In the just-concluded Paris Olympics table tennis women's singles final, Chinese player Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha 4:2 to win the gold medal. This is the second gold medal won by the Chinese table tennis team in the Olympic arena.
Compared with the young Sun Yingsha, the 30-year-old Chen Meng is really not easy to go through the Paris cycle. Physical injuries, ups and downs and doubts from the outside world once affected her to win the Olympic singles quota, but Chen Meng overcame it. Not only did she make it to the Paris Olympics, but she also made it to the final of the Olympics with a big win in every round.
In tonight's final, Chen Meng won the Olympic championship again after the Tokyo Olympics, becoming the fourth person to win the two-time Olympic table tennis singles championship after Deng Yaping, Zhang Yining, and Ma Long.
Throughout the Paris Olympic cycle, post-00 Sun Yingsha won 14 world singles championships. In this Olympic table tennis competition, Sun Yingsha is a mixed doubles, women's singles, and women's team, and her performance so far can be said to be impeccable. first won the mixed doubles gold medal with Wang Chuqin, and then entered the final with a super record of not losing a game in the individual competition.
In the final, the two fell into a bitter battle, and Sun Yingsha finally regretted winning the silver.
The two athletes successfully met in the final, and we saw two more flags raised in the sky over Paris.
There has never been an easy victory, and the Chinese table tennis team has always carried a heavy mission and continued to write a legend with hard work. I hope that in the next table tennis women's team competition, they can also complete their goals and leave no regrets.
In the badminton mixed doubles competition that ended on the evening of August 2, Beijing time, Huang Yaqiong & Zheng Siwei defeated the Korea pair with a score of 2:0 to win the first gold medal of the badminton team at this Olympic Games and the first Olympic gold medal for the pair.
This is the second Olympic Games for the IELTS duo and their seventh year together. Since winning their first World Championships title in 2018, they have been the absolute kings of the mixed doubles competition. Unfortunately, he lost to his teammates at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago and won silver.
Before the Paris Olympics, the "IELTS Pair" had already won all the gold medals except the Olympic events, so this time it can be said that their dream journey has come true. From the first game until the final, they did not lose a single game and stood on the top podium with an absolute victory. And this gold medal also completed the last piece of the championship puzzle in the careers of Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei, and achieved the mixed doubles Grand Slam!
Huang Yaqiong not only won a gold medal last night, but also a diamond. Her boyfriend, Liu Yuchen, a national badminton men's doubles player, proposed to her at the award ceremony. She said: "At the same time as winning the championship, another stage of my life has also taken a step forward, and this summer can not be more complete, and now I am so happy that I am a little out of words." ”
The vow under the spotlight is touching, and may their happiness be like this "one gold and one diamond" for a long time.
Tonight, the Chinese badminton team women's doubles "Fan Chen" and "Holy Altar" met at the top to compete for gold and silver medals. And the competition of other national feathers is also going on, I hope they can work hard and get more glory!
In the mixed doubles final of the Paris Olympics tennis in the early morning of August 3, Beijing time, Chinese tennis once again refreshed history, and the combination of Zhang Zhizhen & Wang Xinyu defeated the Czech Makhac & Siniakova combination 1-2 and won the silver medal. This is the first time that a Chinese player has won a medal in the mixed doubles event of tennis at the Olympic Games, and it is also the third Olympic medal in the history of Chinese tennis!
At the start of the Paris Olympics, Zhang Zhizhen and Zheng Qinwen partnered in the mixed doubles competition. But Zheng Qinwen also has to juggle the women's singles competition, and the excessive consumption makes her have to give up the mixed doubles competition.
The sudden change put Zhang's Olympic mixed doubles journey in jeopardy. But there is no end to it, because the Olympics stipulate that mixed doubles can temporarily change partners, Zhang Zhizhen contacted Wang Xinyu, who is undergoing treatment in Paris, hoping to play the mixed doubles match together. At this time, Wang Xinyu didn't even have clay shoes, so she could only wear a pair of hard shoes to stand on the clay court and play the first match.
Prior to this, Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu had never worked together in a mixed doubles format in any official competition. But it was such a temporary pair who continued to make breakthroughs in the mixed doubles arena with their respective experience and strength, and entered the final by mistake.
In the tennis mixed doubles quarterfinals, Zhang Zhizhen & Wang Xinyu defeated the mixed doubles No. 2 seed, Australia's Perez & Ibden combination; In the tennis mixed doubles semifinals, they defeated the Netherlands Kurhoff & Scholes 2:1 to advance to the final; In the final, after dropping a set first, they fought hard to catch up, and in the deciding set, they finally lost 8-10 and won the silver medal.
In addition to strength, their success also lies in the "relaxation" in the cooperation between the two. During the four days of Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu's team competition, no matter whether they played well or badly, they always smiled and encouraged each other, and truly enjoyed the fun brought by competitive sports.
God favors those who love to laugh, and they have also created a new history of Chinese tennis.
In the men's 200m individual medley competition in the early hours of this morning, Wang Shun completed his journey to the Paris Olympics and won a bronze medal. He said: "The road is long and the road is long, and the line is coming; The future is promising. ”
In 2012, Wang Shun participated in the London Olympics for the first time; In 2016, Wang Shun won the bronze medal in the men's 200m individual medley at the Rio Olympics; At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Wang Shun broke the Asian record and won the gold medal; At the 2024 Paris Olympics, as the oldest Olympian on the Chinese swimming team, Wang Shun won a bronze medal.
Four Olympic battles, three podiums, Wang Shun left his own legend.
Speaking after the race, he said: "I did my best, although the result was not particularly good, but my body told me that I did everything I could today. ”
Do your best, and there will be no regrets. If possible, we look forward to seeing him again in Los Angeles in 2028.
The men's trampoline event of the Paris Olympics was held in the early morning of August 3, Beijing time, and Chinese players Wang Zisai and Yan Langyu won the silver and bronze medals respectively.
Wang Zi, who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, perfectly demonstrated the extremely high altitude and quality of the movements, and won the silver medal with a score of 61.890. He said: "I participated in the Olympics for the first time and I didn't expect much from myself, so this result can be regarded as a release of the difficulties in preparing for the previous competition. ”
He is only 18 years old, and he lets everyone see the future of the Chinese trampoline team, which is promising.
In trampoline competitions, there is both spectacle and excitement, and failure can occur in every moment.
As the leader of the Chinese trampoline men's team in the Paris Olympic cycle, Yan Langyu, who won the World Championships twice in three years, left a little regret. He said in an interview after the match: "Maybe I put a lot of pressure on myself in the final, which led to a not so good performance in the final, but it was normal. And after the game, I want to eat the most. ”
Although there are some small regrets, Yan Langyu also added a bronze medal to the Chinese team, and looks forward to his future achievements and reach a higher level.
The most moving moment of the whole race was when Ivan, a neutral competitor from Belarus, invited two Chinese competitors to stand on the championship podium together, and then the three embraced.
This is the charm of the Olympic Games: not only fierce competition, but also cross-ethnic and regional exchanges, as well as understanding, friendship and respect.
In the Olympic Games, no matter who you are, where you come from, or what age you are, as long as you always have a heart willing to work hard and never give up in a desperate situation, no matter what the result is, you are the winner.
As Malone said: "Don't ask the end, go all out." "I hope that in the next competitions, every athlete can withstand the pressure, explode and achieve good results.
