"It is not a dream to achieve the goal of' 30 gold' proposed by the Japanese Olympic Committee."
At present, the Olympic Games have already passed halfway. After a day without a gold medal, with 17 gold medals won in the first half, Japan is still full of confidence in achieving the goal of delaying the Tokyo Olympic Games by one year.
Japan defeated the Russian Olympic Committee 45-36 in the men's epee team gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games. After winning the championship for the first time in history, the number of gold medals of the Japanese team rose to 17, ranking second only to our 2 1 in the medal list so far.
It is worth mentioning that winning 17 gold medals in a single Olympic Games has set a new record for Japan's participation in the Olympic Games, surpassing the best results of 1964 gold medals in Tokyo Olympic Games in 2004 and 16 gold medals in Athens Olympic Games in 2004.
Although some gold medals won by the Japanese team are controversial, such as the gold medal won by Daihui Hashimoto in the men's individual all-around gymnastics final, we are still worried, but all Japan believes that there is still room for further achievements with the excellent performance at home. Not only can the number of gold medals set a new record, but the total number of medals may also exceed the highest record of 4 1 in Rio 2065, 438+06.
Of course, the Japanese sports department has made no secret of the good results achieved by the Japanese team at home, saying that "this is the result of making full use of geographical location", especially when overseas teams are affected by epidemic prevention measures, the advantages of Japanese local operations are further amplified.
In addition, another important factor is that Japan, as the host country, fully exercised the "right of the host city to add one or more projects" given by the International Olympic Committee, and firmly grasped the initiative to add new projects. Under the active operation of Japan, among the five new projects of surfing, skateboarding, competitive rock climbing, baseball and softball and karate, Japan with obvious advantages has become the biggest beneficiary.
Especially, baseball and softball, which was kicked out of the Olympic Games after the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, appeared in Tokyo after two Olympic Games, which can only be regarded as a temporary return to Japan, the host country that loves baseball and softball culture. There will be no baseball and softball in the Paris Olympic Games in three years.
The newly added Japanese-dominated events in the Tokyo Olympic Games have contributed three gold medals to Japan since the start of the games, namely, skateboarding for men and women and women's softball. In the finished surfing competition, the Japanese team did not win the expected two gold medals, but also won 1 silver medal and 1 bronze medal.
Not only are the newly-added events completely dominated by Japan, but the gold medals of small events added in traditional events are also painstakingly won by Japanese players Toshiyuki Mizutani and Meicheng Ito, for example, achieving the breakthrough of zero gold medal in table tennis in the Olympic Games.
Among the 17 gold medals, in addition to the 9 gold medals contributed by Japanese traditional advantage event judo, the next biggest contribution is 4 new events, which have surpassed the 3 gold medals contributed by Japanese traditional strength gymnastics and swimming. No wonder Japan's * * news agency, when reporting Japan's record gold medal achievement, bluntly said that "the new project also promoted the Japanese team to win the gold medal".
In the second half of the Olympic Games, Japan still has many exciting gold medals. Women's wrestling, skateboarding park, competitive rock climbing, karate and men's baseball won four gold medals at the Rio Olympic Games, which is also the hot spot for the Japanese team to win gold medals. Even for men's soccer, Japan hopes to realize its gold medal dream for the first time at home.
In the second half of the new events, Japan decided to win two gold medals in the skateboarding park, and it is also possible for Japan to win two gold medals in the rock climbing competition. After all, the top male and female rock climbers in the world are all Japanese, and there is a great possibility that Japan will win the men's baseball championship. Karate will produce eight gold medals, and Japan will send players to participate in each event. It's not impossible to win them all.
In this way, Japan may only win 13 gold medals in new events in the second half of the year, excluding the expected number of gold medals in traditional events such as women's judo and men's football. Even though Daiya Seto, a Japanese male swimmer, and Kento Momota, a male badminton player, unexpectedly missed medals, it is not impossible to achieve the goal of "30 gold medals" proposed by the Japanese Olympic Committee.
In order to create the best Olympic record, Japan has indeed exerted its power to dominate the new Olympic events to the extreme. Japan even has the strength to win all the 18 gold medals produced by five new events.
No wonder some domestic netizens are not convinced. Should Wing Chun Boxing, Luohan Boxing, Xingyiquan and Tai Ji Chuan be listed as events in the next Olympic Games?
