After 120 years of development, the modern Olympic Games visited South America for the first time. The glory of the Olympics was passionately spread in this vast and mysterious land.

Nearly 28 athletes from all over the world gathered under the five rings to compete in 306 major events and 4 minor events in the Rio Olympics. Compared with the London Olympics four years ago, two major events, golf and seven-a-side rugby, were added. The first refugee delegation in history, consisting of 7 people, appeared at the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics. The Olympic veterans conveyed their expectations and yearnings for peace and friendship in a new way.

At the opening ceremony on the evening of August 2016, 8, the main creative staff, including Fernando Meirelles, the director of City of God, presented a visual feast of Brazil using lighting and 5D technology to the audience. From the paradise of indigenous people in the rainforest to a large number of immigrants and later a melting pot of nations, Brazil has shown its diverse culture to people all over the world, and the samba rhythm, rock, pop music, and bossa nova have conveyed the joy of Brazilians to every audience in the stands and in front of TVs around the world.

On the opening day of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, it was estimated that a total of 1.66 million viewers watched the opening ceremony through Yanjing Television.

After the lively and noisy opening ceremony, the Rio Olympics will usher in its first day of competition.

The first gold medal will be awarded on August 8, with 6 major events competing on the first day.

Olympic champions Du Li and Yi Siling from the Zhonghuajia shooting team will team up to compete for Zhonghuajia's first gold medal in the women's 10m air rifle, which may also be the first gold medal of the Rio Olympics. The men's pistol team led by Pang Wei will participate in the 10m air pistol final.

On that day, the three major ball sports of the Zhonghuajia will be collectively presented. The Zhonghuajia women's volleyball team led by Lang Ping is divided into Group B and will compete with the Netherlands, Italy, Puerto Rico, Serbia and the United States. This season, the Chinese and Dutch teams have had three encounters. In the Swiss Open, the Chinese second team narrowly defeated the Netherlands 3-3; in the Women's Volleyball Grand Prix China Hong Kong Station, the Chinese main force led by Lang Ping swept 2-3; in the Grand Prix Finals, the "Zhonghuajia Second Team" lost to the Netherlands 0-2. In summary, the Zhonghua women's volleyball team has a relatively large chance of getting off to a good start. Moreover, among the women's volleyball players, there is also our Chongqing player Yuan Xinyue, so this game cannot be missed.

The men's basketball team led by Yi Jianlian and the women's basketball team led by Chen Nan will face the United States and Canada respectively. The men's basketball team will focus on learning, while the women's basketball team needs to be well prepared to win. The women's football team, which has returned to the Olympics after an absence of 8 years, will face the South African team. If the girls want to qualify from the group, they must first get past South Africa.

In addition, the female swordsmen from China have the strength to challenge for the gold medal in women's individual epee. Xu Anqi ranks first in the world, Sun Yiwen and Sun Yujie are ranked 9th and 15th respectively. The three of them will appear in the individual competition.

As the gold medalist of the 400m and 1500m freestyle at the London Olympics, Sun Yang will appear in the men's 400m freestyle final, striving to defend his title and win the first gold medal for the Chinese swimming team in the Rio Olympics; Ye Shiwen, winner of two medley gold medals at the London Olympics, will compete in the women's 400m medley final.

However, on the first day of the competition, the two world-class players Du Li and Yi Siling, who had high hopes for the team, might have been under too much pressure. When the team focused all its attention on them, they failed to win the gold medal. Although this did not disappoint the audience, everyone was still a little disappointed after the shooting team won one silver and two bronze medals on the first day.

On the first day of the Rio Olympics, a total of 12 gold medals were awarded, with the flower-growing delegation winning 2 silvers and 3 bronzes. It was a rare pity that China failed to win the first gold medal on the first day of the competition.

However, everyone is very interested in who won the first gold medal in the Rio Olympics. So who won the first gold medal for China in the Rio Olympics? Who won the first gold medal for China in the Rio Olympics?

After the Chinese delegation spent the first day of the Rio Olympics without a gold medal, 25-year-old Zhang Mengxue stepped forward on the 7th.

In the eyes of the head coach, she is still just a child. She is indeed a new recruit of the national team. Zhang Mengxue, born in 1991, joined the national team at the end of 2014 and studied under coach Huang Wenhong. Before the Rio Olympics, she had not even won a World Cup championship. Zhang Mengxue said: "I am a new player and have few ideas. I also thought about the Olympic gold medal, but my main goal is to enter the finals."

She shot 10 points in the women's 199m air pistol final, winning the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation in the Rio Olympics.

Zhang Mengxue was so focused on the competition that she didn't even realize she had opened a ticket for the delegation's gold medal. "Really? First gold! I'm just happy. It doesn't seem like I have any special feelings about it." After winning the championship, the Shandong girl was as calm as ever.

Zhang Mengxue's winning journey was bumpy in the first half, but smooth in the second half. She only scored 384 points in the qualifying round, ranking seventh, the same as the ninth place who was eliminated. She only made it to the finals by taking the lead in the last group.

决赛前四枪更像没了希望。9．6、9．3、9．3、9．1环，这么打下去，张梦雪将早早被淘汰。她说：“开始几发确实很紧张。”

转机从第5发开始，10．8、10．4、10、2、10．3环，进入淘汰赛前，张梦雪慢慢地追了回来。凭借第17枪的10．9环，张梦雪领先优势越来越大，最后一枪前，她已经赢了金牌竞争对手2．8环。“一直看着成绩，领先较多让我心里更踏实”。

Russian athlete Batsaraskina and Greek athlete Krakacchi won the silver and bronze medals in the women's 10m air pistol respectively.

After winning one silver and two bronze medals on the first day, Zhang Mengxue's gold medal relieved the Chinese shooting team of more pressure. Head coach Wang Yifu said: "The Chinese shooting team once again took on the task of winning the first gold medal for the delegation. This is the result of the team's efforts. Zhang Mengxue is a young and innocent shooter. Her victory is a combination of strength, opportunity and luck."

The British BBC also praised her in its report: "Zhang Mengxue is ranked fifth in the world, but none of her opponents can match her stability. Once she takes the lead, she never lets the top spot slip away." "The 25-year-old newcomer has achieved impressive results in her first Olympic journey."

This little girl, Zhang Mengxue, quickly made headlines in major media outlets and successfully attracted a large number of fans.
