: Gymnastics champion Li
Li Yu 1973 was born in an ordinary worker's family in Xiantao, Hubei Province. 1983 joined the provincial team and 1983 joined the national team. Because of his poor health, he is still in the national team. At the 65438-0990 Asian Games in Beijing, Li won the gold medals in team and floor exercise in one fell swoop, and became famous in World War I.. 1992 At the 25th Olympic Games in Barcelona, he won the floor exercise championship and became the leader of the men's gymnastics team in China. In the 1994 and 1995 World Championships, as the main player of the team champion China team, he won the individual all-around champion in the 1995 World Championships, becoming the first China player to win the individual all-around gold medal in the gymnastics world championships; He won the individual all-around gold medal again at the 26th Olympic Games in Atlanta. In 1997, Li Yin left early with an ankle injury, but his fighting spirit still inspired the members of the China Gymnastics Team. His motto is: self-confidence is victory. Li and his twin brother Li Dashuang were born in a poor family. At the age of 6, their family let them choose gymnastics just to reduce their financial burden.
10 years old, grandpa took the burden and sent them to the provincial team. Xiao Shuang trains very hard. In order to pull the ligament, the coach pressed himself on his delicate leg until he passed the exam. In order to practice the horizontal bar, he wore out his hands and dyed the horizontal bar red with blood.
But fate has been playing tricks on the young man. Rejected by the national team twice. After going in, nobody took him seriously. Therefore, Xiao Shuang thinks that the coach must show his talents in the 1 1 Asian Games and finally win the individual gold medal of floor exercise as he wishes.
From 199 1, fate played a trick on him again. He was injured many times and fell into a slight concussion while testing new moves within three weeks. Then, at the world championship, he withdrew from the final. However, he did not flinch. When his teammate failed in the Barcelona Olympics, he lived up to expectations and boldly used the "back flip for three weeks" to win the only gymnastics gold medal for the China Gymnastics Team in the Barcelona Olympics.
: diving champion Hu Jia
Hu Jia, some people call him "desperate Saburo", others call him "God of War". But anyway, these words should not be associated with a 2 1 year-old boy. But in order to wait for four years of Olympic champion dream, Hu Jia said that there is only a fight, no retreat!
In the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the first place of diving team was Tian Liang, the second place was Huang Qiang, and the third place was Hu Jia. At that time, there were only two places for men's platform diving in the Olympic Games, and Hu Jia was a substitute.
One month before the competition, Huang Qiang trained in wrist fracture. It turns out that Huang Qiang and Tian Liang played in pairs. Suddenly one day, the team informed Hu Jia and decided to let him partner with Tian Liang. Everyone knows that Hu Jia has changed from a substitute to a direct election.
Hu Jia didn't expect that he would go to the Olympic Games, never won a national championship or even participated in a world series. For a while, public opinion was in uproar. "Are you happy and nervous when you hear this news?" At that time, almost every reporter would ask Hu Jia this question. "I'm happy, but I'm not nervous at all." Hu Jia analyzed the situation at that time: "First of all, only Suoding played against me abroad. We competed three times before the Olympic Games, and I beat him twice. Psychologically, I have no burden. In June 2000, I won a Tian Liang Prize in Xi, my hometown in Tian Liang. Anyway, no one else has compared it, so there is no need to be afraid. The more wit, the less courage. At that time, I had a feeling that I had no opponent! "
Hu Jia, 17 years old, was born in Sydney. For him, he is a blank sheet of paper, and any result of the game is normal for him.
In Sydney, Hu Jia danced well in the first three moves, and in the third move, seven referees even gave him 10. After the third step, the fledgling boy is 30 points ahead of Tian Liang. In the fourth movement 626B, Hu Jia kept telling himself, "Jump better, better, better ..." He boarded the platform, took off and rolled in the air, all of which were perfect. At the moment of entering the water, Hu Jia leaned back, followed by a large splash, and the audience booed! There is no doubt that this action of 626B is ruined. Because of this action, Tian Liang came from behind, 50 points higher than Hu Jia, ranking first with a total score of 2 1 point. In the last two moves, Hu Jia played steadily and won back 10. But he still lost, lost to Tian Liang, lost to his own immaturity. Hu Jia returned to China after winning two silver medals in synchronized platform and single platform. Flowers and applause are still waiting for him, but he is particularly unwilling: "If I can better control the moment of entering the water, the champion will be mine!" Hu Jia began to believe in himself: "If I have enough experience, I have the strength to become an Olympic champion! " "
After 2000, Hu Jia set himself a goal: to beat Tian Liang before Tian Liang retired. "Hu Jia took the initiative to ask the team to increase the difficulty for himself. Therefore, Hu Jia began to practice the action with the highest difficulty coefficient at that time. Following the World Diving Championships, Hu Jia made her international debut. Although he only finished fourth, some people began to say that Hu Jia was "the most difficult diver in China". Before long, Hu Jia began to practice 407B. This is a forward somersault, and then enter the platform. As long as the athletes are not careful, they may run into the platform, which is very dangerous. Someone jumped before, but no one dared to use it in the world series.
Two moves are Hu Jia's killer weapon. In order to practice them well, Hu Jia can't remember how many times he was injured. During training, the coach asked to jump five times. If Hu Jia is not satisfied, he must add five more to himself until he is satisfied. Hu Jia firmly believes that as long as you work hard, you will succeed one day.
Athens, a new cycle
At the Athens Olympic Games, Hu Jia told himself that this opportunity must be seized. But things are often not satisfactory. Three months before the Athens Olympic Games, Hu Jia sprained his ankle ligament in training. "At that time, my feet were swollen. I think, it's over, it won't be a broken ligament! Don't be the second Huang Qiang. " Fortunately, the team doctor's diagnosis is only a strain. For the next two weeks, Hu Jia stayed in bed according to the doctor's advice. The four major training sessions before the Olympic Games, namely the 2004 World Diving Grand Prix, were also held when Hu Jia was in bed. "The Olympic Games is just around the corner. Everyone else is seizing the opportunity of the contest to exercise more, and I ... "Hu Jia felt like a wild goose, utterly confused. A week before the last race of the Shanghai Grand Prix, Hu Jia finally recovered and participated in some team training. Hu Jia told himself that there was only one big competition to train before the Athens Olympic Games. Even if I jump on one leg, I will go, and I can't miss anything. "The injury is not good. It is best not to go. " The team leader and coach both gave Hu Jia such advice. Hu Jia didn't change her mind.
One week before the game, Hu Jia said that he took one minute of training time as two minutes, and Hu Jia increased himself like a madman. Finally, he had two injections and sewed it up. Hu Jia felt a terrible pain in his ankle throughout the game, but Hu Jia still won. This is the most difficult championship in his memory. With the end of the Shanghai Grand Prix, the drums of Athens slowly sounded.
Hu Jia began to secretly increase the amount for himself again. The coach criticized him for being afraid that he had practiced. Hu Jia has his own idea: "I will definitely try to attack any action that I don't practice to my satisfaction." And I feel that my strength is not enough and I need to practice more. "
In addition to training time, Hu Jia has to drag his parents to play badminton with him every day. He is a pair of two, and the old couple take turns, but he still can't stand it.
"The mood before the Athens Olympic Games is very complicated. I failed so many times before, and I didn't give up, just because my faith didn't break. Although sometimes I feel like vomiting after practicing, I will encourage myself to stick to it. "
In the early morning of August 29th, Beijing time, the day that Hu Jia expected finally came. He stood in the position he wanted to stand most-the men's 10 meter platform springboard of Athens Olympic Games. Like Sydney, Hu Jia played his first three moves normally and ranked fourth. The fourth movement, 407B, was first used by Hu Jia in the competition. In previous competitions, the success rate of this action was above 90%. He firmly believes that he won't make the same mistake as the Sydney Olympics again. Beautiful take-off, almost perfect somersault, Hu Jia succeeded, and he chased the score to the second place.
The last two movements, 307C and 5253B, were successfully completed by Hu Jia. The last jump, Hu Jia's highest score 100.98! Hu Jia finally won the first Olympic gold medal in diving career!
Table tennis champion Deng Yaping

At the age of 5, he learned to play ball with his father, 1988 joined the national team, 13 won the national championship, 15 won the Asian Championship, and 16 became the women's team and women's doubles champion in the World Championships. * * * has won 18 world championships in his sports career, second only to Wang Nan's 23, four consecutive Olympic champions, 1992 Barcelona women's singles and doubles and 1996 Atlanta women's singles and doubles. She has been ranked first in the table tennis world for eight consecutive years and is the longest-serving female athlete in the world.
Table tennis was officially listed as an Olympic event in 1988. Of the five Olympic gold medals won by the China Legion, table tennis accounted for two. Four years later, on 1992, China table tennis team was more dominant, and Deng Yaping also started an era of his own.
Deng Yaping's achievements are unmatched by others. She has become one of the pronouns of sports in China. Former IOC President Samaranch likes watching her games best. She will be patted on the cheek and invited to visit the headquarters of the National Olympic Committee in Lausanne.
After 1997, retired Deng Yaping went to Tsinghua University, Cambridge University and Nottingham University for further study, and obtained a bachelor's degree in English and a master's degree in contemporary studies in China.

In 2003, Deng Yaping became an employee of BOCOG Market Development Department. At present, Deng Yaping is the deputy director of BOCOG Olympic Village Department.
After the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, as representatives of sports circles, Olympic champions such as Deng Yaping, Yang Yang and Gao Min rushed to the disaster area to participate in post-disaster psychological rescue. In fact, Deng Yaping's own experience is an inspirational example. Because of her height, she was blocked by the sports school when she first started practicing, but she didn't give up prematurely because she liked table tennis. Under the leadership of her father, she studied hard, tied sandbags, and caught the ball more than 1 10,000 every day. After more than ten years of hard training, she overcame the disadvantage of height and changed the traditional concept of selecting athletes only among tall people in table tennis. This spirit also influenced her path after retirement. In the face of her studies, she still didn't flinch. From 26 English letters to BOCOG officials, Deng Yaping has proved her strength beyond table tennis.
She has also become a model for athletes' personal development.
There are many stories about Deng Yaping, including two representatives of Beijing's Olympic bid, the experience of four torchbearers, and the current officials of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee. Every sprint outside the court will remind people of her strength when playing: fearless, tenacious and super confident.
