There are also some excellent athletes abroad who choose to retire because of injury, and Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice is one of them. Stephanie is an Australian professional swimmer. Because of her fair skin and proud figure, she is called "the first beauty in the world". She likes swimming since she was a child. Later, her parents sent her to a professional school for swimming skills training. At the age of nine, Stephanie held the first swimming competition in her life.
When she was 18 years old, she beat Olympic champions Chen Han and Guo kuo in the 200m medley and won the gold medal. She broke the world record in the warm-up match before the 2008 Olympic Games and won three Olympic gold medals at the Beijing Olympic Games. This is her first time to participate in the Olympic Games. At the age of 20, Stephanie became the world champion. Many people remember the girl who flew in the swimming pool. Even the flying fish Phelps praised her as fast and beautiful as a mermaid. Many fans call her the female version of Phelps.
It's natural to suddenly win three Olympic champions and be scared under fame. Stephanie was also confused about her success for a while. In an interview, she said that many people asked her the secret of success and her growing process, but she was just lucky and didn't know how to tell her growing process.
Stephanie attributed her success to luck, but without years of hard training, how could she succeed casually? The Beijing Olympic Games made Stephanie famous in World War I, and at the same time she suffered great pain. She left an irreparable shoulder injury, which directly affected her later career. Because of her shoulder injury, she missed many games and it was difficult for her to reach her brilliant moment.
In 20 14, Stephanie chose to retire, and the direct cause of retirement was the lingering pain. After retiring, Stephanie gradually faded out of public view, and now her marital status is a mystery. Although many people want to know whether the mermaid has found her little prince, there is no accurate source.
