On the playing field, even if my life is in danger, I will never give in.
Liu Xuan recalled that moment, and in an interview, she said this touching sentence affectionately.
Everything in destiny is fortunate to have a clear value label!
In 2000, she crossed the threshold of 21 years old, bravely entered the Olympic Games, and won the first Olympic gold medal in women's gymnastics balance beam for China with a winning attitude.
When I was 36 years old, I married Wang Tao. When posting our couple ** many years ago, he laughed at himself as a "poor boy", and joked that our couple t-shirt and photo shoot cost only added up to 63 yuan.
Liu Xuan has similarities with another woman known as the "queen" of sports, both of whom married into different families. One is married to a top wealthy family in Hong Kong, while the other is married to a poor young man. Some people are puzzled as to why Liu Xuan voluntarily lowered his status.
She did not give any explanation to the questions of netizens, but said that she never regretted it.
The true identity of her husband Wang Tao was finally revealed, and some people unequivocally said that her marriage was happier than Guo Jingjing's.
Success is not inevitable, it only comes to those who work hard.
She was born in 1979 from an ordinary Hunan family in Changsha.
During her childhood, she was very fragile and often suffered a mild illness every three days and a more serious illness every five days.
Her parents encouraged her to strengthen her physical fitness by training in gymnastics at the age of five and sent her to the Children's Palace.
Her mother's experience was at the root of that decision.
Her mother, who had been weak since childhood, became physically fit and became an athlete.
Due to poor health, her mother did not have the opportunity to represent her country in competitions and bring glory to the country.
At the Children's Palace, he was the youngest at that time, only five years old.
Despite her young age, she is full of boundless energy, listening to the teachings and practicing her movements with great concentration in every class.
Gradually, the teacher discovered that she was young and petite, but had an excellent talent in gymnastics.
She joined the Hunan Provincial Gymnastics Team in 1987 and began to train more professionally.
In order to strengthen her courage, the coach deliberately asked her to sign up for the 1990 National Gymnastics Championships in Sichuan.
It wasn't surprising to her that her horizons were broadened in the showdown with the national players, and she also achieved her goal of honing her guts.
At the 1992 National Gymnastics Championships, she won the uneven bars championship with an outstanding performance.
At the age of 11, she became the youngest national champion on the uneven bars.
She tried again in 1993 and managed to win the women's team title at the National Games.
She became a member of the national team that year, when she was only 12 years old.
At just 12 years old, he left home and set foot alone in a faraway place to begin his journey of life and training. His parents' hearts were like knives, and they were extremely reluctant.
She hadn't expected such a hard life in training.
She excels in high-pitch and balance beams, and every day she rubs her hands against the machine and needs to apply magnesium powder on a sponge to her palms.
The hands are in a constant state of rubbing for most of the day, resulting in a situation full of calluses.
The calluses on the palms of the hands continue to thicken with friction, and when they thicken to a certain extent, they need to be cut with a blade.
If you don't have a high level of skill and skill, you may accidentally injure your hands when you cut a cocoon.
By the time she was seven years old, she had mastered the use of a blade to skillfully cut the calluses on the palms of her hands.
She still remembers that because of the frequent purchase of blades, she attracted the attention and inquiries of the blade sellers.
The boss only learned after her father told him that she was studying gymnastics and that she used a blade to shave calluses off her palms.
Her boss was so touched by her words that he generously gave her a large pile of blades.
Although she has long since adapted to the rigors of gymnastics training, the intensity of training for the national team is still beyond her imagination.
Training starts at 6 a.m. and lasts until 7 p.m.
Under the guidance of the coach, she kept repeating the exercises, and even though the palms of her hands were blistered with blood, she never made any sound.
She persevered in hard training, and no matter how hard she toiled, she could not lose confidence. Instead, it made her constantly review her goals and determined to achieve her dream of becoming a champion.
In 1994, she won the silver medal on the uneven bars at the Asian Games in Japan, which brought her closer to her goal of becoming a champion.
In the 1995 China Cup International Gymnastics Championships, she won the women's individual all-around championships in floor exercise, balance beam and women's all-around.
She has won many gold medals and has become a shining star in the sports world at that time.
However, such good times did not last long, and her career suffered a huge setback.
It was at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics that she will never forget.
She performed well in the competition, perfectly completing a unique and extremely difficult set of training moves, and finally won in first place.
However, when the rankings were announced the next day, she was listed as ninth.
She brushed shoulders with the World Champion just overnight.
The FIG could not approve of her original "one-arm loop" maneuver because it was too difficult and dangerous, as explained by the Olympic Committee.
In the face of this unfairness, she held back her tears and faced such a huge change.
Only she knew that the cry and cry in her heart was as she said: it was a cry that no one else could perceive.
It was a nightmare for her career, affecting her performance on the Circle many times.
Even, this situation also caused her to be too distracted during training and caused an injury.
During training, she accidentally fell off the horizontal bar while considering whether to continue trying difficult and original moves, resulting in a ruptured ligament in her left foot.
What she experienced at the time was not only physical pain, but also public condemnation and denigration of her.
When her career entered a low point and a period of confusion, she made the choice to retire.
At the age of 17, she decided to retire from the national team and rejoin the Hunan provincial team.
She's back to the place that makes her sad, and it's so devastating.
After she returned to the provincial team, she was expected to participate in training and the National Games in Beijing as a representative.
When she returned to Beijing for training, she realized that the two coaches she usually coached were not in China.
Despite the flustering feeling of such a result, she quickly regained her composure and began training independently and methodically.
At the Asian Games in South Korea in May 1997, she won the women's individual all-around and balance beam titles.
She was again selected for the national team in November of the same year, serving as captain of the national gymnastics team.
At the "Gymnastics World Cup" held in Canada, she made a splash in May 1998, winning the uneven bars championship.
She won the women's team title in November at the International Gymnastics Competition in China.
At the 1999 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand, she successfully won the "women's balance beam" and "women's individual all-around" championships.
The experience of winning multiple championships has completely transformed her career and reputation.
At the age of 20, she became the oldest athlete on the gymnastics team.
The coach made a suggestion for her: when she was at the peak of her career, she chose to retire, which would be her perfect farewell moment.
However, she has always felt some regrets in her heart, and is still eager to promote her career through hard work.
She made a very courageous decision as a result.
In 2000, she resolutely signed up for the Olympic Games as a representative of the Chinese women's gymnastics team.
She was once again controversial, and this time the decision played a key role.
When many learned that her name was included in the Chinese women's gymnastics team's Olympic roster, her ability was met with constant questioning.
At the Olympics, the 21-year-old represented her national team, raising questions from some about her overconfidence. There is no precedent for such a situation on the international stage.
It has also been pointed out that they may face challenges with flexibility and lack of physical strength due to their age.
Undeterred, she bravely faced the pressure and began to train hard as the devil was boiling, and despite the many voices of skepticism, she went against the current.
On September 25, 2000, an unforgettable moment befell her career at the Sydney Olympics.
In the balance beam competition, she finished with an outstanding 9825 points overwhelmed the crowd and won the championship.
She didn't rely on super-difficult moves to increase her score this time, but instead relied on her excellent stamina and agility to win.
Not only did she win her first Olympic gold medal, but she also became the first Olympic champion in the Chinese women's gymnastics balance beam event, completely ending the history of no Olympic champion in this event.
She became a legend in the domestic gymnastics world, at that time.
Looking back on the trip to the "Sydney Olympics" many years later, the interviewees were full of emotion.
During training after deciding to compete, she said she was injured. When she fell off the balance beam, her head and butt collided.
The coach, in order to prevent her from being in danger as she continues to train, advised her to think about whether she needed to find a replacement to compete.
In response to her coach, she said that even if death strikes, she will never give in and is determined to leave her life on the field.
She then used the ointment in training and wore it throughout the race from the first race to the end of the match.
Her career has been full of ups and downs, attracting a lot of attention, and she often appears in front of the big screen.
At the height of her career, she chose to retire heroically.
She decided to retire from her career in 2001 at the age of 22.
After retiring, she stepped into the entertainment industry to seek development.
She met He Jiong, who was working as a DJ in Beijing at the time, and developed a close friendship with him.
Once, He Jiong moved, and when she went to help, she ran into Wang Tao and also went to help.
When the two first met, they surprised each other by their appearance.
She has been an athlete since she was a child, and she feels uncomfortable with Wang Tao, who has long hair.
Wang Tao, as a gentle ** talent, was very shocked when he saw her split while eating.
Two first-time people make a big impression on each other, and that's it.
In the end, under He Jiong's matchmaking, the two walked towards each other.
Wang Tao has been silently waiting behind her, so as not to have any impact on her development in the entertainment industry.
After she stepped into the entertainment industry, she showed perseverance and hard work in the sports world, which led to a fairly good development.
She has shown her talent in many film and television works such as "My Beautiful Homesickness", "Me and My Father", "The Ultimate Goal" and "Singing in the Middle of the Night", and has actively participated in many variety shows. Among them, the first-class performance program "Fame Shock" brought her the honor of champion.
It is undisguised that winning the glory of the world championship is both an aid and an obstacle on her way to the development of the entertainment industry.
In her entertainment career, this not only played a positive role in promoting her, but also easily caused her to fall into public criticism.
For example, when she participated in the program "Fame", she and Pu Shu performed a close-fitting dance together, which caused complaints and criticism from the audience.
Her fashionable dress and wild dancing style, which is completely different from the image of a world champion, caused a strong contrast in the eyes of the public.
There are even rumors that he is Pu Shu's "little three", causing her to be almost attacked by the whole people.
She learned a truth from this experience: the sinister degree of the entertainment industry is far beyond her imagination, and hard work alone is not enough, but also need to understand the sophistication of human feelings.
She has a tenacious personality, and in the face of a steady stream of doubts and abuse, she is glad that she has Wang Tao always accompanying, trusting and encouraging her.
She is 36 years old and ushered in another milestone in her life in January 2013, marrying Wang Tao and starting a new chapter in her married life.
When Wang Tao officially announced the news of their marriage, he said that they had ended their 12-year long-distance love run, and shared their love affair with each other.
At that time, Wang Tao joked that he was a poor young man, and he and his girlfriend only spent 63 yuan to buy couple clothes and take pictures.
Some people blessed their marriages, while others felt unfair to them and thought they were doing"The queen of sports", Guo Jingjing married a top wealthy family in Hong Kong, but she married a poorer person.
Although the public questioned her, she did not explain much, but expressed her gratitude to Wang Tao for always being by her side during her most difficult times, and insisted that she had no regrets about marrying him.
As time passed, some netizens uncovered the mystery of Wang Tao's life experience and found that he was the only son of Sichuan football veteran Wang Maojun, and his father had hundreds of millions of family assets.
Wang Tao is not only a well-known orchestral musician in China, but also represented China in the "Bucharest International Festival". In addition, he holds a professorship at *** College.
Some people said that with these advantages, the conditions for her to marry are no worse than Guo Jingjing.
In fact, you can't judge who is stronger or worse based on appearance alone. After all, a wealthy family does not guarantee happiness, it requires people to work their own.
In 2015, after giving birth to her son, she made a decision, that is, to quit the entertainment industry.
She announced in 2016 that she had founded her own sports brand and began to venture into the business world.
In 2020, she shared her joy of welcoming her daughter on social platforms.
She is now wealthy to hundreds of millions, and the whole family of four is harmonious and happy.
She has entered the age of 44, she said that she has struggled on the field for 16 years, has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and has also started a business and worked for nearly ten years. All the while, she was busy competing with life, but now she decided to slow down as a mother and devote more time and energy to her children, husband, and family.
