Original title: The Taiyuan Station of the World Taekwondo Grand Prix begins and Chinese player Guo Qing wins the silver medal
Xinhua News Agency, Taiyuan, October 10 (Reporters Niu Mengtong and Liu Yangtao) The Taiyuan Station of the 2023 World Taekwondo Grand Prix will start on the 10th. On the first competition day, Chinese player Guo Qing lost to the Tokyo Olympic champion and Thai player Banipak Ompatanaji in the final and won the silver medal in the women’s 49kg class.
Guo Qing, who is currently ranked sixth in Olympic points, successfully advanced all the way through the competition that day, and finally met Umbadanaji, who is currently ranked first in Olympic points, again in the finals. At the just-concluded Hangzhou Asian Games, Guo Qing lost to Ongbadanaji 1:2 in the final.
In the final, after losing the first game, Guo Qing adjusted his condition in the second game and took the lead in scoring through the middle section. However, Ombadanaji took advantage of Guo Qing’s adjustment to launch an attack and reverse the score. In the end, Guo Qing lost with a big score of 0:2.
“I feel that I have improved compared to the (Hangzhou Asian Games), and there is still a lot of room for improvement in my back legs.” Guo Qing said after the game that the result was not very regrettable, and that he was much quicker in reaction to this confrontation.
This year Umbadanaji won the championship in the Chengdu Universiade, the Taekwondo Grand Prix in Rome and the Hangzhou Asian Games. The 26-year-old said that she was in good condition: “I beat her (Guo Qing) last time, so I firmly believe that this time I will also win the championship.” I’ll still beat her.”
In other games of the day, Canada’s Skylar Parker won the women’s 57kg gold medal, while China’s Gu Wenjing failed to enter the quarterfinals; China’s Cheng Kai lost to the day’s champion, Tunisia’s Mohamed Jonda, 1:2. It was a pity that they failed to reach the semi-finals of the men’s 58kg category.
It is reported that this event is the highest scoring competition among the annual standing events of the World Taekwondo Federation. This event will be held from the 10th to the 12th and is the last grand prix event of the Paris Olympic cycle. The men’s 68kg, men’s 80kg and women’s 67kg competitions will be held on the 11th.
