On December 29, Beijing time, 2021 is coming to an end, various inventory of the year-end of the sports industry is released, and the Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency has also rated the top ten athletes in China in 2021: Yang Qian, Su Bingtian, Shi Tingmao, Ma Long, Gong Lijiao, Gu Ailing, Lü Xiaojun, Zhang Yufei, Wang Shun, Chen Yufei.
Yang Qian was the Tokyo Olympic shooting women's 10m air rifle champion, winning the first gold medal for the Chinese Olympic team; Su Bingtian made Chinese and Asian history in the men's sprint in athletics, setting a new Asian record in 9.83 seconds, becoming the first Asian to stand in the Olympic 100m final in the era of electronic timer; Shi Tingmao was the double champion of the women's three-meter board singles and doubles at the Tokyo Olympic Games; Ma Long won the men's table tennis men's singles gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics; and Gong Lijiao won the women's shot put championship at the Tokyo Olympic Games Gu Ailing was an important gold medalist for the Chinese team at the Beijing Winter Olympics; Lu Xiaojun was the men's 81 kg champion in the weightlifting men's 81 kg category at the Tokyo Olympic Games; Zhang Yufei won 2 gold, 2 silver and 4 medals at the Tokyo Olympic Swimming Competition; Wang Shun won the men's 200m medley championship at the Tokyo Olympics; and Chen Yufei was the women's singles champion in badminton at the Tokyo Olympics.
It is worth mentioning that the above Xinhua News Agency rated all of The top ten Chinese athletes in 2021 are Olympic sports, in fact, in addition to the Olympic projects, Chinese athletes have also achieved good results in other non-Olympic sports in 2021, such as snooker: Yan Bingtao won the 2021 Snooker Masters championship, and Zhao Xintong won the 2021 Snooker Championship.
So, does it mean that non-Austrian projects are not valued by Xinhua News Agency? The answer is no, although the Masters and the British Championship are one of the three major snooker competitions, but after all, it is not the World Championship, if a Chinese player wins the snooker World Championship, then the annual top ten athletes, the Xinhua News Agency Sports Department will definitely consider. Previously, we pinned our hopes on Ding Junhui, but now we are looking forward to yan bingtao and Zhao Xintong and other young players of China's snooker generation.
