　　In the past few Olympic Games, the Chinese track cycling team has made an upward impact one step at a time, until it rewritten history at the Rio Olympics five years ago.

The title of Bell Angel "Mulan" also began in the Rio Olympics.

　　At that Olympic Games, "Golden Medal Partners" Zhong Tianhe and Gong Jinjie won the women's team racing competition in one fell swoop, achieving a zero gold breakthrough in China's track cycling event.

Together with this gold medal, two helmets with theatrical masks of "Mulan" and "Mu Guiying" were also recorded in the annals of history, and the one belonging to the angel Zhong is "Mulan".

　　During the Rio Olympics cycle, Angel Zhong won all the way from the World Cup, the National Games, the Asian Games, and the World Championships to the Olympics. In just four years, he gathered all the major championships in one.

However, in the Tokyo cycle, due to injuries and other factors, Zhong Angel's state is a bit ups and downs compared to before.

　　For a long time after the World Championships last year, Zhong Angel, who was troubled by a knee injury, did not participate in the official competition.

Fortunately, Zhong Angel's injury has improved this year, which enabled her to devote all her energy to preparing for the Tokyo Olympics.

　　This is the second time that Angel Zhong has set foot on the Olympics. The 30-year-old previously revealed in an interview that this may be her last Olympic Games as an athlete.

In the defending battle of the women's team sprint, Zhong Tianhe will partner with teammate Bao Shanju to strive for another success.

　　Bao Shanju, 24 this year, is a player who has gradually emerged in the Tokyo Olympic cycle. In the National Track Cycling Championships last year, Bao Shanju won three gold medals in the 250-meter individual time trial, 500-meter individual time trial and team race, and broke the national record four times during this period. Her team racing with Angel Zhong is the key to the success of the Chinese track cycling team in the Tokyo Olympics. (Finish)
