Many successful people are often called geniuses. We don't know whether their genius contributed to their success or whether their success made people admit their genius.

Li Ning is one of them. Because at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, he won three gold medals in men's floor exercise, pommel horse and rings, and he was praised by various languages. Some media said that he was "the greatest gymnast ever", some media said that he was a "tower of strength" and some media said that he was "Prince of gymnastics" and a "gymnastics genius".

Li Ning is really a genius.

as far as gymnastics is concerned, his talent is incomparable. Zhang Jian, the coach who trains Li Ning the most severely, also commented on him: "Indeed, he has all the conditions needed for an excellent athlete. There are innate qualities and acquired skills here. "

Li Ning's genius is not only manifested in gymnastics.

when he was very young, his father, who was a music teacher, found that his son could sing his own songs without distortion as long as he listened to them several times. At that time, my father was very excited and taught Li Ning, who was five or six years old, to practice the piano and sing. Every weekend, Li Ning's family would hold a small concert, with his father playing the piano, his mother clapping and his aunt dancing, with Li Ning's solo as the protagonist. Parents' colleagues and neighbors crowded their huts and cheered for Xiao Li Ning's performance from time to time. At that time, his father devoted almost all his efforts. He may not have expected his son to become Beethoven in China, but he seems to see his unsuccessful career in music and the continuation of his music career from Li Ning.

After all, gentle Li Ning is a boy, and it is inevitable that he will be naughty. What's more, when he was a child, his father, who was too busy with his work to care for his son, sent Li Ning to his grandparents in the countryside of Liuzhou, Guangxi, where he and his friends once played, somersaulted and played tricks, caught grasshoppers and burned them. His unrestrained and happy childhood gave him strength and wisdom.

After returning to Liuzhou to attend primary school, it was about the second grade. Li Ning was eight years old at that time. He climbed a window and discovered his "New World" from then on. That's the little gymnasts in the school, practicing somersaults under the guidance of the teacher. Li Ning was fascinated at once. When he got home, he spread the quilt on the ground and began his gymnastics "self-study".

Li Ning's father felt a little sad when he saw that his children who thought they had great prospects in music were fascinated by gymnastics, but he was open-minded and generous. After having a serious talk with his son, he reluctantly gave up what he wanted and sent Li Ning to the school's small gymnastics team.

A genius who becomes famous always has a lucky chance. Although he is small, he turns somersaults very well. Liang Wenjie, the coach of the gymnastics team in Guangxi Autonomous Region, took a fancy to him at first sight when he went to the primary school to choose "Miao Zi". It was only because he was too young that he was recruited to the team for training a year later. Moreover, he regarded this child who he thought was quite aura about gymnastics with special respect. He was in no hurry to achieve success, just let Li Ning take care of every basic movement. Three years later, Li Ning took part in the National Junior Gymnastics Championship, and accidentally won the first place in the floor exercise. Liang Wenjie was very happy and trained Li Ning more severely. Morning exercises, from running 1 meters to 2 meters; Pull-ups, give him a 15 kg barbell around his waist; To practice kicking, you should tie a sandbag before kicking ... A strict teacher makes a good apprentice. All this, Li Ning naturally felt bitter at that time, but it benefited him a lot in the future.

In the p>198 National Gymnastics Championships, Li Ning only got the second place in men's floor exercise and the third place in rings, and also ranked third in all-around points, but it won the favor of Zhang Jian, the coach of the famous national gymnastics team. What Zhang Jian appreciated most was Li Ning's down-to-earth basic skills, nature and the sensitivity that Zhang Jian had taught for many years-this young man, carefully carved, will definitely perform gymnastics in the future. He found coach Liang, the player, and the national team took it.

At that time, the national gymnastics men's team had many famous figures such as Tong Fei and Li Yuejiu. Zhang Jian asked Li Ning to work hard on beauty, uniqueness and adventure. He asked these old players to demonstrate to Li Ning, and he personally protected Li Ning to do all kinds of difficult movements. And Li Ning is also practicing very hard, so many famous people are seriously training, not to mention him. However, Li Ning's cleverness, or genius, is that he will carefully look at every movement detail of these other disciples, and when he has seen enough and remembered it, he will soon make qualified movements. Often, others have to fail many times to succeed in a new action, but he Li Ning may be able to master it only once or twice.

Li Ning also made mistakes. He once practiced the horizontal bar. When he was spinning on the bar, his strength was too strong, and his hands couldn't grasp it. His whole body flew out along the diagonal line. Just as he fell upside down from the sky, coach Zhang Jian stepped up and held out his arm. Li Ning was fine, but he heard a "click" sound from the coach's arm. Later, he learned that the coach's arm was broken to protect him. On another occasion, when practicing the rings, Li Ning did not flip in place and fell upside down, or Zhang Jian extended his arm again to protect him. This time, the coach was hospitalized with a broken tendon and returned to the training ground for two months.

Another year later, Li Ning became the main player in the team and participated in the 6th World Gymnastics Championships held in Yugoslavia. It was in this competition that he won five individual gold medals in floor exercise, horizontal bar, vault, rings and pommel horse, and at the same time became the all-around champion and the brightest star in that gymnastics world championship.

The Los Angeles Olympic Games was not easy for Li Ning. In the men's gymnastics team competition, although he and his teammates performed very well, they lost to the better American team by a small gap of .6 points and only won the silver medal. In the individual finals, Li Yuejiu and Li Xiaoping, the famous teammates, have been eliminated. And he, Li Ning, will be the first player in the China team, because the first final is floor exercise.

Li Ning came out with all her strength. Floor exercise is his strong point, and he will blow the charge to attack the Olympic gold medal in his own strong point.

In fact, under the guidance of the coach, the talented Li Ning constantly has his own unique and difficult movements. He will move Thomas on the pommel horse to the floor exercise, and when practicing pommel horse, he will change Thomas to translation. These transplants and changes made Zhang Jian amazed and excited. The unexpected change made his movements unique. With his basic skills and aura, he has the strength to win the championship.

Sure enough, in the floor exercise competition, Li Ning took out a 72-degree "spin" which was rare in the world at that time, followed by the natural and unrestrained Thomas full spin, and finally did not move like a nail when he landed for two weeks. The four referees present all gave him ten full marks.

Next, Li Ning gave a shot and could not accept it. Pommel horse, like vidmar of the United States, he got the highest score among all the players; Rings, and he tied for first place with Japanese star Gushiken.

Li Ning became the first athlete in China to win three gold medals at the Olympic Games.
