The Tokyo Olympic Qualification Tournament ended on June 29, and the Chinese delegation won 317 Olympic seats in 30 major events and 223 minor events. In the confirmed chinese delegation's big list, Guangxi has four athletes from three sports, namely wrestlers Liu Minghu and Lin Zushen, track and field athlete Wei Yongli, and Niu Guannan of the women's water polo team. In addition, four Guangxi athletes were on the bench, namely gymnasts Lan Xingyu, Huang Mingqi and Wei Xiaoyuan, and female water polo player Xie Yuting.
Among the Guangxi athletes who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, the wrestling double stars Liu Minghu and Lin Zushen, who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, attracted special attention, and they will jointly impact the good rankings and join hands with the brothers of the disciples to participate in the Olympic Games, which is a major breakthrough since the establishment of the Guangxi wrestling team.
Liu Minghu
Originally from Beihai, Liu Minghu, 22, was selected for the Guangxi wrestling team in 2011 and won the gold medal in the 57 kg category of the National Men's Freestyle Wrestling Championship in April 2016, when the Guangxi men's freestyle wrestling team regained the national championship after a gap of nine years. In 2017, Liu Minghu was selected for the national team, and in 2019 he finished second in the men's freestyle wrestling 61 kg category at the Asian Wrestling Championships. At the Asian Qualifying Tournament for the Tokyo Olympics in Wrestling, Almaty, Kazakhstan, Liu Minghu won the first ticket for Guangxi athletes in the individual event at the Tokyo Olympics.
Lin Zushen
Another Guangxi player, Baise Lin Zushen, was selected for the Guangxi wrestling team in 2007 and successfully entered the national wrestling team in 2014, also in the qualification tournament in Almaty, Lin Zushen won the men's freestyle wrestling 86 kg Tokyo Olympic Games ticket after fierce competition.
In terms of athletics, Wei Yongli, a Liuzhou girl who has won many international and domestic athletics championships, will go to Tokyo. For Ms. Wei, 30, the Tokyo Olympics will most likely be her last appearance, and this year she will compete in the women's 100m and 4×100m relays. On the 100-meter track, it is very difficult for Asian athletes to impact the final, so Wei Yongli will also focus on the team relay, and the Chinese women's team is expected to reach the Olympic final again after the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games through close handover.
Wei Yongli
Niu Guannan, a 29-year-old Guangxi water polo girl, is already playing in the Olympic Games for the second time. Recently, the Chinese women's water polo team has been training in many places, including Guangxi, and strives to compete in the Tokyo Olympic Games in the best condition. They will be in the same group as the United States, Russia, Hungary, Japan, as long as they play normally, they still have a chance to get a good ranking.
