"Dream Team" meets nightmare, Guoping loses gold for the first time in nearly 4 Olympic Games

  On the 26th, the three "dream teams" of China's table tennis, diving and weightlifting attacked across the board, but they were completely wiped out.

In particular, the Chinese table tennis team has achieved great success in the previous three Olympic Games. This is the first time that it has lost gold in the past four Olympic Games.

  On the same day, it was the first time that it entered the Olympic Games table tennis mixed doubles final.

The Chinese golden partner Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen was in a good situation with a 2:0 lead, and was reversed by the Japanese ace combination Mizutani Hayabusa/Ito Mima and missed the first mixed doubles gold medal in Olympic history with 3:4.

  In the diving arena, Cao Yuan/Chen Aisen, who each had two Olympic gold medals, failed to add another gold.

  The Chinese diving team, which has won 41 Olympic gold medals so far, is a veritable gold medalist, but it has never achieved success in the Olympics.

This year's Olympic Games, China diving is expected to take care of, but now the "gap" appearing in the men's double platform, the Chinese diving team's trip to Tokyo is still not complete.

  The Chinese women's weightlifting team has also achieved success in two Olympic Games. The goal of the Tokyo trip is still to sweep the 4 gold medals in the participating events.

However, in the women's 55 kg weightlifting competition, Liao Qiuyun, the world record holder for clean and jerk and total results, regretted picking silver. The Philippines player Diaz won the championship with a 1 kg advantage.

  After the game, Liao Qiuyun burst into tears on the field. She said that she had a knee injury. The thickness of her previous training was not too solid, and the opponent's strength was indeed too strong.

Multiple gold points lost

  In addition to the accidental defeats of the three major "aces", several gold medals including the men's gymnastics team, the women's skeet, and the women's 100-meter butterfly have also fallen.

  The Chinese gymnastics team, which did not win a gold medal in the Rio Olympics, is determined to fight a "turn-over" in Tokyo, and the men's team with the heaviest weight has high hopes.

  However, in the competition for the first gold medal in gymnastics and the men's team gold medal, the Chinese gymnastics team failed to "turn over" and still ranked third below the Russian and Japanese teams.

The difference is that the defending champion Japan won the silver medal and the Russian Olympic Committee team became the new champion.

  The women's skeet is also an advantage for the Chinese shooting team. As early as the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, Zhang Shan won the gold medal.

But since then, the Chinese team won many medals in the Olympics, but it is hard to see gold.

Wei Meng, who now holds the world record, is considered the most promising to pierce this layer of "window paper."

  In the women's skeet competition on the 26th, Wei Meng performed well in the qualifying round, set an Olympic record and tied the world record, but fell short in the final and finally won the bronze medal.

  In Taekwondo, the 2019 World Championship champion Zhang Mengyu lost to Ivory Coast in the women’s 67kg quarterfinals and missed the semifinals; the Chinese men’s archery team, which was determined to win medals and even gold before the game, also lost in the quarterfinals. In the Chinese Taipei team, missed the semi-finals.

  In the swimming arena, Zhang Yufei, who assumed the responsibility of the Chinese swimming army’s first gold medal, swam the second-best time in the women’s 100-meter butterfly swim final in 55.64 seconds, but still regrets to win the silver medal. Canada’s McNeill scored a weak 0.05 second. The advantage won the gold medal.

On July 26, local time, at the Tokyo Olympic swimming venue, Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei won the silver medal in the women's 100-meter butterfly final in 55.64 seconds.

Swimming "Little Flower" brings hope

  Although the Chinese team did not receive any money in the swimming field on the 26th, the results and performance of the players were gratifying.

  Although the 23-year-old Zhang Yufei missed the 100-meter butterfly championship, he was the only person to swim 56 seconds in all three games of the preliminary, semi-finals and finals, demonstrating his strength and stability in the event.

  After the game, Zhang Yufei also expressed satisfaction with his performance and scored 99 points for himself. "I have one point left and I hope my mentality can be better."

  The 200-meter butterfly is Zhang Yufei's main event, and her performance in the Olympic qualifying competition ranked first in the world this year.

She said she would go to battle lightly and go all out for gold.

  In the women's 400-meter freestyle final, the 19-year-old Chinese teenager Li Bingjie overtook the final 50 meters and won the bronze medal with a time of 4:01.08 breaking the Asian record.

This is also the first Olympic medal for the Chinese women's swimming middle and long distance event.

  In the men's 100-meter breaststroke final, Chinese player Yan Zibei ranked 6th with a time of 58.99 seconds, creating the best result of the Chinese team in this event.

  In the men's 100-meter backstroke semi-finals that day, the two-time World Championship champion and Chinese player Xu Jiayu swam out 52.94 seconds and finally ranked sixth in the final on the 27th.
