On July 6, the 2024 Asian Youth Table Tennis Championships concluded in Chongqing. The Chinese team clinched 4 more titles on the final day, wrapping up the competition with a total of 10 gold medals.

Zong Geman secured four championships in team, women's singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. Huang Xunan earned a silver medal in men's doubles. Their achievements brought honor to both themselves and the Chinese team.

The Asian Youth Table Tennis Championships gathered top young players from various countries and regions across Asia, showcasing high-level skills and fierce competition. As a member of the Chinese team, Zong Geman demonstrated extraordinary strength and resilience. Along with her teammates, Zong easily won the U19 women's team final with a 3-0 victory, and then dominated the individual events, winning consecutive golds.

Notably, in the U19 women's singles final, Zong and her national teammate Wang Xiaonan, which was the competitor in this match, delivered a thrilling seven-set match, with Zong ultimately winning 4-3. In mixed doubles, Zong Geman and her partner cooperated flawlessly, reaching the top of the podium once again. Achieving the "quadruple crown" is a remarkable feat, as the last athlete accomplished is Sun Yingsha in 2017.
