A “youth storm” belonging to Chinese competitive sports is ready to take off.
[Ta Kung Pao News]As traditional Chinese sports with advantages, the performance of Chinese athletes in the trump card events such as table tennis, diving, shooting, weightlifting, badminton, and gymnastics is believed to largely determine the position of the Chinese delegation in the gold medal list. During the Paris Olympic cycle, these six major events are undergoing changes in team blood transfusion and personnel replacement. The quality of the newcomers presented in Paris this summer also determines the trend of the events to some extent.
The Olympic Games are about to begin. This summer, many vibrant new stars from China born in the 2000s, 2005s and even 2010s will shine with their own unique brilliance in Paris.
Gymnastics Zhang Boheng
As the new leaders of the Chinese men’s and women’s gymnastics teams, Zhang Boheng and Qiu Qiyuan received a lot of attention before the competition. As the men’s individual all-around champion of the 2021 World Championships, Zhang Boheng will shoulder the important task of leading the team to the team gold medal. Compared with the men’s team, the Chinese women’s gymnastics team has more “new faces”. The biggest gold medal comes from its traditional strengths of uneven bars and balance beam. At the 2023 World Championships, Qiu Qiyuan won the uneven bars championship and Zhou Yaqin won the runner-up on the balance beam. They are also looking forward to blooming on the stage in Paris.
Diving Chang Yani Chen Yiwen
China’s diving “Dream Team”, Chen Yiwen, Chang Yani, Long Daoyi, Yang Hao and Lian Junjie will make their Olympic debut in Paris. Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani are both “rivals” and double partners in the women’s 3-meter springboard event. It is worth paying attention to who can take over the baton passed down by Fu Mingxia, Guo Jingjing, Wu Minxia, Shi Tingmao and others through the Paris showdown; Yang Hao will not only participate in the men’s single 10-meter platform competition, but will also compete side by side with Lian Junjie in the men’s double 10-meter platform event, striving to make up for the regrets left by the “Dream Team” in Tokyo; the 21-year-old Long Daoyi will partner with Wang Zongyuan in the men’s double 3-meter springboard event.
Table tennis Liang Jingkun
In the Chinese table tennis team, although the existing veterans and famous players have already been dazzling, the first Olympic trip of new faces such as Liang Jingkun and Wang Yidi should not be underestimated. In the national table tennis team with so many strong players, being able to compete in the Olympics as a substitute is a strength in itself. prove that they not only bring vitality and momentum to the team, but may also have the opportunity to show off their talents on this rare stage.
Badminton Li Shifeng
In the five individual events of badminton in the Paris Olympics, Chinese players occupy the top seed positions in men’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. The “post-00” combination Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang is the top seed in men’s doubles. This pair, which was ranked outside the top 400 in the world two years ago, has the opportunity to surprise fans on the court. In addition, in the list of participants, although the sixth seed in men’s singles Li Shifeng and the second seed in women’s doubles Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning are both newcomers to the Olympics, they both have the strength to “make a big splash”.
Weightlifting Liu Huanhua
Due to the limitation of the number of participants in the event, the Chinese weightlifting team can only send 6 strongmen although they have the full quota this time. Among them, Liu Huanhua and Luo Shifang are two newcomers worth looking forward to, especially Liu Huanhua in the men’s 102kg class, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of breaking through in the big class. At the Weightlifting World Cup in April this year, the 23-year-old Liu Huanhua won two gold medals in the men’s 102kg clean and jerk and total score with a world record-breaking performance, while Luo Shifang broke the world record for the women’s 59kg total score. In this new Olympic level, her biggest opponent should be herself.
Shooting Zhao Nan
The first gold medal of the Paris Olympics will still be produced in the shooting event. In the highly anticipated air rifle mixed team event, the national team sent two pairs of Sheng Lihao/Huang Yuting and Du Linshu/Han Jiayu to compete for the first gold medal. Among the “double insurance”, only Sheng Lihao has Olympic experience. The women’s 25-meter sports pistol event will be competed by young players Zhao Nan and Liang Xiaoya. Zhao Nan has performed stably in domestic and international competitions in recent years. As the youngest contestant in the shooting team, 17-year-old Liang Xiaoya has also shown strong impact in the selection competition.
