On December 31, Wei Qiuyue, the Olympic champion and former captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team, announced an important decision to donate the gold medal of the Rio Olympic Games to the "China Sports Museum". Through this move, Wei Qiuyue hopes to inspire more people in the Olympic spirit and strive to be strong in their respective posts.
Wei Qiuyue was the elder of the Three Dynasties and was the leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team. After missing the trophy at the London Olympics, Wei Qiuyue once faded out of the national team due to injury. Faced with a knee injury with serious waterlogging, Wei Qiuyue resolutely decided to undergo minimally invasive cleaning surgery on both knees, began a nearly two-year struggle with injuries, and finally impressed Lang Ping with rich experience in the competition and solid technical skills, catching up with the Rio Olympic Games.
In Rio, the Chinese women's volleyball team experienced a low opening and high walk, and finally staged a miracle of winning the championship, and Wei Qiuyue, Zhu Ting, Hui Ruoqi, Zhang Changning, Xu Yunli and other chinese players became Olympic champions. Wei Qiuyue used tenacious struggle and full perseverance to finally realize the dream of olympic champion, which was extremely inspiring and touched countless fans.
After completing the ultimate dream, Wei Qiuyue chose to retire and marry Yuan Lingxi, the assistant coach of the women's volleyball team. Later, Wei Qiuyue became a mother, gave birth to a son, and formed a family of three. For Wei Qiuyue, she only has one Olympic gold medal, and the Rio Olympic gold medal is unique.
Wei Qiuyue deliberately let her son wear this gold medal, and she was put on the shoulder by her husband Yuan Lingxi and took a family portrait of a family of three, and the whole family laughed and blossomed. Wei Qiuyue and his wife are volleyball players, and his son is expected to be a sports athlete in the future, whether it is playing volleyball or basketball, it is worth looking forward to.
After leaving a memorial, Wei Qiuyue decided to donate the Olympic gold medal, she explained why:
As a former member of the Chinese women's volleyball team, I thank the country and the Chinese women's volleyball team for cultivating me for many years, today is the day when the "China Sports Museum" is launched, and we athletes, coaches and all sports people are also needed to contribute our sports stories, so I decided to donate my Olympic gold medal to let the Olympic spirit inspire more people to work hard in their respective posts and make our motherland stronger.
Although she is no longer an athlete, Wei Qiuyue is still a practitioner of the spirit of the women's volleyball team, and she has shown the big pattern through such a move, worthy of being a meritorious and famous player who has been the leader of the women's volleyball team!
