The women's 20km race walk is the fist sport of the Chinese athletics team to rush gold, which is actually more stable than Gong Lijiao's women's shot put, because we have three athletes with gold rushing strength, Yang Jiayu, the world's number one, Liu Hong, the defending Olympic champion, and Chelsea, the London Olympic runner-up, especially Yang Jiayu is the world record holder, and this high-looking race walking goddess was pinned on high hopes before the race.
However, when the top favourite Yang Jiayu was punished for a foul in the final sprint stage, he only finished 12th, veteran Liu Hong won the bronze medal, and Qieyang Shijie was seventh. The overall tactics of the Chinese team need to be criticized, too stable, did not go out of the tactics, and wasted the advantages of the group. In other words, the three Chinese players are fighting for each other, all wanting to win the gold medal, not like an overall team full of sacrifice spirit.
Yang Jiayu, 25 years old, 1 meter 63 tall and weighing 48 kilograms, is a recognized race walking genius, and won the 2017 World Championships, laying the foundation for her status. This year's World Record in the Huangshan China Race Walking Championships set a new world record with a time of 1 hour, 23 minutes and 49 seconds, which shows that her form is well mobilized, she is the number one gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics, and foreign bookmakers are also the most optimistic about her before the game.
However, Chinese race walker Wang Liping predicted before the game: "Yang Jiayu is a very good player, I am just worried about her skills, easy to be punished for fouls." The progress of the game is the same as what Wang Liping said, although Yang Jiayu showed a royal demeanor at the beginning and was always in the first group, but he was obviously impatient, and even made a low-level mistake of stepping on the shoes of teammate Liu Hong.
After the game, the Italian players took the lead in rushing out, Yang Jiayu chased after the second place, at this time Yang Jiayu had a problem in his mentality, the more anxious the more technical loopholes appeared, the result was that the third time to eat the card was punished for two minutes, not to mention the impact of the gold medal, even the silver medal in hand also flew, and finally only won the 12th place.
Unlike domestic track and field athletes who generally do not pay attention to dressing, their appearance and figure are generally different, Yang Jiayu has a great advantage in image, and his personality is good, lively and cute. If the Olympic Games win the championship, it will create the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the World Record Grand Slam, thus becoming the iconic figure of Chinese athletics, international influence and commercial value will rise, perhaps because of this, Yang Jiayu thought a little too much, italy players led, chaotic square inches.
The Chinese race walking team has three of the world's top players, and we shouldn't stick to the rules, because then, the Italian players rush out on the back road, and we will be passive. The Chinese team should be led by a player from the beginning, destroying the rhythm of competitors, watching whether the opponent follows or not, and is caught in a dilemma. However, we did not have any tactical changes, the three players did not tacitly help each other, on the contrary, and even staged a scene of stepping on the shoes of their teammates, which should be summed up well when they go back.
