"My eyes are rulers!"I don't want the second, I want the first!”
Only the "speed skating king" Wang Meng dares to say such a bold ambition, and she does have such crazy capital.
77 gold medals, breaking the women's 500m and 1000m world records many times, and the first triple crown in the history of Chinese short track, and directly made South Korean athletes willing to become Chinese coaches and athletes to win glory for China.
There is no second person in the entire stadium with such a record, but who would have thought that Wang Meng, who has such a proud and brilliant record, has left a big "stain" on the sports field.
Even Wang Meng himself said that the most regrettable thing in his life is that he did not wash away this stain on his life.
So what kind of life stain does this glorious "big demon king" have?Why didn't the stain get washed away in the end?
Wang Meng, who was born in Heilongjiang, is simply a natural skater, and before the road is stable, she has already learned to skate, and is said by the neighbors to be a full-level child.
In winter, as long as she sees ice on the road, her legs itch and she wants to go up and slide. One day in elementary school,Her excellent skating skills were just witnessed by a passing speed skating coach.
The coach caught Wang Meng's seedling at that time and led her into the sports team, but because Wang Meng was only ten years old at the time, his feet were too small and there were no suitable skates, so a few days passed, and Wang Meng did not slip.
Seeing that others couldn't skate themselves, Wang Meng was anxious in his heart, urging the coach to quickly find shoes for himself, and finally found the right skate, Wang Meng happily put on the skate for a day.
Since then, Wang Meng has treated this pair of skates as a baby, and every time she finishes training, she must put the skate shoes away and wipe them before going to rest, and she has to look at them again before going to bed at night.
And Wang Meng not only loves speed skating like her life, but also is very talented, and can endure hardships, she has high requirements for herself every time, and must be perfect, so she is destined to become an excellent speed skater.
It's just that many people didn't expect that this little girl who looked big and grinning finally broke the world sports record, and her name became a trembling existence in other countries when they heard it.
He entered the national team at the age of 16, and won the 500-meter championship at the World Youth Championships for the first time at the age of 18, and became China's first champion.
Then in 2004, she won the 500m championship in the Netherlands, Italy, South Korea, and Hangzhou in the World Cup, and she was the first Chinese all-around speed skating female athlete that year.
But this record alone cannot make the name Wang Meng a world benchmark, and the reason why Wang Meng can become the world's recognized speed skating devil is thanks to Kimchi Country in the final analysis.
At Turin 2006, champion Wang Meng dominated the 1,500m speed skating race.
Unexpectedly, just when she was about to win the championship, the Korean athlete used a trick of "If I can't win the championship, I will kill everyone", pulling Wang Meng from the champion to the runner-up.
Wang Meng was originally a violent temper, and was made angry by the rogue approach of the Korean player, Wang Meng swore on the spot"Don't you like to pull, I let you touch me, you can only pull behind my ass, see if you still pull or not."
Soon, at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Wang Meng played against South Korea again, but the weather was not beautiful, and Wang Meng happened to have a severe cold and fever at that time.
But Wang Meng did not give up, but dragged his sick body and tried his best to teach South Korea a lesson.
At the beginning of the race, Wang Meng suddenly slipped to the lead, but such a distance would still give South Korea a chance, so Wang Meng increased his horsepower, put his hands behind his back, and left South Korea and other athletes behind.
After two laps, the South Korean athletes were thrown a few meters away by Wang Meng, and they couldn't even touch the corners of Wang Meng's clothes, even if they were so angry that their teeth were itchy, there was nothing they could do.
It is worth mentioning that in a speed skating competition like this, it is already very good to be one head ahead of the opponent, but Wang Meng left the other team members behind, which is unique in the history of speed skating.
In the end, Wang Meng, who was sick, won a crushing victory, and then won three consecutive championships in 500 meters, 1000 meters, and 3000 meters.
In the end, Wang Meng, who was draped in the national flag, said with tears in her eyes, "I have won glory for China", and at that moment she became a Chinese heroine, and at the same time became a nightmare for other countries.
After that, Wang Meng set world records one after another, directly creating his own "Meng era".
However, who would have thought that such a glamorous "big devil" Wang Meng would also leave a stain on the sports field?
It was Wang Meng's sixth year in the national teamUnder the training of coach Yi Min, Wang Meng became the largest main force in the Chinese speed skating team, and Wang Meng wanted to repay his mentor with a gold medal at that time.
However, unexpectedly, reality gave her a slap in the face.
One day, Wang Meng was about to discuss the next training plan with Coach Yimin, but was dragged to the sports field by his teammates to listen to people's speeches.
The person who spoke was a new Chinese female coach, but it turned out to be a standard English language, which made Wang Meng very uncomfortable.
Who is this?Come to our Chinese national team as a coach and still speak English?”
At this time, her teammates hurriedly told her that this was the new Coach Li Yan, who had just returned from abroad so she couldn't speak Mandarin well, and specially told her to be polite to this coach, because she would be their coach in the future.
Wang Meng was not happy when she heard it, she became a coach, so where did her Coach Yimin go?
Later, Wang Meng learned that Coach Yimin was replaced by Coach Li Yan, and his coach was changed like this, Wang Meng felt very uncomfortable, so his first impression of Li Yan was not good.
And the temper and training philosophy of the two are just different, Wang Meng has a straightforward personality, what to say, he is a quick temper, and the suitable training is also strict and demanding training.
But Li Yan's personality is very introverted, and she can't understand Wang Meng's violent temper, and she thinks that Wang Meng is already very powerful, so don't pay more attention to her.
In Wang Meng's opinion, Li Yan didn't care about her, but was better for other team members, and later Wang Meng had a back injury ** and wanted to ask for leave to rest, but Li Yan didn't understand and answered "no" directly.
This made Wang Meng even more angry, and he was not pretending to be sick and lazy, that is, because of this delay, Wang Meng finally upset in the 2007 Changchun Asian Games and only won the third place.
This incident suddenly attracted the attention of the first, how did Wang Meng, who is usually the favorite to win the championship, suddenly play abnormally?
Wang Meng originally had the character of saying something, and he had been resentful for a long time, so he blurted out:"The training method of the national team is not suitable for me, I will apply to return to the local team when I go back", the implication is to blame the coach for ignoring her, and she made a mistake.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and many unknown people, in the face of the reports of adding fuel and vinegar, accused Wang Meng of being ungrateful, and he was not grateful for being cultivated by the coach, and finally Wang Meng was punished and banned for three months.
And this incident also made Wang Meng and Li Yan learn to reflect, and they realized that their practices were inappropriate, and Li Yan finally gave Wang Meng the opportunity to compete again, and also paid attention to her and set up special training for her.
This allowed Wang Meng to complete the three consecutive championships in 2010, and at the end of the game, Wang Meng knelt down on the spot to worship his mentor after winning the championship in order to thank Li Yan's mentor.
Just like Wang Meng said, "Others respect me for a foot, and I return someone else", Wang Meng is a grateful person, so the two never deal with each other and become a master and apprentice with deep feelings.
However, life is always full of drama, and a later incident brought the relationship between the two to a freezing point.
In 2011, there began to be an incident on the Internet about beating people in Lijiang, saying that the short track speed skating champion beat people in Lijiang.
Regardless of the authenticity of the matter, everyone began to pay attention to the champion as soon as they saw the champion, and when it came to the speed skating champion, the keyboard warriors on the Internet pointed the finger at Wang Meng.
Before Wang Meng had time to explain that he was not in Lijiang that day, Wang Meng was exposed to beating people in Qingdao with the aura of a champion.
*exposed** Wang Meng's hand wrapped in gauze also beat her to death, although the original truth was not necessarily Wang Meng's fault, but all the infamy at that time fell on Wang Meng, and the other party was forgotten by everyone throughout the whole process.
However, writing a review of being banned is not the saddest, the key is that none of her mentors and former comrades-in-arms have stood up for her.
So Wang Meng was portrayed more and more blackly, not only saying that she was very violent, but also spreading rumors that she used a knife to cut people at that time.
At that time, Wang Meng** was still a highly sought-after champion, but became a lost dog that everyone wanted to scold for two sentences.
At that timeWang Meng's heart is to hurry up and rush to the arena again, after all, everyone will not listen to what she says, and only if she wins glory for the country again can she wash away this stain.
In the end, however, this wish can only become a regret.
In 2013, Wang Meng finally made a comeback again, and the opportunity to prove her is finally coming to the Sochi Olympics.
So at that time, Wang Meng had enough strength to prepare for this Olympic Games, just to prove himself again in this Olympic Games.
Then, 20 days before the Sochi Olympics, Wang Meng unfortunately broke a bone during training, which made her miss the Sochi Olympics and gave her no chance to prove herself.
Because Wang Meng was 29 years old at that time, after the best sports period, her back injury and this fracture have also made her body no longer able to support her to participate in the competition.
In 2014, Wang Meng left the national team, and her miraculous "Meng era" also came to an end, and her life also left eternal regrets.
Even now, when Wang Meng remembers that year, he will regretfully say that if she can participate in the Sochi Olympics, she will definitely be able to set another world record.
But now, Wang Meng, who loves speed skating like his life and loves the country so much, is no longer entangled in the previous things, but has turned to a new journey.
In 2018, Wang Meng became the head coach of the national training team, and she not only brought out many outstanding speed skaters such as An Kai, Ning Zhongyan, Gao Tingyu, Zhou Yang, and Liang Wenhao.
also led the team to end the 56-year history of no gold medal in the Chinese men's speed skating 1500m event world championships, and even recruited South Korean athletes Ahn Hyun-so and Lim Hyo-jun.
Ahn Hyun-so, once the uncrowned king of short track speed skating, is now the technical coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team, while the Chinese national Lim Hsiao-jun also won a gold medal for China at this year's Asian Games.
Although Wang Meng was questioned and infamous a lot, she also had conflicts with coach Li Yan, and she was out of the national team four times, but her contribution to the national team and China's speed skating is undoubted.
