Original title: Adding two more team gold medals, the Chinese wheelchair fencing team ended successfully
Sing Tao World Wide Web News:Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, August 29 (Reporter Dong Yixing) The Tokyo Paralympic wheelchair fencing event ushered in the last competition day on the 29th. The Chinese men’s and women’s teams defeated their opponents and successfully defended the men’s and women’s foil team championships.
The defending champion Chinese men’s team sent Hu Daoliang, Li Hao and Sun Gang to play. The British team is led by Gili Fo, who won the men’s epee individual A-level championship, and Dimitri, who won three bronze medals in this Paralympic Games.
Sun Gang took the lead to start the game with 5:2. After that, the two teams had their own wins and losses in the next few rounds, and the score has been very stalemate. At the end of the seventh game, the Chinese team fell behind by 34:35. In the eighth game, Li Hao played vigorously. A wave of 6:0 offensive allowed the Chinese team to enter the final game with a 5-point lead.
In the end, Sun Gang helped the Chinese team defeat the British team 45:38 with a 5:3, winning the men’s foil team gold medal for the fourth time. Since the Beijing Paralympic Games did not set up a men’s foil team event, the Chinese men’s flower team has never let this gold medal fall by the side since participating in the Athens Paralympic Games.
“This game was very difficult. The overall strength of England is relatively strong. The three of us played against them, fighting with one sword.” Hu Daoliang said, “In general, we played relatively well. Our usual training level Basically it has played out.”
That day happened to be Li Hao’s 27th birthday, and a gold medal might be his best birthday gift. “I hoped that I could draw a perfect end to the competition on the last day to celebrate my 27th birthday.” Li Hao said.
Sun Gang, who made the opening and closing, said that he “has a certain psychological advantage.” “At the beginning of the first game, it was relatively relaxed, but in the end we didn’t have much lead, and there was still a little worry. I just thought of slowly playing with one sword and one sword, and finally won.”
In the women’s foil team competition, the Chinese team composed of Gu Haiyan, Zhou Jingjing and Rong Jing defeated their rivals Italy 45:41 and successfully defended their title.
Gu Haiyan took the lead and made a good start at 5:1. The two teams then took the lead alternately. The Chinese team entered the final game with a three-point advantage. Gu Haiyan faced Italian player Vio, who had previously defeated Zhou Jingjing and won the women’s foil individual B-level championship.
Gu Haiyan withstood the pressure and finished the game with four swords in a row after falling behind 1:4, helping the wheelchair fencing team to finish the Tokyo Paralympic Games with a gold medal.
It was 11 o’clock in the evening when the game ended, and it was 12 o’clock when the awards ceremony ended. For athletes who wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning, this is an extremely long day. The three girls repeatedly emphasized the support and encouragement among their teammates in the interview.
“This game is very difficult for us, especially for me, it has been fighting for the fourth day in a row. Physically and mentally, I am a little overloaded. I am very grateful to Zhou Jingjing and Gu Haiyan for their motivation and great encouragement. “Rong Jing said.
Zhou Jingjing said: “We have been encouraging and supporting each other. Whether leading or lagging, we never blame each other, it is encouragement. We believe that we can perform at the best level. But we also thank our opponents for being strong and talented. Let us have such a united strength.”
Gu Haiyan also said that her teammates gave her great motivation. “I am especially grateful for the encouragement of the two seniors. It was the first time I participated in the team competition. We worked hard to each other, and finally won the championship.”
In the women’s foil team bronze medal match that ended earlier, Hong Kong, China, drew 44 with Hungary after saving four consecutive match points. However, at the critical moment, he did not seize the opportunity and missed the medal by a sword.
In the men’s foil team competition, the French team defeated the Russian Paralympic Committee 45:40 and won the bronze medal.
