The first gold medal of Chengdu Universiade was born!

Unforgettable First Money Story

On the morning of July 29th, Chinese athlete Cao Maoyuan won the championship with a score of 9.770 in the men's Nanquan martial arts competition at the Chengdu Universiade. This is also the first gold medal produced at this year's Universiade.

Cao Maoyuan is in the competition

After the game, Cao Maoyuan expressed that he felt a bit excited before playing, and the coach asked him to calm down his emotions and think more about his regular training to adjust his mentality. He said, "We are martial artists, and martial artists are also skilled in technology. We need to be more pure, the purer, the stronger."

The attention to the first prize money in major international sports events has always been high, and who will receive the first prize money has become one of the most concerning topics for the audience. On the other hand, obtaining the down payment is also a motivation for the national delegation. If the gold medal is not yet won, it will inevitably affect the morale of the entire team. If the first gold medal of the entire competition is won, it will greatly inspire teammates to be the first in future competitions.

At the 2019 Naples Universiade in Italy, Chinese diving team member Song Shoulin won the championship in the women's 1-meter springboard event with a total score of 258.35 points, achieving a "good start". This is not only the first gold medal of the Chinese delegation at the 30th Summer Universiade, but also the first gold medal of this year's Universiade.

Song Shoulin in the competition

In 2015, at the Gwangju Universiade in South Korea, Chinese athlete Zheng Shuangxue won the women's 1-meter springboard championship by nearly 12 points over the host athlete Kim Nami, winning the first gold medal at that Universiade. The atmospheric, active, and calm youthful demeanor exhibited by Chinese divers on the field is impressive and highly praised both domestically and internationally.

However, the Chinese team also has the regret of not receiving the down payment. In 2011, the Universiade arrived at Shenzhen, the "window" of China's opening-up to the outside world. Due to long-distance swimming not being an advantage for the Chinese team, Italian athlete Simon Ruffini won the first gold medal at the Universiade in the men's 10 kilometer open water swimming event with a time of 1:58 hours, while the Chinese team missed the first gold medal. But in this Universiade, friendly exchanges and interactions between Chinese and foreign athletes were frequent, and Shenzhen's openness, inclusiveness, and enthusiasm infected athletes from all over the world.

Although it was not the first prize of the competition, some special meanings of the first prize are still unforgettable.

In 1979, at the 10th Universiade held in Mexico City, female diver Chen Xiaoxia won the gold medal in diving, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win a gold medal in the history of the Universiade. Under this motivation, China's diving events will continue to make rapid progress and gradually gain a leading position.

August 28, 2001 was an immortal day engraved by the Chinese team at the Universiade. At the Beijing Workers' Stadium, Liu Xiang won the men's 110 meter hurdles championship with a time of 13.33 seconds. This was the first athletics gold medal won by the Chinese delegation at the Universiade, and also the first world championship won by Liu Xiang himself. Afterwards, Liu Xiang further broke through his form and ultimately won a precious gold medal for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympics.

Liu Xiang

The Chinese university sports delegation participating in this Universiade consists of over 700 people, including 411 athletes from over 100 universities across the country competing in all 18 major events. I believe that with the encouragement of Cao Maoyuan's first gold medal, the Chinese team can achieve excellent results in the upcoming matches!
