At this year's Paris Olympics, the red soil of Roland Garros witnessed the Chinese national tennis team continue to make history and win one gold and one silver.
In the mixed doubles tennis competition on August 3, the Chinese pair Wang Xinyu/Zhang Zhizhen won a silver medal, which was also the first time that Chinese tennis won a medal in the mixed doubles event at the Olympics.
In the subsequent women's singles final on August 4, Chinese player Zheng Qinwen defeated Croatian player Vikic 2:0 to win the first singles gold medal in Olympic history for the Chinese tennis team. She also became the first Asian player to win the Olympic women's singles tennis championship, becoming the well-deserved "Queen Wen".
It has been 16 years since Li Na won fourth place in the women's tennis singles at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and 20 years since Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the women's tennis doubles championship at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
On the court, all three wore professional Adidas tennis sportswear and shoes. Among them, Wang Xinyu also wore adidas Barricade 13 tennis shoes.
It is reported that Wang Xinyu/Zhang Zhizhen are a temporary team before the game, and the Olympic Games are enjoyable for them. "I think it is a very good experience for me to participate in the Olympics, not to mention winning such a medal. I am proud of myself." Wang Xinyu said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters at the Adidas House in the center of Paris.
As a solid backer of the Chinese national tennis team, Adidas' brand spirit of "YOU GOT THIS" was perfectly demonstrated in these two games. The three Chinese players fought not for points or prize money, but only for the honor of the country, enjoying the challenges and happiness brought by each game.
It is reported that in 2022, Adidas officially announced that it would become the official partner of the Chinese Tennis Association. Joining hands with the Chinese Tennis Association is one of Adidas' major initiatives to look forward to the future and continue to be optimistic about the Chinese market. Adidas has not only become the exclusive equipment supplier of the Chinese national tennis team, but will also jointly launch a youth tennis promotion project with the Chinese Tennis Association to promote the comprehensive development of Chinese tennis.
