“The Chinese delegation for the 2012 London Olympics was officially established in BJ on July 10, 2012.
The Chinese delegation has a total of 621 people, including 396 athletes. The number of athletes in the Chinese delegation at the BJ Olympics has reached a record of 639. They include 30 BJ Olympic champions such as Su Feng, Liu Yuxiang, Lin Dan, and Wang Hao, and 25 Athens athletes including Liu Xiang.
The Olympic champion will compete in London. The Chinese team will participate in 23 major events and 212 minor events in addition to football, handball and equestrian.
After the delegation list was announced, the list of most events was basically as expected. Only the weightlifting list was a big surprise. Tian Yuan, who has absolute strength in the women's 48 kg class, was not selected, and was replaced by Wang Mingjuan, a veteran who was not selected for the 2008 Chinese Olympic team;
In the women's 53kg category, an unfamiliar name appeared: Zhou Jun. This person's best result was only a bronze medal in the women's 58kg category at the Asian Weightlifting Championships. She will be downgraded to compete in the 53kg category.
In addition, although the media had previously reported that Su Wei and Wang Zhelin were not selected for the Chinese men's basketball team, the final list of the Chinese men's basketball team for the Olympics was announced, and it was still a bit surprising that these two popular insiders were not selected. Among the new men's basketball players, in the end
Entering the list is Guo Ailun.
On the badminton roster, Li Xuerui is as expected. Due to her outstanding performance in recent foreign competitions, she replaced Wang Shixian, who is ranked higher than herself in the world, to play in the women's singles competition."
"The 396 athletes in the Chinese team include 171 male athletes and 225 female athletes.
The average age of the athletes on the delegation is 24.68 years old. The youngest is Qiu Yuhan (14 years old) from the swimming team, and the oldest is Liu Yingzi (41 years old) from the flying saucer team. 152 athletes have participated in the Olympics, and 244 have not participated in the Olympics.
.
The average age is moderate, and the pattern of leading the new with the old has been formed, which will ensure the performance of athletes, especially young athletes, on the field. New athletes will also make greater progress after experiencing the Olympic Games, which will contribute to the science and technology of Chinese sports.
Contribute to sustainable development.”
On the afternoon of July 10, with the speech of Liu Peng, the head of the delegation, the Chinese national team for the 2012 London Olympics officially began its oath of departure.
Except for a few athletes, the athletes of the delegation will take a charter flight to London, England on July 17, and are expected to arrive on the morning of July 18 and check into the Olympic Village.
“It’s finally about to begin!” This is the view of most Chinese people at this moment.
After all, the 2008 Olympic Games brought too many beautiful memories and wonderful moments to all Chinese people.
Moreover, in recent years, China's national strength has been increasing day by day, and its national self-esteem and pride have been rising steadily. The Chinese nation just needs a platform to show itself.
The Olympic Games can undoubtedly carry this weight.
At this time, Weibo has already become a mature social platform. As soon as the news came out, countless Internet Vs and entertainment stars retweeted the news one after another. This was just to increase the popularity, but at the same time it also added fuel to the excitement of the Olympics.
Olympic-related topics, after months or even a year of brewing, finally officially exploded this summer.
The hottest topics, apart from Lin Dan and a few other athletes who are outside the industry, are two-time Olympic gold medalist Liu Yuxiang and BJ Olympic double gold medalist Su Feng.
"Liu Yuxiang has many opponents this time. Can we still win the championship?"
"Yeah, David Oliver, Jason Richardson, Aris Merritt from the United States, and Robles from Cuba, there are four of them, plus Liu Yuxiang, there are five. They are all about the same strength. Anyone can win the championship.
Ah. Especially Merritt, he ran the best result this year."
"Please, at the level of Olympic champion, how can there be no competition? Su Feng is not much better. Although there is only one competitor, he is very powerful, and there is only one champion.
Su Feng and Bolt haven't met yet this year. I think they are not sure they can beat each other, so they both took a step back temporarily.
To be able to make proud people like them back off shows that the competitive pressure between the two people is definitely very high."
"But there's no way they won't meet again in the Olympics. No matter who wins, I've been looking forward to it for a long time. I have a hunch that there might be a new world record for the 100 meters this time. Do the two of them have a chance?"
It’s stressful, but it’s also about holding back your ultimate move.”
"No way. The current world record is already 9.52 seconds. If we break the record again, can we still get under 9.5 seconds?"
"Of course, everyone is guessing now. Even my grandma has to tell people about the world record when she goes for a walk."
In fact, not only the country, but also the entire world are discussing the topic of Su Feng and Bolt, wondering whether they can break the world record.
This is the special nature of the 100-meter dash. Once the results reach the world record level, it will naturally transcend the boundaries of countries and nations and become a global topic.
All cultural and ethnic barriers no longer exist. All people want to know is where the limits of human beings are.
Even from the Chinese Internet, it can be seen that although netizens still prefer to let Su Feng win, there are actually more discussions about breaking the world record than just about Su Feng.
And the timing is perfect. Last year, the two were injured after a world-record-breaking competition, and they have never competed in the same field since.
Although this was done intentionally out of fear of over-competition before the Olympics, it has indeed aroused more speculation and expectations from audiences around the world about the two's current results.
"Alas, good fortune lies on the back of misfortune, and misfortune lies on the back of good fortune!"
On the way to the airport, Liu Yuxiang closed a newspaper and looked at Su Feng with some excitement.
"Let you two play tricks and avoid fighting before. Now it's okay. The whole world's attention is focused on you on the Olympic Games. And judging from the meaning of this public opinion, it seems that you two will definitely break the record. It's hot.
It’s already set up, just waiting for you to get on the pot!”
"It's a matter of fate. Who knew it would end up like this. In fact, we should have thought of it a long time ago. The more suppressed people's curiosity is, the stronger the rebound will be. However, the few games after last year's World Championships were to prevent further injuries.
, these games this year are before the Olympic Games, so it is normal for us to have such plans."
"Speaking of which, the influence of the 100-meter hurdles is indeed greater than that of the 110-meter hurdles. I am really jealous of this. You know that I compete more abroad, and track and field enthusiasts from various countries often ask me for news about you.
"
"Don't blame me. Bolt and I are like this. We have to wait and see for ourselves. You, on the other hand, have many opponents, especially Merritt. His momentum this year is very strong."
This is not something Su Feng said casually. Historically, it was Merritt who won the 110-meter hurdles championship in this Olympics. Although it was because Liu Yuxiang retired due to injury in the preliminaries. But Merritt ran the 110-meter hurdles this year.
The best result in the column is also real and cannot be ignored.
"You were talking about yourself just now, and I am the same. Who knows if you don't run. This is how sprinting is. As long as there are opponents of similar strength, the results are difficult to predict. Who can know if you don't run.
Will you still compete in the 100 meters, 200 meters and relay this year?"
"Yes, it's me, Zhang Peimeng, and Su Bingtian for the 100 meters. It's me, Zhang Peimeng, and Xie Zhenye for the 200 meters. For the relay, it's Zhang Peimeng, Chen Zhilong, Su Bingtian, and me."
"There's nothing much to say about the 100 meters and 200 meters, but in the relay, where do you plan to be? Do you want to get a card?"
Liu Yuxiang is really curious about this. Because he came back late, he doesn't even know about it, and the media is even less likely to find out, so he now knows nothing about the Chinese team's goals.
"This, externally, is the official saying, just run with good spirit, and at most we can reach the finals. But internally, our expectation is to maintain three places and compete for second place. We don't have to worry about the first place in this Olympics."
"You guys have no ambition." But even though he said that, thinking about the lineup of the Jamaican relay, Liu Yuxiang no longer had the intention to continue teasing.
Gatlin, Tyson Gayin and Su Feng of the American team can pull back some. But with Bolt in Jamaica, the advantages brought by Su Feng are gone. There are also Powell and Blake. The Chinese team wants to challenge this
Jamaica's hard power is indeed still a little behind. Even in Su Feng's plan, it will have to wait until Xie Zhenye grows up and Su Bingtian breaks out completely. Then at the next Olympics, the Chinese team can really have a chance to compete with Jamaica.
