　　Chinanews client, Beijing, August 1st (Liu Xingchen) The Tokyo Olympics schedule has passed halfway. While many players have reached the highest podium, there are also various "upsets" in the competition.

This issue of the Olympic Crash Handbook for Veteran Drivers will take you to take a look at the unpopularities that have appeared in Tokyo so far.

Unpopular tennis events continue

　　At the opening ceremony, Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka ignited the main torch as the last torchbearer, which is enough to show the host's expectation of this teenager who is less than 24 years old.

However, the script did not proceed as expected. In the women's singles 1/8 finals on July 27, Naomi Osaka, now ranked second in the world, lost to Czech player Vandrosova 1:6/4:6. Unfortunately missed the quarterfinals.

　　In the current Olympics, the tennis court has been unpopular.

In the first round of women's singles, two Grand Slam champions and top seed Batty lost to Spain's Tomo 4:6/3:6 and suffered a round trip.

In the men's singles semifinals, Serbian star Djokovic suffered Zverev's reversal and lost to his opponent 1:2. The hope of the annual gold slam was dashed ahead of schedule.

Kento Momota Overwhelmed

　　"I'm sorry, I didn't win the game", this is what Japanese badminton star Kento Momota said after losing the game on July 28.

As a player who won 11 championships in 2019, winning the Olympic championship may be the only goal of Kento Momota.

　　In the face of Xu Yuxi, ranked 38th in the world, Kento Momota suffered a "power failure" in the middle of the two games, and finally lost to his opponent with a 0:2 upset.

After two games in the group stage, Kento Momota ranked second with a score of 1 win and 1 loss, but unfortunately missed the top 16.

After experiencing a car accident and contracting the new crown, he was upset and missed the promotion. For more than a year, he has been unfriendly to Momota Kento.

Zhang Benzhi and regret are out

　　Before the Tokyo Olympics, the ITTF announced a new world ranking. Japanese player Zhang Benzhihe ranked 4th in men's singles. At home, the Japanese table tennis team has high hopes for this young talent after 00.

　　After successfully passing the first game, Zhang Benzhihe ushered in the challenge of Slovenian Dakko in the 1/8 finals. However, after a 3:2 lead in the overall situation, Zhang Benzhihe failed to win the game and was eventually defeated by his opponent. Two consecutive rounds missed the victory.

He stopped in the top 16 and became a big upset in the men's singles table tennis at the Olympic Games.

Li Daxun failed to realize his dream

　　"The Olympics is my only regret. The Asian Games and the World Championships are meaningless to me." After losing the bronze medal with Zhao Shuai, South Korean Taekwondo player Lee Da-hoon revealed to the media that he would officially retire.

　　3 Asian Games gold medals, 11 Grand Prix gold medals, in the career of Li Daxun, only one Olympic gold medal is missing, this time he played as the top seed, he aims to win the championship.

However, in the men's taekwondo 68 kg class 16-to-8 competition, Li Daxun lost to Black Malachitov in 19:21, missed the gold medal again, and regretted not being able to get on the podium in the end.

Data map: In the 2016 Rio Olympic Gymnastics Men's All-Around Final, the Japanese star Uchimura Kopei, with 15.800 points on the horizontal bar in the last round, reversed the Ukrainian teenager Vinyaev and won the Olympic gold medal.

Uchimura Hanghei’s accidental "off the bar"

　　From 2009 to 2016, men's gymnastics can be said to have entered the era of Japanese player Uchimura Kohei. From London to Rio, he defended his title in the men's gymnastics all-around event.

This time, he is still eager to make more glories at the door of his home after a year has passed.

　　Due to a shoulder injury, this time he only played in his best horizontal bar project.

In the men’s gymnastics qualifying competition held on July 24, Uchimura chose a set of moves with the highest difficulty of 6.600 points, but he made a mistake in a turning jump, although he re-loaded the bar consistently. After finishing the action, he still missed the final with 13.866 points, which is embarrassing.

　　Competitive sports are full of uncertainty, but there are still many upsets at the Tokyo Olympics.

The Chinese women's volleyball team, who played as the defending champion, unfortunately missed the group due to injuries and other reasons. In the semi-finals of the men's three-man basketball team, the world's number one Serbia team lost to the Russian Olympians and missed the final; In the 400-meter freestyle final, Australia's Titmus defeated the American star Ledkey to win the gold medal... Maybe this is another charm of competitive sports!
