On the 13th day of the Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese team broke out and won 4 golds, once surpassing the United States, but the United States team continued to work hard in track and field, winning 3 golds, 3 silvers and 3 bronzes in 1 day, and 8 of the 9 medals came from track and field, which was really terrifying, and after the end of this competition day, the United States team overtook China again. However, there are still a lot of gold points for the Chinese team to win gold next, there are 2 in table tennis, 2 in weightlifting, as well as synchronized swimming, boxing, etc., so in the battle for the top of the gold medal list, the Chinese team has a better chance to get the top position. In fact, before the start of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team and the United States team basically booked the top 2 positions, but the United States team was more stretched in the first few days of the Olympics, only won 1 gold in the shooting event, and did not win the championship in 3x3 basketball, which was unexpected by everyone, and in the sprint stage of the battle for the top of the list, the United States team won fewer and fewer gold points, and the Chinese team recently had at least 3 gold medals every day.
The Chinese team is crazy to keep reaping gold medals, winning 4 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes in one day. In the men's 500m double rowing, Liu Hao/Ji Bowen crushed the championship with a time of 1:39.48, Italy won the silver medal in 1:41.08, and Spain won the bronze medal. The gold medal is significant, as the last time the Chinese team won the event was at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 16 years after that. After winning the gold, Liu Hao and Ji Bowen also clenched their fists and roared on the podium, releasing their emotions, and years of hard work finally paid off.
In the diving men's 3-meter board, Xie Sicheng successfully defended his title and reversed his teammate Wang Zongyuan, the veteran is still very steady, even if he is behind, he will not panic. Xie Sicheng's experience is amazing, he missed the Rio Olympics because of injury, and after winning the championship in the Tokyo Olympics, he took a break for 2 years, and he thought that the time for young athletes had come, but he didn't expect to win the championship in the Paris Olympics after his comeback, and he was really the king of the 3-meter board. Wang Zongyuan is only 22 years old this year, he has won two consecutive silver medals, and he also cried after the game, Wang Zongyuan firmly believes that in the next Olympic Games, he will definitely win the championship of the 3-meter springboard, which is also the motivation for him to continue to work hard. Mexico's Alvera won the bronze medal and is the only athlete other than China to score more than 500 points, and the strength is still there, but he can only win the third place.
In the women's 59kg weightlifting gold medal match, Luo Shifang won the gold medal with a total score of 241kg, and broke three Olympic records in the snatch, clean and jerk, and the total score, and Canada's Maude Sharloin won the silver medal. It is worth mentioning that Luo Shifang looked very relaxed in the competition, she also lay down and closed her eyes to rest, and slept with a blanket for a while, because everyone else came to compete for the second. Luo Shifang is only 23 years old this year, she is also a relatively young athlete in the weightlifting team, and her peak has just begun.
In the snatch competition, Shi Zhiyong's result was 165 kg, 10 kg ahead of the second place, but then all the jerks failed, and there was no result in the end, which also made Shi Zhiyong miss the medal, Indonesia won gold, Thailand won silver, Bulgaria won bronze. It is worth mentioning that this is the first medal lost by the Chinese weightlifting team in Paris, and it missed out on winning 6 golds. Shi Zhiyong is 31 years old this year, and as a veteran, he has done his best and deserves admiration. Shi Zhiyong won the silver medal in the men's 69kg weightlifting competition at the Rio 2016 Olympics and the gold medal in the men's 73kg competition at the Tokyo Olympics.
In the women's 54kg boxing final, Chinese player Chang Yuan defeated Akbas to win the gold, which was also the 29th gold medal of the Chinese team. Chang Yuan had the upper hand in the first, second and third rounds, and after the match, she was confident that she was the champion before the referees had finished scoring. Chang Yuan also made history by becoming the first female boxer from China to win a gold medal at the Olympics.
In other competitions, the Chinese team also won many medals. In men's speed climbing, Wu Peng won a silver medal, and it is indeed a pity to miss the gold medal in 0.02 seconds, of course, this is also the motivation for Wu Peng to continue to work hard and strive to win the gold medal back in the next Olympic Games. In the taekwondo men's 68kg bronze medal match, due to the withdrawal of United Kingdom players, Liang Yushuai of the Chinese team won the bronze medal without a fight. In the wrestling women's freestyle 53kg bronze medal match, China's Pang Qianyu defeated Mongolia to win a bronze medal.
After all the matches on this match day, the gold medal table was also updated, and the United States team once again overtook China in first place. At present, the United States team has won 30 gold, 38 silver and 35 bronze medals, and won 103 medals in 13 days, while at the Tokyo Olympics, the United States team won 113 medals, and the Olympics are still three days away, and the United States team has a good chance of surpassing the previous Olympics. The Chinese team ranked second with 29 gold, 25 silver and 19 bronze medals, and also won 73 medals, second only to the United States team in both gold and medal total. Australia ranked second with 18 golds, hosts France ranked fourth with 14 golds, United Kingdom ranked fifth with 13 golds, and Korea and Japan also won 13 golds.
However, the United States team also lost gold on this match day. In the men's 200m final of athletics, the United States team played three insurances, and Lyles joined forces with Bednarek and Knighton, but finally lost to Botswana's Tebogo, which was also the biggest upset in the Paris Olympics track and field so far. Tebogo won gold in 19.46 seconds, Bednarek won silver in 19.62 seconds and Lyles won bronze in 19.70 seconds. Originally, after Lyles won the gold medal in the 100m, everyone thought that he would continue to shine in the 200m, but he only won the third place. The next three match days will also be a decisive battle for the gold medal table for the Chinese team and the United States team, although the Chinese team is behind 1 gold medal, but it has more gold points and is expected to win the top position.
