Four surprises in the half of the Olympic Games: tennis occupies two, the Chinese women's volleyball team is on the list, and Flying Fish exceeds expectations
The half of the Olympic Games is full of surprises, and tennis holds up half the sky
Surprise 1: Zheng Qinwen turned the tables against the wind and sent the Chinese tennis women's singles to the Olympic finals for the first time
This semi-final was the pinnacle of Zheng's career. Just two days ago, she had already defeated a strong opponent in the heat, and her physical strength was close to the limit. However, against world No. 1 Swiatek, who had never beaten her before, she still played well, sweeping her opponent 6-2, 7-5 to make personal history and become the first Chinese tennis player to reach the Olympic women's singles final. The tenacious struggle and outstanding performance of this post-95 teenager are undoubtedly a highlight of this Olympic Games.
Surprise 2: The miracle of the temporary partner, the Chinese mixed doubles won the silver
After Zheng Qinwen played in singles, he had to abandon the mixed doubles match. Zhang Zhizhen, who temporarily found a partner, played with Wang Xinyu unprepared, but the two of them went all the way to the finals. In the final summit showdown, they led 8-6 at one point, only two points away from the gold medal, but unfortunately won the silver medal in the end. However, this is already the first Olympic medal for Chinese tennis in the mixed doubles event, which is undoubtedly a historic breakthrough.
Surprise 3: The Chinese women's volleyball team counterattacked and returned to the top
The Chinese women's volleyball team, which was previously considered to be in a serious situation, reversed in the group of death. They beat United States 3-2 and France 3-0 to qualify one round earlier and reach the last eight. In these two key matches, Li Yingying and Zhu Ting's outstanding performances were particularly eye-catching. Li Yingying has repeatedly broken out in key battles, and Zhu Ting's all-round performance has also been well received. It seems that the Chinese women's volleyball team has regained its form and is expected to create glory in the subsequent games.
Surprise 4: Poon Chin-lok broke the world record and became the new favorite of swimming
In the swimming arena, Pan Zhanle's performance is undoubtedly the biggest surprise. In the men's 100m freestyle final, he not only won the gold medal with a time of 46.40 seconds, but also broke his own world record by 0.4 seconds. Such a result not only shocked the audience, but also completely convinced the opponent. After the game, the Australian athletes, who were originally cold to Chinese athletes, also took the initiative to offer blessings and praises to Pan Zhanle. The breakthrough performance of this post-90s player is undoubtedly a highlight of this Olympic Games.
In general, in the middle of the Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation handed over a brilliant report card. The tennis event was particularly impressive, with not only the women's singles making history, but also the mixed doubles winning silver medals. At the same time, the Chinese women's volleyball team and swimming projects also handed over beautiful answers. I believe that in the second half of the race, the Chinese army will bring us more surprises and joy!
The Chinese Legion is gaining momentum
With the successive breakthroughs in tennis, the achievements of the Chinese army in this Olympic Games are becoming more and more dazzling. In addition to the highlights mentioned above, what other surprises await us?
First of all, we can't ignore the performance of table tennis. Table tennis has always been China's strong point, and this time will be no exception. Although there is no tough battle yet, as long as the performance is normal, the Chinese players will definitely dominate this event again. Tomokazu Zhangmoto, Misei Ito and other strong opponents are certainly strong, but in the face of our table tennis masters, they are still out of reach. I believe that after a break some time ago, the table tennis players of the Chinese team will definitely make a splash in the next competition and win glory for the motherland.
When it comes to the epee event, the Chinese team is also eye-catching in this unpopular event. Xie Yingxue and Sun Yanjun performed well, and with their excellent tactical coordination and on-the-spot performance, they defeated strong opponents one after another to advance to the final. The rise of this pair of young players has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the Chinese epee, and it is expected that they can show their skills in the final and win the gold medal.
Not only that, but the Chinese diving team is also a highlight. Although Zhang Jiaqi missed the Olympics due to injury, other rising stars in the team have emerged. For example, China's new generation of teenager You Hao, who won the gold medal in the men's 10-meter platform diving final with his outstanding performance, successfully succeeded Zhang Jiaqi. The performance of Wang Han and other players was also excellent, laying a solid foundation for the future development of Chinese diving.
It can be said that in this half of the Olympic Games, the Chinese army has handed over a brilliant report card whether it is tennis, table tennis, epee or diving. Their outstanding performance not only won honors, but also attracted the attention of the whole world. It is believed that in the follow-up competitions, Chinese athletes will create more brilliance and win glory for the motherland. We are proud of their courage and strength, and we are confident that they will create more amazing moments!
