The first gold medal for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was won by the Chinese sports delegation. Yang Qian, a post-00s young player who represented the Chinese shooting team, won the championship in the women's individual 10-meter air rifle final, helping the Chinese team win the first gold of the Olympic Games. What is surprising is that two years later, at the Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese team is expected to become the first gold medalist in the Olympic Games again. A few days ago, the International Olympic Committee has officially approved the passage of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and the time for each event and gold medal point is also released.
According to the schedule, the first gold medal of the Paris Olympic Games will be produced on July 27, and there will be gold medals in judo, fencing, shooting, swimming, rugby sevens, diving and other sports. What excites everyone most is that the first gold medal of the Paris Olympic Games will most likely be produced in diving and shooting, both of which are the traditional strengths of the Chinese team. As long as it plays normally, the Chinese team is very likely to win the first gold medal in the Paris Olympics again after the Tokyo Olympics. Judging from previous Olympic Games, weightlifting and shooting have always been important birthplaces of the first gold, and the Chinese team has strong strength in both events. In particular, the weightlifting project is in an absolute hegemonic position.
However, due to the adjustments made by the Organizing Committee of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in the schedule, the weightlifting event was replaced by diving and became the birth event of the first gold. But this change has no impact on the Chinese team, the weightlifting team and the diving team can be called the two dream teams of the Chinese sports delegation, no matter which project undertakes the heavy responsibility of winning the first Olympic gold. Two years later, at the Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese shooting team and the Chinese diving team will hit the first gold medal, and many netizens have said that the first gold medal is already in the hands of the Chinese team.
Judging from the competitiveness of the shooting and diving events, the diving team has higher hopes and insurance coefficients than the shooting team. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese diving team won 7 gold medals, and the Chinese shooting team also set a new high, winning four gold medals. Both teams are the main gold medallists of the Chinese team at the Paris Olympic Games. According to the schedule of previous Olympic Games, shooting events will generally be held in the morning, but diving events are mostly selected in the afternoon or evening. If this time is followed, the shooting arena is still the birthplace of the first gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
Referring to the characteristics of the Olympic games and the excitement of the athletes in each time period, the women's 10-meter air rifle is most likely to be placed in the first gold medal event. Yang Qian won the event at the Tokyo Olympics, and if this event becomes the first gold event of the Paris Olympic Games again, she will attack her second Olympic gold medal. In terms of current state and strength, the Paris Olympic Games is still the peak of Yang Qian's career, can she win the championship again and become the first gold medalist in two consecutive Olympic Games?
