2023-10-01

As the Hangzhou Asian Games are approaching its halfway point, Zhang Xin, the Secretary General of the Chinese Sports Delegation, stated on the 30th that Chinese athletes' performance in the first half of the Games can "score 90 points". Overall, their performance and total number of gold medals have exceeded pre competition expectations, and they have created many valuable good results. However, there are still regrets in certain events, and there is still a long way to go in preparing for the Paris Olympics. At the last Jakarta Asian Games, the Chinese team won a total of 132 gold medals. Zhang Xin stated that the total number of gold medals won by the delegation at this Asian Games is expected to exceed 180. The Chinese sports delegation has exceeded expectations and has been at the top of the gold medal table since the first day of the competition. As of noon on the 30th, it has won 107 gold medals. Regarding the performance of the Chinese delegation, Zhang Xin believes that the start was good and maintained a good momentum of winning gold medals. "The total number of gold medals exceeded the high line predicted before the competition, and the overall performance was better than expected. In addition to the total number of gold medals, the Chinese delegation has made multiple breakthroughs in swimming, shooting, gymnastics, skateboarding, and other events, with excellent performance in many small events. Zhang Xin stated that in the first half of the competition, the Chinese team achieved a number of highly valuable results, breaking 2 world records, 7 Asian records, and 16 Asian Games records (excluding record breaking in the preliminary rounds). They achieved the world's best results in multiple events this year, meeting the standard of winning gold at the World Championships or Olympics. In addition, Zhang Xin believes that the interplay of veteran and new talents is also a major highlight of the Chinese delegation in the first half of the Asian Games. Veterans such as Ma Long, who has won three Olympic championships, and Wang Shun, who won the men's 200m medley gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, all maintained good athletic form and bravely won the gold medal at the Asian Games. In 2012, Olympic champion Ye Shiwen returned to the Asian Games after 9 years and won the women's 200 meter breaststroke. 36-year-old rower Zhang Liang has won gold medals in four consecutive Asian Games. Under the leadership and encouragement of veteran athletes, a group of young athletes have emerged, bravely shouldered heavy responsibilities, and performed outstandingly, "said Zhang Xin. In the concluded Asian Games, shooter Huang Yuting, who was under 18 years old, won three gold medals in the 10m air rifle individual, team, and mixed team. Cui Chenxi, the youngest member of the delegation, won the gold medal in women's street style skateboarding. 18-year-old track cyclist Yuan Liying, along with her teammates, broke the Asian Games and Asian records three times in a row in the women's team race preliminaries and finals. The preparation for the Paris Olympics has a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. The Hangzhou Asian Games and the Paris Olympics are less than a year apart, so this Asian Games is an important training session for Chinese athletes to prepare for the Paris Olympics, and their performance is even related to the "tickets" of the Olympics. Zhang Xin revealed that out of the 9 events that have directly qualified for the Paris Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation has obtained qualifications for 7 events, including 3 sailing events, 2 modern pentathlons, and 2 tennis events. In addition, 11 swimming events reached the Olympic A-standard at the Hangzhou Asian Games (excluding those that had previously met the standard and those that met the standard again at the Asian Games), preliminarily achieving the goal of qualifying for the Paris Olympics as soon as possible before the competition. "Zhang Xin admitted that while the delegation achieved excellent results overall, it was also
