The last time that the Chinese canoeing team won medals in the Olympics, it can be traced back to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The combination of Meng Guanliang and Yang Wenjun won the men's double rowing 500-meter final and achieved their title.
Liu Hao and Zheng Pengfei had high expectations before the game. In 2019, the two won multiple World Cup championships. In Duisburg, they also defeated the German combination Juul/Krechmer, leading the way. Reached 1.5 seconds, and created the world's best results in this project.
In the semi-finals held earlier, Liu Hao and Zheng Pengfei played well, ranked first in the group and created the best results in the Olympics, and advanced to the finals.
In the final, the Chinese combination was in the leading position in the first 750 meters, but in the final 250 meters, it was overtaken by the Cuban combination.
After the game, Liu Hao and Zheng Pengfei stated that the game took the lead tactics of fierce punching and dashing, and the final stage was overtaken by objective factors and the manipulation was somewhat affected.
Although there are some regrets, the Chinese team is quite satisfied with their performance. "We are equipped with boats in May 2019. Although the time is short, it has reached a very high level. Our goal for this competition is the gold medal, and we want to come here for promotion. The national flag, the national anthem, and the silver medal are a bit regretful, but we are also very happy. We have shown our level. This is competitive sports."
Speaking of what he most want to do after the game, Liu Hao said that he used to get up at 4 o'clock every day and wanted to sleep well and wake up naturally. Zheng Pengfei wanted to go home to see his family, "I had less time to go home before, thank them for supporting me all the time."
