On August 13, 2016, the Rio Olympics men's 20-kilometer walking race Wang Zhen won the championship
On August 13, 2016 (July 11, 2016 in the lunar calendar), Wangzhen won the championship in the men's 20-kilometer walking race at the Rio Olympics. The 12th Jinwang Town men's 20-kilometer walking race was born on August 24, 1991 in Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province. In 2010, it was selected into the national men's walking race team. In the 2012 London Olympics, it won the 20-kilometer walking race championship in the 2012 Asian Games, and successfully reached the top of the Rio Olympics. The men's 20-kilometer walking race in the 12th Jinwang Town was held in the early morning of August 13, 2016, Beijing time. The 20-kilometer walking race final of the Rio Olympics was held. Three China athletes, including defending champion Chen Ding, competed together. In the end, Wang Zhen won the championship in 1 hour, 19 minutes and 14 seconds, and Cai Zelin won the runner-up in 1 hour, 19 minutes and 26 seconds. This was the first time that China athletes won the top two places in Olympic track and field competitions. The previous champion Chen Ding played with injury and finished 39th in 1 hour, 23 minutes and 54 seconds. All three China athletes have the strength to win medals in this final. Among them, Chen Ding was the champion of the last Olympic Games, and Wang Zhen was the runner-up in the men's 20-kilometer walk in the 2015 World Championships and the runner-up in the London Olympics. However, the latter's start was not very smooth. Just five minutes into the game, his shoes were stepped on by the player next to him and he had to walk out of the competition area to lift his shoes, which seriously affected the rhythm of the game. It can be seen from the live broadcast that Wang Zhen is quite dissatisfied with this. Among the leading groups, British player Bosworth took the lead first. He started rushing out among 74 players four kilometers after the start of the race. When he reached the halfway 10 kilometers, Bosworth remained in first place in 32 minutes and 19 seconds, but the lineup had not yet been opened, and about 20 players remained in the first square. The three China players also kept following and were not left behind. As the game entered the second half, competition for the game began to heat up. Among China players, Cai Zelin took the lead. After 14 kilometers, he began to accelerate and surpass others including Bosworth, temporarily rising to first place in 56 minutes and 08 seconds. At this time, Wang Zhen is still ranked fourth, while Chen Dingze has been left behind by the leading group and is ranked 26th. After the 16th kilometer, Bosworth began to lose pace and slowed down the pace of catching up, but several other players caught up. Seven people including Cai Zelin, Australia player Bode Smith, Wang Zhen, and Brazilian player Bofem tied for first place. In the last four kilometers, Cai Zelin and Wang Zhen continued to exert their strength. The two walked faster and faster, and soon completely separated the main force. At the 18th kilometer, Wang Zhen ranked first in 1 hour, 11 minutes and 48 seconds, and Cai Zelin ranked second in 1 hour, 11 minutes and 52 seconds. After that, Wang Zhen continued to accelerate, shaking off Cai Zelin, and firmly ranked first. In the end, Wang Zhen took the lead in breaking the line, adding another gold medal to the China delegation in the Olympics; Cai Zelin won a silver medal. Their excellent results in this Olympic Games are destined to be engraved in the history of China's track and field.
