Major changes! Exposing the change of rules at the Paris Olympics, China's gold medal winning power has been hit hard, which is worrying

Although the Tokyo Olympics have been less than a year in the past, all the Olympic delegations around the world have already been put into preparation for the new Olympic cycle, and there are only about 2 years left before the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the preparation time is already very tight.

Recently, the qualifications for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games have also been released. It is reported that the badminton points competition cycle of this Olympic Games will begin on May 1, 2023 and end on April 30, 2024, and the number of participants will be determined according to the final Olympic points ranking. No more than 8 men and women from each country or region, i.e. a maximum of 16 participants per association.

Previously, when the Chinese badminton team participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games, it did not qualify for the full quota, and only a pair of male doubles players qualified for the competition. At present, there is only one year away from the Paris Olympic Points Race, and due to the impact of the epidemic and its own strength, the national men's line will still face great challenges if it wants to get a full quota.

In the Olympic games, table tennis, badminton, diving, shooting and weightlifting have always been popular gold medals for the Chinese team. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese delegation won 38 gold medals, and the number of gold medals won abroad, among which the traditional ace events showed super heritage. But unfortunately, with the announcement of new rules for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese team's super gold medal, weightlifting, has also suffered a serious impact.

At last year's Tokyo Olympic Games, 8 athletes of the Chinese weightlifting team participated in the competition and won a total of 7 gold and 1 silver, making outstanding contributions to the Chinese delegation. In the new regulations, weightlifting teams around the world can only send up to 6 athletes to participate in the competition, and strictly require only one athlete in each level to participate, which means that the national Olympic Committees can only win up to 6 weightlifting gold medals.

This reform undoubtedly has a great impact on the weightlifting team of the Chinese delegation, not only the number of gold medals to be greatly reduced, but also the number of participants in each delegation, the number of participants at all levels, etc. The competition within the Chinese weightlifting team will undoubtedly become more and more intense, and many internationally renowned Chinese weightlifters will be limited by the number of participants, and may have no choice but to retire.

Many netizens believe that the gold medals that have been cut in this project can only be made up from other projects. It is estimated that this pressure will be transferred to Liu Guoliang's body, and the Chinese table tennis team must win gold medals in five table tennis events, which will also become a new challenge for the Chinese team.
