This year's Tokyo Olympic Games can be described as an eventful autumn. Because the COVID-19 epidemic was delayed for one year, and because of the poor official preparation, it was criticized. For example, Kitano Takeshi, a famous Japanese director, was unable to watch the opening ceremony, and the Japanese government failed to prevent and control the epidemic (COVID-19 was infected in the Japanese Olympic Village), but at the Olympic Games, athletes from many countries still showed amazing professional sports literacy, which made people admire.
In this Olympic Games, there are not only touching moments when star athletes win the championship, but also many special athletes stand out. They don't spend all their energy on their sports career like those professional athletes in their respective countries. Besides being athletes, they also have their own jobs. What is even more incredible is that these non-professional athletes actually won the championship in the Olympic Games. After returning home, they still have to focus on their own work, and their respective sports are only in their spare time, relying on personal perseverance and self-discipline.
Who won the men's 10 meter air pistol gold medal? Foroughi is such a special Olympic athlete. Behind the part-time athlete, his real occupation is a night-shift male nurse in Iran. He is 4 1 year old this year.
In terms of age, Foroughi is the oldest person in this competition, and according to the training time of 10 meter air pistol, Foroughi is a proper novice. It is such a player who defeated many international masters and won the gold medal of men's 10 meter air pistol.
Before the start of this Olympic Games, no one expected that Froggi would win the championship. Although there is a message about him in the official information system of the Olympic Games, the content is embarrassing: Foroughi, who is 4 1 3 16 days old, will become the oldest contestant in the men's 10 meter air pistol competition.
Although he is not young, Foroughi is a newcomer in shooting. His job is a night nurse, and contact with the shooting is completely accidental. Four years ago, he first saw the pistol in a shooting range under the hospital where he worked. Foroughi, then 38, was curious and wanted to play with it. So, after some explanation, he played the 10 ring for the first time in his life and played 85 rings.
This time, by chance, he ignited his passion for shooting and began to continue his work as a night nurse while receiving training. Foroughi once said, as a night nurse, often working at night will distract attention, and shooting can just train a person's concentration. From June 2065438 to June 2007, Foroughi officially received professional training in air pistol. Since then, his extraordinary talents have been unobstructed, and he has begun to emerge in international competitions!
In the 20 19 Asian Championships, Froggi won the bronze medal in the men's 10 meter air pistol. In 20021year, Foroughi won the World Cup 10 meter air pistol in New Delhi and Osijek, Croatia. It can be seen that although he started late, Foroughi's marksmanship improved rapidly.
In this regard, Foroughi has its own set of training methods. When he is a nurse, he often needs to work at night. Generally speaking, working at night tends to distract people and make them inaccurate, but he can't stand it. This concentration is very effective for his shooting training.
More than a year ago, after qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics, Foroughi set the avatar of his social media account as an Olympic gold medal photo to motivate and remind himself.
Back to July 24th, Tokyo Sunglow Shooting Final, 10 meter air pistol gold medal competition is entering a tense competition stage. In the 10 meter air pistol event, South Korean player Zhongwu Qin, who scored three gold medals, was the most favored by the outside world, and Vietnamese Olympic champions Huang Chunrong and Chinese Olympic Champion Pang Wei were also eyeing him, but Froggi's earlier competition results made it impossible for the outside world to treat him lightly.
The course of the game proved his strength. Although he ranked fifth in the qualifying round with 580 rings, he shined in the final. "I was so nervous in the qualifying round." He said after the game, "I was relaxed in the final and didn't have a bad single shot."
In the final, Foroughi established a leading position early with its unusually stable performance. After two knockout rounds, his 14 shots, 1 1 times reached more than 10 rings, and the worst score was 9.8 rings twice, which was definitely a terrible performance for 10 meter air pistol.
In the end, Gurky won the championship with 244.8 rings, leading by nearly 7 rings, and broke the Olympic record.
After the victory was confirmed, Froggi knelt down with tears in his eyes and the scene was moving. When he got on the podium, he even saluted the Iranian flag with love and respect. Love for the motherland, obsession with dreams and awe of sportsmanship permeate the screen and infect every audience. Then, #4 1 year-old Iranian shooting veteran knelt down with tears and rushed to Weibo for hot search!
Besides Foroughi himself, this gold medal is also of great significance to his country. This is not only the first gold medal of 10 meter air pistol in Iranian Olympic history, but also the first shooting gold medal Iran won in the Olympic Games.
Foroughi is obviously more difficult than professional athletes on the road to Olympic champion.
According to Foroughi, he worked as a nurse for 15 years. "I am still a nurse, working in a hospital, especially during the COVID-19 epidemic." He said that he was infected with COVID-19 last year. After his recovery, he devoted himself to the preparations for the Olympic Games and took care of his work and training. But fate tested him again. Because of his work, Frege infected COVID-19 again. This training was interrupted for a whole month. A month later, he recovered and prepared for the Olympic Games again.
The training rhythm is disrupted, which has a great influence on athletes. However, the background of the night nurse honed Foroughi's patience and perseverance, which made him have a good attitude. Foroughi believes that this is not only a test of fate, but also his chance to survive. So he didn't show any psychological pressure when he ranked fifth in qualifying with 580 laps.
Finally, his excellent psychological quality sent him to the podium of the Olympic champion! Although Froggi was awarded a "health guard" and a "national hero" by the state after winning the championship, he thought he was just an ordinary night nurse. After the game, he packed his bags in a hurry. When the media asked him why he was in such a hurry, he calmly replied, "I want to go back to the night shift."
"As a nurse, I want to tell everyone that as long as we follow the rules, no one will infect COVID-19. The whole world will be healthy. As a nurse who can shoot, I am very happy to see that this Olympic Games has not been cancelled because of the COVID-19 epidemic. "
Looking back on the past two years, Foroughi expressed satisfaction with his two jobs: "As a nurse, I have been fighting the epidemic since last year, and I have had a difficult time. As a shooter, I have been working hard for this day for the past two years. "
Today's Olympic Games is no longer an early pure sports event. What countries really compete for is a set of modern "procedures" behind it-whether there is a set of comprehensive mechanisms such as talent selection system, club network, incentive factors, scientific and technological research and development strength and market-oriented platform to continuously "produce" excellent players.
Generally speaking, the modern Olympic Games is a comprehensive wrestling of politics, economy, culture and science and technology between countries.
The perfect ecology of a big sports country allows athletes to enjoy the world's top scientific training, training and competition without worries. For some small countries, they don't have enough ability and strength to train a team of athletes with professional sports ability. Many times, they can only choose some athletes who have undergone simple training and have talents beyond ordinary people to participate in the Olympic Games.
Iran is such a country.
For a long time in the past, although Iran was not in a state of war, it was sanctioned by Americans and its economy was sluggish. It is also necessary to support Syria and other countries to fight against the United States and the rebels. Such a weak and stable country will face greater difficulties even if it makes some achievements in international events like the Olympic Games.
This shows that the gold content of Foroughi's gold medal is self-evident.
In Foroughi, we can see a more pure yearning for sports, that is, although he is in a less superior training environment, he can still achieve amazing results with his innate talent and acquired efforts. Foroughi's motto in life is, "I always try to have a better technical performance than the day before, because I believe that to participate in any competition, you must improve and be more fully prepared than the previous competition."
This year's Tokyo Olympic Games, in addition to Foroughi's fame in World War I, there are many touching moments: Chusovitina, a gymnast who broke the limit of gymnastics life at the age of 46 and stood at the Olympic Games for the seventh time; * * * Qatari Bahim and Italian Tamberi who won the gold medal in the men's high jump at the Olympic Games; Send video to China table tennis player Liu, who retired due to injury, send video to former Japanese table tennis player ... Although there are still some unfairness on the field, these tiny human brilliance make us better understand the significance of human destiny under the epidemic and the significance of hosting the Olympic Games.
Because every desperate challenge, every breakthrough beyond the past, is under the banner of the Olympic rings, the infinite strength of mankind.
