Is there really a spell of "Olympic standard-bearers can't win the championship"? On the afternoon of the 25th, in the semi-final of the men's taekwondo 68 kg class at the Tokyo Olympic Games, China's Zhao Shuai was reversed by The British Bradley under the excellent situation of leading the way, and missed the final. Shortly thereafter, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost 0-3 to the Turkish team in the first game of the Olympic Games. Zhao Shuai and Zhu Ting, the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team, are the standard-bearers of the Chinese delegation to the Olympic Games, and Zhao Shuai has no chance of winning the gold medal, I wonder how Zhu Ting will feel?
Zhao Shuai is the men's 58 kg taekwondo champion at the Rio Olympics, making history for men's taekwondo in China. From the 58 kg class of the Rio Olympic Games to the 63 kg class of the 2017 World Championships, and now to the 68 kg class, this is a big challenge for Zhao Shuai.
For professional athletes, each level of promotion means that the points have to start from scratch, and it is also a new challenge to the way of playing - in the 58 kg class, Zhao Shuai's physical advantage is outstanding, and after upgrading to the 68 kg class, his height and strength are not dominant.
"I want to upgrade, I have been hesitating whether I can do it, because 68 (kg) and 58 (kg), it feels completely different, 68 (kg) is a comprehensive ability, especially the confrontation ability is particularly strong." Zhao Shuai said, "Before, I first flew my opponent, and now people will kick me out, people have great strength, speed, and continuity is stronger than you, so they will not be confident." ”
After hard training and competition attempts, Zhao Shuai gradually built up confidence and had the strength to rush gold. In today's semi-finals, Zhao Shuai's opponent is The British star Bradley. Zhao Shuai, who was steady and steady, once led by a large score, but in the last minute, the opponent launched a crazy attack and completed the reversal.
Competitive sports are brutal. Especially in the Olympic Games, there is no general who always wins, and there is no absolute difference between strength and weakness. The opponent of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the first round is not a weak team, especially the Turkish team coach Gudetti's research on the Chinese women's volleyball team is also more thorough.
Zhu Ting played for the women's volleyball team of the Local Super League giants Wakif Bank, and Gudeti is the head coach of the club. In a master-apprentice game, Goodetti also spent efforts on the way to Zhu Ting becoming a world-class main attacker, and the former single-handedly brought out the "00" post-nova of the Turkish women's volleyball team and the 1.96-meter-tall trump card to meet Kara Kurt.
Judging from the course of the game, it is clear that the Turkish women's volleyball team has entered the state faster. Karakurt was full of firepower on the offensive end, and the Chinese women's volleyball team had no power to fight back. The problem of the slow heat of the Chinese women's volleyball team makes fans anxious. After the first defeat at the Rio Olympics five years ago, the passive situation caused by repeated defeats has made fans sweat when they think about it.
So far, in addition to the Chinese women's volleyball team ranking second in the world and the Turkish women's volleyball team ranking fourth in the world, the rest of the opponents' world rankings are: the United States women's volleyball team is the first, the Russian women's volleyball team is seventh, the Italian women's volleyball team is ninth, and the Argentine women's volleyball team is sixteenth. It can be said that the B group is full of strong teams and is a veritable "death group". Every game in the group stage is a bitter battle, and if the slow heat remains, the consequences will be catastrophic.
After the game, Lang Ping, head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, revealed that Zhu Ting's injury was still quite serious, and her wrist was not strong. As for the next game, Lang Ping said: "Let's try to make up for it!" ”
