On the 18th, the Chinese sports delegation for the Rio Olympic Games was established in Beijing, and the list consisted of 711 members, which was the largest participation in the overseas Olympic Games.
Of the 416 athletes, 302 were participating in the Olympic Games for the first time, accounting for 73% of the total number of athletes. Among them, there are popular stars like Ning Zetao, as well as "post-00s" young generals born in the new century. At the same time, however, there are still some famous players who eventually missed Rio, which is regrettable.
Since the Beijing Olympic Games, the audience has become accustomed to seeing Jiao Liuyang and Liu Zige double insurance, defending the gold medal in the 200-meter butterfly for the Chinese team in the world-class arena. However, unfortunately, this story of "double sisters fighting for hegemony" has not been able to usher in a new chapter in Rio.

In fact, as early as april after the National Swimming Championships, Liu Zige has basically determined that he will not be eligible for the Rio Olympics. Among the 100 butterflies, Liu Zige failed to reach the Olympic A standard. Although 200 butterflies crossed the line, according to the rule that only two A-list players can be sent to each individual event, she has actually missed her third Olympic Games. Jiao Liuyang was plagued by stomach problems, and after winning the gold medal at the Incheon Asian Games, his physical condition has not been able to adjust back to the best, and last year's World Championships were missed because of this.
In the careers of Jiao Liuyang and Liu Zige, they have won two Olympic championships and three world championships, allowing the Chinese team to maintain the lead in the 200 butterfly event. This time, the two did not have a chance in Rio, which also means the end of the "double sister" era.
Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei Wins Gold Sheng Jiapeng Photo
Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei were once synonymous with The Chinese Women's Badminton, and they won the championship together in London four years ago. In this round of olympic cycle, Although Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei's record has ups and downs, she still won the ticket to the Rio Olympic Games. In the end, however, the younger Luo Ying/Luo Yu sisters were selected to play in Rio.
After not having the opportunity to defend the women's doubles, Zhao Yunlei still had the opportunity to defend the mixed doubles championship with Zhang Nan, while Tian Qing regretted missing the Rio Olympics. She said through social networking sites, "It is indeed not easy to insist on four years, but badminton is an important part of my life, has brought me a lot of honor and glory, no regrets, no regrets, no regrets, but also please support the Chinese badminton team in the most difficult time, I hope my teammates have a good performance in Rio." ”
Tian Qing's teammate Wang Shixian was also not selected for the Olympic squad. In the competition of women's singles, Li Xuerui and Wang Yihan eventually won tickets to Rio. After missing London, this time Wang Shixian left regrets, she also wrote on social networking sites, "I regretted missing the Olympic Games in 12 years, and I did not participate in 16 years." It is false to say that it is not sad, after all, all athletes have an Olympic dream in their hearts, not to mention that even if the champion participates in it, it is an affirmation of their career. ”
However, Wang Shixian also said that after hard work and dedication, this result is acceptable to her. Wang Shixian also ended with "unfinished to be continued", which seemed to indicate that she did not intend to leave the arena at this point.

Although the Chinese women's volleyball team did not announce the final 12-man list before, because Zeng Chunlei's name did not appear in the list of the Chinese delegation, it means that she will miss the Rio Olympics.
In today's women's volleyball team, Zeng Chunlei is one of the few players in the team with Olympic experience. However, in the competition for the second pass position, she failed to withstand the impact of her juniors. Gong Xiangyu, a 19-year-old young player in Jiangsu who has performed well some time ago, was selected, yang Fangxu, who has always been stable, was also listed, while Zeng Chunlei regretted not being selected. Except for Zeng Chunlei, Shen Jingsi also failed to catch the last train to Rio, and the old captains Wei Qiuyue and Ding Xia won the competition for the second pass.
Lee Kim Chol surprised the audience in the two years after the London Olympics and won the silver medal at the 2014 Indoor Athletics World Championships. To this day, in the hearts of many people, he is still the flag figure of the Chinese man's long jump. However, in the past year or so, the three young players of Happy Dragon, Huang Changzhou and Wang Jianan have collectively erupted and have withstood the test of the competition, and finally the last three have the opportunity to go to Rio.
The name of the weightlifter Liao Hui also did not appear in the list released on the 18th, which means that the former Olympic champion will also miss Rio. Liao Hui then announced his retirement through social networks, ending his 19-year weightlifting career. In the men's 69 kg class, Shi Zhiyong, who will play in Rio this time, also has the strength to win gold.
"Hardware King" Zou Kai, reporter Liao Pan
As early as the end of the Olympic trials in May, the "hardware king" Zou Kai has decided not to be in Rio.
In the past Olympic cycle, Zou Kai was plagued by injuries and his results were not as outstanding as before. Although he passed the selection competition, Zou Kai's performance was not outstanding, and he could only participate in the Rio Olympics as the third substitute. It is reported that Zou Kai, after consulting with the coach, hoped to leave more opportunities to his brothers and disciples, so he made the decision to end.
After the gymnastics men's team folded in Athens, it was Zou Kai and Chen Yibing, a group of athletes who used their own efforts to make the team return to the top of the world. Among them, Zou Kai won the hardware in the Beijing and London Olympic Games, and deservedly became one of the leaders of Chinese gymnastics. Although this time will not appear in the arena, Zou Kai has said that he will watch the game live and cheer for the Chinese team.
In addition to Zou Kai, Yao Jinnan, another world champion in the gymnastics team, also missed Rio. In 2014, she won the World Championships on uneven bars and won four golds at the Incheon Asian Games. In February last year, Yao Jinnan went to the United States to undergo shoulder surgery and missed the World Championships.
In the previous period of time, Yao Jinnan had been racing against time, but unfortunately failed to achieve his wish in the end. But Yao Jinnan is just 21 years old this year, and four years later in the Tokyo Olympics, she still has a chance to realize her dream.
