Can you estimate how many medals China will win at the Tokyo Olympics?
The Tokyo Olympics will be postponed to 2021 due to the epidemic. The America's Cup, European Cup, and Asian Cup qualifiers will all be held in 2021. There is no doubt that this year 2021 will be counted as a sports year. The Chinese Olympic delegation also announced its entry list for the Tokyo Olympics. How many gold medals and medals can China win at the Tokyo Olympics? First, let’s review China’s number of gold medals in previous Olympic Games: In the 23rd Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, China won 15 gold medals. China won five gold medals at the 24th Hancheng Olympics in 1988. China won 16 gold medals at the 25th Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992. China won 16 gold medals at the 26th Atlanta Olympics in 1996 and 28 gold medals at the 27th Sydney Olympics in 2000. China won 32 Olympic gold medals at the 28th Athens Olympics in 2004. China won 51 gold medals at the 29th Beijing Olympics in 2008. China won 38 gold medals at the 30th London Olympics in 2012 and 26 gold medals at the 31st Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016. Looking at the previous Olympic Games that China has participated in, the Beijing Olympics won 51 gold medals, and the Tokyo Olympics should not exceed the Beijing Olympics. However, China has consistently ranked among the top three in the Olympic Games in recent years. So judging from the last five Olympic Games, I predict that the number of gold medals won by China in the Tokyo Olympics should be around 35. Please comment below. These are my opinions. If you have any different opinions, please leave a comment below.
China won 26 gold medals at the Rio Olympics, ranking third in the gold medal list.
On August 22, Beijing time, all events of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games came to an end. The Chinese delegation won 26 gold medals, 18 silver medals and 26 bronze medals at this Olympic Games, ranking third in the gold medal list.
In this competition, the Chinese Legion ushered in breakthroughs in taekwondo, cycling and other events. Table tennis, diving and other sports continued to dominate, but gymnastics, shooting and other sports also encountered Waterloo.
After many days of competition, the Chinese delegation won 26 gold medals, 18 silver medals, and 26 bronze medals, with a total of 70 medals, ranking third in the gold medal list and second in the medal list. In addition to the powerful American team, many people were surprised that the Chinese team was overtaken by the British team in the number of gold medals in this Olympics. The 26 gold medals were 12 less than the previous one, which was the worst record in the past five Olympic Games. The last time a Chinese delegation won less than 26 gold medals was at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
The reason why the Chinese delegation fell to third place in the gold medal list was not only due to poor overall performance but also the strong rise of the British delegation. But gold medals don't tell everything. In this competition, Chinese athletes broke 12 Olympic records, including 5 world records. 15-year-old diver Ren Qian became the first post-2000 Olympic champion in the Chinese delegation.
The Chinese delegation has made breakthroughs in many events of this Olympic Games, especially cycling and men's taekwondo, both of which won Olympic gold medals for the first time in history. On the women's team cycling track, the Chinese team's Olympic gold medal in cycling achieved zero breakthrough.
In the men's 58kg Taekwondo competition, 21-year-old Zhao Shuai won his first Olympic gold medal and became the biggest dark horse of the Chinese delegation. Interestingly, Zheng’s girlfriend also won a gold medal for the taekwondo team.
In addition to these two projects, the Chinese team also has good news in some basic projects. All gold medals in the men's and women's 20-kilometer race were won by Chinese athletes. The men's 4100-meter relay team finished fourth. Although he failed to stand on the podium, he also set a new record in the history of this project. Women's golf, which returned to the Olympic stage after 16 years, witnessed Feng Shanshan's medal breakthrough for the Chinese team on the 20th.
Table tennis, diving and weightlifting are the big gold medals for the Chinese delegation. They won all four gold medals in table tennis, and two players won the gold and silver medals in singles.
Among them, Ding Ning and Ma Long both won the Olympic championship for the first time in their careers and have made great achievements in the Grand Slam. He won 7 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal in 8 diving events. The only gold medal he missed was the men's synchronized 3-meter springboard event.
The weightlifting event started low and went high, with 5 gold medals and 2 silver medals, and 3 people set 4 world records. Table tennis, diving and weightlifting won 16 gold medals, accounting for the total number of gold medals.
In this Olympic Games, ***27 Beijing athletes participated in 18 major events. In the end, Lin Yue and his teammates won the men's synchronized 10-meter platform diving gold medal. This is the first gold medal won by Beijing athletes in this competition. Ding Ning and Ma Long won the women's and men's table tennis gold medals respectively, and both became "Grand Slam" players who won the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup singles championships.
Subsequently, Ding Ning and Ma Long cooperated with their teammates to win the women's team and men's team championships, helping the Chinese table tennis team win 4 gold medals. Cao Yuan won the gold medal in the men's 3-meter springboard diving competition. Because he won the men's 10-meter platform synchronized diving championship at the last Olympic Games, he became the first Chinese men's diving player in the history to win Olympic gold medals in both platform and springboard events.
Zhang Nan worked well with his teammates and won the badminton men's doubles championship, becoming the second mixed doubles and men's doubles gold medalist in Olympic badminton history.
Liu Xiaotong and her teammates inherited and carried forward the spirit of the women's volleyball team, winning the Olympic gold medal with the Chinese women's volleyball team for the first time in 12 years. In addition, Beijing athletes also won three bronze medals in badminton mixed doubles, diving men's synchronized 3-meter springboard and women's gymnastics team events.
