Previously, Zhu Xueying, who won the women's trampoline championship at the Tokyo Olympic Games, chose to donate the Olympic gold medal to the museum, which attracted praise from many media and netizens. At the same time, she also became the first person to "donate money" to the Tokyo Olympics. In an interview, Zhu Xueying said: "The medal is a form, a collection, and more importantly, the dedication of the athletes behind the medal, and the honor to win for the motherland." And today, there is another Olympic champion who donated his gold medal, and she is the former Chinese women's volleyball captain - Wei Qiuyue.
Wei Qiuyue is the "benchmark" figure of the Chinese women's volleyball team, in 2008, at the age of 20, she participated in the Olympic Games for the first time as a substitute, and then she participated in two consecutive Olympic Games in London and Rio, and won the championship in Rio. Wei Qiuyue has served as the captain of the women's volleyball team for 4 cycles before and after, so she has a high prestige in the team. Coupled with her outstanding appearance and temperament, she is also known as the "women's volleyball goddess" by fans. In fact, in the minds of many fans, Wei Qiuyue is more beautiful than another women's volleyball captain, Hui Ruoqi.
Wei Qiuyue officially announced her retirement after the Rio Olympics, but she did not stay away from the volleyball career, but engaged in volleyball-related work at the university, serving as the vice dean of the Tianjin Sports Vocational College and occasionally explaining volleyball matches. Now, she has even become deputy secretary of the Communist Youth League. It can be seen that whether in the sports arena or the political arena, Wei Qiuyue is mixed up. At the same time, in terms of family, she is also happy and happy, her husband is also a former volleyball player, Sven is handsome, and the two have a cute big fat son.
After retiring, Wei Qiuyue, who rarely appeared in the public eye, appeared at the China Sports Museum today and donated his Olympic gold medal. The former Captain of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team said: "I am a member of the Chinese women's volleyball team, an athlete trained by the country, and I donated my most precious gold medal to the China Sports Museum, hoping that the spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Olympic spirit can inspire more people." ”
Whether it is Zhu Xueying or Wei Qiuyue, they all hope to use this gold medal to inspire more people, which is enough to see that whether they are active athletes or have retired, they are concerned about the cause of Chinese sports in their hearts, hoping that Chinese sports can give birth to more talents and win glory for the country.
As we all know, the Olympic gold medal is the honor that all athletes dream of, and some athletes, facing bankruptcy after retirement, are unwilling to take their gold medals, which shows how high the status of gold medals in their hearts is. However, Zhu Xueying and Wei Qiuyue were able to donate this gold medal that had condensed all their sweat and tears over the years, and it had to be said that this was definitely a noble act. And both of them are also models of human beauty and kindness!
