After the game, Huang Xiaoming once again posted a message to congratulate his cousin Chen Meng for the first time. Huang Xiaoming revealed that he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, and he wrote excitedly: "Thank you two athletes for bringing us such a wonderful game!" I can't breathe when I see it! The girls are all good! Congratulations Mengmeng! You did it! You withstood all the pressure and proved yourself again with your strength! You will always be our pride! All the hard work and sweat is worth it! Keep up the good work for the next races! ”
At the Tokyo Olympics 3 years ago, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha met in the final, but Chen Meng, who was at her peak at that time, defeated Sun Yingsha, who was still immature, 4-2 and won the Olympic women's singles gold medal for the first time. Three years later, Sun Yingsha has grown and ranked No. 1 in the world. And at the Paris Olympics, she met Chen Mengfeng again. Obviously, this time Chen Meng will undoubtedly face Sun Yingsha's more fierce impact.
In this final, both of them played at the highest level at the moment. In the first 4 games, both sides won 2 sets and tied 2-2. In the 5th game, Chen Meng scored 2 points in a row after 9 draws and won 11-9. In the crucial 6th game, Chen Meng withstood the pressure and successfully bit the final 11-6 to win the 6th game with Sun Yingsha frantically chasing points, thus defeating Sun Yingsha in the women's singles final of the Olympic Games again with a score of 4-2 in a row.
After winning the Olympic women's singles gold medal, Chen Meng also set a number of records. First of all, Chen Meng became the third Olympic singles champion in history to win two consecutive Olympic singles titles, the previous two being Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining.
