We will never forget the exciting moment when the five-star red flag accompanied the national anthem Ran Ran rose in the international sports arena.
According to online statistics, China won 20 1 gold medals from the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984 to the 30th London Olympic Games in 20 12.
These honors are inseparable from our athletes' hard work, hard training and tenacious struggle day after day.
Among these outstanding athletes who won glory for our country, I have to mention Deng.
Born in an ordinary family, he was born with the expectation of becoming a gymnast.
1992 On April 2 1 day, the Deng family welcomed the birth of their second child. This child is a beautiful female doll with smart eyes, that is, gymnast Deng Linlin, who will win two consecutive championships in the future.
This can make Deng's wife happy, because she had a son before and a daughter this time. It happened that her father Deng Jiegu liked gymnastics very much since he was a child, but his dream of gymnastics never came true, so he pinned his hopes on his children, hoping that they would receive gymnastics training from an early age and have a greater chance to become excellent gymnasts, win gold medals for the country and win glory for the Chinese nation.
Success depends not on talent or luck, but on hard work.
When he was young, Deng accompanied his brother to the sports school for training. When young Deng Linlin saw his brother doing graceful movements on the training equipment, she was stunned for a moment. He was deeply attracted by his brother's steady pace and smooth movements.
Therefore, she developed a strong interest in gymnastics.
Maybe it's fate. My brother's coach also thinks that Deng's physical fitness has passed the test. After many struggles, the father also supported his daughter to enter the sports school for training.
1998, Deng, who was only 6 years old, entered the training team of the sports school. At that time, many people would not believe that one day such a naive girl would burst into great energy and stand on the podium that attracted much attention ten years later, even if she was underage.
After entering the sports school, Deng was only six years old, but she worked very hard, which made the coach of the sports school sit up and take notice.
She is also 6 years old, and she is still childish. While other girls were listening to fairy tales with dolls in their arms all day, Deng Linlin, 6, started all kinds of physical training, saying one, two and one.
When other girls cried because they couldn't eat a piece of candy, 6-year-old Deng Linlin was fearless in the face of repeated training pains. When other girls are eating ice cream and drinking milk tea, 6-year-old Deng Linlin can only eat training meals ... but these will not make her give up, but become her motivation to move on.
My brother Deng has always been a role model. Sometimes she competed with her brother, from the initial fiasco to the later victory of ten to nine, which fully proved Deng's gymnastics talent. As we all know, talent alone is not enough. In this girl, there has always been an impulse, that kind of unyielding stubbornness, which pushes her to insist on gymnastics training and become a shining star on the field.
After six years of hard training, Deng became the captain of the balance beam training team at the age of twelve, which was not accidental, but inevitable.
Although she is very talented, she still works hard. She often consolidates her movements in the training room alone after the bell rings in the training class.
On several occasions, father Deng Jiegu couldn't wait for his daughter outside the door. He looked inside and saw his daughter jumping on the balance beam and doing flowing movements on the balance beam. Her expression was serious and earnest, which made her father have mixed feelings.
Deng also put a lot of pressure on himself. She secretly swore that if others practiced it again, she would practice it five times, and if others practiced it five times, she would practice it ten times.
Repeated high-intensity training has also made this teenage girl black and blue, bruises can be seen everywhere, and fractures have become commonplace.
However, these did not make the girl give up her dream, but made her a step closer to her dream.
This is also one of the reasons why she can be better than others at a young age and become a captain early.
June 5, 438+February 2003 was an important turning point in Deng's life. Because of Deng's excellent comprehensive quality and consistent good performance, she was finally selected for the national training team.
Her coaches are famous coaches Xiong Jingbin and Zhang Xia. Since then, Deng has embarked on a new journey.
Fight the most prepared "battle" and win the brightest gold medal.
Many things happen. After day after day, year after year of hard work, in 2008, 16-year-old Deng was qualified to participate in international competitions.
Deng took part in the gymnastics World Cup in Qatar. It is undoubtedly exciting and nervous for her to participate in such a professional activity for the first time. Deng, who participated in the international competition for the first time, adjusted his mentality again and again and slowly overcame his fear. When she stands on the balance beam, it seems that she is isolated from the world, and only her dreams are intertwined. In the eyes of the audience, she danced on the balance beam like a little princess in a music box.
Finally, in Qatar Gymnastics World Cup, she really lived up to expectations and won three medals: 1 gold 1 silver 1 bronze * * *. In the next Russian competition, he won two gold medals in balance beam and floor exercise.
Also in 2008, at the Beijing Olympic Games, the captain of the China Gymnastics Team made a mistake. At that time, Deng had high hopes. Not only the whole team wants her to win the championship, but even the whole Chinese nation wants to see her win glory for the motherland.
At this moment of great concern, everyone held their breath and was extremely nervous. Deng calmly, coherently and brilliantly completed every movement, and won applause from the audience. In the end, she won the first Olympic gymnastics team champion for China and the first Olympic gold medal in her life. That year, she was only sixteen years old, but she became the shortest Olympic champion in China!
It is estimated that no one would have thought that the youngest, lightest and shortest girl of the national team would win the gold medal at the Beijing Olympic Games, and no one would have thought that four years later, on August 7, 20 12, 20-year-old Deng would win the gold medal again in the women's gymnastics competition at the London Olympic Games, becoming the only athlete in China's women's gymnastics history who won the gold medal twice in a row.
After winning two consecutive Olympic titles, she chose to retire.
More than ten years of hard training not only brought honor to Deng, but also brought pain to the whole body. Therefore, on 20 13, Deng retired from the national team at the best age.
She made a special plan for herself. She didn't choose to go to Beijing Institute of Physical Education to realize her dream like many predecessors, but decided to go to Peking University to study international relations because she wanted to bring the sports cause of her motherland to the world.
Even if everything is difficult to adapt after entering school, it is not a problem to deal with the course with indomitable spirit and hard work.
Slowly, Deng grew up a lot and learned to dress himself. She is poetic and full of books, and now she is a charming girl.
After graduating from Peking University, Deng still didn't slow down the pace of pursuing his dreams. She worked as a coach and team leader in the Gymnastics Center of the Provincial Sports Bureau. Now she plans to go abroad for further study and make further efforts for her dream.
Deng paid a lot of sweat and endured a lot of pain on the road of gymnastics. She often said, "Don't be luckier than others, be persistent than others." The former gymnastics princess's excellent qualities of perseverance and courage to fight are worth learning from each of us. Let's work together for our dreams!
