On August 2, local time, in the tennis mixed doubles competition of the Paris Olympics, the Chinese combination Wang Xinyu/Zhang Zhizhen lost to the Czech pair Siniakova/Makhac and won the silver medal.
After Zheng Qinwen advanced to the women's singles tennis final, the Chinese team announced that she would withdraw from the mixed doubles and be replaced by Wang Xinyu. The interim duo of Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen made history by winning silver in four days, the first time the Chinese team participated in the mixed doubles tennis competition at the Olympic Games.
Wang Xinyu didn't even have time to change her shoes when she shook people temporarily, if it weren't for the expensive ticket home, she wouldn't have been able to stay to participate in this game, but she reached the final and won the silver medal.
Throughout this game, the two played very easily and without pressure, and the two laughed from beginning to end, and their state was very relaxed. Even if he didn't win the gold medal in the end, he still smiled happily, after all, it was far better than the best record of the Chinese tennis Olympics.
It is a fantasy that there are no mistakes in competitive sports, but the happiness of the two people on the court is visible to the naked eye, and it can be seen that they are so full of happiness if they really love tennis! The audience's tense hearts were healed by the smiles of the two.
Technicals aside, perhaps it was this relaxed mentality that allowed them to go all the way to the final and win the silver medal.
