Points are an after thought at this point, I'm just glad Zhou walked away seemingly unscathed. By the sound of things he looks set to race again in Austria this weekend, plus we aren't even at the halfway point of the season. Plenty more opportunities for Zhou to score points.

If y'all weren't watching the live broadcast, they wouldn't even show the replay of the crash until they could confirm Zhou was responsive.... which took like a good scary half an hour.
I subscribed to Formula 1 TV just for Zhou and I was really looking forward to him faring well at this grand prix because it looks like he's having a good handle on his qualifying woes especially against a renowned qualifier in Valteri Bottas.

But as you said, it's all moot when his life was literally on the line with that crash and thankfully the safety measures around the car, barrier etc. saved his life. I just hope that this crash wouldn't dampen his zest for racing because such incident is essentially part and parcel of mostorsport racing and the expectations of the drivers dying isn't out of the question. Because I'd the accident shakens his confidence then you might as well call it quits.

History made for Chinese men's tennis. It's not something that will make people sit up and notice but for tennis fan like me it's an important step for Chinese male tennis players relevance.

Especially for the youngster, Shang Juncheng potential is there but as we all know for young tennis players , very difficult to know his trajectory. His dad is former national team football player and his mum also national table tennis player

I've been following him for a year now. Last year He has been in quarters, semis, final of the junior grand slams. He has very good tennis brains but not many weapons and he isn't as developed physically. Hopefully he continues to grow and stay focused.

I'm gonna keep following his development. Marcelo Rio's the former Chilean number one is apparently his coach.

That last jump was epic. I think everyone expected the Greek silver medalist who is Olympics and euro champion to win.

I watched a clip yesterday at bilibili that had three versions of different commentary in french, Japanese and Chinese. Interestingly the Chinese commentator was least excited lol
