Recently, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions announced that in recognition of the outstanding achievements of our athletes at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics, it has decided to award the National May 1 Labor Medal to 29 outstanding athletes. This news quickly sparked widespread attention and discussion from all sectors of society. Among them, the names of Wang Chuqin, a table tennis star, Zheng Qinwen, a rising star in tennis, Pan Zhanle, an Olympic swimming champion, and Sheng Lihao and Huang Yuting, the golden boy and girl of Chinese shooting, stood out. Netizens have been expressing their warm congratulations to these athletes in the comment section, but some have also raised questions about why Quan Hongchan, who shone at the Tokyo Olympics, did not appear on this list of awardees. Quan Hongchan, who won three gold medals in women's diving at the Olympics, became the youngest triple gold medalist in Olympic diving history. Why was she not selected? It turns out that Quan Hongchan had already received the National May 1 Labor Medal for her excellent performance at the Tokyo Olympics, and this honor can only be awarded once to each athlete. In addition, at the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin, as a star player in the table tennis event, carried the eager hopes of the nation. He participated in mixed doubles, men's singles, and team events, demonstrating his strong abilities and tenacious fighting spirit. In the mixed doubles competition, Wang Chuqin and his partner Sun Yingsha worked in perfect harmony, overcoming all obstacles to eventually defeat the North Korean team, winning the first-ever Olympic mixed doubles gold medal for the national table tennis team. In the men's team event, Wang Chuqin teamed up with Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, achieving a perfect record to stand on the championship podium. However, unfortunately, in the singles event, Wang Chuqin was defeated by Moregord, who eventually won the silver medal, in the 1/16 finals, ending his journey in the top 32. Despite this, Wang Chuqin's performance at the Paris Olympics was still impressive, and he remains an important force for the future of China's male table tennis team. Entering the Los Angeles Olympic cycle, with Fan Zhendong retiring from the world rankings and Ma Long gradually fading out, Wang Chuqin has welcomed new opportunities in his career. However, there are also fans who express concerns about Wang Chuqin's prospects. They point out that although Wang Chuqin has achieved remarkable results in various major events, he has yet to win the men's singles title in any of the world's top three competitions, and his results have been inconsistent. Therefore, whether he can dominate the international arena in the new cycle remains uncertain. Nevertheless, Wang Chuqin's potential and strength cannot be overlooked, and he is still one of the leading figures in the future of Chinese table tennis. Besides Wang Chuqin, tennis newcomer Zheng Qinwen is also on the list of awardees. In the 2024 season, Zheng Qinwen rose to become one of the top five players in the world, and at the Paris Olympics, she made history by winning the first-ever Olympic singles gold medal for the Chinese tennis team. This feat has made Zheng Qinwen a new idol in Chinese tennis and has earned her numerous awards in various year-end award selections. Moreover, the Chinese shooting team also demonstrated its formidable strength at the Paris Olympics. Young athletes Sheng Lihao and Huang Yuting withstood pressure in the mixed 10m air rifle final, securing the first gold medal for the Chinese sports delegation at these Olympics. Subsequently, in individual events, Sheng Lihao won the men's 10m air rifle individual final championship. In addition to the above-mentioned award-winning athletes, many other outstanding athletes are also on the list, including Liu Huanhua, the Chinese weightlifting Olympic champion, synchronized swimming athletes Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi, and Chen Yiwen from the diving dream team, among others. Undoubtedly, these excellent athletes have achieved remarkable accomplishments in their respective fields and have made significant contributions to the development of China's sports industry. The awarding of the National May 1 Labor Medal is not only an affirmation of their outstanding achievements at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics but also a commendation for their hard work and relentless efforts.
