Today is the eighth competition day after the opening of the Tokyo Olympics. A total of 21 gold medals were produced in the Tokyo Olympics. The Chinese Olympic delegation continued to compete for gold and silver in multiple venues at the Tokyo Olympics, achieving 2 golds, 3 silvers and 1 bronze.
In the morning, the Chinese swimming team continued to achieve good results. In the men's and women's mixed 4x100m medley relay final, the Chinese team composed of Xu Jiayu, Yan Zibei, Zhang Yufei and Yang Junxuan won a valuable silver medal. This is a new event in Olympic swimming. Each team consists of two athletes, one male and one female.

In the evening, in the badminton men's doubles final, the Chinese combination Li Junhui /Liu Yuchen lost to the Chinese Taipei combination Li Yang/Wang Qilin, and unfortunately won the silver medal.

What seems regretful today is the Chinese women's volleyball team. As the Turkish team defeated Argentina 3-0 in the morning and locked the last qualifying spot in Group B of the Tokyo Olympics women's volleyball team, the Chinese women's volleyball team has already been determined to be eliminated before playing the fourth game. This is the first time the Chinese women's volleyball team failed in the group stage after 29 years since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
(as of 21:00 on July 31)
I hope that Chinese Olympic athletes will not be arrogant when they win and will not be discouraged when they lose.
Keep up the good work!
