At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the badminton mixed doubles event tested the training results of the Chinese team in recent years during the six-day competition, and many of them watched the badminton mixed doubles competition, and the memory began to drift back to the Tokyo Olympics, under the chaos of the Korea team, they finally failed to win the gold as they wished, and this trip to Paris, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong lived up to expectations and finally won the gold medal!
The Chinese badminton team's competition in Paris can be described as a "good start", because before the mixed doubles, there have been two gold medals belonging to the Chinese team, both of which are women's doubles events, and the mixed doubles championship seems to be expected, this game is also the third gold medal won by the Chinese team at the Paris Olympics, a total of the fourth day, except for the first day there was no gold medal, and every day after that there were gold medals of the Chinese team.
Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong's road to winning the championship.
Then let's start with the first day, the highlight of that day is the women's team finals, of course, the Chinese women's volleyball team with a perfect score did not participate, in the badminton doubles project, China is the absolute home advantage, in the women's doubles and mixed doubles competition, China's probability of winning the championship is as high as 93%, even the United Kingdom and the United States are not as high as this data.
So from a certain probability, this does not mean that China will win, such a high probability of winning the championship, so that Chinese badminton lost in Tokyo, this trip to Paris failed to win two gold medals is also very helpless, and the way to win the gold medal is to let Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong defeat the Korea combination, this time the winning Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong combination won the gold medal as desired, becoming the beginning of the Chinese badminton mixed doubles gold medal.
Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong's combination is like a dream CP, Zheng Siwei's tactical awareness and reaction speed undoubtedly make Huang Yaqiong's physical fitness and offensive awareness perfect like a human elf, in addition to Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong's mixed doubles combination, there is also an "IELTS combination", their doubles combination is also strong.
This time, they reached the semi-finals and started the road to the championship of Chinese badminton, although the IELTS pair spent 55 minutes in the semi-finals and went through a hard-fought battle to finally seal the championship with a score of 2-1 and win the ticket to the final.
Facing the Korea pair in the final, although the Korea combination is stronger than the IELTS combination, the IELTS combination can still easily win the championship with a score of 2-0 in 39 minutes, although there is no mixed doubles final, but the IELTS combination has already won the championship.
Korea's table tennis strength is amazing, in the men's event there are different pairs of Jackie Chan and Zhang Chenglong, and in the women's event there are Li Chuang and Lee Youning, so in the mixed doubles event, the Korea pair is also the favorite to win the championship.
However, the Chinese players are the pride of China, and in the group stage, they met two strong Korea pairs, one is the Yellow Duck pair, and the other is the Bamboo Yellow pair encountered in the final mixed doubles final.
The problem with these two pairs is that they can't beat Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong's seven points, although both pairs are going all out, but in the end they all ended in a fiasco, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong reached the final with the attitude of "sweeping thousands of troops".
Facing the Zhuhuang combination in the final, the Zhuhuang combination can be said to be a little famous, and it is also a big challenge for Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong.
Although the Zhuhuang combination has a certain strength, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong were not afraid of their opponents, and finally won the gold medal with a perfect score of 2-0.
The Chinese team topped the gold medal list.
With Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong winning the mixed doubles gold medal, the number of gold medals of the Chinese team is also accumulating.
Up to now, the Chinese team has won 13 gold medals, of which badminton has contributed a lot, followed by United States with 9 gold medals.
The rankings of Britain and the United States in the gold medal table have not changed much, and in the early stage of the Olympic Games, United Kingdom and United States followed China in the gold medal table.
Until the 2023 World Championships, the United States team won 12 gold medals, successfully won gold, and became the first on the gold medal list.
The number of gold medals in Britain and the United States is 9, and the two countries in the gold medal list are really a little behind, I think the number of gold medals in the two countries is still on par with the Chinese team, I don't know what will happen to the number of gold medals in the United Kingdom and the United States in the next competition.
After the Chinese team won 8 gold medals, the subsequent competition also began to arouse heated discussions among the audience, asking why the gold medal of the Chinese team is gone, is it that the Chinese team has won the gold team?
Many netizens were full of doubts, but when the Chinese team's national table tennis and gymnastics teams went out, the total number of gold medals of the Chinese team began to climb again.
When the gymnastics team hit the gold medal, people are also full of expectations for the gold medal of the gymnastics team, in the gymnastics event, China also has a unique advantage, thinking that maybe the number of gold medals of the Chinese team will rise again soon, the gymnastics team won a total of four gold medals, the gold content of these four gold medals is quite high, in the final, the first to appear is Yang Wei of the women's parallel bars, and won the championship with an absolute advantage of 0.1 after two rounds.
This time, the gymnastics team competition was quite good, including the later vault and barbell events, the team members performed one by one, and after the performance, the judges gave quite high scores, and won the gold medals in vault and uneven bars one after another.
In the final finale, Xiao Quan's performance was quite good, and with Xiao Quan's performance, the number of gold medals of the Chinese team also rose to 13!
The future of badminton in China.
The victory of Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong also gave hope to China's badminton mixed doubles event, although both already have a high world ranking, Zheng Siwei is ranked first and Huang Yaqiong is second.
But they will continue to work hard, and after summing up the lessons of the Tokyo Olympics, China's badminton mixed doubles program has been improved, and although the mixed doubles gold medal has been won, there are now new problems in front of them.
Because Zheng Siwei has to take care of the doubles competition after that, Huang Yaqiong also has to play the doubles match, neither of them will play in the same time period, but if the doubles match is played together, the gold medal will definitely belong to the Chinese doubles combination.
In the future competition, Chinese badminton will face even greater challenges, after all, many athletes such as Li Xian are going to retire.
This also makes people worry about the future of Chinese badminton, after all, badminton has a lot of uncertainty, so Chinese badminton can only cultivate new strong athletes on the basis of the core players of the two teams.
In the future competition, Chinese badminton still insists on using its own skills to defeat opponents, improve itself with its own quality, and constantly improve the tactical awareness of new athletes.
epilogue
In the future badminton arena, the Chinese badminton team has infinite possibilities, let us look forward to their future, look forward to them on the field, and create better results.
