Xinhua News Agency, Jakarta, August 20 (reporter Lu Xianting, Yi Ling) the new and old alternate Chinese gymnastics mens team still lacks a “heavyweight” leader. Lin chaopeng, 23, and Xiao Ruoteng, 22, formed the “double insurance” of the Chinese team. In last year’s Asian and world championships, they won the men’s all-around gold and silver medal, and Xiao Ruoteng won a little.
At the Jakarta Asian Games, Lin Chao climbed the pressure and stood on the top podium of men’s individual all-around, which was also his first Asian Games gold medal. After experiencing the injury, Lin Chaopan gradually recovered his state, “the former Lin Chaopan came back!”
In the competition for men’s personal all-round title gymnastics in the 20th Asian Games, Lin Chaopan performed mature and steady, and the six projects were steady and steady, with 86.75 points. “This gold medal can make you more confident. Because the status of winter training this year is a bit declining, it has been relatively stable and systematic for more than a month in summer training, so the status is slowly coming back.” Lin Chaopan said.
After the World Championships last year, Lin Chaopan has been recuperating and missed some competitions. “I didn’t participate in the all-round event competition of the national championship because of injuries and didn’t feel that the stars were dim. I am still quite confident. I know what kind of stage I have reached, I am also very clear at what stage should be restored.” Lin Chaopan said, “This gold medal is heavy for me, because this is my first Asian Games gold medal, which is a great incentive for me to prepare for the World Championships next.”
It is often used to compare with Xiao Ruoteng. Lin Chaopan doesn’t care about it. “The competition with Xiao Ruoteng is conducive to the development of the whole team. A healthy competition in a team, I learn from him, he learned from me. Anyway, everyone has everyone’s advantages. The all-round title and runner-up of the world championships are both in China, which proves that our team must be very strong.”
“What I think most now is the next team match. I hope I can relax like today’s game. Steady! Each item is stable.” Lin Chaopan said.
In the Incheon Asian Games four years ago, China lost to Japan men’s gymnastics team. Although the Japanese men’s team sent a second team to participate in the competition this time, the strength of our small generals such as Nomura Sheng in the team was not weak. “What we sent is the best player in China and the player preparing for the Tokyo Olympics. The purpose of the competition is to temper the will of the team members, run into the lineup, find deficiencies, and inspect the team members. I hope the competition will be more perfect in the future.” Chinese team leader Ye Zhennan said.
