Wu Jingyu, an iconic figure in Chinese taekwondo, once again regretted to stop in the top 8 of the Olympic Games. In the Quarterfinals of the Women's 49 kg at the Tokyo Olympic Games on the afternoon of the 24th, Wu Jingyu lost to Spain's Spanish Serezzo with a score gap, and once again failed to impact his third Olympic gold medal after the Rio Olympic Games.
Two-time Olympic champion Wu Jingyu retired after the Rio Olympics. At the end of 2017, for the unfulfilled dream in her heart, she returned to the training hall again, and returned to the international arena in early 2019, winning olympic qualification that year, becoming the first female athlete in the history of taekwondo to participate in the Olympic Games for four consecutive times.
In the first round of the match on the 24th, she eliminated Dina Pueryounes of the refugee delegation with a huge margin of 24-3 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarter-finals, facing Spain's Serrezzo, who is ranked 23rd in the world, Wu Jingyu, who is ranked sixth in the world, was hit in the head twice in the first set, falling behind 0-9. In the second set, Wu Jingyu's state was still sluggish, repeatedly scoring by his opponents, and he only relied on his boxing opponent's body to complete an effective blow, and was twice blown to deduct points.
In the end, Wu Jingyu fell behind 2-33 after two sets, and the referee terminated the match and judged the opponent to win by a score gap.
On the evening of the 24th, Wu Jingyu will also participate in the resurrection competition, and if he wins, he can also qualify for the bronze medal.
