Recently, the competitions of the Paris Olympics are still in full swing.
Like us ordinary people, many stars in the entertainment industry are always paying attention to the progress of the competition, and when it comes to the gold competition, they will also speak out openly and cheer for our Olympic athletes.
There are also many celebrities such as Su Xing, Jia Ling, Liu Shishi, Jin Chen, etc., who went to the Paris Olympics in person to cheer for the players.
There were many surprises at this Olympic Games, such as the gold medal won by young shooter Xie Yu in the men's 10m air pistol event.
In the men's 100-meter freestyle final in the early morning of August 1, Chinese player Pan Zhanle broke the world record with a time of 46.40 seconds and won the championship.
This is not only the first gold medal won by the Chinese swimming team in this Olympic Games, but also the first Olympic gold medal in the men's 100-meter freestyle in Chinese history.
Of course, the biggest charm of competitive sports is uncertainty.
In this Olympic Games, a lot of unexpected things have happened, such as in the gymnastics men's team final held a few days ago, Su Weide accidentally "fell off the bar" twice to bury the good game, and the Chinese team finally ranked second with a slight score difference of 0.532 points.
It is also difficult to find that in the second round of the men's singles table tennis at the Paris Olympics, the top seed and world No. 1 Wang Chuqin lost to Sweden's Moregard 2:4.
The day before the competition, Wang Chuqin had just won the championship in the mixed doubles final with Sun Yingsha.
After coming to the singles court, Wang Chuqin's form fluctuated, and he was reversed in the first game, and then made continuous mistakes, and finally left the court in an upset.
One of the reasons why Wang Chuqin's upset loss was so concerned was that the audience had high expectations, and another reason was that his racket was stepped on by the photographer the day before the game, so he had to use a spare racket to compete.
This is also considered to be one of the reasons for Wang Chuqin's loss.
Some netizens were dissatisfied with Wang Chuqin's loss, thinking that the failure should not be blamed on the racket, Zhang Yining also changed the racket before the game, but it did not affect the performance, in the final analysis, it is still poor strength and unstable mentality.
So, how much impact did the broken racket have on Wang Chuqin, let's listen to what the professionals say.
On the evening of August 1, a media reporter contacted Ai Fukuhara, a retired star in Japan's table tennis world, through video connection, and asked her opinion on "Wang Chuqin's racket was trampled on".
Ai Fukuhara said from the perspective of a professional table tennis player: "It is very important for me that the racket cannot be touched by strangers, and no matter how familiar the makeup artist or photographer is, I will not let them touch my board, and I will be angry." ”
Ai Fukuhara also talked about the process of athletes choosing a motherboard, which is to select a board from thirty or forty boards, and then select a sub-board according to this standard, but the wood of each board cannot be exactly the same, and the weight and center of gravity are also different.
In order to avoid ups and downs during the game, athletes generally use genuine training, and table tennis is an indoor sport, with different humidity and temperature, the feeling is different. Just like jade, it is definitely different from the one you bring back every day and the one you buy it again.
Ai Fukuhara continued: "It is impossible for us professional athletes to touch this sponge on the racket, because the rubber is sticky, just to rub the ball, have you noticed that the athlete has been angry at the racket, and has been rubbing, just not to let the dirt stick to this sponge." ”
"Athletes don't like to be picked up with their own boards, so when they break, it's a bit like they're missing a piece of meat."
Ni Xialian, a 61-year-old Luxembourg table tennis player, also recorded a video in response to the incident, saying that "Wang Chuqin's racket was trampled on" was a flying disaster, which was fatal to the athlete's competition performance.
In response to this incident, some media contacted the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, and they responded: "This matter is currently being investigated to ensure that such things will not happen again." ”
