In the tokyo Olympics badminton men's singles final, Chen Long lost to Arcelor and won the silver medal. After the game, Chen Long connected with his family in an interview, and connected his wife Wang Shixian. Chen Long said that he had agreed with Wang Shixian that he would have a second child after winning the gold medal in this Olympic Games; but now he only won the silver medal, and it depended on whether Wang Shixian was matched or not.
Chen Long and Wang Shixian are both members of the national badminton team, and their love affair was well known by fans after the 2016 Rio Olympics. In fact, during the 2014 All England Championship, the relationship between the two was broken by foreign media. In the reuters report at the time, it began to refer to Wang Shixian as Chen Long's girlfriend. After the two advanced to the final four, Reuters wrote in the report: "After advancing to the semi-finals of the All England Championship on Friday, the defending champion of the Chinese men's singles and his girlfriend Wang Shixian are moving towards the happy ending of their relationship. ”
And as early as 2013, in a group photo of Guoyu widely circulated on the Internet, Xu Chen, Pan Pan, Chen Long and Wang Shixian performed very closely, in addition to Xu Chen and Pan Pan, the open couple, many balls speculated about the love affair between Wang Shixian and Chen Long; and at the China Open Badminton Championships at the end of 2013, the love affair between the two was also ridiculed by fans and game anchor Gong Weijie. After the 2017 Hong Kong Masters, Chen Long proposed to Wang Shixian, who had just retired, ending a long-term love run and officially marrying a couple.
In 2019, Chen Long and Wang Shixian's baby was born, and Chen Long completed the transformation of off-field roles. On the field, Chen Long, under the guidance of the famous coach Li Mao, began to storm the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
Although Chen Long, as a veteran, was not optimistic about everyone before the game, in the end, Chen Long relied on his own strength and rich experience to defeat the strong enemy all the way to the final, and finally lost 0-2 to Arcelor and won a silver medal.
After the game, a photo on the Internet showed that the blood blisters on Chen Long's feet had seriously affected his running on the field, and from the group stage, Chen Long insisted on playing all the way to the final, which was not easy. Wang Shixian also said that before the game, Chen Long's training was hard, and she was very distressed in every game of the game.
