On the evening of September 16, the women's 57 kg final of the National Games judo battle, Shanxi's 30-year-old veteran Zhang Wen won a silver medal.

Born in 1991, Zhang Wen trained in judo at the Linfen Sports School and showed great talent. At the 2013 National Championships, Zhang Wen had won the gold medal in the 63 kg category by Xu Lili, the runner-up of the London Olympic Games, and Xu Yuhua, the champion of the National Games.

Yesterday's National Games, Zhang Wen played very well overall, only the final was slightly regrettable. In the final, Zhang Wen and Lu Tongjuan of Guangdong team met, and the two were both old rivals in the domestic arena and teammates of the national team for many years.

When the final was held for 3 minutes and 18 seconds, Zhang Wen did not do a single move, and there was a fatal small mistake. Lu Tongjuan seized the opportunity and ended the game with a "one book". "One book" is a judo way of scoring, when an athlete completes a "one book" action, the race is immediately won.

Zhang Wen was previously a 63 kg player, and although she had outstanding skills, her strength was relatively weak, and she won the fifth place in the previous two National Games. In recent years, Zhang Wen has turned to the 57 kg class, making up for the lack of strength, and the effect of the game is obvious.

"Of course, losing 6 kilograms, Zhang Wen has experienced a lot of suffering that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine." According to Zhang Zhanwen, director of the Shanxi Provincial Heavy Athletics Center, "This is her fourth time to participate in the National Games, and it is also the first time she has stood on the podium." On the podium, the huge regret made Zhang Wen cry.
