At the Paris Olympics, the swimming team boasted of winning 6 gold medals before the competition, but suffered a waterloo.
There are multiple world champions in the 32-man squad, but so far only Zhang Yufei has won the bronze medal in the 100m individual event and the women's 100m relay, Qin Haiyang is seventh, and the rest of the athletes have not performed well.
The pre-competition drug test scandal had a significant impact on the national team, and more than 200 inspections in seven days interfered with the athletes' state, but no one complained.
In the face of doubts, Zhang Yufei cried, Qin Haiyang spoke incoherently, Sun Yang, the former overlord of the swimming world, couldn't sit still, and he decided to make a comeback this year.
Before the competition, the swimming team had vowed to win six gold medals at the Olympics, but the actual results were not satisfactory.
In this 32-member squad, only Zhang Yufei won two bronze medals in the women's 100m individual event and the women's 100m relay, and Qin Haiyang finished seventh in his event.
The frequent conduct of drug tests has become an important factor affecting the status of the swimming team.
In just seven days, more than 200 drug tests were conducted, and from early morning to night, the team members barely had a respite.
This high-intensity frequency of drug tests can severely interfere with the normal training and rest of athletes, making it difficult for them to perform at their best in competitions.
Regrettably, in the face of such frequent drug tests, no team member has complained, perhaps out of respect for international sports rules, or out of desperation of the practical predicament.
After the game, Zhang Yufei burst into tears, and this strong girl was under tremendous pressure.
During the interview, her voice was choked, and her eyes revealed loss and unwillingness.
And Qin Haiyang also seemed incoherent in front of the media, and it was obvious that the result of the game hit him very hard.
What's even more heart-wrenching is that they not only have to bear the pain of losing the game, but also face merciless ridicule from some netizens.
These netizens easily make negative remarks without understanding the tremendous efforts and difficulties faced by the athletes, which is undoubtedly another handful of salt on the injured hearts of athletes.
On the table tennis field, the "Shatou Combination" composed of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin shoulders the mission of winning gold in mixed doubles.
They passed all the way, showing strong strength and tacit cooperation.
In the final, the "Shatou Combination" encountered a dark horse combination from North Korea, and at the beginning of the match, the two sides launched a fierce competition, and the score rose alternately.
With their outstanding performance and tenacious fighting spirit, the North Korean combination caused a lot of trouble for the "Shatou Combination".
Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin showed more stable psychological quality and superb skills at critical moments.
They made timely tactical adjustments and gradually gained the upper hand.
After six rounds of fierce battles, the "Shatou Combination" defeated the opponent with a score of 4:2 and successfully won the gold medal, winning the sixth gold medal for the delegation of this Olympic Games.
Looking back on the whole competition, it was not all smooth sailing for the "Shatou Combination", in the semi-finals, they went through many rounds of fierce battles, and the physical strength of the two was seriously overdrawn.
With their tenacious will and desire to win, they persevered to the end and successfully advanced to the final.
After winning the championship, an unexpected thing happened.
Wang Chuqin's championship racket was suspected of being trampled on by a foreign journalist after the game, and the handle cracked.
Although there was a spare racket at his disposal, the unexpected situation undoubtedly had a certain impact on his subsequent matches.
The coach felt helpless about this, and Wang Chuqin himself was also very annoyed, and this incident sparked heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and everyone's reactions were mixed.
Some netizens expressed sympathy and support for Wang Chuqin, hoping that he could recover as soon as possible and achieve good results in the follow-up competitions.
Some netizens also questioned the order of the arena, believing that management should be strengthened to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents.
Sun Yang, a legend in the swimming world, once fell into a trough due to the "doping" scandal, and Sun Yang resolutely announced his comeback this year.
Sun Yang's decision undoubtedly requires great courage and determination.
The turmoil of the past brought a heavy blow to his career, but he never gave up his love for swimming and the pursuit of national honor.
Now, he has chosen to return to the competition at this critical time, undoubtedly hoping to bring new hope and change to the swimming team.
Although Sun Yang faces many challenges, such as aging, declining physical performance, and doubts and pressure from the outside world, his comeback is still expected by the majority of swimmers.
It is hoped that with his experience and tenacity, he will be able to re-prove himself on the field and contribute to the rise of the swimming team.
On this Olympic stage, which is full of challenges and opportunities, athletes write their own chapters with sweat and tears.
Although the swimming team suffered setbacks in this Olympic Games, their hard work and fighting spirit cannot be denied.
The victory of the "Shatou Combination" showed us the strong strength and inheritance spirit of table tennis, and the comeback of Sun Yang made us look forward to the future of the swimming team.
The poor performance of the swimming team has triggered a deep reflection in China.
From the training system to the preparation for the event, from the psychological counseling of athletes to the strategies for coping with external interference, every aspect needs to be revisited and improved.
In terms of training, a more scientific and personalized approach may be needed.
According to the physical characteristics and technical advantages of each athlete, the training plan is tailored to improve the pertinence and effectiveness of training.
Strengthen physical and endurance training to cope with the high-intensity pace of competition.
The importance of psychological counseling cannot be overlooked, as athletes need professional psychological support to maintain a good mindset in the face of great pressure and expectations.
The preparation for the event needs to be more meticulous, and the communication and exchange with international sports organizations should be strengthened to ensure that the rights and interests of athletes are fully protected.
For the success of the "Shatou Combination", we must not only see their wonderful performance on the field, but also think about the success of the team support and training model behind it.
Drawing on his experience to other sports and promoting the all-round development of sports, Sun Yang's comeback is not only a personal choice, but also an incentive for the entire swimming team.
His experience and perseverance will set an example for the younger team members and lead to the rise of more swimming talents.
In the future, we look forward to the swim team improving its infrastructure and increasing the popularity of grassroots swimming.
Strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, learn advanced training concepts and technologies, and constantly improve their own strength.
I believe that with the joint efforts of all sports people, the swimming team will be able to create more brilliance in future international competitions and win more honors for the motherland.
Let's give the swimming team enough time and patience, and hope that they will grow in the midst of setbacks, rise in the midst of difficulties, and return to the top of the world swimming with a more high-spirited attitude.
I also hope that the "Shatou Combination" can maintain a good state and continue to add luster to the table tennis career, and Sun Yang can move forward smoothly on the road to comeback, realize his goals and dreams, and the future can be expected!
