CCTV News (Evening News): In the Olympic gymnastics men's parallel bars final held on August 5, Zou Jingyuan won the gold medal with an impeccable performance, thus defending his title in their respective events together with Liu Yang, who won the rings championship on August 4. They defended the honor of Chinese gymnastics with their actions, and they also interpreted the Olympic spirit of never giving up and fighting to the end.
Liu Yang: "The King of Rings" deserves its name
Liu Yang, as a senior coffee lover of the gymnastics team, may not be familiar to everyone. But his handsome head-twisting action in the rings at the Tokyo Olympics is believed to impress many people. Of the six individual events in men's gymnastics, the rings favour the most powerful athletes. After becoming an Olympic champion, Liu Yang is still pushing the limits. The format of the Paris Olympics is different from that of the Tokyo Olympics, and as a single athlete, Liu Yang has practiced vaulting and floor exercise in order to contribute more strength to the team competition in his third Olympic journey. These two projects that test explosiveness and leg strength are obviously not Liu Yang's forte, and they also pose greater challenges to him in injury prevention and disease prevention, but Liu Yang did not retreat because of this.
Liu Yang, a member of the Chinese gymnastics team: One is to fulfill his dream of winning the Olympic team gold medal, and then it is also one of his goals, to make more contributions to the cause of gymnastics.
In the gymnastics men's team final, Liu Yang performed well and scored a high score of 15.500 in the rings event. Although he regretted missing out on the team gold medal, Liu Yang quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to compete in his rings individual competition, defending the honor of the "King of Rings" with his strength.
Liu Yang: I still want to continue practicing in the past three years, one of my main goals is to win the gold medal in the team, and winning the gold medal in the rings can be regarded as completing one of my goals. But it's still a pity for the team, if I can change it, I'm willing to use my card to exchange for the team's gold medal.
Zou Jingyuan: "The strongest parallel bars" is flawless
The interests of the team are higher than the interests of the individual, and like Liu Yang, Zou Jingyuan also set off again after experiencing the haze of the men's team's failure to rush for gold. In the rings final, he also played extremely well, and when he saw Liu Yang's score surpassing his own, he applauded with tears in his eyes, because he knew that the gold medal of the Chinese team was finally secured.
Zou Jingyuan, a member of the Chinese gymnastics team: I thought about the next step, 15.2, which is to pave the way for Brother Yang more.
In the parallel bars final on August 5, Zou Jingyuan and his teammate Zhang Boheng once again went out in the form of "double insurance", with only one goal, that is, to raise the five-star red flag on the top of the Olympic arena again. This time, Zou Jingyuan excelled in his strengths, earning a high score of 16.200 with an almost impeccable performance and successfully defending his title. Three years ago at the Tokyo Olympics, he was the youngest member of the men's team, and now Zou Jingyuan has grown into a mainstay. Parallel bars are a traditional strength of the men's gymnastics team, and China has won four Olympic parallel bars gold medals before anyone has been able to defend their title. In Paris, Zou Jingyuan rewrote this history.
Zou Jingyuan: It's just that every day is a game, to do the best, and then to go to the game, maybe the pressure of the game is more cruel, but we can only train more brutally than the game, every time is a new challenge.
