In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on the Internet about the topic of interest: Is it possible for good-looking people to enjoy extra convenience in real life? The topic sparked heated controversy, but most people agreed: good-looking people are usually more likely to be treated amicably in life, and even world champions are more popular. For example, looking back at 2017, the marriage of retired gymnastics champion Zhang Chenglong and his girlfriend of a rich woman attracted widespread attention. The couple's road to acquaintance actually stems from Zhang Chenglong's outstanding appearance, because his appearance made the other party take the initiative to pursue it, and finally came together. So, how did Zhang Chenglong and his rich girlfriend meet? How are they doing now?
Zhang Chenglong, a tall gymnast, was born in May 1989 in Zibo, Shandong. Although his family was not wealthy, just an ordinary working family, his parents did not hesitate to raise him. According to Zhang Chenglong's recollections, he was required by his parents to consume enough protein every day since he was a child, and milk and eggs became frequent guests at his table. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Chenglong is obviously taller than his peers. In 1995, the coach of the Zibo gymnastics team came to his school to select potential gymnasts. With his outstanding height and superior physique, Zhang Chenglong stands out. Subsequently, the coach negotiated with his parents to send Zhang Chenglong to the gymnastics team for professional training. Zhang Chenglong worked very hard, coupled with the advantage of his figure, and quickly made his mark in the gymnastics team. At the same time, the coach of the Shandong diving team also noticed him. In 1998, the coach of the Shandong diving team believed that Zhang Chenglong's choice of diving was more likely to be successful, and successfully persuaded his parents to let him switch to the diving team. Therefore, under the arrangement of his parents and coach, Zhang Chenglong transferred from the gymnastics team to the Shandong diving team for a month of training. The results did not disappoint the diving coach and he performed well. However, Zhang Chenglong is not very fond of diving, and he would rather return to the gymnastics team for gymnastics training. At his insistence, he eventually left the diving team and ended his short diving training. In 2002, with his outstanding performance, he successfully entered the national gymnastics training team, but failed to be selected for the national team during the selection process. At the age of 16, he competed in the National Games, and although he had been training for more than a decade and had been performing well, he had not been able to achieve a good place in the National Games due to his height. For gymnasts, being too tall can sometimes affect performance. The height he was once proud of has now become his disadvantage, which is a heavy blow to Zhang Chenglong.
Zhang Chenglong, a world champion, considered retiring from the team after losing at the National Games, but unlike ordinary people, he had little way out. He was selected to be trained in the team since he was a child, and he did not have the opportunity to study with peace of mind like other children. Now 16 years old, if he wants to go back to school, it is obviously too late. For gymnasts, sixteen or seventeen years old is still the first age group. Zhang Chenglong was depressed, but his parents and coach did not blame him for the failure of the National Games, but have been comforting and encouraging him. With their encouragement, he decided to hold on for another year. In 2008, in the horizontal bar final of the National Gymnastics Championships, Zhang Chenglong won 14The result of the 925 was the second place.
Zhang Chenglong, who had lost confidence in gymnastics, re-embarked on the road when he was ready to give up. This outstanding performance attracted the attention of national team coach Chen Xiong, who went to Shandong to inspect Zhang Chenglong. After three days of inspection, Chen Xiong believed that Zhang Chenglong was a valuable seedling, and with his serious attitude and hard work, he decided to recruit him into the national team. In 2009, Zhang Chenglong participated in the National Games again, although he still did not achieve outstanding results, but compared with the previous National Games, his performance has improved significantly. In the years that followed, he continued to follow his coach's instructions and train closely in gymnastics. In October of the same year, Zhang Chenglong participated in the World Championships and won the first gold medal in his gymnastics career, which finally attracted the attention of the sports world.
In 2014, Zhang Chenglong once again won the men's team championship by a narrow margin in the World Championships, representing the Chinese gymnastics team with full honor again. However, in 2016, Zhang Chenglong went to the Rio Olympics with his teammates, but due to too much pressure, the results were not as good as before. Zhang Chenglong said in an interview that because there are many demerit factors in the horizontal bar event, he deliberately reduced the difficulty when choosing the move.
However, despite this, he still failed to achieve good results and even made mistakes, which made him blame himself very much. But as a sports athlete, he knows the importance of mindset. Since then, he has not sunk, but has worked hard to adjust his mentality and dedicate himself to his daily training. After a brief defeat, Zhang Chenglong emerged again in the subsequent National Games. At this time, he was already a veteran in the gymnastics world, and coupled with his previous Olympic mistakes, many people on the scene were worried about his condition.
However, Zhang Chenglong unexpectedly relied on his smooth movements and rich experience to 14733 points won the championship. After the race, he went through a lot of difficulties, but in the end he won the championship.
After experiencing twists and turns in his professional and personal life, Zhang Chenglong has achieved success in both professional and emotional life. In 2008, Zhang Chenglong, who achieved good results in the National Gymnastics Championships, had a relationship with Zhao Ziyan. At that time, Zhang Chenglong attracted Zhao Ziyan's attention with his excellent appearance. However, neither of them made any further moves at that time, until Zhang Chenglong competed in the London Olympics, and the two met again in London.
Zhao Ziyan believes that there is an indescribable fate between the two, and it is a God-given fate for her to be able to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and meet again in a foreign country. Zhao Ziyan thinks that Zhang Chenglong is down-to-earth and reliable, with outstanding appearance, and is also a world champion. When they were in London, they went to a party of mutual friends together. After the party, Zhao Ziyan took the initiative to ask ***, and she frequently asked Zhang Chenglong to go out to eat and watch movies together.
At that time, Zhang Chenglong didn't realize that Zhao Ziyan had any special meaning to him, because the social circles of the two were too different, and he had no clue how to get along with such a celebrity. However, Zhao Ziyan was unwilling to give up and continued to pursue him, launching a fierce offensive against him. In the case of a woman chasing a man, Zhang Chenglong was quickly captured by her, and the two came together smoothly. After becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, Zhang Chenglong had deeper feelings for Zhao Ziyan.
In 2015, with the help of his friends, Zhang Chenglong released a marriage proposal on the big screen of the central shopping mall**, and proposed to his girlfriend on the spot, and the sweet scene touched everyone. After Zhao Ziyan fell in love with Zhang Chenglong, she also began to learn about gymnastics seriously, encouraging and comforting him after losing the competition. Zhang Chenglong is an introvert, and for him, the support and encouragement of his wife adds color to his training life.
Today, although he no longer competes as a gymnast, Zhang Chenglong has become a gymnastics coach. He and his wife have a happy life, and in 2017 they ushered in a new life, and their relationship is still very stable.
