Shanghai senior Tang Xinkun has captured the hearts of many with his 13 illustrations of Chinese athletes at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The athletes include Yang Qian, a gold medalist in women's 10-meter air rifle competition, who is depicted celebrating her win with a heart-shaped gesture, Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter to reach an Olympic 100m final, and Quan Hongchan, the 14-year-old gold medalist in the women's 10-meter platform diving competition.
"I like drawing and am also a sports lover. I was moved by the performances of these athletes and I wanted recreate their movements with my pencil," said the 60-year-old.
