Of course, in this Olympics, the Chinese swimming team also left some regrets. Qin Haiyang, who was regarded as the favorite to win the 200m and 100m breaststroke, finally missed the two gold medals due to her poor performance. Zhang Yufei was also expected to win the 200m and 100m breaststroke, but in the end she only got 1 silver and 5 bronze medals.
At this year's Olympics, the Chinese delegation reaped a good harvest in several traditionally superior sports. The weightlifting, table tennis and shooting teams all won five gold medals, the swimming team won two gold, three silver and seven bronze medals, the boxing team won three gold and two silver medals, and the badminton team won two gold and three silver medals. One of the most gold medals at the Games came from Zheng Qinwen, who won the women's singles tennis title. However, in the popular track and field event, the Chinese team was really uncompetitive, with only one woman winning a gold medal in the 20 kilometers. The most embarrassing event was the three major ball sports in which the Chinese delegation was completely wiped out. The Chinese men's soccer team, the Chinese women's soccer team, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Chinese men's volleyball team did not make it to the Olympics. The Chinese women's basketball team stopped the group stage and the Chinese women's volleyball team stopped the top eight.
All in all, the performance of the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games remains excellent. I hope they can make a breakthrough in athletics and the three major sports in the next Olympics.
