Intern Reporter for Great Sports Media

During the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, I interned as a reporter for Shanghai Media Group’s (SMG) sports channel, Great Sports Media. Since none of the other 4 group members spoke French or English, I was in charge of conducting all foreign language interviews. Over the three weeks, I conducted more than 100 interviews, accumulating over 750 minutes of footage. After these interviews, I also took on the challenge of editing and translating each segment into Chinese for same-day news broadcasts in Shanghai. By the end, these videos reached millions on TV each day and on Chinese social media such as WeChat and Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok). The most memorable experiences that will stick with me forever would be interviewing figures such as Juan Antonio Samaranch Salisachs (Vice President of the International Olympic Committee), David Graham (CEO of World Sailing), QuanHai Li (President of World Sailing), and ZhiZheng Zhang and XinYu Wang (Finalists for the Tennis Mixed Doubles Competitions).
