According to the China sports delegation, the Beijing Olympic women's rowing champion Jin will be the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the China sports delegation of the Guangzhou Asian Games. This is the first time that a China sports delegation has a female athlete as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. Further reading: China Asian Games standard-bearer: Jin broke the monopoly and became the only female standard-bearer.

Jin is not the first female flag bearer of China sports delegation to participate in a large-scale sports meeting. When talking about the reason why Kim was elected, an official of the China sports delegation pointed out: "She has a good image and a tall figure, especially in sports." Jin, a 25-year-old Liaoning girl, won the 29th gold medal for the China delegation in the women's quadruple sculls competition. This is the first gold medal won by China rowing and even Asian rowing in the Olympic Games. Previously, swimmer Zhang Lin, who broke the world record in the men's 800m freestyle at last year's World Championships and won the championship, was the most likely flag bearer. China sports delegation has been innovating in the selection of standard bearers for the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. Since 1974 participated in the Asian Games, the men's basketball team or men's volleyball team won the flag bearer for eight times in a row. However, in the 2006 Doha Asian Games, the flag bearer of the China delegation was a feather. The official said that the China delegation had never studied the specific candidates for the flag bearer before, and denied that Zhang Lin, the world champion of swimming, and Dānlín, the leader of the badminton team, were candidates. Jin, born in 1985, is a Liaoning rower, with a height of1.83m. He was selected for the national team in 2003. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, under the age of 20, she took part in the women's eight-person single oar helmsman project and won the fourth place, which missed the medal. After the Athens Olympic Games, the brand "Biluochun" /lvcha/4343/b-04.html was changed to sculls, and the women's four-person sculls team composed of Feng Guixin, Tang Bin and Xi Aihua won the 2007 World Cup and the bronze medal in the World Championships, which was called the "four golden flowers" in water sports. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, in the rowing women's quadruple sculls final, she partnered with her teammates Tang Bin, Xi Aihua and Zhang Yangyang to beat the favourite British team and win the gold medal. This is also the first gold medal in rowing since China participated in the Olympic Games. Their names are recorded in the history of rowing in China. At the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Kim also won the gold medal in women's single sculls. In this Asian Games, Jin and Tang Bin will continue to lead the China rowing team, which is expected to achieve good results.
