Today, the 14th National Games ushered in the first final day of the rowing competition. Guangdong's Li Chong, Wang Linqing, Ni Xulin and Nie Yide (including Li Chong and Wang Linqing from Guangzhou) won the gold medal in the men's quadruple sculls with a time of 5:53.07; Guo Xueying, Zhou Yuxiu, Shen Shuangmei and Liang Guoru won the bronze medal in the women's quadruple sculls with a time of 6:27.03; Wang Jia, Wang Zilong, Liu Baishun and Mu Xiaolong won the bronze medal in the men's quadruple sculls in 5:49.99.
0.05 seconds advantage to win gold
There were only four final events in the rowing today, and the Guangdong team won three of them, and there was a fourth place, showing great strength. Especially in the case of the Olympic joint team participating in the National Games, it is very difficult for the Guangdong team to grab a gold medal (the other three golds are won by the joint team).
The men's single paddle strength of the Guangdong team has always been very strong, and at the last National Games, because of the need to take into account the double and eight-man boats, and the four-person boat has an inter-provincial combination to participate, the Guangdong team did not focus on the project, and finally won the bronze medal of the four-man boat.
The men's four-person single sculpting of this National Games is the first event for men, which is a good breakthrough in improving the morale of the team and the personnel arrangement, so it has become the first key gold rushing project of the Guangdong rowing team. After repeated consideration and selection, Li Chong, Wang Linqing, Ni Xulin, and Nie Yide, who have strong comprehensive ability, were entrusted with heavy responsibilities and took the lead in blowing the horn of rushing gold.
In the race, Li Chong, Wang Linqing, Ni Xulin and Nie Yide started slowly, once lagging behind, but rushed to the top three at 1000 meters, and completed the rebound at 1500 meters, rising to the first place! At 1750 meters, the Guangdong team was already leading the Hubei team and the Shandong team behind the boat for about 2 seconds. Despite the Hubei team's strong impact in the last moment, the Guangdong team withstood the pressure and finally won the gold with an advantage of 0.05 seconds.
"They did a great job, very happy and satisfied". Lin Jinquan, the men's coach of the Guangdong rowing team, commented on the performance of the disciples: "The team members are not easy, from all aspects and all aspects, we have achieved the ultimate, and the results have basically reached expectations. ”
The youngster celebrates his birthday with a victory
At the last National Games, as a member of the Guangdong team of the men's eight-person single sculls with helmsman event, Li Chong, Wang Linqing and Ni Xulin have won the heaviest rowing gold medal, and tomorrow they will strive to defend the title.
Born in 2000, Nie Yide is a rookie who entered the team in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, growing very fast, as the oarsman of today's competition, physical fitness, technology and psychological quality have withstood the test. Today is still Nie Yide's birthday, and he gave himself the biggest birthday gift with his wonderful performance.
"We all blessed him." Lin Jinquan said that because there is still a game tomorrow, and the four people have just won the gold, the mood is more excited, now is not the time to celebrate, in order not to affect the next day's game, the most important thing now is to keep them calm.
Lin Jinquan told reporters that at present, the guangdong rowing men's team has done a good job in combining old, middle and young, not only has many experienced veterans, but also absorbed a lot of powerful newcomers. "But now because of various factors, we are also facing the situation that the veteran players will gradually retire, and more fresh blood is needed." Lin Jinquan said that he is trying his best to retain the veteran team members and strive to make greater contributions to the team, but he also needs help at all levels.
Tomorrow, the rowing competition will produce 10 gold medals, and the Guangdong team will continue to attack the gold medal in the men's and women's lightweight double sculls, men's eight-person single sculls with helmsmen and other events. In the last National Games, the Guangdong team won a total of 4 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze, creating the best results in recent National Games. Can this time catch up with the results of the previous edition or even further? We'll see. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
