In the first eight days of this World Universiade, the Chinese team only won two gold medals in the Wushu Taijiquan and badminton team competitions, but in the last four days, the progress was made, especially the tennis team swept the hardware, and the last 10 gold medals surpassed the previous Naples It became the best record outside of the Taipei Universiade.

The basic events of track and field, gymnastics and swimming are highly competitive due to the fierce competition from many countries. In the past, the Chinese team was determined to participate, but this year it is the event with the most outstanding performance of the delegation. This year’s track and field Peng Mingyang broke the record in the 400-meter hurdles and won the gold medal in the Paris Olympics. , high jump Fu Zhaoxuan, Cai Weizhi, long jump Wen Huayou and Lin Jiaxing all won silver and bronze medals, and won four medals in two different individual events; Two-faced card, once a silver medal for Saint Vault, three medals for gymnastics in a single session, and swimming under relatively difficult conditions immediately following the World Championships. Wang Xinghao, who won the bronze medal for the first time for the Chinese team in the World Universiade last year, is this year’s 200-meter mixed The four-style was upgraded to a silver medal. Wang Guanhong, who participated in the 200-meter butterfly for the first time, missed the gold medal with a gap of 0.03 seconds. In addition, Huang Minqian broke her own national record twice in the women’s 50-meter freestyle. The two silver medals are also unprecedented. Unexpectedly, it almost achieved the same gold medal in track and field swimming and gymnastics.

This year’s Chengdu World Universiade can also be said to be the mid-term exam for the Chinese team in this year’s international competition. As many as 83 of the 210 players will continue to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games. The gold medals of Peng Mingyang, Li Zhikai and Wang Guanhong still have the potential to win medals in the Asian Games , but the silver or bronze medals may not be able to win medals in the Asian Games because of the gap between the participating opponents. The two gold medals, one silver and one bronze medal in tennis and badminton have set the best records in ball games, but they have not met world-class first-ranked players, and the results are for reference only. The men’s basketball team defeated mainland China in the preliminaries, and the women’s basketball team won five consecutive victories to reach the semi-finals, which also exceeded expectations.

A total of 120 countries participated in this World Universiade, of which 53 countries won medals and 35 countries won gold medals. It is the first time that a second-tier city in mainland China hosts an international-level sports meeting. Among the 411 players, 34 Tokyo Olympians and even Olympic gold medals are awarded. On the other hand, Russia has been suspended due to the Russian-Ukrainian war and cannot participate. The US team will participate symbolically , Only won the only gold medal in swimming, allowing the home team to write the highest record of the delegation with 103 golds, 40 silvers and 35 bronzes. The mainland won 18 of the 42 gold medals in swimming and 15 gold medals in diving. These two items alone are inferior to other countries. Japan is second with 21 golds, 29 silvers and 43 bronzes, and South Korea is 17 golds, 18 silvers and 23 bronzes. three. The seven countries ranked second to eighth in the medal table have a total of 101 gold medals, which is still not as good as the mainland’s 103 gold medals. However, neither China, Japan, and South Korea have made the best of the top three, and the decisive stage will still be the Hangzhou Asian Games a month later.
