Hangzhou, September 9 (ZXS) -- The fencing competition of the Hangzhou Asian Games ended on the evening of 29 September, with the Chinese fencing team winning a total of eight medals, including two gold medals, while the South Korean team won six gold medals, becoming the team with the largest number of gold medals.
The Chinese fencing team sent 24 athletes to compete in all 12 disciplines, all of which were matched by "veterans" with Asian Games experience and young players. Among them, Chen Qingyuan, Shao Yaqi, Yang Hengyu, Chen Haiwei, Yan Yinghui and Lan Minghao ushered in their second Asian Games, and Olympic champion Sun Yiwen played for the third time.
Although the number of gold medals of the Chinese team has decreased compared with the last Asian Games in Jakarta, it still shows the relay and inheritance between "old Ji Fu Qi" and "fearful future life".
In the women's epee team semifinals, the Chinese women's team led by Sun Yiwen defeated the South Korean team 27:30 and finally won a bronze medal. After the game, Sun Yiwen said frankly, "This is my last Asian Games. ”
From the newcomer to the Incheon Asian Games, to the main player of the gold winning team at the Jakarta Asian Games, to the "big sister" in the women's epee team today, in the past 9 years, Sun Yiwen's teammates around her have constantly changed, but she has always stood on the field.
Although he only won the bronze medal, Sun Yiwen encouraged the three newcomers who stood on the Asian Games stage for the first time, "Their fighting spirit is obvious to all, and the first time they faced this kind of competition, they withstood the pressure and played quite well." Whatever the outcome, they should applaud themselves. ”
Mr. Sun's individual competition ended in the quarterfinals, but she said she wouldn't leave fencing just like that. "Next year's Paris Olympics, I hope to be on the podium." Despite the injury, Sun Yiwen is still full of confidence in himself, "My current style of play is a little different from before, in the past I used to be mostly counter-attacking, but now I am more proactive, in terms of personal ability, I have improved than before. ”
At this Asian Games, the two gold medals of the Chinese fencing team were won by the women's foil team, which also broke the "gold medal drought" of the Chinese women's foil team in the Asian Games for more than 20 years. "Post-00s" Huang Qianqian won 2 gold medals in the women's foil team and individual, achieving a double championship.
Participated in the Asian Games for the first time, ranked 29th in the world, broke through among a group of strong opponents... Unexpectedly, throughout Huang Qianqian's match that day. Before the match, Lei Sheng, the head coach of the Chinese women's foil, only asked her to "enter the top eight, even if you play normally".
In the women's individual foil competition, Huang Qianqian defeated Asia's No. 1 Japan's Ryokazu Higashi Seiwa, who had defeated her Yuka Ueno in the group round robin that day, to win the first gold medal of the Hangzhou Asian Games for the Chinese fencing team. Thunder's assessment of it is that "big heart" athletes have a sense of responsibility. He said: "Huang Qianqian's characteristic is that she dares to fight and fight, and she has won the weak several times. And this game I think she executed the pre-match setup very well, and the execution is very strong. ”
The Asian Games have always been considered the testing ground for the Olympic Games, regardless of the results, as Chen Feng, the coach of the Chinese men's sabre team, said before the game: "I hope that the players can first play the style of competition and play the training content on the field." At the same time, the psychological quality was further improved in preparation for the Paris Olympic Games. (End)
