The 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou came to a successful conclusion. As the “high school entrance examination” before next year’s Paris Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation achieved the purpose of training the team, testing the training level, discovering new talents, and accumulating competition experience, and handed in satisfactory answers. Looking at Paris from Hangzhou and looking at the Olympics from the Asian Games, as the best touchstone before the Paris Olympics, the Chinese Legion gained confidence in the Hangzhou Asian Games, but also discovered problems. They need to consolidate their traditional advantages, speed up making up for shortcomings and weaknesses, and improve comprehensively. Competitive level, in the best condition to meet the ultimate “big test” of the Paris Olympics.

Among the 201 gold medals won by the Chinese sports delegation, a total of 144 gold medals were won in Olympic sports, accounting for 72%. 19 gold medals were awarded in water polo, hockey, tennis, boxing, synchronized swimming, sailing, archery, modern pentathlon and other sports. All of them qualified for the Paris Olympics at the Hangzhou Asian Games. 13 events in swimming and 1 event in track and field reached the Paris Olympics qualifications at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Traditional advantage projects show dominance

Through the window of the Hangzhou Asian Games, we can see that the Chinese sports delegation has shown a certain degree of dominance in traditional advantageous events, and has continued its success in past competitions in major Olympic gold medals such as diving, table tennis, badminton, and shooting. Stable and strong performance.

The Chinese diving team won the gold medals in all 10 events of this Asian Games, continuing its excellent performance since participating in the Asian Games. Among them, Chinese athletes won the championship and runner-up in 6 individual events. The “fairy fight” between Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi in the women’s 10-meter platform final was even more world-class. China’s diving “dream team” has taken a sharp lead in points at this Asian Games. As long as there are no obvious psychological fluctuations in on-the-spot performance, diving will still be a powerful gold medal event in the Paris Olympics.

As a major Olympic event of the Chinese team, the Chinese shooting team “shot” 16 of the 33 gold medals in all events at the Hangzhou Asian Games, setting new records for the men’s 10-meter air rifle individual, the men’s 25-meter rapid-fire pistol team, and the women’s multi-directional 3 world records for the UFO team. Among the 15 Olympic shooting events, 10 gold medals, 5 silver medals and 2 bronze medals were achieved.

What is gratifying is that the Chinese shooting team has hired a large number of “post-90s” and “post-00s” young players for this Asian Games, which not only shows full momentum and strong strength, but also shows the momentum of youthfulness. Among them, 19-year-old Sheng Lihao won the gold medal in the men’s 10-meter air rifle individual competition with a score of 253.3 rings and set a new world record, Asian record, and competition record. 17-year-old Huang Yuting won the women’s gold medal with a score of 252.7 rings. Gold medal in 10m air rifle individual competition. The two partners won the gold medal in the 10-meter air rifle mixed team event. According to the first version of the Paris Olympic Games schedule, the first gold medal will be produced in this event. The Chinese team will start the first shot of the Paris Olympics as the defending champion.

The gap between track and field swimming and the world’s top level is still not small

As the “big gold medalists” in the Olympic Games, track and field and swimming have always been “must-win areas for military strategists.” The Chinese sports delegation won a total of 28 gold medals in swimming events at the Hangzhou Asian Games. The total number of gold medals hit a record high. They achieved gold medals in both synchronized swimming and marathon swimming. They also won 19 gold medals in track and field, the highest total since the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games. In one session, it won four gold medals in the men’s and women’s 100m and the men’s and women’s 4×100m relay, and the men’s marathon won the Asian Games gold medal for the first time, which is quite valuable.

Although it has stood at the top of Asia, its performance in the two major basic events is still far behind the world’s top levels. China’s track and field and swimming still have a long way to go.

Qin Haiyang and Zhang Yufei have recently competed in the Fukuoka World Championships, Hangzhou Asian Games and FINA Swimming World Cup Berlin. The two have continued their excellent form this year under an intensive schedule and started the gold medal harvesting mode. They will still shoulder the responsibility to win the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. heavy responsibility.

In addition, the Chinese team set the best results in the world this year in the men’s 4×100m medley relay, the men’s and women’s mixed 4×100m medley relay, as well as Pan Zhanle in the men’s 100m freestyle and Wang Shun in the men’s 200m medley. The men’s 100-meter backstroke winning time was 52.23 seconds, which was improved compared to the Fukuoka World Championships (52.64 seconds, fourth place). This time was only 0.01 seconds slower than the American star Murphy who won the World Championships. These few seconds This event will also be a powerful gold medal for the Chinese swimming team in Paris.

Of course, we must also see the gap behind the glory. Except for Qin Haiyang and Zhang Yufei, who are among the best in the world of swimming, the other athletes still have room for breakthrough and improvement. For example, Pan Zhanle lost in the men’s 200-meter freestyle to South Korea’s Huang Xuanyou, who won the bronze medal at the Fukuoka World Championships, and Yu Yiting won the women’s 200-meter individual medley gold medal at the Asian Games in 2 minutes, 07 seconds and 75. This result is Although it is slightly higher than his 2:08.74 at the Fukuoka World Championships, it is still only at the level of third place.

In terms of track and field, although the traditional advantageous events such as throwing, jumping and walking have continued to make money, and sprints and marathons have also performed brilliantly in the transition between old and new, the World Championships in Budapest and their own results are the best mirror. Compared with the world’s high-level athletes or their own peak state, China’s track and field has a long way to go.

In the traditional track and field advantageous event, Feng Bin broke the Asian Games record in the women’s discus with 67.93 meters, but this result was inferior to her bronze medal score at the World Championships in Budapest (68.20 meters); Gong Lijiao achieved a record of 19.58 meters in the women’s shot put. Three consecutive championships, but the result is also not as good as her bronze medal result in the World Championships (19.69 meters). The American star Eli, who won two consecutive World Championships, threw 20.43 meters in Budapest. Only by breaking through 20 meters can Gong Lijiao have a chance to defend her title in Paris.

In addition, Wang Jianan and Zhu Yaming easily won the long jump and triple jump at the Asian Games respectively, but they still have a long way to go to achieve the results of World Championship champions Tentoglu and Zango.

In the men’s and women’s 20-kilometer race walking event, world record holder Yang Jiayu’s Asian Games winning time of 1 hour, 30 minutes and 03 seconds was three times slower than Spanish player Perez’s winning time at the World Championships in Budapest (1 hour, 26 minutes and 51 seconds). More than minutes; Zhang Jun won the championship in 1 hour and 23 minutes at the Hangzhou Asian Games, but Martin, the Budapest World Championship champion, won in 1 hour, 17 minutes and 32 seconds. After encountering the Waterloo in Budapest, Chinese race walking is gradually coming out of its trough, but it still takes time and experience in competitions to truly connect with the world.

Chinese sprinters defended their status as the “Asian Overlord” at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Xie Zhenye ran 9.97 seconds for the second time in his career. Chen Jiapeng overtook the Japanese team in the last leg of the men’s 4×100m relay. The outstanding results at the Asian Games were heart-warming. It effectively promoted the replacement of old and new sprinters in China. But compared with the Asian season’s best time of 37.71 seconds run by the Japanese relay team in Budapest, the Chinese men’s relay team can only show itself on the world stage if it first breaks the 38-second mark. The Chinese women’s relay has not yet returned to its peak state. It must first defeat itself to have a chance to achieve another breakthrough.

“New” projects have unlimited potential, women’s basketball and volleyball support the “three major goals”

Compared with other Olympic sports, the Chinese Legion has shown a good trend with bright spots and potential in emerging sports at the Asian Games. While consolidating the foundation of traditional advantages, seeking new gold-winning points and breakthrough space in emerging projects will definitely promote the performance of the Paris Olympic Games to leapfrog.

A young man in bright clothes and an angry horse! At this Hangzhou Asian Games, 17-year-old girl Liu Qingyi won the gold medal in break dancing, which was set up for the first time, and qualified for the Olympics; the Chinese team won the championship three times in the four skateboarding events, and the 15-year-old Guangdong skateboarding boy Chen Ye “reached the peak when he debuted” “; The Chinese rock climbing team composed of “post-00s” won the gold medal in the men’s and women’s team speed relay. Showing youthful vitality and tapping unlimited potential in “new” projects, next year’s Paris Olympics is worth looking forward to even greater surprises.

In addition, China won a double championship in men’s and women’s tennis, and won the men’s singles championship again after 29 years; China’s equestrian won the Asian Games gold medal for the first time; China’s taekwondo won 5 gold medals, setting a new record for the number of gold medals in the Asian Games, and won the men’s gold medal for the first time. (over 80 kg) gold medal; Chinese boxing won 5 gold medals, tying the best result in history, and qualified for the Paris Olympics in 2 levels for men and 5 levels for women; Chinese player Ma Zhenzhao defeated a famous Japanese player in the women’s 78 kg judo class Liga Takayama, Chinese judo won the Asian Games gold medal at this level for the first time in 25 years; the Chinese women’s foil team won the Asian Games gold medal for the first time in 29 years.

With the development and growth of Chinese sports, on the road to the goal of “faster, higher, stronger”, the Chinese Legion is constantly opening up new breakthroughs in the dimension and breadth of projects, and has been very effective.

The Hangzhou Asian Games achieved the purpose of integrating the team and training newcomers, and enhanced the talent pool to prepare for the Paris Olympics. The Chinese sports delegation has gained a lot, but it still needs to be prepared for danger in times of peace. We have received strong support in our advantageous projects such as table tennis, badminton, and weightlifting. The challenge also sounded the alarm.

National table tennis lost the women’s doubles gold medal; badminton lost the women’s team championship, and singles double stars Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao lost to the world’s “first sister” An Xiying; although Liu Huanhua won the men’s 109kg weightlifting championship and broke the clean and jerk and total scores by two This Asian Games record added a new Olympic gold medal, but the women’s weightlifting only won one gold. The strong rise of North Korea’s weightlifting must be paid attention to.

In the collective ball events, the successfully defending women’s basketball and women’s volleyball teams teamed up to shoulder the “three major goals.” If they can successfully pass the Olympic preliminaries, Paris will shoulder the mission of continuing to defend China’s “three major goals” honors next year. In addition, Chinese women’s rugby won the gold medal again after 9 years; Chinese women’s water polo won the championship again and qualified for the Paris Olympics; Chinese women’s hockey won again after 13 years and qualified for the Paris Olympics. While the “three major sports” are in the doldrums, other sports are showing a booming trend, and the future is worth looking forward to.
