China's rowers quickly adapted to the competition arrangements and steadily advanced in each event, securing medals in multiple events. In terms of the distribution of results, medals came in both senior and youth categories: Liu Jiayu won gold in the men's single sculls; Zhu Weiwei won gold in the youth women's single sculls; Su Juntao and Liu Lili won gold in the youth mixed double sculls; Zhao Xu and Yuan Zihao won gold in the youth men's double sculls; Zhu Wenjie won silver in the women's single sculls; Gong Jiale and Li Lele won silver in the youth women's double sculls; Li Juanjuan, Zhao Yecheng, Tan Rukai, Gao Hongze and Guo Yizhu won silver in the mixed quadruple sculls with coxswain; and Bu Boren won bronze in the youth men's single sculls.

　　It is worth noting that Liu Jiayu put in a particularly impressive performance in the men's single sculls gold medal race. He took a strong early lead, was overtaken midway after his boat's seat board unexpectedly fell off, and then overtook his rival at the decisive moment to win the title, demonstrating the mental toughness of a Chinese athlete at a critical moment. "I feel very proud because I kept this gold medal in China," an excited Liu Jiayu said after winning. "I started at 4 a.m. every day preparing for the competition, all for this moment. Winning makes everything worth it."
