Nation takes top spot at global skills competition

In the Manufacturing Team Challenge, competitors Lu Yanlin, Zhan Xianda and Ma Jiajia were honored with the Best of Nation award. Additionally, in the Industry 4.0 skill discipline, Lu Junwei and Xie Huiyuan earned the prestigious Albert Vidal Award, which recognizes the competitor with the highest overall points across all skill competitions. This marks the second time China has claimed this prestigious accolade.

Among the gold medalists were Fan Canhao and Jiang Jiajun, who triumphed in the Autonomous Mobile Robotics discipline. Reflecting on their success, Fan said, "I am extremely happy to have won this gold medal for China and to bring honor to the country, especially since the win was somewhat unexpected."

Jiang added, "The biggest takeaway is that international competitions are quite different from domestic selections. We'll definitely review this experience and prepare for the next WorldSkills in Shanghai, focusing on adaptability, time management and attention to detail."
