"Come on, China! Come on, Xiang Jun! "
This is a circle of friends posted by Sun Wenyan at 14: 11 on July 24th, with a picture of Hunan weightlifter Hou Zhihui before playing.
Time is back. This Olympic Games has just begun.
Hou Zhihui's steadiness, Chen Lijun's whisper and Liao Qiuyun's fight!
On the weightlifting platform in Tokyo from July 24th to 26th, three Hunan Hercules won 2 gold and 1 silver with almost perfect performance, which made a smooth start for the Xiang Army in the Olympic Games.
3 people, 17 attempted lift, 15 succeeded, with a total score of 211 kg, 332 kg, 223 kg ... Behind these figures, there were Hou Zhihui's calm first gold, the Jedi counterattack of the Chenli Army, and Liao Qiuyun's fight to the end; Behind these figures are the athletes' determination to make unremitting efforts for their dreams and stick to the end. It is the result of generations of Hunan weightlifters' continuous pursuit of Excellence in training, and it is also a domineering interpretation of "China's power" by the weightlifting Xiang Army.
"I want to mention in particular that we only have one silver medal. Liao Qiuyun gave full play to his level and won the respect of his opponent." After the game, Zhou Jinqiang, director of the management center of lifting and wrestling in the State Sports General Administration and chairman of the China Weightlifting Association, specifically mentioned the silver medal of Yongzhou girl Liao Qiuyun, who said that her opponent played a super high level, but "but we have no regrets and will continue to strengthen ourselves after returning."
Rowing makes history, wrestling meets breakthrough
China rowing team is not a spectator at the Haizhisen Water Arena in Tokyo from July 23rd to 31th.
For this sport which has been monopolized by Europeans for a long time, every paddle China paddles forward in the Olympic Games is likely to make a new history.
6 minutes 13.63 seconds, bronze medal in men's synchronized sculls! On July 28th, Sean, a 34-year-old veteran of our province, and his partner Liu Zhiyu won the first medal of China men's rowing in the history of the Olympic Games. After the game, Sean said excitedly, "This medal is in my heart, which is the' gold medal'!"
According to statistics, Sean paddles at least 13,211 kilometers and paddles 661,111 times every year, and all the rest periods add up to less than one month. Sean's training and super color self-discipline are not only famous in the national team, but also a kind of "spirit" in the Hunan rowing team. He is almost the idol of all teams.
"The honor and influence that Sean has brought to our team and coaching staff is more than just a medal!" Qu Feng, the leader of Hunan rowing team, said emotionally that this kind of "model spirit and idol power" has been passed down from generation to generation, which is the secret of Hunan rowing team's success.
In the highlight moment of Hunan rowing in Tokyo, besides "tough guy" Sean, there is also "heroine" Wang Yuwei. On July 31th, Wang Yuwei and her partners won the bronze medal in the women's eight-person single oar helmsman final with a score of 6: 1121. This is the second time that China has won an Olympic medal in this event after 33 years.
This women's eight singles team was re-established in May this year, and many of its members were integrated from other boats, covering Wang Yuwei from the sun. Before that, she was in the sculls team. It is a big challenge for Wang Yuwei, who has rich Olympic experience, to change events at 1: 11 every 111 days before the game. "Being able to climb the podium depends on the strength of the team, especially thanks to the efforts of the entire support team and thanks to the motherland!" Wang Yuwei said.
This time, there is also wrestling in Hunan, which makes people shine and surprise constantly.
The combination of "Qian" and "Pride" is unparalleled —— On August 2nd, Yueyang sister Zhou Qian won the bronze medal in women's freestyle 76kg class and won the first Olympic medal in Hunan wrestling. Four days later, Pang Qianyu, a female freestyle 53kg player and Xiangtan girl, was born with a calf that was not afraid of tigers. She successfully reached the final and finally won a precious bronze medal, setting the best result in Hunan wrestling Olympic Games!
"The days are still long. Tokyo is a new starting point. I will take it back!" For Pang Qianyu, who is not yet 25, this is just her "first Olympic experience", and the road ahead is still very long.
In addition, in the women's 4 111-meter relay race final, Hunan sprinters Guifen Huang and Wei Yongli made concerted efforts to re-enter the Olympic finals after 21 years, and ran 42.71 seconds, finishing sixth, setting a new record for the Olympic Games (previously eighth).
The veteran leads a hard life, but the newcomer is quite energetic.
Looking back on the trip of Xiang Army to Tokyo in this Olympic Games, it is quite appropriate to summarize it with "Ginger is still old and spicy" and "After the waves surge, it will live up to its youth".
This time, the 16-member Olympic Xiang Army takes the old and brings the new, including Sean, 34, Wang Yuwei, Zhou Yu, 31, and Sun Wenyan, 32, and a group of post-91s new forces such as Hou Zhihui, Jia Yifan and Pang Qianyu.
with the spirit of going all out and courageously striving for the first place, they showed the elegant demeanour of "the veteran wins, and the newcomer dominates" in the Hunan Sports Army, and realized the good momentum of Hunan athletes blossoming in various events.
for several "31+" veterans, it is not easy for them to come to Tokyo smoothly. Because of the epidemic, the original four-year Olympic Games cost athletes five years for the first time. This extra year, veterans not only have to grit their teeth, but also have to maintain their competitive advantage in various projects, which is really not easy.
in the end, the veterans cut through the thorns in Tokyo, living up to expectations and showing their general demeanor!
In the young people's sports field, seven show, a rising star in Hunan Province, also displayed the "overbearing spirit" of "my life is not up to me".
Hou Zhihui, a 24-year-old sister in Guiyang, has gone from being replaced by a cold shoulder in Rio to being in a trough and suffering from injuries, and then going to Tokyo to prove herself ... at a young age and a small head, she has great energy!
Jia Yifan, the same 24-year-old badminton player, and Chen Qingchen, her partner, bravely fought their way out of the "death group" and finally brought the Guoyu women's doubles back to the finals.
Pang Qianyu, who fought in the Olympic Games for the first time, became the first member of the Chinese wrestling team to reach the finals in this Olympic Games. "When I went up, I thought I could chew my bones and play myself boldly!" Pang Qianyu said.
Liao Qiuyun, a 26-year-old girl from Yongzhou, was troubled by injuries for a long time in the past, but she was able to lift 3 kilograms more than during training and fight for her last bullet. After failing to win in Tokyo, she wiped her tears and said, "I really tried my best."
11 medals, perfect. The future Olympic Xiang Army is worth looking forward to. See you in Paris in three years!
