All persistence and courage come from the strong figure behind, young Joe. She became a breeze in his dreary sky, a starlight on his wandering road, giving him the warmest comfort and the softest reliance. She made him understand: "The meaning of life is not whether you can be the brightest one in the starry sky, but whether you try your best." Accompanied by his lover, Shi finally defeated Liu Xiang for the first time in the later IAAF Diamond Tournament and became the king of the field. 2013165438+10.2, he completed a perfect leap beyond Liu Xiang-he entered the marriage hall hand in hand with Yang Ge, who had been in love for 9 years.
At noon in early 2004, Lu Quanbin, the coach of 1 10 meter hurdles, was staring at his beloved stone and said, "I'll watch you eat here today." With a bitter face, Shi begged the master, "Go back and rest first, and I'll eat right away." "No, I'll leave after you finish eating." Lu Quanbin's words are beyond doubt.
Shi, male, 1984, from Baoding, Hebei. He has a bad appetite since childhood, and it usually takes more than an hour to finish a meal. Fortunately, this has not affected the sports talent. In September, Shi was selected into Hebei Sports Team from Baoding Amateur Sports School and practiced 1 100 meter hurdles. In 200 1 year, Shi won the third place in the men's 1 10 meter hurdles in the 9th National Games and ranked first in the world in the youth competition that year.
By this time, Liu Xiang was already the boss of the stadium, winning almost every game. Lu Quanbin thinks that history has great potential and can surpass Liu Xiang in one breath. He carefully analyzed the situation of his disciples and came to the conclusion that the teacher had good skills and started quickly, but his physical strength could not keep up. And if you want to catch up physically, you must change his eating habits!
In this way, the problem of eating stone was officially put on the table. Coach Lu Quanbin went to the canteen to supervise his meals every day, so the scene at the beginning of the article happened. Just as the two were deadlocked, a tall girl with a ponytail came over with a rice basin: "Brother Dashi, I can't eat either. Why don't we supervise each other? Men and women are matched, and eating is not tired. " He sat down in the position opposite to the master and apprentice, bowed his head and took a bite, then looked up at the stone and said, "It's your turn." "This ....." Stone was caught off guard, but coach Lu Quanbin smiled. "This is a good idea, Dong Peng. You can't even beat a little girl, can you? "
My youngest daughter, Joe, is a female high jumper, and now she is training in track and field with the history of Hebei Sports Team. Young people will soon get familiar with it in the long run. Joe looked at the stone and looked at the food sadly every day. She thought it was interesting, so she tried to help. Since then, every time she entered the canteen, she couldn't help sitting beside the stone and fighting with him. Shi Dongpeng complained bitterly in his heart, but he was embarrassed to give up. He had to bite the bullet and swallow the rice in his mouth. Sometimes eating too fast will make Shi Dongpeng feel queasy, and he can't help retching. When he finished vomiting, Qiao Yanrui politely handed him mouthwash and said with a smile, "Let's continue to eat." At this time, Shi gnashed his teeth, neither crying nor laughing.
One night at dinner, Joe appeared with a bandage on his right leg and fresh red blood on it. "Why, did you get hurt in training?" Shi Wen. "Nothing, little problem." Qiao Yanrui casually patted her leg, but she cried out in pain. Stone quickly said, "all hurt like this. Go back to the dormitory and lie down. I'll send you a meal. " Joe said to him, "You mean, I won't let you suffer all the injuries. I just won't let you go, so what? !" He took a bite, stared at the stone and said, "It's your turn." Looking at this serious and stubborn girl, I don't know why, at that moment, Shi suddenly felt an unprecedented pity and gentleness.
"Your talent is also quite good. Will you help me like this affect your training? " Shi wenqiao. Qiao Yanrui said, "No, don't you see that I have become edible? This is called a win-win situation. "
Under Joe's strict "supervision", Shi's physical fitness has been significantly enhanced. Two young hearts are so close. They hugged each other tightly and vowed to train hard and become the best athletes in their respective teams.
At the beginning of August, 2004, Joe went to Jilin to participate in the second national "School Cup" and Pan-Pacific Middle School Games trials, and won the high jump championship with a score of1.78m, breaking the competition record. My girlfriend fulfilled her vows, and Shi, who is about to go to Athens, thought with great pride, I must also make a blockbuster. However, in the Olympic preliminaries, Shi only ran 13.68 seconds, ranking sixth in the group, and was eliminated without even entering the semi-finals. Liu Xiang, on the other hand, won the men's 1 10 hurdles in 12 seconds, becoming the first Olympic champion in track and field in China.
A great sense of loss, like a stone, weighs heavily on the stone's heart. Seeing her boyfriend pull a long face and sigh all day, Joe spends more than half an hour on the Internet every day to find a joke that she thinks is the funniest and send it to Shi by text message to relieve boredom. The warmth of his girlfriend carefully touched Shi's heart and his state gradually recovered. In the Asian Championships in 2005, she ran 13.44 seconds, second only to Liu Xiang, and won the runner-up in the 1 10 meter hurdles. Coach Lu Quanbin and Joe Yan Rui are very excited: "Now you are really only one step away from Liu Xiang." Shi Dui was greatly encouraged.
But the reality is cruel. In 2006, Shi won only the third place in the 60-meter hurdles competition in the indoor world championships. In the 2007 World Championships, he fell back to fifth place. In the 2008 "Good Luck Beijing" China Open Track and Field Competition, Shi once again fell behind Liu Xiang with a score of 13.29 seconds, ranking second. How long will this last? Shi completely lost confidence in himself. His mood dropped to freezing point. Then he made a decision that surprised everyone: retirement. He was indifferent to the coach's well-meaning advice and his teammates' kind advice. He only had one thought: I can't compete with Liu Xiang in my life, and I won't have a future if I keep practicing.
Joe took the train back to the sports team overnight after learning about it. In the dormitory, Shi Zheng was lying in bed in a daze. Qiao Yanrui rushed in without saying a word, picked up a sportswear and threw it on the ground, and then picked up a roll of bandages ... "This is the dress you sweated, this is the bandage you shed blood, and this is the medal you shed tears ..." Joe cried and threw it, pointing to himself: "This is the girl who followed you for four years! Are you really so cruel that you threw it all away at once? " Joe's words suddenly hit the softest place in the stone heart. He couldn't help covering his face with his hand and sobbing like a child. Qiao Yanrui cried again and said, "There are many stars in the sky, but the brightest one can only be one. Why do you have to force yourself to be that person? We just need to shine as brightly as possible and be the best of ourselves ... "If his girlfriend makes Shi feel that he is lost in thought. ...
Back in the game, the affair with Joe is public. Many people find that he has changed a lot. He is no longer keen on discussing the achievements of Liu Xiang or other athletes, but focuses on his own training. Whenever he runs a good grade, he no longer says "only 0.2 seconds behind Liu Xiang", but "I am 0.5 seconds faster". In 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition due to injury, and stone became the only expectation of Chinese people for men's 1 10 meter hurdles. However, he accidentally fell down at the finish line and missed the final because of the gap of 0.02 seconds. Everyone is so sad, so sad. But when Shi was interviewed, his tone was very indifferent: "I have tried my best. This is my strength." At that moment, Joe in front of the TV couldn't help crying. Her boyfriend has begun to grow up slowly and become really strong, becoming the person she hopes and loves deeply.
When the boulder in his heart was removed, surpassing Liu Xiang was no longer his goal. Yue Shi became more and more aware of the beauty of sports, more and more devoted to it, and more and more addicted to training. Once he tore his right hamstring for the second time during training, and the doctor of the sports team told him to stay in bed. But when Joe went to deliver the meal at night, he found that he was not in the hospital bed at all, and his mobile phone was thrown by the pillow. She looked for him for a long time and finally found him on the training ground. He is striding over one hurdle after another. The warm yellow sunset reflects his vigorous posture and looks like a flying bird. When he finally stopped in her cry, she found that the bandage of his wound had cracked, and the bright red blood soaked the white gauze, and then wound down all the way, which looked shocking. "Don't you know the pain?" She asked affectionately. "It is because of the pain that I came to practice. I don't remember the pain when I practiced. " Stone to giggle.
Perhaps because of his completely relaxed mentality, on May 23rd, 20 10, Shi actually created an unexpected myth and defeated Liu Xiang with a lead of 0.0 1 second. Boyfriend is finally no longer the "Millennium second child"! Joe is very happy about her boyfriend's success. What makes her more happy is that in the face of the most memorable victory in the athlete's career, Shi is not excited about revenge, but still so indifferent: "I have run this achievement many times in training, which is of no special significance to me."
At the end of August, 20 13, the opening of 12 National Games was just around the corner, but Liu Xiang retired due to injury. Everyone hopes that Shi will seize the opportunity to become the king of track and field again. However, Shi found that the old injury on his leg recurred and became more and more serious. After careful consideration, he gave up the National Games. At the same time, considering his age and physical condition, he also decided to formally withdraw from the competition. In his report to the sports team, he wrote: "Although my sports career is not perfect, I have no regrets. I made the greatest sacrifice, made the greatest effort and won all the achievements and honors I could get ... I am proud of myself. " This time, coaches Lu Quanbin and Joe didn't object.
After finishing his sports career, the first thing Shi did was to propose to Joe. In September of 20 13, he deliberately chose a starry night, pointed to the elves in the night sky and said to Joe, "After 9 years, I still can't be the brightest one, but I will always care about you and warm you with my little light ... Will you marry me?" "I do." Joe buried his head in her boyfriend's warm chest and burst into tears unconsciously. This man is not the best she has ever seen. As a "loser" on the field again and again, he almost never won the honor equal to the sweat and blood he paid, but he endured the hardships of years and remained sincere and practical. Isn't that what he wants to entrust?
Stone pairs also have mixed feelings. Fate never seemed to care for him in the game, but gave him the best love. She accompanied 16 years old, crying with him, laughing with him, and helping him tide over the difficulties; He will also take care of his daily life and give birth to children for him until the end of his life; She is with him, no matter how difficult it is, never hesitates, never flinches, never gives up; There is no suspicion and jealousy between them, only love as transparent as crystal and as soft as cloud ... what is more precious than this?
Now, Shi bid farewell to his new wife and went to Shanghai to attend instructor training non-stop, waiting for him is a brand-new life journey. ...
