On July 27, Beijing time, the Olympic Games in Paris will light the flame, and for most sports fans, the battle for the gold medal is the most noteworthy.
Before the game, more than United States institutions predicted the trend of gold medals, and the number of gold medals between the Chinese team and the United States team will be very close, and the difference will be between millimeters.
According to the performance of the Chinese team in this Olympic cycle, diving, table tennis, weightlifting, shooting, badminton and gymnastics will become the basic plate of the Chinese team, and the results of these six events will determine the final ranking of the Chinese team in the Paris Olympics.
Six major projects have become the basic plate
According to the latest data provided by the IOC's Paris Olympic Information Service, since Xu Haifeng "shot down" China's first Olympic gold medal in 1984, the Chinese sports delegation has won a total of 263 gold medals in the 10th Summer Olympics from the Los Angeles Olympics to the Tokyo Olympics.
As for the distribution of events, the data shows that China has won Olympic medals in 33 Summer Olympic sports, and the top 10 sports with the most gold medals are diving (47 gold), weightlifting (38 gold), table tennis (32 gold), gymnastics (29 gold), shooting (26 gold), badminton (20 gold), swimming (16 gold), track and field (11 gold), judo (8 gold), and taekwondo (7 gold).
Diving, weightlifting, table tennis, shooting, gymnastics and badminton are traditional Chinese sports. At the Tokyo Olympics, these six events jointly contributed 27 golds, accounting for more than 70% of the total number of gold medals (38) of the Chinese delegation. In Paris, these six items are still the pillars of the Chinese delegation.
In the six events, table tennis and diving are veritable "dream teams", and they all aim to win all the gold medals. At the Tokyo Olympics, the national table tennis won 4 gold medals, and the only thing left behind was the mixed doubles that entered the Olympics for the first time. Entering a new cycle, the Chinese table tennis team has performed steadily in various international competitions, and among the male players, Ma Long is old and strong, and will hit his sixth Olympic gold medal in Paris; The new generation of Wang Chuqin has grown rapidly and is currently ranked No. 1 in the world in men's singles. Among the female players, Sun Yingsha has "dominated the list for a long time" in the world rankings, and this time she will have 3 events; Last year's women's singles champion Chen Meng will also fight to defend her title. Whether the Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin combination can win the mixed doubles competition is the key for the Chinese team to achieve their goal of winning the gold medal.
Since participating in the Olympic Games, diving has been the most consistent gold medal event for the Chinese delegation. The Chinese diving team in Paris this time includes 5 Olympic champions and 5 world champions. Among them, Cao Yuan is the "veteran of the Four Dynasties", and Quan Hongchan, Chen Yuxi, Wang Zongyuan and Xie Sicheng are all competing in the Olympic Games for the second time. The Chinese team has the strength to win gold in all 8 events, and in the women's single 10-meter platform competition, the "fairy fight" between Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi is the most interesting. The strong Chinese team has not won all the gold medals at the Olympics before, and in Paris, they will try to make a breakthrough.

Swimming has sprung up
In this Olympic cycle, the Chinese swimming team ushered in a "golden generation". There are not only 6 Olympic champions such as Zhang Yufei and Wang Shun in the team, but also "Frog King" Qin Haiyang, backstroke world champion Xu Jiayu, and potential newcomers such as Pan Zhanle and Tang Qianting, who were crowned "Flying Fish" and "Frog Queen" at this year's World Championships.
At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese swimming team won three golds, and its best record at the Olympics was five golds, two silvers and three bronzes at the 2012 London Olympics.
In the prediction of foreign media, the "Frog King" Qin Haiyang will win two gold medals, but Qin Haiyang's goal is to win 4 gold medals.
Recently, in an interview with CCTV, Qin Haiyang confidently talked about his goals in the Paris Olympics. He said: "The goal is clear, that is, I can win gold medals in both individual events, namely the 100m and 200m breaststroke. ”
He revealed: "There was not much preparation for the Olympic trials, the whole winter training was more difficult, more in recovery. Despite this, he has achieved technical and psychological self-improvement.
Undeterred by strong opponents such as Peaty, Qin said: "We have been moving towards our ultimate goal in Paris, and this period of recovery has been good, which has given me more confidence to play well in the Olympics. ”
In addition, Qin Haiyang also emphasized the tacit cooperation between himself and his teammates, and he looks forward to working together with his teammates to win the gold medals in the men's and women's 4x100m medley relay and the men's 4x100m medley relay.

The battle for the gold medal between China and the United States will be between the millimeters
The gold medal list has always been the most eye-catching focus in the Olympic Games, and in recent Olympic Games, the battle between China and the United States for the top spot has always been the main tone on the gold medal list. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, as the host, the Chinese team beat United States to the top of the list with a total of 48 gold medals. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese delegation won 38 golds, 32 silvers and 19 bronzes, ranking second only one less than the United States. Over the past three years, both China and the United States have continued to consolidate their original strengths, and as the programs adjust, athletes' performance in emerging sports will also have a subtle impact on the competitive landscape.

The internationally renowned data company Nielsen Institute of United States predicts that the Chinese delegation may win 36 gold medals in this Olympic Games, while the number of gold medals of the United States delegation is 37, which is comparable. Although this is only a "virtual gold medal list", it is consistent with the outside world's predictions, and the battle between China and the United States is still the main attraction on the gold medal list, and the forecast numbers are so close that it also indicates that the competition will be extremely fierce.
On July 25, local time, the well-known American media "Sports Illustrated" released a forecast for the number of medals in each country at the Paris Olympics, predicting that the Chinese team will win 34 gold medals in this Olympic Games, ranking among the best. Among them, table tennis won all individual championships, and diving, weightlifting, and swimming won 7, 5, and 4 gold medals respectively.
After entering the new Olympic cycle, the traditional advantage of the United States team in swimming is far less than before, without a "gold medal family" like Phelps, the gold medal in the pool of the United States team will be divided by Australia, China and other countries; In emerging projects, many countries are also catching up......
