Flexible mind, courage to innovate and good at thinking-these are the remarkable personality characteristics of Wenzhou people, and so is Zheng Siwei, a Wenzhou person. Badminton talent was revealed very early. Wang Yueping, the coach of Zhejiang team who took him from childhood, commented that he "has a solid playing spirit, and doubles not only plays well in his own position, but also creates good opportunities for his companions".
This feature helped Zheng Siwei come to the national team. During the period from 20 13 to 20 15, I partnered with different partners in the Asian Youth Championship and the World Youth Championship and won a total of * * * men's doubles and mixed doubles with ten gold, two silver and one bronze. Mixed doubles has always been the dominant event of China badminton team, but in Rio period, mixed doubles obviously declined, so after the Rio Olympic Games, Zheng Siwei, as the key training object of mixed doubles, began to focus on this item.
The effect is remarkable: together with their young partner Chen, they won several open championships, especially the high-level French Super Tournament and the year-end finals, which made people once again see the new energy of mixed doubles.
20 17 Zheng Siwei Chen continues to kill Sifang. Although they lost to the Olympic champions Amad/Nasir in the most important World Championships, they regretted winning the silver medal, but the other side was the Olympic champion after all, and they lost without grievance. During this period, they topped the mixed doubles world, but Zhang Jun pointed out the problem: "The world ranking should not be taken too seriously. Now that Chen has both, their mixed doubles strength has declined. " And Zhang Jun's words also set the stage for their division.
Let Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong join hands to participate in the Macau Open, which was originally just an attempt by the coaching staff. Unexpectedly, it opened the way for IELTS to dominate the mixed doubles. 20 18, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong won mixed doubles championships in Malaysia, Asian Games, Japan and China, especially in the World Championships. Last year, just one step away from Chen, this time, Zheng Siwei especially wanted to prove himself.
"I didn't grasp many competition opportunities before, especially the competition opportunities. I have been working hard for a year, and everyone can see my progress. I hope I can prove it to you in this world championship. Look, I can. " In this way, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong finally stood on the podium of the mixed doubles world champion.
For a long time, Zheng Siwei was introverted after winning the competition. He often cleans up after being so happy, but this time it's different. With the landing of the last ball, Zheng Siwei was stunned for a long time. He didn't even believe that the world champion was won in this way: "Although I won the team championship with my teammates before, this is my first single-event world champion, especially in our home in Nanjing. This not only proves that my efforts have paid off, but also proves that,
Standing at the top, Zheng Siwei walked all the way. 20 19 successfully defended its title in Basel and Huang Yaqiong, and the mixed doubles became the only winner of the national feather in this World Championships. This World Championship is also a game that Zheng Siwei often remembers during his preparations for the Olympic Games: "I will be amazed when I see the video now. Wow, I was in such good shape and capable. That is really my peak. "
However, it is not always smooth sailing on the sports field. After defending the World Championships, they once fell into a trough, but Zheng Siwei, who likes to think, can see the positive side of failure: "After experiencing failure, we can adjust our mentality to make ourselves grow faster, just like defeating the boss, bringing new excitement and challenges."
The excitement and challenges are far from over. In 2020, Guo Yu missed the championship in the last international competition, the All England Open, and was injured in closed training after returning to China. Zheng Siwei went through a very difficult stage. Normal training cannot be carried out because of injuries to hands and feet. He can only practice strength in the gym every day. Even if he is optimistic, Zheng Siwei has to complain: "It's too difficult."
Fortunately, Zheng Siwei felt that he had an impulse not to be afraid of anything, so he stubbornly struggled with injuries and fully recovered before the end of 2020.
In March this year, Guoyu held a sponsor signing ceremony in Shanghai. Zheng Siwei made his first appearance as the captain of the China badminton team and delivered a speech. He also became the new captain of Guoyu after Cai Yun, Zhang Nan and Chen Long.
These three former captains have all won Olympic champions, so Zheng Cansiwei continued this rule? Facing his first Olympic trip, Zheng Siwei said: "Everyone is sprinting and everyone will be nervous. What I have to do is to put my mind as good as possible. For the first time, I hope that when I look back a few years later, I will see that I have completed the competition at the highest peak and have no regrets for myself. "
When he really set foot on the Olympic Games, Zheng Siwei felt that there was no audience and the Olympic atmosphere was not very strong, but the tension and pressure were still with him. He also knows that everyone is optimistic about the mixed doubles team. They will win the gold medal. He hoped to turn pressure into motivation, so Zheng Siwei played his due role in Musashino Gymnasium.
However, in the final with teammate Wang/Huang Dongping, Zheng Siwei played a mediocre role. After his teammate won the first game, Huang Yaqiong struggled to tie the score, but there were still many mistakes in the third game, which failed to inspire his state and fighting spirit. Finally, he lost by two points and missed the championship.
The victory belongs to the China team, but not to Zheng Siwei.
