Liu Xiang From national pride to disappointment, a glimpse of the bitterness behind the movement!
Fifteen years ago, a Chinese flyer challenged himself and the country's expectations in the Olympic arena. He is Liu Xiang, a name, a legend.
Let's go back to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when the whole country was boiling over. Liu Xiang, he is like a bright star, projecting the light of the country. However, an unexpected accident caused him to fall from the peak to the trough.
At that moment, Liu Xiang, who fell, seemed to fall with the dream of the country, and the enthusiasm of the audience suddenly turned into swearing, and he could only bow his head gloomily in the face of **'s questioning, and kept saying sorry.
But, in fact, Liu Xiang's mistake was not sudden. On the eve of the Olympics, he had an unbearable foot injury. The coach persuaded him to give up, but his determination was as strong as a rock, and even if he fell, he would fall on the track and field.
This failure is not a lack of effort, but the cost of effort is too heavy. On the day of the Olympics, Liu Xiang's foot was already in unbearable pain, but he still smashed his injured foot against the wall for the glory of the country, trying to numb his nerves. But this action only aggravated his injury, and he fell to the ground as soon as the match began.
At this moment, the Asian trapeze fell from the altar and was wildly accused by netizens. However, who knows how much effort and price Liu Xiang has paid to win glory for the country?His success was not accidental, but a long process of struggle that began in 1999.
In 1999, Liu Xiang successfully entered the national team and began to train harder. Not content with fourth place, he worked hard to prepare for the race, and eventually finished third in Lyon, France, and reached his first podium.
However, this was only the beginning of his career. Over the next three or four years, he trained even harder, won multiple championships, and managed to break the 14-second barrier, gradually improving from 13.87 seconds to 43.36 seconds. Although he is already at the top level in Asia, he understands that he still needs more training than the top players in the world.
At the 2002 Swiss Athletics Championships, Liu Xiang once again lived up to expectations, breaking the world record that no one had broken for 24 years with a time of 13.12 secondsHe has become the pride of China, breaking the stereotype of yellow people in the track and field field, and letting the world see the strength and potential of yellow people.
In 2004, Liu Xiang finally waited for the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games, successfully won the gold medal, and broke the world record!His victory made the Chinese proud, and he was known as the "Chinese Flyer" and "Gold Medal Harvester", becoming a legend in the history of Chinese athletics.
However, the success did not last long, and just a year later, Liu Xiang fell from the altar and suffered more than ten years of infamy. What the hell happened to him?Is his success talent or hard work?
Liu Xiang showed outstanding athletic talent from an early age and was sent to the school track and field team to receive professional training. Under the careful guidance of his coach, his sprinting skills have improved a lot. Coach Sun Haiping discovered Liu Xiang's talent in hurdles. Hurdles are a particularly difficult sport that requires athletes to cross obstacles accurately and quickly at high speeds. There are only a handful of people in Asia who have been able to achieve success in the sport of hurdles.
However, due to physical injuries, Liu Xiang has made two major mistakes in succession. He knew he wasn't fit to stay in athletics. So, he calmly announced the news of his retirement.
After retiring, Liu Xiang is no longer the energetic and sturdy athlete we remember. The passage of time and the plague of injuries left their mark on him. However, it is precisely this transformation that allows us to see a more real Liu Xiang.
He is no longer Liu Xiang who only has a halo and honor, but an ordinary person like us. The ups and downs of his life and the changes in his body resonate with us. Liu Xiang's predicament is not just about physical changes. The illness and the pain of the operation brought him great challenges. But he was not defeated by difficulties, but used his strong will and tenacious perseverance to overcome himself again and again.
Liu Xiang's story is not only a legend of an athlete, but also a country's mental journey. His success, his fall, and his persistence are all worth pondering. Perhaps, each of us can find some inspiration about perseverance and courage in his story.
