Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, August 1 (Reporters Wang Chunyan and Yao Youming) The Chinese university student sports delegation continued to make great strides in the Chengdu Universiade on the 1st. A total of 10 gold medals were recorded, and they continued to lead the gold medal list with 27 golds, 9 silvers and 10 bronzes. On and off the field, college athletes also “freeze” their youthful appearance with laughter and tears.
A total of 21 gold medals were produced that day, 6 of which came from shooting. The Chinese shooting team stood on the podium 6 times and won 2 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes. Hu Kai won the first gold medal in the individual shooting event for the Chinese team, and Xiong Yaxuan, Wang Keyi, and Lin Yaqian teamed up to win the women’s 25m pistol team championship.

Gymnastics, track and field, and swimming began. The Chinese track and field team achieved a “good start” and won two gold medals on the day. Song Jiayuan from Shanghai University won the women’s shot put championship with 18.56 meters, and Xia Yuyu overtook the Turkish player on the last lap in the drizzle to win the women’s 10,000-meter championship.

Qin Haiyang, the world’s “Frog King” and Zhang Yufei, the “Queen of Butterflies”, who had triumphantly returned from the Fukuoka World Championships in Japan, arrived in Chengdu in the early hours of the same day, and immediately set new records in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke and women’s 50-meter butterfly. Zhang Yufei also led the Chinese team to set a record in the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay with a time of 3:37.51, starting the journey to gold in the Chengdu Universiade.

Only one gold medal was produced on the day of diving, and there is still no suspense about the ownership. Chinese players Chen Jia and Wang Yi won the gold and silver medals in the women’s 1-meter springboard. Chen Jia also received a big hug from Ren Qian, the diving champion of the Rio Olympics.
Table tennis produced two gold medals that day. Compared with the ease with which the Chinese men’s team defeated the Chinese Taipei team 3:0 to win the men’s team championship, the Chinese women’s team gold medal was thrilling. The girls fought hard for 3 and a half hours before narrowly beating the Japanese team 3:2.
The Chinese team also won two gold medals in the taekwondo event. Song Jie reversed and won the women’s 67kg championship, and Zhang Kai won the men’s 80kg gold medal.

Judo ended the day, and the Japanese team won the last two gold medals.
In the arena, the competition for gold and silver depends on real skills; outside the arena, if you want to get a “3D printed version of yourself”, you must rely on technology and a lucky birthday. If a member of the delegation celebrates his birthday during the Universiade, he can take a photo in the 3D photo studio of the Universiade Village Science and Technology Service Workstation, and after 4 days, he can receive his own real-life image for free, and bring back a “self in Chengdu” Home.
“So excited! Looks good! So cute! The legs are so long.” Wu Yanni from Beijing Sport University got the 3D printed version of herself, excitedly speaking Sichuan dialect, with a bright smile on her face. “Wu Yanni’s same smile” has already appeared on the faces of more than 100 “villagers” in dozens of delegations.
Smiles are bright and tears are precious. Xia Yuyu, who won the women’s 10,000-meter gold medal, shed tears of farewell, “This is my last Universiade, and this gold medal marks a successful end to my Universiade.”
Lin Yaxi, who stood on the highest podium in the women’s 25m pistol team competition with her teammates, shed tears of joy, and the birthday song was played on the spot, and the audience sang in unison. “I didn’t expect to have such a surprise today. The championship is the best birthday present for myself!”
Wang Zeru, who stood on the podium twice but failed to stand on the highest podium twice, shed tears of regret.

“I used to think that I could win the gold medal, but the group didn’t get it, and neither did the individual. The coach even provoked me, saying, ‘You’re bragging, you won’t come back’, and I was even more uncomfortable.” Wang Zeru cried his eyes. The stickers were all dropped, but she quickly wiped away her tears, “This time I let the volunteers see a joke, and I will definitely have a chance to get it back (the gold medal) next time.”
On the 2nd, fencing starts and shooting ends, and 23 gold medals will be produced.
