At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation showed its strong strength and demeanor, winning glory for the country, cheering for the people, and amazing the world.
At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese delegation sent a total of 777 athletes to participate in 30 major events and 227 minor events, setting a record high for overseas participation. After 16 days of fierce competition, the Chinese delegation finally finished with 38 gold, 32 silver and 18 bronze medals, a total of 88 medals, the number of gold medals and medals second only to the United States, the number of gold medals equaled the best results achieved in the 2012 London Olympic Games. This is a major breakthrough for Chinese sports in the shadow of the epidemic, and it is also a comprehensive display of Chinese sports under the whole project strategy.
Among the 88 medals, many of them are the traditional advantages of the Chinese delegation, such as weightlifting, diving, table tennis, shooting, badminton, gymnastics, etc., which have laid a solid foundation for the Chinese delegation and also demonstrated the profound heritage of Chinese sports. In these events, the Chinese delegation not only maintained its leading position, but also set a number of historical records, such as the weightlifting team won 7 golds and 1 silver in 8 categories, the diving team won 7 golds and 5 silvers in 8 small events, the table tennis team won 4 golds and 3 silvers in 5 individual events, the shooting team won 4 golds, 1 silver and 6 bronzes in one fell swoop, the badminton team reached the finals in all 5 individual events, and the gymnastics team won 3 golds, 3 silvers and 2 bronzes in various unfavorable factors.
In addition to these advantageous projects, it is even more gratifying that the Chinese delegation has also made breakthroughs in some basic and emerging sports, such as swimming, track and field, rowing, canoeing, sailing and windsurfing, cycling, fencing, etc., which have added a lot of brightness to the Chinese delegation and also reflected the diversification and innovation of Chinese sports. In these events, the Chinese delegation not only broke a number of world records and Asian records, but also achieved zero Olympic gold medals in many events, such as the track and field team won the women's shot put and women's javelin championship, the rowing team won the women's quadruple sculls, the canoeing team won the women's 500m double canoe, the sailing and windsurfing team won the women's windsurfing RS:X class, the track cycling team defended the championship in the women's team sprint, and the fencing team won the women's individual epee championship.
