Wang Ching-cheng, general secretary of the Chinese Taipei Athletics Association, praised the athletes for their efforts.

Wang emphasized that since the medal winners are still young, Taiwan has a promising future in athletics. He noted that although Lin narrowly missed a gold medal by just 2 centimeters, the total medal count for Taiwan surpassed that of the previous edition, indicating clear progress.
