On 7 August, the Paris Olympics will enter the 12th day of competition. A total of 21 gold medals were awarded on this day, including 2 in weightlifting, 3 in wrestling, 2 in taekwondo, 1 in sport climbing, 1 in skateboarding, 4 in sailing, 2 in cycling, 2 in boxing, 5 in track and field, and 1 in synchronized swimming. The Chinese delegation has the opportunity to hit the podium and the top podium in weightlifting, synchronized swimming and taekwondo.
The weightlifting event officially started, and Li Fabin and Hou Zhihui tried to defend their titles
The weightlifting competition will officially kick off on this day, with the men's 61kg and women's 49kg competitions taking place on the first day. China's Li Fabin will compete in the men's 61kg category, while Hou Zhihui will compete in the women's 49kg category. The two are the defending champions and Olympic record holders in their respective events, and as long as they can play their part normally, the two gold medals are likely to belong to the Chinese delegation.
The synchronized swimming Chinese team has a large lead and has a high probability of winning the gold medal
After the previous collective technical selection and free selection competitions, the Chinese talent swimming team has a very obvious lead, nearly 70 points higher than the second place United States team. As long as they play steadily in the collective skill selection, this gold medal is almost in the bag of the Chinese Huayou team.
Track and field-marathon race walking mixed relay hit the podium, Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei competed in the 100-meter hurdles
A total of 5 gold medals were awarded on the day of the track and field event, and in the first marathon race walking relay competition, the Chinese team sent a combination of Zhang Jun/Liu Hong and He Xianghong/Qieyang Shijie to compete. The marathon race walking mixed relay is a new event at the Olympics, with Chinese veteran Liu Hong retiring and Yang Jiayu coming off the bench. Yang Jiayu and Sister Qieyang Shi are both Olympic race walking champions, and the two male players, He Xianghong and Zhang Jun, also have very strong strength. In this emerging event, the two Chinese pairs will be aiming for the podium.
The first round of the women's 100m hurdles will be held on this day, with two Chinese athletes, Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei, participating. Wu Yanni has been in good form this year, setting new PBs one after another, and Lin Yuwei is the gold medalist at last year's Asian Games in Hangzhou, and looks forward to the two Chinese girls performing well in the first round of the competition. According to the rules, even if you don't qualify directly in the preliminary round, you can still fight for a second chance to advance to the semifinals through the play-offs.
The men's 110m hurdles semi-finals will also be staged on this day, with two Chinese players, Qin Weibo and Xu Zhuoyi, competing in Group 1 and Group 3 respectively. Xu Zhuoyi qualified directly as the top team in the group, while Qin Weibo secured a place in the semi-finals through the repechage, hoping that the two Chinese players can perform well in the semi-finals.
