World champions Zhong Angel and Zhang Dongshuang shared the fighting spirit with college students: they returned home twice or three times during the Spring Festival in more than 20 years

Oriental Network reporter Fu Wenjing reported on November 12: Cycling Olympic champion demonstration stretching action, sailing world champion teaches you to change the porter sail... On November 11, the campus of Shanghai Maritime University welcomed two Shanghai sports stars, Zhong Angel and Zhang Dongshuang. Among them, Zhang Dongshuang, who has won the laser Reddial class championship of the World Cup for four consecutive years, is also an alumnus of Shanghai Maritime University in 2012, and the exchange of the school is a "home trip".

Angel Zhong, who won two gold medals in the women's team racing event in track cycling at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals for the Chinese national team in this event. Referring to winning the first gold medal in the Chinese cycling Olympic Games, Zhong Angel said: "Compared with European and American countries, China's cycling project is relatively weak. When you really step on the field and win gold for the country, you have more of a sense of responsibility in your heart. The most touching thing about the competition is not necessarily to win gold, but to embody the Olympic spirit, which is exactly what the Chinese people talk about self-improvement. ”

"Sports training is very boring, everyone sees more of the glorious moments of athletes on the podium, but for this moment athletes have paid a lot." Continuous learning to improve ability, tenacious struggle, and winning glory for the country is the best interpretation of the spirit of sportsmanship. "In the face of the school's high-level athletes and students, Zhong Angel affirmed that they played the sports expertise of the athletes in the school, hoping that the university athletes could maintain their love for sports and continue to contribute to the sports cause of the school and the country."

As an alumnus of Haida University, Zhang Dongshuang was deeply touched by his return to campus. "It was very happy to see the enthusiastic students, and the school sailing association was very good. I felt the atmosphere of the school sailing competition, very pleased, and supported the school to continue to promote. Zhang Dongshuang supported sailing to enter the campus of Shanghai Maritime University and became a special course of the school, hoping that more students would participate in sailing and enjoy the joy brought by sailing.

Zhang Dongshuang said in the exchange: "Gold medals have never been the only purpose, and hard work is the real background of sports. Sportsmanship is the desire to succeed at any level of the field and to challenge yourself to be a better version of yourself. Without wind and waves, you can't show the true color of the sail; without twists and turns, you can't taste the joy of life. She encouraged the students to integrate the spirit of hard work in sports competition into their daily learning and life, and strive to become champions in their own life arena.

In the interactive session, the students of the sports team combined their "championship dreams" and asked a variety of questions, "What are your hobbies?" "Which race impressed you the most?" "Ever thought about giving up?" ...... All kinds of questions came to the fore, and the students seemed to have endless curiosity, while Zhong Angel and Zhang Dongshuang patiently answered and gave suggestions.

"We all train outside the home all year round, and we really don't have much time at home with our families." "In my more than 20 years of training time, I have only spent the Spring Festival at home two or three times." When the students in the audience asked how long they had not returned home from the longest training, Zhong Angel and Zhang Dongshuang said. Learning about the arrangements for the two champions to go home to visit their relatives, the students in the audience were deeply shocked by their dedication and sacrifice for sports competitions.

In their spare time, world champions have their own way of having fun. Angel Zhong recommended the TV series "The Age of Awakening" to the students, looking forward to everyone's feelings of patriotism, strengthening their will, and winning glory for the country in the subsequent competitions and training. Zhang Dongshuang suggested that students read the book "Zero Second Thinking", hoping that students would say goodbye to blindness and procrastination and rejuvenate the power of youth.

Physical training cannot be "on paper". After the exchange, the teachers and students of the football team and Angel Zhong went to the gymnasium, and the teachers and students of the Sailing Club and Zhang Dongshuang gathered at the wisdom lake of the school to carry out training guidance and practical activities.

In the gymnasium, the members of the football team are gathered in a circle, and the angels of the bell demonstrate the pulling and relaxing action in the center. Because cycling and football both focus on leg strength training, for this aspect, Angel Zhong demonstrated and guided the leg muscle stretching action to the students and suggested that everyone use it in daily training. Zhang Dongshuang came to the Haida Wisdom Lake Sailing Base to communicate with the students on the difficulties encountered in daily training, and she patiently guided the students of the Sailing Association about the port changing skills and sailing skills of the RS-TERA type sailing ship, etc., and encouraged the students to seize the opportunity and cherish the sailing platform built by the school for the students.

Guo Haowen, a member of the football team, said: "Sister Zhong Angel taught us stretching movements in the gymnasium, and I felt that I learned a lot of knowledge. I hope that we can have the same tenacious and enterprising spirit as the two champions sisters. ”

Jing Hulin, a member of the Sailing Club, said: "As a student who has just come into contact with sailing, getting the guidance of the sailing world champion seems to suddenly open a door on the road of sailing and sublimate in an instant. World champions are different, bringing us not only world-class technology, but also courage. ”
