Zheng Qinwen leaves Paris! Unable to be the flag bearer of the closing ceremony, Pan Zhanle became a favorite, or competed with 2 people

On August 6, Beijing time, Song Xiang, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, reported that Chinese player Zheng Qinwen, who previously won the tennis women's singles championship at the Paris Olympics, has left Paris to prepare for the North American season. And this also means that Zheng Qinwen will not be the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

In the previously concluded Paris Olympics tennis women's singles competition, Zheng Qinwen won 6 miracle matches in a row to win the championship, including the semifinals for the first time in his career to defeat the current world No. 1 Swiatek. Zheng Qinwen also became the first Olympic women's singles gold medalist in Asian history. Such a history-making performance also made her a popular candidate for the flag bearer of the closing ceremony of the Chinese team.

But as we all know, tennis players participate in the Olympics without points and no bonuses. And Zheng Qinwen has withdrawn from the 1000-point Masters for the Paris Olympics. The second stop of the Cincinnati Masters is the most important tournament before the US Open, and Zheng Qinwen really does not need to stay in Paris until the closing ceremony in order to be the flag bearer of the closing ceremony, and affect his preparation for the tour.

After Zheng Qinwen missed the flag bearer of the closing ceremony, 20-year-old swimming genius Pan Zhanle is undoubtedly the biggest favorite. Pan Zhanle not only won the gold medal in the men's 100m freestyle, but also set a new world record with a time of 46.40 seconds, and he also led the Chinese team to a miraculous counterattack in the 4x100 medley relay final, breaking the 40-year gold medal monopoly of the United States team in this event. Pan Zhanle's achievements are indeed worthy of carrying the flag for the Chinese delegation at the closing ceremony.

In addition to Pan Zhanle, Zhang Yufei and Chen Meng are also among the hot candidates. The former is the player with the most Olympic medals in the Chinese swimming team, while Chen Meng won the Olympic table tennis women's singles gold medal and is the oldest Olympic champion in table tennis women's singles.

In the last Tokyo Olympics, the 100-meter flyer Su Bingtian was the flag bearer of the closing ceremony of the Chinese team.
