Olympic Spirit, China’s Power ｜ China’s traditional advantage project continues to write legendary applause and glory behind hard work.

CCTV News:Some people say that the charm of competitive sports lies in the uncertainty of results. But for the audience who like weightlifting, diving and table tennis in China, there are not many opportunities to experience the fun of this uncertainty. Although it is a bit "Versailles" to say this, these three traditional advantages of China won 18 gold medals in this Tokyo Olympic Games, and many projects won the championship and runner-up, continuing to write brilliantly.

The first enumerated heavy gold medal in the history of China Olympic Games came from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, which was won by Ceng Guoqiang in the men’s 52kg event. China weightlifting team is a veritable "gold medal winner". In this Tokyo Olympic Games, China’s weightlifting team still performed brilliantly, and its achievements of 7 gold medals and 1 silver were amazing. In men’s weightlifting, there were four men and four gold medals, among which the total scores of Li Fabin, Chen Lijun and Lv Xiaojun all broke the Olympic record, while the total score of Shi Zhiyong broke the world record. Four women weightlifters won three gold medals and one silver, among which Hou Zhihui and Li Wenwen both broke the Olympic record. China’s "Heavenly Weightlifting Team" created China’s strength legend with its perfect report card.

When it comes to China diving team, Chinese people often regard it as the "dream team". Since Zhou Jihong won the first Olympic medal for the China team in 1984, this gold medalist has won 47 Olympic gold medals, and created several diving legends such as Gao Min, Fu Mingxia and Guo Jingjing. At this Tokyo Olympic Games, China’s diving legend continued, winning 7 gold medals and 5 silver medals, winning the first and second place in 4 events. In addition to the gratifying results, the newcomers emerging in this diving team are also eye-catching. "Surprise combination" Chen Yuxi and Zhang Jiaqi, two girls with an average age of only 16 years old, led the way in the competition and won the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform gold medal without any suspense; Quan Hongchan, who was only 14 years old, even staged the "water spray disappearing" in the women’s 10m platform final, and the "three-jump perfect score" broke the highest score record in Olympic history. Before, some veterans went out to continue to write brilliant stories, and after that, some teenagers rose and new stars shone. Diving Dream Team keeps the legend of China shining in the Olympic Games.

Table tennis was officially listed as an event in the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988. So far, the China table tennis team has won 32 of all 37 gold medals in the 9th Olympic Games. In this Olympic Games, China table tennis team won 4 gold medals and 3 silver medals, but only the mixed doubles event regretted losing the gold medal. Among them, the men’s doubles and women’s doubles events achieved four consecutive Olympic championships, while the women’s singles events achieved nine consecutive Olympic championships, and the 32-year-old Malone became the first person to win the Olympic table tennis men’s singles championship, and became the player who won the most Olympic gold medals in the history of the national table tennis team with a proud score of 5 gold medals. Some netizens said that you can always trust the China table tennis team. In fact, what we believe is not the unbeaten legend, but their determination, belief and courage to keep fighting for the glory of the national ball.

It is not easy to achieve a legend, but it is even more difficult to continue it. Behind the applause and glory are the athletes’ silent persistence and hard work under great pressure.

Liu Guoliang, President of China Table Tennis Association:Everyone has worked hard for five years and everyone has paid a lot. This huge pressure is unimaginable to ordinary people, but we gritted our teeth and did it. What’s important is that we have demonstrated the fighting capacity, cohesion and the spirit of unity of the China team to the people and the world at an extremely difficult time.
