Why did the Chinese Asian Games flag bearer choose Zhao Shuai?

Zhao Shuai became the flag bearer of my country's Olympic team, it is not surprising at all for Rui Hejun, but it is indeed surprising for most people, because many people have not heard of this name, let alone know what his sports achievements are. In comparison, his reputation in China is indeed not as good as Ma Long, nor as good as Chen Long, but why is it him? The main aspects are as follows.

First: the first gold medal winner of the men's taekwondo of my country's Olympic delegation.

Zhao Shuai, who was born in 1995, is one year younger than Zhu Ting. He has been practicing taekwondo since he was 9 years old, and the results have been very good over the years. In 2016, he participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, in the 58kg category, and he was a champion all the wayThe result was the 58kg champion.

His Chinese men's taekwondo Olympic champion also achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals in my country's men's taekwondo Olympics.

Second, his athletic achievements and influence in the international taekwondo industry <>

Just saying that he won the 58kg category at the last Olympics is not enough to convince everyone. In the 2017 International Taekwondo Championships, due to the increase in weight, he participated in the men's 63 kg class competition and won the championship, and this is also the first gold medal in my country's men's taekwondo international championships. These two championships alone are enough to make him a hot figure in the sport of taekwondo in our country.

In addition, in recent years, due to the increase in his weight, the level of participation has become higher and higher, from the initial 58 kilograms, to the previous 63 kilograms, and then to today's 68 kilogramsIts influence is growing.

Third: the image and experience of the characteristics.

In the previous Olympic Games, the flagbearers of our delegation were all Chinese men's basketball players, except for thunder, and they were all tall and mighty images. Zhao Shuai also belongs to this type, and his height is up to the meter, although there is a difference of 10 centimeters from Zhu Ting's meter, he is also the best candidate to be the flag bearer of our delegation. And Zhao Shuai also served as the flag bearer of our delegation at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games.

Fourth: One of the most educated athletes in active service.

In our country, athletes are professional, and they basically start to practice in professional teams since they were young, so we often see some athletes entering university after retiring. Although Zhao Shuai has always been engaged in professional practice, his current academic qualifications should be the highest among active athletes, and he is now studying at Southwest University and is studying for a doctoral degree in physical education.

ConclusionThe above four aspects are the reasons why Zhao Shuai became the flag bearer of my country's Olympic delegation, especially his athletic achievements and academic qualifications, which many athletes do not have.

is because his ability is relatively strong, and his ability to be a member of the Chinese men's basketball team is also more prominent, and then his height is also outstanding, and he has also made a lot of outstanding contributions to the Chinese men's basketball world.

Because of his very good performance in the course of the competition, it is also one of the most important reasons why he can become the flag bearer of the Olympic Shipping delegation in this case, and he has the credibility of a non-fighting command.

Because he is really a very powerful person, and he is also a very outstanding person in the team, he can become the Chinese Olympic flag bearer.
