In the men's team final of the Paris Olympics, the performance of the Chinese gymnastics team was eye-catching. However, accidents occurred frequently, and the gold medal that was originally close at hand gradually faded away. With a total score of 259.062 points, the Chinese team unfortunately trailed Japan by 0.532 points and could only win the silver medal in the end.
Strong pre-match performance
In the pre-match qualifying round, the Chinese team performed well, ranking first with 263.028 points, 2.434 points ahead of the second-place Japan team. This advantage has made the Chinese team highly anticipated before the final, and many gymnastics fans believe that the Chinese team will have a good chance of winning the gold medal and repeating the glory of 2012.
Six events in the finals were competed
In the finals, the Chinese team performed well in five events: floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault and parallel bars, which were completed by Xiao Ruoteng, Zhang Boheng, Su Weide, Zou Jingyuan and Liu Yang. At the end of these five events, the Chinese team took the lead for a while, especially after the rings event, and they returned to the top of the table with 131.364 points, further consolidating their lead.
Su Weide's horizontal bar error
However, the turning point came in the horizontal bar event. During the horizontal bar competition, Su Weide dropped the bar twice, resulting in his score of only 11.600 points. This mistake dropped China's total score to 244.329 points, thus being surpassed by Japan's 245.028 points. The original 3-point advantage was instantly wiped out, and this accident made the coaches and players on the sidelines look extremely nervous.
The last struggle
Although Zhang Boheng, who came out in the end, scored 14.733 points in the horizontal bar event, he still failed to make up for his previous mistakes. The Chinese team finally won the silver medal with 259.062 points, only 0.532 points away from the gold medal. With a total score of 259.594 points, the Japan team won the highly anticipated gold medal.
Victory of the Japan team
After the game, all the members of the Japan team burst into tears and hugged each other excitedly to celebrate the victory. This is Japan's sixth gold medal at the Games, a result that puts them back at the top of the medal table, surpassing China and Korea.
The regret of the Chinese gymnastics team
For the Chinese gymnastics team, the result of this competition is undoubtedly regrettable. Once upon a time, the men's team event has been the strength of the Chinese team, but in recent Olympics, they have failed to win another gold medal. In the last Olympics, the Chinese team only finished third, and the last time they won the championship was back in 2012.
Although the results of this competition are not satisfactory, the strength and potential of the Chinese gymnastics team cannot be ignored. By summarizing the lessons learned in this competition, I believe that they will be able to achieve better results in future competitions. In particular, the cultivation of young players will be the key to the return of the Chinese gymnastics team to the top.
Social repercussions and controversies
The results of this game have caused a lot of discussion at home and abroad. Many netizens expressed sympathy and understanding for Su Weide's performance, but some people questioned the arrangement of the coaching staff, believing that more attention should be paid to the psychological construction of the players in training to avoid mistakes at critical moments. At the same time, some people believe that there is a certain dispute between the victory of the Japan team and the scoring of the referee, and the fairness of the referee is questioned.
The performance of the Chinese gymnastics team in the men's team final at the Paris Olympics is impressive, although it is a narrow disadvantage to the runner-up, but this does not mean that they are not enough. It is expected that in the future competitions, the Chinese gymnastics team can overcome difficulties and create more brilliance. The victory of the Japan team has also added a touch of color to the development of world gymnastics. Every competition is a test and inspiration for athletes, coaches and spectators, and let's look forward to a bright future for gymnastics.
