The 2024 Paris Olympics officially kicked off a few days ago! Taiwan's Olympic team has also been reporting good results. "Taiwanese Butterfly King" Wang Guanhong finished 5th in his group and 11th overall in the men's 200-meter butterfly semi-finals at the Paris Olympics with a time of 1 minute 55.07. Although he missed the final, he is still the best ranked Asian athlete!

The Olympics is not only a stage for athletes to display their strength and passion, but also a sporting event that attracts global attention. The Olympic events are quite diverse. Which events are the most popular among netizens? This time, "Social Lab" uses the "OpView Social Word-of-Mouth Database" to track the online voice performance of the "Olympic Events" topic in the past three months, and let you know the ranking of the most discussed Olympic events.

Badminton: Tai Tzu-ying and Lin-Yang pairing expected to perform well

By observing netizens' discussions on topics related to the "Olympic Games" in the past three months, we can find that "badminton" is the most popular topic. Taiwan's first world badminton champion "Tai Tzu-ying" announced before the game that this year's Paris Olympics will be the "last dance" of her badminton career, which made many fans across Taiwan pay special attention to the women's singles schedule. They left messages to cheer for Tai, such as "No matter what the Olympic results are, I still think Tai is currently the best female badminton player in the world", "I am proud of Tai", "My legs are injured, so just play freely. Anyway, I won't play professional games in the future", etc., hoping that Tai Tzu-ying can enjoy her last Olympic game and have no regrets.

Li Yang and Wang Qi-lin, who won the men's doubles gold medal in the last Tokyo Olympics, partnered up again this time. However, due to an error in the points calculation by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), they had to play one more game in the group preliminaries. Netizens exclaimed that "Lin-Yang pairing is so unlucky" and they are looking forward to them making their way out of the death group.

"Basketball" The American Dream Team's luxurious lineup is highly discussed

In addition, "basketball" is also one of the most discussed events in this Olympics. Among them, the US men's basketball "Dream Team" has assembled the three giants of the NBA, "LeBron James", "Kevin Durant" and "Stephen Curry". The luxurious lineup of players has made fans around the world look forward to it, and whether the US team can win the fifth consecutive championship in this Olympics has also attracted much attention. On the other hand, the news that the Japanese men's basketball team returned to the Olympics after an absence of 48 years was widely reported on social media. Some fans said, "The improvement in Japan's average basketball strength is too terrifying," and "They should be number one in Asia." Some even said, "I hope the Chinese team can one day enter the Olympics."

Tennis star Hsieh Su-wei and the Zhan sisters attracted attention

Tennis is also one of the Olympic sports that has attracted much attention. The Chinese Open women's doubles duo of Hsieh Su-wei and Tsao Chia-yi won without a fight because their opponent suddenly withdrew from the match, advancing to the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympic women's doubles tennis event. Hsieh Su-wei also tied her personal best record in the Olympics. Following the 2012 London Olympics, Hsieh Su-wei once again represented Taiwan on the five-ring arena, competing in the women's doubles event with her 20-year-old partner Tsao Chia-yi. Many netizens paid close attention to the tacit understanding and performance of this pair, leaving comments such as "The Tsao team is on the move!" and "I'm looking forward to Hsieh Su-wei's performance this year."

In addition, also representing the Chinese team are the "Zhan sisters" Zhan Yung-jan and Zhan Hao-ching. In their first Olympic match, they will face the Czech team that won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. As the draw list is released, whether they can win in the tough battle has also aroused heated discussion among netizens. Also worth mentioning is the "breakdancing" event, which was newly added to this Olympics. This new competition is only open to 16 male and female dancers, and Taiwanese player "Sun Zhen" successfully grabbed a ticket to participate. As soon as the news came out, netizens were very excited and sparked heated discussions on the social network.

The Olympic events are in full swing. Let us cheer for the athletes’ wonderful performances and hope to achieve continued success!
