How important is an Olympic gold medal in which Wang Chuqin said he was willing to give his life before the game and made Sun Yingsha say "We have fought a turnaround" after the game?
Probably Liu Shiwen, who was sitting next to Olympic Committee President Bach in the stands today, has the most right to speak.
At the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen's "Xinwen Network" combination was reversed 3-4 by the Japan combination Mizutani Hayabusa/Ito Misei and missed the gold medal in the event, which for a time stirred up a thousand waves of the domestic Internet.
Although he did not directly win the gold medal in the clash with Japan this time, the "Shatou Combination" also experienced a lot of challenges along the way.
In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, they faced Chinese Taipei and Korea respectively, and both of them caught up from behind, and finally won the match.
In the final, facing the "Mysterious Division" North Korean combination, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha once again played a familiar game score of 4-2.
helped the Chinese table tennis team win the first mixed doubles championship in team history, and it was also the first gold medal in table tennis at the Paris Olympics & the sixth gold medal for the Chinese sports delegation in this Olympic Games!
The rain in Tokyo finally did not "drench Paris" again.
After yesterday's day of "boredom", the gold medal account of the Chinese delegation has finally been "opened" again!
Table tennis is also worthy of the "national ball", and the ratings of the same period are far ahead, according to statistics, a total of 100 million people watched the game through CCTV five sets (not including other new media platforms).
However, there were still some "accidents" after the game, Wang Chuqin's racket was photographed broken after the game (it was stepped on by the photographer during the celebration), and he was also emotional and wanted to report it.
After that, Wang Chuqin also had the men's team and men's singles (against Moregaard) matches, and it is not yet known whether the motherboard will be broken and will affect the state of the players.
But Wang Chuqin still said more confidently: You can also play well with a sub-racket, maybe this is the will of God.
At the award ceremony, Liu Guoliang, the current executive vice president of the International Table Tennis Federation, presented the award to the "Shatou Combination" and affectionately patted Wang Chuqin's face.
Many fans have said: This is probably the same "touching face" as Ma Long back then!
The "Shatou Combination" contributed a very perfect start to the national table tennis in the Paris Olympics, and it is expected that the national table tennis will continue to show the glory of the national ball and win the gold medal!
