The Tokyo Olympics are currently in full swing, and the Chinese team in recent Olympic Games has been able to maintain a stable position in the top three of the medal table. It's great to be able to debut, but the only thing people usually remember is the gold medal! This article will take stock of the 5 gold medals with the highest gold content in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" > 5th place: 3 gold medals at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics Li Ning</h1>
Li Ning, the prince of gymnastics, must be familiar to everyone, but his brilliant feats may not be seen by most netizens, including the author who has also learned about it on the video!
The 23rd Olympic Games in 1984 were held in Los Angeles, the first Olympic Games in which a Chinese team resumed its participation in the Olympic Games. In this Olympic Games, the Chinese team won a total of 15 gold medals!
Gymnast Li Ning won gold medals in free gymnastics, hoops and pommel horses, and Li Ning also won silver medals in the three vaults and men's teams, and bronze medals in the individual all-around! In the Olympic Games, he won 3 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze!
These three medals are very meaningful because he broke the Soviet Monopoly on gymnastics at the Olympic Games. And in that year, Li Ning was also selected as one of the "35 Heroes of Sports for the 35th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China"!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" > 4th place: Xu Haifeng shooting gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics! </h1>
As mentioned earlier, it was only in 1984 that China resumed participating in the Olympic Games. Because some people in the previous Olympic Organizing Committee insisted on "two Chinas", after changing Taiwan to Chinese Taipei, the Chinese team was willing to play in the Olympic Games!
In 1984, the Chinese team sent 225 athletes, and finally won a total of 15 gold medals, 8 silver medals and 9 bronze medals, ranking fourth in the gold medal list.
In the slow shooting competition of the self-player gun, Xu Haifeng won the gold medal with a score of 566 rings! This is China's first gold medal in the Olympic Games!
Although many players have won gold medals in the back, this is China's first Olympic gold medal after all, which is of great historical significance!
In the 2008 Olympic Games, the original plan was to let Xu Haifeng light the flame, but because of physical reasons, he finally gave up the ignition opportunity to Li Ning. This shows the significance of Xu Haifeng's gold medal!
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="59" > 3rd place: 1984 Los Angeles Olympics 1984 women's volleyball champion</h1>
It was also the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, as the first time to participate in the Olympic Games of New China, in this Olympic Games gave birth to many gold medals with gold content! And the women's volleyball team that participated in the Olympic Games for the first time won the championship!
Before the Olympic Games, the women's volleyball team won the 1982 Women's Volleyball World Championship. In the women's volleyball group stage of the 1984 Olympic Games, China, the United States, Germany and Brazil were divided into Group A, which is the real group of death!
The women's volleyball team first defeated Brazil 3-0 and Germany 3-0, but lost to the United States 1-3. In the semifinals, the women's volleyball team faced the Japanese team, and finally eliminated the opponent 3-0, and in the final, the United States eliminated the opponent 3-0 to win the championship!
Although the women's volleyball team later won the Championship in the 2004 and 16 Olympic Games, this is the first gold medal in the three major balls of the Chinese team, or swept the host to win, this gold medal is very full of gold!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > 2nd place: Zhang Juanjuan 2008 Beijing Olympics individual archery gold medal</h1>
I don't know how many people remember Zhang Juanjuan or how many young friends know Zhang Juanjuan as an athlete. Maybe the sport she is engaged in is archery, very niche, everyone knows not much about her, which can be understood. But in 2008, Zhang Juanjuan was a sensational athlete!
Archery has always been the strength of the Korean team, especially in the women's archery category. Since the Los Angeles Olympics in '84 to the Rio Olympics in 16 years, South Korea has won 8 championships in women's archery in the 9 olympic games, and the one that was interrupted in the middle was won by Zhang Juanjuan!
In 2008, Jang Juanjuan faced Koreans from the quarter-finals, and the three athletes were Joo Hyun-jeong, Yoon Woo-hee and Park Sung-hyun. All three are the top athletes of the Korean archery team, Park Sung-hyun was the champion of the 2004 Athens Olympics, and Yoon Yu-hee even set a world record! These three athletes are equivalent to Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin of the Chinese Table Tennis Men's Singles of the Olympic Games!
However, Jang Juanjuan defeated Chu Hyun-jeong and Yoon Yu-hee in a row to face Park Sung-hyun in the final. Zhang Juanjuan only led by 1 point when there were only two arrows left, but the last arrow, Zhang Juanjuan, shot 9 points and finally won the championship 110-109!
In that year, Zhang Juanjuan was also nominated for Best Female Athlete, and Zhang Yining was finally selected! However, Zhang Yining said in an interview with reporters: I think it is more appropriate for Zhang Juanjuan, which is equivalent to a person defeating Guo Yue, Wang Nan, and me!
The process of Zhang Juanjuan winning the championship is really exciting, and everyone can search for it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" > 1st place: Liu Xiang Gold medal in the 110m hurdles at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games</h1>
Speaking of Liu Xiang, I feel that many netizens owe Liu Xiang a "sorry"! As an iconic figure in the Chinese sports world, he withdrew from the game because of injury but was insulted by some fans!
Before Liu Xiang, sprinting had always been the domain of blacks and whites. Even the Chinese team has struggled to reach the final of the Olympic Games in the sprint event before. And Liu Xiang broke this mockery with strength and action!
In the 110m hurdles event in 2004, Liu Xiang's first round of preliminaries was 13.28 seconds, the second round was 13.33 seconds, and the semi-final was 13.19 seconds, making it easy to enter the final! After entering the final, Liu Xiang said in an interview: Tomorrow I will not care, play with them, spell out one is one!
At 2:30 a.m. Beijing time on August 28, 2004, the final of the 110-meter hurdles was ushered in, and Liu Xiang won the world championship with a time of 12.91 seconds. After the game, Liu Xiang was excited and shed tears, and also said: Who said that yellow people can't take the top eight of the Olympics? I must prove to you today that I am an Olympic champion!
This is the first and currently the only Olympic champion in China's history to win a sprint competition, which shows how much gold content this gold medal has! And in 2006, he also ran 12.87 seconds, setting a new world record!
But then Liu Xiang began to suffer injuries, and Achilles tendon injuries were the main injuries. In 2008, Liu Xiang withdrew from the Olympic Games because of the problem of Achilles tendon. In the 12th London Olympic Games, Liu Xiang forced his debut again, fell in the first hurdle, and was diagnosed with a torn Achilles tendon!
Liu Xiang's career has won a total of 40 championships and 16 runners-up, but many people only remember his two Olympic retirements!
Finally, I hope that Chinese athletes can cheer up. It should still be said that standing on the field is already remarkable, and the purpose of sports is to break through themselves! No one wants to lose, just hope that everyone can be tolerant when the athletes don't get the medals!
