The Tokyo Olympics will open on July 23, and after a long wait, the footsteps of this year-postponed sports event are getting closer and closer, and delegations from all over the world have recently announced the list and are ready to go. The Chinese delegation that we are most concerned about is no exception, and recently announced a list of athletes composed of 431 athletes.
Representing the country to compete for honor in the Olympic Games is a great honor for athletes, but also the goal of struggle, no matter what the project, the position of the national team is limited, and modern sports is essentially a competitive game under the strong and the weak, and at the same time will participate in a little bit of human sophistication and even power wrestling, every Olympic Games will always have some representative athletes who have no chance to enter the big list.
In this article, the author will sort out a little according to the type, and select the top ten Chinese athletes who did not qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games for your reference. Due to space limitations, if there is a place to discuss or a choice of lost pearls, you are naturally welcome to leave a message in the comment area to add and share your opinions. Of course, if you think this article is OK or did not waste your precious reading time, a praise and encouragement is no harm, and I thank you in advance.
10. Chen Guanfeng (Athletics)
Chen Guanfeng, the 21-year-old Guangdong teenager at the time, is the most promising newcomer to Chinese sprint track and field, and in terms of this season's results, Chen Guanfeng ran a time of 10.06 seconds in 100 meters, second only to his brother Su Bingtian. According to the previous selection, Chen Guanfeng can properly appear in single and relay events.
However, at present, the Chinese track and field team has followed the example of the national table tennis or the American track and field team, and used the direct selection competition to select the members of the national team. In the selection tournament held in June, Chen Guanfeng easily reached the final, but withdrew before the final. It is reported that Chen Guanfeng felt that his body had a feeling of injury at that time, and he had to withdraw from the competition for the sake of insurance, and had no choice but to give up his Olympic qualifications.
In the end, Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and Wu Zhiqiang qualified for the Olympic Games to participate in the 100-meter individual event, and Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang, Yan Haibin, Tang Xingqiang and Sui Gaofei formed a relay team.
After a little recuperation, Chen Guanfeng ran a staggering 10.06 seconds in the next championship, defeating Su Bingtian, Wu Zhiqiang and other national team players. The rules are the rules, Chen Guanfeng's defeat is not a big problem, it can only be said that Providence made people, this year's national 100 meters second fastest super newcomer, but even a relay position is not lucky. I hope that Chen Guanfeng can continue to take care of his body and continue to work hard to improve, and strive to appear in the Paris Olympic Games.
9. Zhang Shuai (Tennis)
Sports fans who pay attention to tennis should not be unfamiliar with the name of women's singles star Zhang Shuai. As a women's singles player, zhang Shuai, 32, is ranked 50th in the world, with the highest ranking in the world ranking of 23rd, and his best record in a Grand Slam event is two quarter-finals.
In the past two Olympic Games, Zhang Shuai has participated in the competition as a member of the Chinese women's tennis team. The back wave of the Yangtze River pushed the front wave, came to this Olympic Games, Wang Qiang and Zheng Saisai competed in the women's singles event, the women's doubles combination was: Zheng Saisai & Duan Yingying, Xu Yipan & Yang Zhaoxuan, and the veteran Zhang Shuai did not have the opportunity to play in the Olympic Games three times.
VIII. Ye Shiwen (Swimming)
With wide hands and feet, strong coordination of movements and good explosiveness, Ye Shiwen was once a newcomer to the swimming world with unparalleled performance, and was widely expected to dominate the medley sport for ten years in the future.
At the age of 16, Ye Shiwen won gold medals in the 200m and 400m medleys at the 2012 London Olympics. At the end of the same year, Ye Shiwen became the first full-time athlete on the Chinese swimming team to combine Olympic Games, World Championships, Short Course World Championships and Asian Games champions. Unfortunately, after 2012, Ye Shiwen began to show decline and lack of development momentum.
After a long period of adjustment and change training, waiting for the 2019 World Championships, Ye Shiwen won the silver medal in the 200m >400m medley, and regained the shadow of the past hegemon of the project. Unfortunately, Ye Shiwen's state after that went back, in the selection and re-entry competitions, the results were not good, and he missed the Tokyo Olympics. Pinch your fingers, in fact, the former genius Ye Shiwen is only 26 years old, should still be in the year of the fight, a little hurt Zhongyong feeling.
VII. Zhong Qixin (Rock Climbing)
In Zhong Qixin, the author felt a kind of sadness that did not give time. On this point, let's start with the sport of rock climbing.
Because outdoor rock climbing is too dangerous and the risk is unpredictable, so climbing enthusiasts have developed indoor sports climbing projects, that is, artificial stone walls, so that they can retain the charm of climbing to the greatest extent and facilitate promotion, the audience for rock climbing is also increasing, and the world events of rock climbing have developed well, and finally have been affirmed by the Olympic Committee, and began to become a new project in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
In the sport of rock climbing, it can be divided into three items: speed climbing, bouldering climbing, and difficult climbing. In the sub-event of speed climbing, the 32-year-old Zhong Qixin is a recognized king player in the field, personally breaking the world record many times, and there is no shortage of champions in all major events.
However, rock climbing is also a very explosive sport, Zhong Qixin's peak years are about 2010 to 2016, as he grows older, Zhong Qixin's dominance begins to decline, but still maintains a world-class standard. By the time rock climbing became an Olympic sport, he was a little old.
In addition, although rock climbing has become an Olympic sport, there is only one gold medal for men and women, and the competition has become a three-in-one mixed race of speed climbing, bouldering climbing and difficult climbing. Zhong Qixin, who specializes in speed climbing, only began to practice bouldering and difficult climbing after learning the news. The combination of the two factors has led to the failure of China's most famous and representative climbing master to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, which is a pity.
6. Deng Wei (Weightlifting)
Back in November 2015, Deng Wei set an astonishing record in the 63 kg event of the World Championships, with a snatch of 113 kg, a deadlift of 146 kg, and a total of 259 kg, breaking three world records in one go.
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Deng Wei won the gold medal in the women's 63 kg category with 262 kg (115 kg in the snatch and 147 kg in the deadlift), breaking her overall record and the world record in the deadlift, and crowning the king with an absolute advantage. At the 2019 World Championships, Deng Wei continued to win the championship easily.
It can be said that Deng Wei has a very obvious dominance in this project and is a hot candidate for the gold medal. However, a back injury became an obstacle for Deng Wei to travel to the Tokyo Olympics, and she eventually missed the opportunity to move to Tokyo.
5. Tang Jiali (Women's Football)
After the Announcement of the Olympic Women's Football Team, Tang Jiali, a midfielder who made great contributions in the process of fighting for Olympic tickets, was not selected, which immediately triggered netizens to question the strategy of the use of women's football coach Jia Xiuquan. Prior to this, on the use of Wang Shuang, Jia Xiuquan's guidance was not less questioned.
However, after the spread of public opinion, the women's football team doctor also released news, revealing that Tang Jiali was strained due to ligaments, and her physical condition was difficult to continue to play in the competition, and Jia Xiuquan came down from the cusp of the storm. Once every four years in the Olympic Games, injuries can only be athletes very unlucky before the competition, I hope that Tang Jiali will recover soon.
4. Sun Yang (swimming)
After more than two years of tossing and appealing, Sun Yang's original "anti-inspection storm" finally came to an end last month, Sun Yang won a four-year and three-month ban from eight years, and it was necessary to wait until the end of May 2024 to lift the ban, and the legend of the Tokyo Olympic Games was completely in vain.
In terms of achievements and the influence of the project, Sun Yang, who has three Olympic golds, eleven world championships in hand, and the historical status of the swimming world in the field of achievement, is undoubtedly the most prominent chinese athlete who did not qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games, and naturally should enter the list. However, because of various operations, Sun Yang's popularity or popularity is far from being comparable to before the storm, and even a considerable number of Chinese sports fans will not feel sorry that he did not qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
3. Zheng Yi (3X3 Basketball)
Hu Jinqiu, Li Haonan, Yan Peng, Gao Shiyan as the main force, Chen Peidong and Liu Hengyi as substitutes, after the Basketball Association previously announced the three-person basketball men's country that will eventually go to the Tokyo Olympic Games, the choice of the list will cause an uproar in the basketball topic area or forum, because Zheng Yi, the captain who has been working in this field for a long time, has been selected for the best team in the Asian Cup, has been in the forefront of the world for 3X3 points for many years, and has performed well in the qualifiers.
Grassroots hard work, professional cooling? After the announcement of the list, many fans on the Internet were upset with Zheng Yi. Frankly speaking, such a statement is actually not enough to respect Zheng Yi. Because in the 3X3 project, Zheng Yi is a professional player who has been trained for a long time and has justified his own performance, and the people who have parachuted in are newcomer athletes who have just entered this field
In the sports world, the big list substitution before the main game or the final circle is not a new thing, but the three-person basketball is more special, it has commonalities with the whole basketball, there are different places, not every CBA player has the ability to directly transition in a short period of time, Hu Jinqiu's 3V3 performance makes everyone very convinced, and Gao Shiyan's data performance after joining the team is also relatively unconvincing, which is no wonder everyone will be upset for Zheng Yiming. For the author, the way to affirm Zheng Yi's contribution and speak for him may be to send him to the TOP3 position of the list.
2. Ding Ning (Table Tennis)
Once upon a time, Ding Ning was the representative of Chinese women's table tennis, and the cumulative time of singles ranking first in the world is not short, and its iconic left-handed horizontal arc combined with the signature technique of fast attack and squat serve is still impressive to many table tennis fans.
In terms of age, as the singles gold medalist of the last Rio Olympics, Ding Ning is over thirty years old, and the peak period should be over, and there are many injuries accumulated on his body. In addition, China's table tennis talents are abundant, and Ding Ning has no choice but to win a seat to continue the competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games. However, this does not hinder Ding Ning's long-established strong image in table tennis fans, and Ding Ning should soon invest in a new identity outside of professional athletes.
1. Lin Dan (badminton)
Lin Dan, a double-lap Grand Slam, is a recognized GOAT player in the men's singles field of badminton, and his shifting assault style of play can be said to have promoted a new trend of badminton.
There is no eternal king, no eternal victorious general, is the truth of sports. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Lin Dan lost to Li Zongwei in the semi-finals and then lost to Anselon in the bronze medal match. After 2016, Lin Dan's combat effectiveness began to decline, which is an indisputable fact, but as a legend, he actually did not need to prove his ability.
For the fans, everyone expects that Super Dan can play a little longer. Under Lin Dan's career planning, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics should have been the last stop in his career journey. To this end, Lin Dan has been training until 2020 and strives to maintain his form.
However, due to the epidemic, the Tokyo Olympics had to be postponed until this month. When he learned last year that the Tokyo Olympic Games were about to be postponed, Lin Dan also officially announced his retirement and ended his 20-year legendary career in the badminton world. Lin Dan's failure to complete the closing performance at the Tokyo Olympics has indeed made countless sports fans feel sorry.
