After the race, Wen Xiaoyan told reporters that the improvement of performance came from changing the starting mode. "The biggest breakthrough is to start using the starting device. Today, I did some preparatory activities dozens of minutes in advance before the race. Unexpectedly, the whole person was in a particularly good state." She said that she would concentrate on the new starting method in the future and practice it more stably.

Zhou Zhaoqian and Tian Yajuan won the gold and silver medals of women's 1500m T54 with 3:33:86 and 3:33:91 respectively. Zhou Zhaoqian from Hebei said: "This is a pre Olympic training for us. The national team has been training for a long time, and the coach also wants to exercise our personal ability." Next, the two will go to Shanghai non-stop to continue preparing for the Paris Paralympic Games.
