Xinhuanet Doha 65438+February 6 news analysis: Behind the "lost" of two gold medals in rowing

Xinhua News Agency reporters Gong Bing and Li Jiangtao

On the first day of the decisive battle, rowing lost two gold medals. What is the reason?

After all, China rowing team won all the gold medals in the three Asian Games: 1982, 1990 and 1998, and only 13 gold medals in the 2002 Asian Games.

The media was surprised, and so were the players. Gao Yanhua, the champion of women's quadruple sculls, didn't know the achievements of men's double sculls and women's lightweight sculls until she landed. "What a surprise, I don't know why." . Gagnaire Wa of Uzbekistan, the women's lightweight sculls champion, said: "I don't know what happened to the China team."

There are many reasons why Asian "bosses" got off to a bad start on the first day.

Objectively speaking, when the race is changed to the sea and the track distance is changed to 1000m, the wind and waves will have an impact on the race, as evidenced by the wind of 13m per second on the first day of the race. Some people say that all players are equal; But China's foreign teacher Iger? Greenkau said: "The current on the No.2 track where the China team is located today is not conducive to the ship's progress, and it feels a bit dry."

He said that it was for this reason that China only won the third and fourth place in men's sculls and women's lightweight sculls, which won the world championship this year.

However, Greenkau also admitted that the Asian Games has only been prepared for one week, and has not yet practiced1000 m. What's more, the China team is currently training in winter, and the training is for qualifying and preparing for next year's Olympic Games.

"Losing is losing, don't give yourself objective reasons." This is the explanation given by Cao Jingwei, deputy leader of China rowing team.

He believes that the Asian Games and the Olympic Games have different events and special venues, and the China team has not made a special training plan for the Asian Games. Yu Hua and Yan Shimin only matched before the game, and the gold medal in the World Championships was won by Xu Dongxiang/Yan Shimin. Cui Yonghui and Su Hui are both Asian Games champions, but they are not "original matches". Thailand, Uzbekistan and other countries adopted the rowing style of 1 1,000 m in the World Championships, increased the rowing frequency in advance, sprinted ahead of time, relaxed rowing after crossing 1 1,000 m, and regarded the World Championships as Asian Games training. We strictly followed the plan of winter training and preparing for next year's Olympic qualifiers, neither adapting to the stadium many days in advance, nor training for 1000 meters.

"Judging from the competition, China's rowing frequency is low. I am not afraid of low paddle frequency. As long as the paddles are pulled steadily, each paddle can achieve its goal and the speed can be pulled up. But it didn't pull today, which also reflected that we had defects in this aspect during winter training. " He said.

In addition, the China rowing team, which has dominated Asia for a long time, except Wu Chongkui, a man's lightweight single sculls, played a resurrection race. All the other players advanced directly to the semi-finals or finals after the preliminaries, and were underestimated after their success.

However, the China team still regards the Asian Games as a rare exercise opportunity. "We regard the Asian Games as a high-intensity training. The atmosphere of this competition still needs to be experienced. " Cao Jingwei said: "We should admit our failure and do the next work well. Next year's Olympic qualifiers are the real hard battle. "

Cui Dalin, assistant director of the State General Administration of Sport, said that the rowing team must look for more reasons subjectively, and the problems exposed today are also a warning to other events: "Success is not necessarily a good thing, but there are some problems when you lose, which is more valuable to some extent than winning a gold medal.

South Korean media: sweeping the gold medal "Doha Asian Games is China's world"

Xinhuanet Seoul 65438+February 4th (Reporter Li Zhengyu) The Korean Chosun Ilbo published an article entitled "Doha is China's World" on the 4th, saying that China's players swept the gold medal in this Asian Games, which was unstoppable.

The article said that at the Doha Asian Games, wherever you go, you can see the five-star red flag rising in Ran Ran on the podium. The strength of the China sports delegation determined to surpass the United States in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is far stronger than expected. At the Asian Games on the 4th morning of Korea time 1 (3rd morning of Doha time 19), the China delegation won 24 of the 37 gold medals, far exceeding the number of gold medals won by Japan and South Korea. The competition for the comprehensive ranking champion of the Asian Games actually ended on the first day of the opening of the Asian Games.

According to the article, among the 647 China athletes sent to Doha, there are not only "top masters" like Chen Yanqing who broke many women's weightlifting world records, but also 407 newcomers who participated in the Asian Games for the first time. China Shooting Team sent 22 newcomers, but won 10 gold medal in 13 events. Li Chen won two gold medals, including the first gold medal in the Asian Games. He is also an unknown athlete in China.

The article predicts that China will win at least 130 gold medals in 39 events, continuing the history of seven consecutive championships in the Asian Games.

Bao Chunlai: The winning percentage of the championship with Dānlín is "50-50".

Xinhuanet Doha 65438+February 6th (Reporter Zeng Zhijian, Zhang Wei) China's Bao Chunlai played twice a day in the men's singles badminton competition on the 6th, first beating Mongolian Bater 2-0 to advance to the semi-finals 16, and then beating Singaporean Susilo 2-0/0 to enter the semi-finals. After the game, he said that if he met teammate Dānlín in the final, the winning rate would be "50-50".

Dānlín and Bao Chunlai respectively defended the first half and the second half of the men's singles badminton competition in Doha Asian Games. After entering the semi-finals, Dānlín is likely to face the challenge of Malaysian master Hafez or South Korean star Li Xuanyi. Bao Chunlai has more hurdles in the lower half, and only by defeating Olympic champion Taufik and second seed Li Zongwei can it enter the final.

After defeating Susilo on the evening of the 6th, Bao Chunlai said very firmly that he was in good shape at present. Except for the team gold medal, all preparations were made for the men's singles champion.

In the 24 hours from the 5th group match to the defeat of Susilo, Bao Chunlai played three games. But he said: "I consciously saved my strength in two games today (6th). I won't have any physical problems in the next game. Moreover, I am now very familiar with the competition environment and venue. "

Aspect: Will there be "gold medal fatigue" on the 5th of the 38th Asian Games?

________________________________________

Xinhuanet Doha, February 4th (Reporter, Li) The China delegation won many gold medals and gained the upper hand in the swimming confrontation with Japan. There seems to be "gold medal fatigue" when watching the Asian Games. Therefore, in addition to enjoying the daily gold rush of the China team, we should also look at the Asian Games competitions that are not available in the Olympic Games, such as billiards and bowling.

The Doha Asian Games will produce 38 gold medals on the 5th, which will be distributed in 9 events including shooting, equestrian and cycling.

The billiards competition will produce two gold medals, one of which will come from men's snooker doubles. This obviously belongs to Ding Junhui's stage, but let's find out if he has entered the final first. The preliminaries to semi-finals will be held on the 4th, and will last until the early morning of the second day of Beijing time. Ding Junhui's doubles partner is Tian Pengfei, runner-up of last year's World Youth Championship. Obviously, Ding Junhui, who gave up the UEFA Cup semi-final for the Asian Games, will never just want to defend his individual championship. In the two rounds that ended on the 4th, they easily won and entered the quarter-finals.

Bowling is also worth seeing. This game is a bit long. When a gold medal is set, how many round trips can a marathon run? For example, in the men's individual competition on the third day, only four of the six games were played, from 18 to 2 am the next day. Of course, the level of competition is also very high. All the "X's" fell off one by one. On the first day, the highest score in a single game was 299 points, and on the second day, a player scored 300 points. Maybe China will win a medal in the women's triathlon.

In addition to these games that we are very familiar with and love to watch, the competition for other gold medals is still very fierce.

There are two main points to watch in the swimming arena, which has been creating good results a few days ago: to see whether the men's events can achieve good results again, including Ouyang Kunpeng of China in the 100-meter backstroke, Park Tae hwan of South Korea in the 400-meter freestyle, and Park Tae hwan, who is 17 years old, rewriting the Asian record in the 200-meter freestyle. Second, see if China's Pang Jiaying can win her fourth gold medal in this Asian Games. She took part in the women's 50m freestyle.

China weightlifters will take part in two competitions. Cao Lei, the champion of this year's World Championships, will compete in the women's 75kg class, and her registration score is more than 20kg higher than the runner-up. Wing-kuen Luk will compete in the men's 85kg class. He was the runner-up in last year's world championship, but he didn't show up in international competitions this year because of injury.

Five individual champions will be decided in the gymnastics competition. Among the five qualifying events, China won the first place, only the uneven bars competition may still be in suspense, and Ning He of China will face the challenge of Su Jong Hong of North Korea. On the last day of the judo competition, Liu may be able to add another gold medal for China in the undifferentiated competition. For the Japanese team, which can always snatch half the gold medals in the Asian Games and even the Olympic Games, this is their last chance to reverse the current decline.

There are two other games that are also quite exciting. However, since the previous games didn't end until the wee hours of Beijing time, China's opponent is unknown. Badminton will be held in the men's and women's team finals, and the China women's team will play against the Japanese team, but the men's team will play against the Indonesian team in the semi-final on the evening of the 4th. In addition, the China women's tennis team will participate in the team quarterfinals, and they will directly enter the quarterfinals as seed teams.

Who is the real badminton supreme? Lin Taufik is at his peak today.

What's the most fun game in Sue's Cup? Dānlín and Taufik challenged each other, and finally Dānlín cried out the Olympic champion at home. The highlight of this World Championships is the youth collision between Dānlín and Taufik (about 10 this morning, Beijing time). In order to achieve this "great" meeting, I believe that most fans will accept the withdrawal of Chen Hong and Bao Chunlai.

Dānlín is characterized by speed. Attack depends on speed to create smash opportunities. His defensive skills are not outstanding, but he relies on speed to run diligently on the court and even save the ball to make up for the loopholes in defense. He watched three games against Gade in the semi-final yesterday. He played well because his speed improved and suppressed Gade's backcourt attack, while the game he was chased back was because he didn't concentrate enough and didn't have the speed advantage. It is worrying that Dānlín has won all three of the last three games. He himself said after the game: "After playing for so many days, I feel a little tired and can't concentrate on the court."

Taufik is the most traditional Indonesian style of play, with comprehensive skills, strong control ability on the court and excellent ball control skills in front of the net. He mainly creates opportunities and surprise scores through high-quality webcasting. Although he killed the ball in the backcourt, he didn't consume much physical strength as a whole. He easily eliminated his opponent 2-0 yesterday, giving him an advantage in physical strength. No wonder he also said, "The longer the game drags on, the better for me."

Of course, the wonderful match between the two is by no means just a technical and intellectual confrontation. Two tigers are not allowed in one mountain. Dānlín and Taufik both need this game to change their 2-2 record, and they need this game to prove who is the real badminton champion. Maybe they learned a lesson from talking too much and spoke carefully. Dānlín did not deliberately challenge Taufik: "I will definitely prepare for this game. My dream is to become a world champion, so every opponent is very important and can give me pressure. " Taufik played very quietly. Although Li Yongbo had written an afternoon for Dānlín before the semi-final, he said to Taufik, "You should prepare well how to play Dānlín." But Taufik still didn't say a word, and deliberately touted his opponent: "I learned something in the battle between Su Cup and him, hoping to use it. But I have no advantage over him. On the contrary, he is younger than me, and all the advantages are in him. "

Without the squabble on the eve of the Su Cup, the smell of gunpowder in the game is much less, but it is good for them and the audience to concentrate on the game.

South Korean athlete Jin Hengqi fell off his horse and died in the equestrian competition of the Asian Games.

The Organizing Committee of Doha Asian Games held a press conference at noon on the 7th to announce that South Korean athlete Hyung chil Kim accidentally fell off his horse in the three-day equestrian competition of the Asian Games that morning, and was hit on the head by a horse when he fell to the ground, but died after being rescued.

Dr. Al-Moose, the person in charge of health care and doping control in this Asian Games, said that the accident happened at around 10 in the morning. Hyung chil Kim accidentally fell off his horse while climbing the eighth obstacle and was hit on the head by a horse when landing. The on-site medical staff immediately launched first aid, but found that he had lost consciousness. Later, the ambulance took Hyung chil Kim to the local hospital. Although the doctors tried their best to save him, they failed to save his life.

Dr. Al-Moose said: "At 10: 50 am (local time), the hospital officially declared Hyung chil Kim dead."

Due to the sudden rainstorm in Doha on the 7th, it was speculated whether the accident was caused by the wet and slippery rainy site. In response, Hodson, vice president of the International Equestrian Federation, replied: "We have launched a formal investigation into this accident, and I don't want to make too many comments until the results come out. As far as I know, this kind of thing is the first case in the Asian Games. "

Hodson admits that this accident will inevitably lead to many worries about whether equestrian can stay in the Olympic Games and the Asian Games in the future, but he firmly believes that the status of equestrian will "not be affected". He said: "I believe equestrian will definitely stay in the Asian Games. We will learn from this accident. "

Hyung chil Kim, 47, is the oldest player in the Korean equestrian team. She has participated in the Asian Games for four consecutive years and won the silver medal in Busan Asian Games in 2002.

Zheng, head of the South Korean delegation, said that the South Korean delegation was shocked and saddened by Jin Hengqi's misfortune. She said: "It is important to win the gold medal in the competition, but what is more important is the safety of the players. I should be responsible for this matter. " According to Zheng, the South Korean delegation has informed his family of the death of Jin Hengqi, and his family will arrive in Doha on the 8th.

Zheng also said that in order to express her condolences to Jin Hengqi's unfortunate experience, she did not rule out the possibility that South Korea would withdraw from all equestrian events in the Asian Games. She said: "We will hold a meeting in the athletes' village later to discuss this matter, and we will listen to the opinions of the athletes. "

This is the first time that an Asian Games athlete has encountered an accident. Last week, a 60-year-old Indian female volunteer couldn't dodge when crossing the road, and was hit by a car, and eventually died of serious injuries.

In the previous men's team finals, Dānlín lost to South Korean player Li Xuanyi, which made the China men's team almost lose the championship. After the game, it was reported that Dānlín smashed the TV angrily after losing the game, which made the leader of men's badminton in China controversial. In the men's singles semi-final, Dānlín met Li Xuanyi again. Dānlín played freely in two games and solved the battle in only half an hour.

In the men's badminton singles semi-final of Doha Asian Games held on February 8th, 65438, Beijing time, top seed Dānlín easily defeated South Korean men's singles Li Xuanyi in straight sets, successfully reached the final, and successfully avenged his opponent in the men's team final of this Asian Games. Li Xuanyi, who lost, was very modest after the game. He said that Dānlín's control in the game was beyond the reach of all his opponents.

Who's Li Xuanyi? People who have long been concerned about badminton should not feel too strange about this face. As the leader of the younger generation in South Korea, Li Xuanyi has been the representative of Korean men's badminton since the previous generation of famous players gradually withdrew from the badminton stage. At present, it ranks seventh in the world before the net, and its front and back defense is also very stable. The only deficiency is that he has not made a major breakthrough in the spike ability in the backcourt, which is also the key to restricting him from becoming a super-class player.

Dānlín, like Li Xuanyi, is a pair of old rivals on the international stage. Before Dānlín fully established his dominant position in the world badminton, Li Xuanyi often made trouble for Dānlín in competitions. The last time he beat Dānlín was in the German Open in 2003. However, with the maturity of Dānlín, Li Xuanyi always falls behind in the contest with Dānlín. In the Thomas Cup semi-final between China and South Korea in 2004, Dānlín was China's number one singles, and his opponent was Li Xuanyi. As a result, Dānlín easily defeated him 2-0, and he began his hegemony on the world badminton stage.

In the past two years, Dānlín and Li Xuanyi met four times in the competition. As a result, Super Dan won the final victory of the competition without exception. Most notably, in this year's World Championships, Dānlín defeated many opponents such as Li Xuanyi and finally stood on the podium of the men's singles champion. Compared with the scenery in Dānlín, Li Xuanyi has been gradually neglected by most people in China recently. In this Asian Games, people pay more attention to the contest between Dānlín and his old enemy Taufik. Few people think that this lonely player hidden in the Korean team will eventually bring Dānlín the first defeat in the team competition in the past two years.

Li Xuanyi was caught off guard by Dānlín in the first confrontation between the two sides in this Asian Games. He not only managed to achieve a big reversal when he was behind in the first game, but also lost his temper in the deciding game, which made people re-examine the player. However, objectively speaking, in all-round comparison with Dānlín, there are still some shortcomings in the overall strength of Li Xuanyi. In today's game, he was defeated by Dānlín 2 1-3, which also exposed his psychological instability.

Counting Dānlín's opponents who can pose a certain threat in Asia and even the world, the Dane Gade is old and the Indonesian Taufik has been injured for a long time. On the contrary, players like Li Xuanyi and Malaysian Li Chongwei are more likely to beat Dānlín in the game as long as they can adjust their state to the best. Therefore, if you really want to gain hegemony in this project, you can't just focus on individuals like Taufik. You know, Li Xuanyi gave China badminton a wake-up call with a defeat that Dānlín will remember for many years.
