With the outstanding performances of Liu Xiang and Xing Huina in Athens Olympic Games, China won two gold medals in track and field. Four years later, Liu Xiang is still the most powerful gold spot in China. In addition, Zhou Chunxiu is also expected to defend the honor for the female track and field athletes in China in the women's marathon. At the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Zhou Chunxiu won the runner-up in the women's marathon in 2 hours, 30 minutes and 45 seconds, which is also the best result achieved by women marathoners in China in the world competition. In the previous London Marathon, Zhou Chunxiu also won the championship in 2 hours, 20 minutes and 38 seconds, setting a precedent for Asian athletes to win the championship, and her performance at that time also topped the list in 2007. In the Beijing Olympic Games, Zhou Chunxiu, who plays at home, does not have to overcome the influence of external factors such as time difference, climate and diet. In addition, with the increase of her competition experience, the thing of hating Athens in 2004 will definitely not happen again. She is also very promising to win a precious gold medal for China track and field, and is also expected to become the first female athlete in China to win a marathon gold medal, breaking the monopoly of European, American, Japanese and non-athletes.
beach volleyball
As a small event of volleyball, although the attention of sand volleyball in China is far less than that of women's volleyball team, China men's and women's sand volleyball will double attack at the Beijing Olympic Games, which is expected to achieve good results. Tian Jia/Wang Jie and Xue Chen/Zhang Xi will form the double insurance of China women's volleyball team. Tian Jia/Wang Jie is slightly better in age and experience, and occupies a certain advantage in the world rankings, and the youth of Xue Chen/Zhang Xi is one of their own advantages. These two couples have won silver medals and gold medals in the World Championships and the Asian Games respectively, and their steadily rising achievements in recent years have also made them rank high on the Tour. Among the male athletes, Wu Penggen/Xu Jiang is the only team in China to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games. Although they don't have the team advantage of the women's team, they reached the finals of the Tour many times in 2008, showing everyone the hope of winning the championship. Wei Jizhong, the new president of FIVB, predicted that sand volleyball, especially women's sand volleyball, is "the most likely small event to create surprises", and the above six people will also undertake the arduous task of making a breakthrough in China sand volleyball.
Badminton men's doubles
As a traditional advantage project of China Legion, the badminton team will also send the strongest team for the Beijing Olympic Games. In men's singles, women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles, China has gained something in previous Olympic Games, and the strength of men's doubles also makes China hope to achieve a breakthrough in men's doubles at the Beijing Olympic Games, and the former world number one Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng combination will undoubtedly shoulder the heavy responsibility of gold panning in China. The rise of Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng, a men's doubles team, has given the traditional "lame" event of China Badminton Team the weight to compete with other strong teams. The World Championship champion and the ranking first in the world have proved that Fengyun Team has a world-class competitive level. Although the poor performance of Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng in a series of international competitions has dropped to the third place in the world, as the China Men's Team, it is the best.
gymnastics
As many as 14 gold medals and highly ornamental competitions, gymnastics has always been a beautiful landscape in the Olympic Games. Compared with other events, China men's gymnastics has certain advantages over women's gymnastics. Team, all-around and rings, parallel bars and pommel horse will also be the key events for China men's gymnastics team to win gold. In contrast, the best results of China women's gymnastics in previous Olympic Games are concentrated on the traditional advantages such as balance beam and uneven bars, and the Beijing Olympic Games will be the best opportunity for China women's team to make breakthroughs in women's team, vault and floor exercise. The 2006 Aarhus World Championships is the pinnacle of women's gymnastics in China. The overall stable performance and balanced team configuration made the China women's team win the women's team championship unexpectedly. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, with the maturity of the leading figure Cheng Fei and the appearance of Yang Yilin and Jiang Yuyuan, the China women's team still hopes to bring surprises to the women's team events. Although the unfavorable competition system and the overall strength of the United States make it more difficult for China to win the championship, it should not be surprising if they can seize the excellent opportunity at home and win the title of world champion from the United States. In addition, with the China women's team attaching importance to the training of leg strength, "lame" events such as vault and floor exercise have also performed well in recent world championships. Cheng Fei, the world champion, is undoubtedly the hope of the China women's team in these two events, while young players such as Jiang Yuyuan and Yang Yilin also have good strength.
In addition to the above-mentioned popular projects, China Legion also has the ability to make breakthroughs in some unpopular projects. Zou Shiming, the world champion, will be China's hope to win the gold medal in the small boxing competition. If he can win the gold medal as he wishes, it will be the first gold medal won by China Legion in boxing, which is of great significance. As for cycling, China cycling team, which failed to win gold in successive Olympic Games, has shifted its focus of winning gold from venue events to mountain events. Compared with track events, mountain biking is more dependent on terrain, so China has a certain home advantage, and Ren Chengyuan, who has made great achievements in the World Cup, will be the gold medal pioneer of China's mountain cycling team. In addition, canoeing slalom also has certain advantages for home players. If we can make full use of the advantages of the host country, China water sports is expected to get the same surprise as Meng/Yang Wenjun in 2004.
