The Hangzhou Asian Games will conclude on the evening of the 8th. Zhou Jinqiang, deputy head of the Chinese sports delegation, said in an interview that the Chinese sports delegation won 201 gold, 111 silver, 71 bronze and a total of 383 medals, achieving the best result in the history of Asian Games.
According to statistics, the Chinese sports delegation broke the world record 3 times, the Asian record 18 times, and the Asian Games record 74 times at this Asian Games. "The overall performance was excellent, better than expected, consolidating and strengthening the overall advantage of Chinese competitive sports in Asia." Zhou Jinqiang said.

In summarizing the competition, the Chinese sports delegation praised veterans such as Ma Long, Gong Lijiao, Ye Shiwen and Sun Peiyuan, as well as young players such as Huang Yuting, Liu Huanhua, Cui Chenxi, Yuan Liying, Chen Guanfeng, Yan Haibin, Chen Jiapeng, and outstanding athletes such as Zhang Yufei and Lin Yuwei who made a deep impression in this event.
At the same time, the summary also pointed out three major problems exposed by the Chinese team in this competition: first, the traditional advantages such as table tennis, badminton, and weightlifting were strongly challenged; Second, the performance of the "three big balls" is not satisfactory; Third, there is still a gap between some projects that have won gold medals and the world level.

In this Asian Games, the Chinese team won a total of 2 golds, 1 silver and 2 bronzes in the "three big balls" event, and the specific results are: women's basketball gold medal, women's volleyball gold medal, men's volleyball silver medal, women's football bronze medal, men's basketball bronze medal, men's football quarterfinals.
For the "three big balls" that have attracted much attention, the summary said:
Although the women's basketball team and the women's volleyball team successfully defended their titles and achieved their expected goals, the men's basketball team lost to the Philippines team that was not the main team in the semifinals, and the women's football team lost to the Japanese second-tier team in the semifinals, and the overall performance of the "three big balls" was still far from the expectations of the people. In particular, the men's basketball team did not withstand the pressure in key games and key moments, and was reversed in the case of a big lead, which once again exposed problems in national team management, technical and tactical level, training, psychology, on-the-spot command and other aspects.

It is understood that the Chinese sports delegation has asked each project to be problem-oriented and seriously summarize the competition.
See Paris from Hangzhou, see the Olympics from the Asian Games. The Paris Olympics will begin on July 26 next year, and from that moment there will be less than 300 days to prepare.
Through this Asian Games, the Chinese team has achieved the purpose of training the team, discovering new people and finding problems. In the next 300 days, I hope that Chinese athletes will go all out to let the flower of dreams bloom on the Olympic stage.
