On July 30, 2024, the mixed doubles table tennis event at the Paris Olympics ushered in an exciting finale. The Chinese table tennis team has set foot on this land of glory with the firm goal of making up for the regret of losing gold in the mixed doubles event of the last Olympic Games. As the main combination of national table tennis, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are not only ranked first in the world, but also the champions of the World Table Tennis Championships twice.
The dark horse rises, and the North Korean combination shows its mysterious power
However, the road to the championship is always full of thorns. North Korea's Lee Jung-sik and Kim Jin-young, with their mysterious and powerful dark horse characteristics, defeated a number of strong opponents in a row, and successfully advanced to the final. Their outstanding performance has undoubtedly added a lot of challenges to the road to the national table tennis championship.
On the way to the promotion, the Chinese combination showed tenacity
Looking back at the Chinese pair's path to qualifying, they showed their strength with a 4-0 win over Assal/Meshev in the first round. In the second round, they faced Lin Yunru/Chen Siyu, who chased four games in a row after falling behind, and won 4-2. In the third round, they again eliminated Korea's Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin 4-2 to successfully advance to the final. In every game, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha showed perseverance and tacit cooperation.
The North Korean combination was overwhelmed, defeating strong opponents in succession
Meanwhile, North Korea's Lee Jung-sik/Kim Jin-young's path to the cut was also eye-catching. They defeated Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata, Carlsen/Christina and Huang Zhenting/Du Kaiqin in a row, and entered the final as dark horses, which undoubtedly brought huge pressure to the national table tennis.
The bronze medal was contested, and the Korea team had the last laugh
In the bronze medal match, Korea's Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin battled Hong Kong's Wong Chun-ting/To Hoi Kwan. In the end, Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin defeated their opponents 4-0 (11-5, 11-7, 11-7, 14-12) to win the bronze medal. Wong Chun Ting/To Hoi Kim were slow to heat up in the opening stages, unable to effectively respond to their opponents' attacks, and made more unnecessary mistakes. Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin were well-prepared and played steadily, successfully locking up the bronze medal.
In the final showdown, the national table tennis and North Korea staged a pinnacle battle
In the final, China's Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and North Korea's Lee Jung-sik/Kim Qin-young staged a pinnacle battle. The two sides go back and forth, and the score rises alternately. At critical moments, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha showed excellent adjustment ability and perseverance. In the third game, they beat up 8-9 and scored three points in a row to win the game. In the sixth game, they held their ground and sealed the victory 11-8, and finally won the gold medal with a score of 4-2 (11-6, 7-11, 11-8, 11-5, 7-11, 11-8).
At the moment of glory, the national table tennis won the first Olympic mixed doubles gold medal
With the victory of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, the Chinese team won the sixth gold medal at the Paris Olympics and the first gold medal in table tennis. This gold medal not only made up for the regret of the last Olympic Games for the national table tennis, but also created a new history - Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha won the first Olympic mixed doubles gold medal for the national table tennis. Their outstanding performance and indomitable fighting spirit have undoubtedly added a new chapter to the glory of national table tennis.
The significance is far-reaching, and the national table tennis continues to write a brilliant chapter
The significance of this gold medal lies not only in its historicity and glory, but also in the fact that it has laid a solid foundation for the future of national table tennis. The outstanding performance of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha has undoubtedly set an example for the younger generation of national table tennis, and their perseverance and tacit cooperation will also become an important weapon for national table tennis to win championships in the future. At the same time, this gold medal is also the best reward for the long-term hard work and unremitting efforts of the Chinese table tennis team.
Looking forward to the future, national table tennis will continue to write a new chapter
Looking forward to the future, the Chinese table tennis team will continue to uphold the Olympic spirit of "faster, higher, stronger" and continue to pursue excellence and breakthroughs. They will take this mixed doubles gold medal as a new starting point and continue to show the charm and strength of Chinese table tennis in the international arena. At the same time, they will continue to cultivate and discover more young talents, injecting new vitality and hope into the future of national table tennis. I believe that in the coming days, the Chinese table tennis team will continue to write their own glorious chapter.
