Disgrace! The national football team loses to Vietnam and loses to Thailand Netizen: Japan has not yet played at the World Championships and Asian Games
On the evening of July 7 and December 12, Beijing time, in the final of the men's 4X100m relay of the Asian Athletics Championships, the Chinese team composed of Wu Zhiqiang, Xie Zhenye, Chen Jiapeng and Chen Guanfeng lost to the host Thai team and finished second, the Thai team won the championship in 38.55 seconds, and the Chinese team won the silver medal in 38.87 seconds. Some netizens mentioned this match together with the national football team losing to the Vietnamese team, and said that the Chinese men's relay actually lost to the Thai team when the Asian strong team Japan did not participate, not to mention that there is no hope of winning a medal at this year's World Championships, and the dream of revenge at this year's Hangzhou Asian Games is also hanging.
The Chinese 4x100m relay team has won many Olympic bronze medals and world championship medals in its history, but the overall strength of the Chinese men's relay team was greatly affected due to Su Bingtian's early withdrawal from the 2023 season due to age and injury.
In the preliminary round of the Asian Championships this morning, the Chinese men's relay team composed of Wu Zhiqiang, Xie Zhenye, Chen Jiapeng and Chen Guanfeng won the first place in the second group with a time of 39.12 seconds and successfully advanced to the final. However, the Chinese team's result is only the second overall result in the preliminary round, and the first overall result in the preliminary round is the host Thai team, which ran 38.66 seconds.
The Chinese team played very generally in this final tonight, and the biggest problem was that the handover of the baton was not very smooth, which was not very rhythmic in the overall feeling. The first baseman Wu Zhiqiang was injured and did not run very well, Xie Zhenye returned to the most familiar second baseman position, and the Thai team only chased a small distance, after all, the theoretical distance of the second baseman was the shortest, about 80 meters. The most important thing is that the next two Chinese team young Chen Jiapeng and Chen Guanfeng played averagely, and finally lost to the Thai team.
According to the standards of this year's World Championships in Budapest, the Chinese team needs to run more than 38.50 seconds in the official competition to get a ticket, and now that the start time of the World Championships is very close, there are still variables in whether the Chinese team can qualify for the World Championships.
At the last Asian Games in Jakarta, due to Xie Zhenye's injury and the overall strength of the team declined, Su Bingtian led the young team to win the bronze medal, and the Japanese team led by Ryota Yamagata and Shohide Kiryu ran 38.16 seconds to win the championship. The current state of the Chinese men's relay team has sports fans worried that the Chinese team at this year's Hangzhou Asian Games is likely to have no hope of revenge.
In tonight's Asian Championships women's 4x100m relay final, Liang Xiaojing, Wei Yongli, Yuan Qiqi and Ge Manqi won the championship in 43.35 seconds, winning the first gold medal for China.
