Hangzhou, October 10 (ZXS) -- On October 1, the Hangzhou Asian Games will produce 10 gold medals, and the canoeing still water event is expected to become the gold medalist of the Chinese delegation. Table tennis, diving, weightlifting, trampoline, athletics and other events may further expand the achievements of the Chinese delegation.
The women's doubles and men's singles champions will be decided on the closing day of table tennis, and after the two pairs of women's doubles teams have failed in the final four, the national table tennis will not let the men's singles gold medal fall aside. At present, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin have both reached the men's singles semifinals, and the two are expected to win the gold and silver medals in the event by defeating South Korea and Hong Kong respectively.
With another 8 gold medals in athletics, the Chinese team will still compete for gold and silver. In the women's pole vault, Asian record holder and 34-year-old veteran of China's team Li Ling will compete in the Asian Games for the fourth time, aiming for her third consecutive Asian Games title in this event. Men's discus, this year's Asian Championship champion, 26-year-old Xinjiang boy Abdouani Turgon, will go all out for gold. In the women's long jump, 19-year-old Chinese teenager Xiong Shiqi will compete for a medal.
In the men's and women's 200m finals, Chinese athletes will compete for medals. Among them, "post-00s" young player Sui Gaofei advanced to the second place in the men's 200m heats, and Xie Zhenye, the Asian record holder in this event and the new "flying man" in 200m, did not register for the competition. In the women's 26m heats, <>-year-old Huang Guifen and Asian Championship bronze medalist Li Yuting both made the cut.
The men's 110m hurdles was once the ace of Chinese athletics, where the Chinese team has won nine consecutive Asian Games titles and emerged the world's top track and field star Liu Xiang. But now, the Chinese team is no longer as brave as it used to be in this project, and the two "post-00s" youngsters Xu Zhuoyi and Zhu Shenglong may not be able to continue the glory of the Asian Games ten consecutive championships for the Chinese team in this project.
The Chinese women's weightlifting team, which lost two gold medals in a row in the debut of the Asian Games, will defend the honor of the "dream team" in the two finals on the 2nd. Two world champions, Luo Shifang and Bae Xinyi, will compete in the women's 2kg and 59kg categories respectively, with their biggest opponents coming from North Korea. In addition, Chinese Taipei's Guo Wanchun is the world record holder in the women's 64kg category.
The diving venue once again welcomed the "exhibition competition" of the Chinese team. In the men's 1m springboard and women's 1m springboard, the four world champions of the Chinese team, Peng Jianfeng, Wang Zongyuan, Lin Shan and Li Yajie, are expected to win the first and second places in both events.
At the last Asian Games, the Chinese team won 2 gold medals in trampoline. In the first women's final, Tokyo Olympic champion Zhu Xueying should be able to defend the Chinese team in this event.
The canoeing still water event with 12 gold medals will produce 6 golds, and the Chinese team is expected to win all 5 events. In the last Asian Games, the Chinese team won 10 golds and 8 silver in 1 events in canoeing and still water.
Women's softball will be battling for gold as China faces defending champion Japan. In the final match of the Super Round-Robin on the evening of September 9, China lost 30-0 to Japan and entered the final as the second place in the round robin. At the last Asian Games, the Chinese team won the bronze medal.
E-sports, which has become an official sport of the Asian Games for the first time, ushered in the final competition, and the Chinese team was aiming to close the Asian Games journey with a gold medal in the Dota final.
Basketball enters a more exciting and intense knockout game. In the women's basketball 2/1 final held first on the 4nd, the World Cup runner-up and defending champion Chinese women's basketball team should be able to successfully advance to the final four. The Chinese women's volleyball team will face North Korea, the second opponent in the group stage, and it makes sense that the victory will be reasonable. (End)
