The Chinese men's gymnastics team, which has won the Beijing Olympics and won five consecutive world championships, suffered serious injuries in London this time and only ranked sixth in the qualifying round. However, in such a "desperate" situation, the Chinese team completed the 18-person competition in six events with "zero mistakes" in the finals. Captain Chen Yibing, who was crying on his bed at the Northern Ireland training camp two weeks ago after suffering a torn meniscus, said, "This must be the toughest victory I have ever experienced." The team members said that they wanted to give the gold medal to Teng Haibin, who left due to injury before the game. "This gold medal belongs to him."

The other two gold medals won by the Chinese Army that day came from diving and women's weightlifting. Cao Yuan and Zhang Yanquan won the men's synchronized 10-meter platform gold medal, and Li Xueying won the women's 58kg weightlifting championship. In addition, Sun Yang tied for runner-up with South Korean star Park Tae-hwan in the men's 200-meter freestyle final, and the world's number one 20-year-old Sun Yujie won the bronze medal in the women's epee individual event.

On the 30th, 12 gold medals were decided at the London Olympics. After the Chinese Legion won 3 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze, it ranked first in the gold medal list with 9 golds, 5 silvers and 3 bronzes.

Although each "lost" some gold medals in their traditional advantageous events, several delegations from East Asia generally made a good start in the competition a few days before the opening of the London Olympics.

In addition to the Chinese delegation, which has always been ranked first, the North Korean delegation is currently ranked fourth in the gold medal list with 3 gold medals. On the same day, Kim Eun-guk won the championship in the men's 62kg weightlifting competition and broke the world record for total score with 327kg. Japan’s judo has finally reached a draw. In the women’s 57kg competition, the famous star Kaoru Matsumoto broke the vicious cycle of repeated capsizing in the “national skill” event, winning the first gold medal for Japan’s judo team and the delegation. Currently, they are the only delegation outside China and the United States to have double-digit medals. In addition, South Korea currently ranks sixth with 2 gold medals.

The United States, which ranks second on the gold medal list, has the same number of 17 medals as China, but has 4 fewer gold medals. The two gold medals won by the United States that day all came from swimming. Veteran Greaves and "Female Fish" Franklin won gold medals in the men's and women's 100-meter backstroke events respectively.

In other finals on the 30th, Russian player Isayev won the men's 73kg judo gold medal. The little-known 15-year-old Lithuanian teenager Ruta Luti won the women's 100-meter breaststroke gold medal. France's Asniel won the men's 200-meter freestyle gold medal. Ukrainian beauty Shemyakina won the women's epee individual championship. Romania's Mordoveanu won the men's 10-meter air rifle gold medal.

Regrettably, there has been a little "noise" in the past two days of the London Olympics. Some foreign media questioned that the miraculous performance of Chinese swimmers "may be related to doping." Jonqvist, chairman of the International Olympic Committee's Medical Commission, said here on the 30th that doping testing covers all Olympic medalists and there is currently no evidence to support this speculation. He said: "Do you feel suspicious about these two days of swimming competition? My answer is 'no'. Personally, I have no other idea except applauding, unless I make new discoveries." Jiang Zhixue, who is responsible for anti-doping work of the Chinese delegation, also said that Chinese athletes have undergone nearly 100 doping tests, and the swimming team has received special "care", with the number of people ranking first among all events.

Chinese athletes generally had a smooth performance in the day's ball games. The Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the "dark horse" Turkish team 3:1, and the Chinese women's basketball team also defeated the European powerhouse Croatia 83:58. After the two teams won two consecutive games, they basically locked in the top eight. In addition, Chinese tennis, which focuses on doubles, has also achieved significant results. With all women's singles eliminated, Zheng Jie/Peng Shuai broke into the quarterfinals of the tournament, and Li Na/Zhang Shuai, who were paired for the first time, also advanced to the second round.

It is somewhat surprising that the Chinese men's weightlifting failed to win gold in the two minor categories where they were trying to secure gold medals. In the men's 62kg weightlifting competition that day, world champion Zhang Jie only succeeded once in three attempts each in the snatch and clean and jerk, ranking fourth with his lowest personal score in four years. "It's not good that he lost 6 kilograms before the game." Chen Wenbin, head coach of the men's team, said, "We have to make a good summary when we go back to prepare for the next game."
