On August 10, 2016, in the final of the women's double 10-meter platform of the Rio Olympic Games, Chen Ruolin and Liu Huibian completed a seamless cooperation and won the Olympic championship with a score of 354 pointsThis is also Chen Ruolin's fifth Olympic gold medal.
As a legend in women's diving, Chen Ruolin has won the world championship at the age of 14, creating her legendary story in the sports world, but such a Hall of Fame figure in the sports world has a very tortuous childhoodAt the age of 3, she was abandoned by her parents, and it was not until Chen Ruolin became a five-time Olympic gold medalist that her mother came back to recognize this daughter, how would Chen Ruolin react to this?
In the cold winter of 1992, Chen Ruolin was born in an ordinary family in Nantong, Jiangsu, she is the second child of her parents, and she already has an older brother above her.
This family with both children should be happy, but the conflict between the parents has broken the familyChen Ruolin's parents divorced when she was 3 years old.
If the divorce of parents is just to break a family,The patriarchal point of view made Xiao Ruolin's childhood completely gloomy.
Chen Ruolin's parents are reluctant to support their daughterIn the end, the father left the family alone and was never heard from, while the mother ruthlessly took Chen Ruolin's brother to Australia, completely breaking up with the original family.
Fortunately, Chen Ruolin's grandparents loved this granddaughter very much, so the two old people decided to raise Ruolin, and since then they have changed their surname to Chen, and they have also changed their names to their grandparents.
But after all, they are old, and they were fine when Chen Ruolin was young, and their bodies were quite tough, but when Chen Ruolin grew up, they might not even be able to take care of themselves, so the two kind-hearted old people,decided to pass Chen Ruolin to his son, who is Chen Ruolin's uncle.
Growing up, Chen Ruolin was frail and sickly, and she couldn't see that she was a future Olympic athlete at all, so her grandfather took her to an amateur sports school in the city to learn Xi swimming in order to change Chen Ruolin's physique.
Originally, I just wanted Chen Ruolin to change her weak physiqueUnexpectedly, a diving coach named Gao Feng in the school accidentally discovered Chen Ruolin's unusual talent.
When Gao Feng saw Chen Ruolin at first, he felt that she was slender and her limbs were coordinated, maybe she was a diving seedling, but she didn't take it too seriously, after all, physical talent is only a part, and there are many such seedlings.
Gao Feng first tied a rope to Chen Ruolin's bodyThen he threw Chen Ruolin, who had never tried swimming, into the poolalso pushed her to the ** area of the pool, and then Coach Gao Feng leisurely started a conversation with Chen Ruolin's grandparents, not caring about Xiao Ruolin's situation in the water at all.
As a result, Gao Feng hadn't been chatting with others for long, when he suddenly heard a commotion by the pool, which was the movement of someone coming ashore, accompanied by the sound of a little girl pantingGao Feng couldn't imagine looking back, and sure enough, the person who went ashore was Chen Ruolin!
Gao Feng has been a coach for so many years, and he has never seen such a good child in waterHe immediately realized that Chen Ruolin was a genius that he had not met in a century. Then he hugged Chen Ruolin tightly and said excitedly to her grandparents: "I want to decide this child, she must be a good seedling." ”
Since then, Chen Ruolin has started diving training, and since then she has not only gotten rid of her frail side, but also performed well in the teamBut fate once again put Chen Ruolin to the test, and an accident happened.
During a training session, Chen Ruolin accidentally collided with her teammates when she fell into the waterThis accident caused Chen Ruolin's arm to be fracturedHowever, a big game was just two months away.
What's worse is that the doctor said that even if it was **,Chen Ruolin's arms could not be fully straightened, which was fatal for diversBecause diving must ensure the completion of the action, is Chen Ruolin's diving career ending hastily?
At this desperate time, Chen Ruolin's Bole coach Gao Feng made a bold suggestion, that is, let Chen Ruolin accept the orthopedics.
Osteopathy is to put the fractured limb on a balance beam, and then forcibly press the fractured limb to recovery, which is an extremely painful unconventional**, and adults cannot tolerate itBut Chen Ruolin was only six years old at this time.
In the end, Chen Ruolin accepted the coach's suggestion, and this courage was completely due to her love for diving.
When the bone was corrected, Chen Ruolin's adoptive father accompanied him, watching his daughter suffer unimaginable pain from ordinary people, and his adoptive father's heart was also dripping blood, but after the ** ended, Chen Ruolin said to him:"Dad, don't tell your grandparents about this when you get home. ”
Chen Ruolin was afraid that her grandparents would worry about her, and then objected to her continuing to dive, but her father, who loved his daughter, did not agree to his daughter's request, and he told Chen Ruolin's grandparents all this after he went backBut Chen Ruolin, who is only 6 years old, showed the same determination as an adult, and she said that she must jump.
Then Chen Ruolin not only resumed training after a few days of rest, but also won the fourth place in the competition two months later, and because of this excellent performance, Chen Ruolin successfully entered the provincial sports school at the age of 7.
After coming to a more professional sports school, Chen Ruolin also began a semi-closed school life, in the dormitory, she chatted with her roommates, and in the topic of what she wanted to do when she grew up, Chen Ruolin's classmates all said that they wanted to be a sports coachBut Chen Ruolin said confidently: "I want to be an Olympic champion!"”
Chen Ruolin's dream, no one around me really believed in it at that time, they only thought that Chen Ruolin was fun, and even her grandparents were laughing at her, after all, the Olympic champion was too far away for ordinary people.
But Chen Ruolin, who is only 7 years old, is very serious, and she has not retreated from her dreams.
The provincial sports school is in Nanjing, and Chen Ruolin has been living, learning Xi and training in Nanjing for a long time, and her grandmother is reluctant to let her go, so as long as she has time, she will take a long distance to accompany her granddaughter.
According to her grandmother's recollections, Chen Ruolin's training intensity at that time was very high, because she was too distressed, as a grandmother, she wanted Chen Ruolin to give up more than onceBut when she was a child, Chen Ruolin showed maturity and perseverance that adults did not have, no matter how hard and tired she was, she persevered.
Chen Ruolin's efforts finally paid off, when she was 11 years old, she won three gold medals in the National Children's Diving Competition in a row, and at the age of 13, she won the fifth place in the national championshipsThis talented girl who was born out of thin air officially entered the national team's field of vision and was called up to the national diving team at the age of 14.
In just her first year of entering the national team, she was selected into the Chinese team squad for the Diving World Cup, and won the mixed team championship, women's team championship and women's double championshipIn her 11-year career, she won 22 world titles, five of which were Olympic titles, and was only 24 years old in the final year of her career.
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, this journey was different for Chen RuolinFirst of all, she had accumulated a lot of injuries in her body at that time, and the doctor even told her that if she insisted on participating in the Rio Olympics, she would be at risk of being paralyzed.
But Chen Ruolin still didn't want to give up the last chance to play the Olympics, she participated without hesitation, and partnered with Liu Huibian to win her fifth Olympic gold medal!
In addition, there was an unexpected spectator in the arena during this competitionShe is Chen Ruolin's biological mother.
The appearance of Chen Ruolin's biological mother made many people feel inappropriate at that time, because she abandoned her when Chen Ruolin didn't remember, and now she is famous and comes back to recognize each other, no matter what, this kind of behavior still makes many people ashamed, but Chen Ruolin did not show any grievances.
When Chen Ruolin learned that her biological mother came to the scene to cheer for her, she was very excited, and after winning the gold medal, she found her biological mother, and the two hugged each other tightly, just like an ordinary mother and daughter.
Chen Ruolin does not have too much resentment, for her, the recognition of her biological mother is more important than the Olympic gold medal, with this touching scene, Chen Ruolin also announced her retirement due to injury, ending her brilliant sports career.
