Hangzhou, 10 Oct (ZXS) -- At the third Asian Games held on its doorstep, the Chinese delegation once again made a breakthrough, exceeding 8 gold medals in a single Asian Games for the first time.
Judging from the results of the Asian Games alone, the Chinese Legion undoubtedly submitted a perfect answer. This excellent result is due to the more blossoms and comprehensive harvests of the Chinese Legion.
Whether it is in diving, table feather, gymnastics, shooting and other traditional Chinese dominant sports, or in rowing, canoeing, athletics, swimming and other dominant gold medalists in Asia, the Chinese team not only continues to hold the position of Asian hegemony, but also forms a sweeping trend of gold medals, the number of gold medals in these events accounts for about 60% of the total number of gold medals of the Chinese delegation.
In potential sports such as boxing, cycling, taekwondo and tennis, the Chinese team has turned the uncertainty of pre-competition gold competition in some events into the certainty of winning the championship after the competition. In equestrian, wrestling, karate, jiu-jitsu and other weak sports, the Chinese team "pulled teeth from the mouth of the tiger" and all scored gold medals.
In the new events of the Paris Olympics skateboarding, breakdancing and rock climbing, the Chinese team achieved gratifying results. Among them, Chinese skateboarding won 4 gold medals in all 3 events, rock climbing became the biggest winner with 2 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes, and breakdancing won the women's championship.
In the popular e-sports, martial arts, dragon boat, bridge, Go, chess and chess, the Chinese team has gained a lot...
What is even more gratifying is that behind these 201 gold medals is the rise of new forces in Chinese sports - "post-00s" have gradually become pillars, and many "post-03s", "post-04s" and even "post-09s" have reached the highest podium.
However, for the Paris Olympics, it is necessary to take a rational look at the 201 gold medal that set a new record for the Chinese delegation.
First of all, in order to show the unique charm of Asian sports, the Hangzhou Asian Games set up a number of non-Olympic sports, such as Go, Xiangqi, chess, bridge, e-sports, martial arts, dragon boat, etc., which produced nearly 90 gold medals, accounting for nearly 481% of the 20 gold medals in this Asian Games, and the Chinese team won more than 30 gold medals in these events.
Secondly, some Olympic sports in this year's Asian Games have "fattening" phenomenon, such as shooting that produced 33 gold medals, while only 15 in the Olympic Games; The Olympic Games produced 35 gold medals in swimming, and a total of 41 gold medals were distributed at this Asian Games.
Diving, table tennis, badminton, weightlifting and many other Chinese team advantages, this year's Asian Games competition events are more than the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team in these non-Olympic events, also have a lot of gold medals.
Third, there is a gap between many Asian Games gold medal results and the world level. Chinese rowing and canoeing have an absolute advantage in Asia, sweeping 11 and 12 gold medals respectively. However, due to the low overall level of Asia, some of the gold medal events of the Chinese team are still difficult to compete with the world's strong teams.
A similar situation has occurred in the two gold medalists of swimming and athletics. For example, Ge Manqi won the gold medal in the women's 11m in athletics with 23.100 seconds at the Asian Games, but at the Tokyo Olympics, as a Chinese athlete who reached the women's 100m semifinals for the first time, Ge Manqi ran 11.22 seconds, but failed to enter the final.
Fourth, some advantageous projects have been impacted. Two of China's weightlifting Olympic champions, Li Fabin and Chen Lijun, lamented after winning the gold medal that it was "too difficult" because their victory was mainly due to the loss of their opponents. In table tennis, badminton, gymnastics, shooting and other sports, the Chinese team is threatened in some small sports.
In addition, the host "dividend" cannot be underestimated. The Asian Games held on the doorstep of the home have greatly enhanced the self-confidence and desire to win of Chinese athletes. The familiar environment, the adapted climate and diet, as well as the cheering of the audience, even relatives and friends, all have a good role in promoting the competitive state and on-site performance of the players.
Therefore, in previous comprehensive competitions, it has become customary for the host country to increase their results significantly. This also shows from another side that when we look at the 201 gold medals of the Chinese delegation at this Asian Games, we need to have a more rational vision and a cautious attitude.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese men's and women's football team and the Chinese men's basketball team, which have attracted much attention from the outside world, did not become part of the 201 gold, which may be the biggest regret of the Chinese delegation at the Hangzhou Asian Games.
When the Hangzhou Asian Games came to an end, less than 300 days had passed since the arrival of the Paris Olympics. Facing the Olympic "big test", the biggest gain brought by the Hangzhou Asian Games to the Chinese Legion is not the 201 gold medals, but the enlightenment given by these gold medals, and the alarm bells sounded by those lost gold medals.
