Breakthrough in tokyo olympic review: Su Shen led Chinese athletes to create miracles

Wang Quanli, special correspondent of Sports Weekly

Breakthrough is always the main theme in the arena. In that year, Xu Haifeng achieved a breakthrough of zero Gold medals in the Chinese Olympic Games, Liu Xiang became the first yellow race to win the Olympic gold medal at the Tianzhi Straight Road, and the Chinese Legion Gold MedalList at the Beijing Olympic Games was the first to win the bull's ear... Every breakthrough shows the confidence and courage of sports athletes to hit the world's peaks. In the summer of 2021, the national players in the sports arena continued to play the strongest sound of the times in the new round of Olympic competition.

For many years, men's track has been the short legs of Asians, and over the years, a Chinese boy named Su Bingtian has made the Chinese men's sprint no longer lonely, and the Tokyo Olympics have become a highlight.

In recent years, Su Bingtian has continuously improved the fastest speed of the Chinese men's 100 meters, first opening the 10-second mark, then running into the World Championship final, running 9.90 seconds into the norm, and then approaching 9.90 seconds. At the Tokyo Olympics, 32-year-old Su Bingtian once again successfully accelerated, he ran a staggering 9.83 seconds in the men's 100m semifinals, pushing The Asian Speed to a new height while also becoming the first Chinese athlete to run into the Olympic men's 100m final, which is another glory cast for Asian athletics after Liu Xiang's victory in the Athens Olympic Games. In the men's 100-meter battle at the Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian, who had passed the best form, finally finished 6th. Although there is still a distance from the medal, for the Chinese men's 100 meters, 9.83 seconds, the Olympic 6th place, which is not at all unimaginable two heights that year, Su Bingtian's performance in the Olympic 100 meters field, the weight and significance are not inferior to any gold medal won by the Chinese team, which is enough to become a major mark in the Chinese sports world.

At the Tokyo Olympic Games, Chinese athletics also achieved another historic breakthrough: Gong Lijiao achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals for China's throwing event.

For many years, Chinese women's throwing has always been the traditional advantage of Chinese athletics, in 1991 Athletics World Championships Huang Zhihong and Xu Demei won the women's shot put and women's javelin championships respectively, and since then the women's throwing national hand has won the gold medals of the World Championships, the World Cup and the World Indoor World Championships in shot put, javelin, discus, chain ball and other sports. However, the podium of the Olympic athletics champion is unattainable for the Chinese women's throwers, and in the past two or three decades, they have repeatedly rushed to the gold without success, leaving one regret after another. Impact, impact, impact, generations of Chinese track and field athletes in the continuous efforts and challenges, finally achieved a historic breakthrough on August 1, 2021, the Tokyo Olympic Games women's shot put final held on the same day, the recent unique Gong Lijiao finally laughed to the end, she with 20.58 meters of good performance, irreproachably picked the dazzling Olympic crown, the veteran for their own realization of the dream of athletics Grand Slam, created another historic breakthrough in Chinese athletics.

London Olympic gold medal, Rio Olympics silver medal, Tokyo Olympic gold medal, this is the 37-year-old weightlifting legend Lu Xiaojun three times to participate in the Olympic Games handed over the report card. Obviously, this is an infinitely close to perfect answer sheet, and it is even more admirable, and Lu Xiaojun also became the first player in the history of Chinese weightlifting to reach the podium in three Olympic Games. Lü Xiaojun debuted late, but since he set foot in the international arena, he will win gold medals every time he competes in the World Championships, and he will win gold and silver every time he attends the Olympic Games, and his stable competitive state and long duration of competitive strength make people respect for life. The success of the Tokyo Olympic Games is another successful copy of Lu Xiaojun's glorious achievements in his many years of sports career, and the veteran's profound heritage and outstanding performance have made him a legend and a banner in the international weightlifting industry, and can be called the image ambassador of positive energy in the Chinese sports world.

This year's trip to Tokyo marks Wang Shun's third Olympic appearance, when the 27-year-old released a big satellite on the ground to win the gold medal in the men's 200-meter individual medley. In recent years, Wang Shun has been a world-class medley swimmer, but not many people before the competition were optimistic about his gold medal, especially in the absence of Sun Yang at the Tokyo Olympics, and few people have illusions about the men's swimming national hand winning the gold. Under this prospect, Wang Shun took the lead in hitting the wall in the Olympic battlefield, which was very powerful! In fact, Wang Shun won the East Olympic Games, its significance is not only so, he is the second Chinese male swimmer in history to win the Olympic gold medal, he is also the first Chinese male swimmer to win the Olympic gold medal in the middle and long distance freestyle event, Wang Shun's success has broadened the gold medal of Chinese men's swimming and increased the courage of China's swimming to challenge the world's powers. Wang Shun, including the successful examples of Ning Zetao and Xu Jiayu winning the World Championships men's short distance freestyle and men's short distance backstroke show that as long as you dare to do and think, you can succeed. Wang Shun's success makes us believe that there will be more Wang Shun-style breakthroughs in Chinese men's swimming.
