Guo Ping lost its crown? And a rare silver medal.

Only then did I know that this was the first time that mixed doubles entered the Olympic Games. But apart from this symbolic meaning, what if this gold medal is lost?

Guo Ping has never lost in the Olympic Games: Valdner of Barcelona 1992, and Ryu Seung-min of Athens in 2004 are also the men's singles events with the highest gold content. Apart from missing two gold medals, what else is missing? No, on the contrary, it was that defeat that made Guo Ping sum up and improve, and kept the tradition that "domestic champions are much more difficult to deal with than world champions".

There is a famous joke: Zhang Yining told her daughter that the gold medal can be played at will, but the silver medal can't be touched, just this one. The most important thing in table tennis is the gold medal and the world champion, but the silver medal is even more rare and precious.

Can't blow, can't touch the table, the venue has been reduced from 8* 16 to 6* 1 1 (or "Fat man who doesn't know the ball" and Ma Lin measured it with his feet). This series of details almost applied the host's advantages to the extreme, and when Liu came back from a wrist injury, he finally dismounted the mixed doubles in China at 4:3.

This is not an excuse, not the spirit of Ah Q, nor is the Japanese team invincible. This is the "involution" of competitive sports, especially table tennis.

In Beijing in 2008, Zhang broke the myth that Korean women were unbeaten in archery; At the beginning of last year, Wu Lei scored a goal to draw with Barcelona as a China player; Liu Xiang broke the European and American monopoly that Asia has never broken in the 1 10 meter hurdle (please detour when spraying); Even emmons missed the target twice and won two Olympic gold medals for the China men's rifle shooting team ... At that time, we and today's Japanese fans should be happier. Compared with the "background board" above, this mixed doubles gold medal is really just the number of gold medals in table tennis-1. Think of it as a learning god who takes the first place every time. This time, he played the second place with half of the new exam subjects.

I once talked with Artest. He said, "The biggest failure of pushing is not that you always lose, but that no one wants to push with you." At the beginning of 2009, table tennis had a "wolf plan" to help foreign table tennis players improve their level through "going out, please come in". The purpose is to continue to actively develop this project. Losing a gold medal this time, of course, was not intentional, but it did have this effect objectively, especially when people took the initiative to try their best to spell it down.

There is a god figure in the men's rifle project-Lemonde Debevich, born in 1963. He once represented the former Yugoslavia in 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games and 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. Representing Slovenia in 1992 ~2008 * * = 5 Olympic Games. The number of championships it won, especially the 50-meter three-position event, the most heavyweight event of men's rifle, can be said to be "unique". 1992 The world record of the 50m three-position event 1 186 he created in Germany was maintained for 26 years. Until 20 18, Yang Haoran of China also broke it at the World Cup in Germany with 1 187 (yes! However, even this unshakable figure in the shooting process has actually won only one Olympic gold medal (in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, he won the gold medal in the men's 50-meter rifle in three positions and broke the Olympic record with 1 177). But the competition is the most important thing for him. Going all out to compete every time is the real happiness of experiencing the Olympics.

Emmons, who lost the gold medal including two mistakes, won love at the Olympic Games. He said more than once that this love far exceeds the value of the gold medal.

Sometimes, we will hear this conversation:

"I hit it with my car."

"Is everyone all right?"

"No."

"That's good."

Imagine what Xu Xin and Liu said to their families when they got home:

"We lost the gold medal."

"Oh. What is the result of nucleic acid testing? "

"I didn't go to the hospital."

"It doesn't matter."

202 1, China athletes in Tokyo, safety and health is the most important.
