Ma Jiajun, a middle-distance running team that has written a strong mark in the history of Chinese athletics and even Chinese sports. This group of female middle-distance runners trained and trained by the famous coach Ma Junren once blew a "yellow whirlwind" in the international athletics competition in the 1990s, and they repeatedly broke world records and won 66 gold medals in track and field events for China!
At that time, this team included Wang Junxia, Qu Yunxia, Liu Dong, Zhang Lirong, Zhang Linli, Ma Ningning, Wang Xiaoxia, etc., including dozens of members, and Wang Junxia and Qu Yunxia were undoubtedly the leaders in this team, and they jointly created the situation of "double Xia flying together" in Chinese athletics. Qu Yunxia was the first athlete in China to win a medal in the Olympic games in the long-distance running event. Wang Junxia's achievements are even more brilliant, she is the first athlete in China to win the Olympic long-distance running gold medal, and also became the only Middle and Long-distance runner in China to win the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup "Golden Slam".
At 21:08 Beijing time on January 24, Wang Junxia, a former core member of Ma Jiajun and Olympic champion, posted a new dynamic on her personal social media, which posted a video of her and qu Yunxia, a former Majia army friend, to give everyone a New Year's greeting, and Wang Junxia also wrote to the video: "Chinese New Year's Eve, and qu Yunxia, my teammate of the year, to give everyone a New Year's greeting!" This year's Spring Festival is a little different, the medical workers fighting in the front line are fighting against the virus, we must also pay attention to personal hygiene, try to go out as little as possible, and live a healthy and happy year! ”
In fact, as early as January 23rd, Wang Junxia posted photos of her group trip with Ma Jiajun's former teammate Qu Yunxia through social platforms! The two old teammates in the photos and videos are reunited after a long absence, full of smiles. Regrettably, the years are merciless, and Wang Junxia, 47, and Qu Yunxia, 48, look blessed, with a rounded face and an old age. The leading figure of Ma Jiajun at that time, the former "Shuangxia" has become a big mother.
1993 was a very turning point for Chinese athletics, a year in which Ma Jiajun, coached by Ma Junren, suddenly rose and shocked the world. Ma Jiajun's rise began in 1993 at the 4th World Championships in Athletics in Stuttgart, Germany, where the little-known Ma Jiajun won 3 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal, and finished in the top 3 in the women's 3000 meters. Among them, the winner of the 10,000 meters was Wang Junxia, while the winner of the 3000 meters was Qu Yunxia, and the winner of the 1500 meters was Liu Dong.
In September 1993, at the 7th National Games in Beijing, Wang Junxia rewrote the world record three times in six days, shortening the women's 10,000 meters world record that had been silent for many years by 41.96 seconds. The name of China's "Oriental Sacred Deer" resounded through the clouds. In the women's 5,000m final of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Wang Junxia won the gold medal with a time of 14:59.88, becoming China's first Olympic long-distance running gold medalist, and in the women's 10,000 meters final that followed, Wang Junxia won another silver medal with a time of 31 minutes 02.58 seconds.
Qu Yunxia's results came earlier, and at the age of 20, she won her first Olympic middle-distance running medal for China. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, Qu Yunxia participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, and won the bronze medal in the women's 1500 meters with a time of 3 minutes 57.08 seconds, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win a medal in the olympic long-distance running event. At the 1993 National Games, she broke the women's 1500m world record with a time of 3:50.46. The women's 1500m world record she set was not broken until 22 years later by Ethiopia's Di Baba.
After retiring, the experiences of the two are also very different, the "double Xia" who was invincible on the field in the past, Wang Junxia experienced three marriages, and Qu Yunxia became a university teacher. In March 1998, Qu Yunxia entered the Department of Economics and Management of Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, and after graduation, she stayed on to teach and became a physical education teacher at Dongbei University of Finance and Economics. Nowadays, walking on campus, few people will recognize this world athletics figure of that year. However, as a world champion, Qu Yunxia's classes can still attract many students, and now her weekly class preparation time is almost full every day.
After retiring, Wang Junxia served as the spokesperson for a brand of health running, and also established her own health running club in Shenyang. However, Wang Junxia's emotional road has gone extremely bumpy, and she has experienced three marriages. In 1997, Wang Junxia and football player Zhan Yu registered their marriage, held a wedding in 2001, and divorced in 2006; in October 2008, Wang Junxia married Huang Tiantian, a Chinese-American and music producer in the United States, and the two divorced in January 2015.
Wang Junxia, who has gone through hardships, has finally found her true love, and her third husband is the gentle and elegant Chinese-American Li Huiyang. In September 2015, Wang Junxia and her third-married husband Li Huiyang returned to China to participate in the public appearance of the show. Wang Junxia had a son and a daughter in the first two marriages, and her current husband also had a child, and at present, all three children live with their husband and wife, which is also a happy and happy family!
