preface
Now I don't know if you have found that today's young people are particularly tall, and it can be said that there are big legs everywhere. Now the nutrition of children is relatively high, and their height is relatively much higher than that of children in the past. We know that height has also become a necessary condition for many occupations now, and if you don't meet the conditions, you will be eliminated. We know that many sports competitions require height, such as basketball games and volleyball games, and height is dominant. However, not all sports must be tall, but more to see their own level.
We know that there are many athletes who are shorter in height, but it does not affect their glory for the country. Our country can change from a sports power to a sports power, and it is more important to value the ability of athletes. However, there was once a badminton player in the mainland, Pi Hongyan, who was very good at playing, but was expelled from the national team. In the end, she reluctantly became a French citizen and finally won eleven medals for the championship. So, what happened to Pi Hongyan, and why was she expelled from the national team?
The development of badminton
When it comes to sports, our country can be said to have undergone a great transformation, from a sports country to a sports power. In fact, at the beginning, the backward development of sports in our country was also related to the backward development of the country. Our own economy cannot develop, and there is no extra time to develop sports activities. However, we know that sport is very important for a country and cannot do without physical activity. Therefore, while we develop the economy, we are also constantly strengthening the development of sports. In our sports activities, badminton can definitely be regarded as a very powerful country.
Our badminton can be said to be a lot of talent in its brilliant moments, and we have won many medals in international competitions. We know that badminton is also an exotic sport, it is a game invented by the British to play ball across the net. Badminton was first used as a game of high society, but it spread and became a popular sport. Modern badminton spread to the mainland in 1910, but fewer people just started playing badminton, and our level of play was relatively backward. However, in the 1950s and 1960s, some overseas Chinese who were masters of badminton returned to China, which also led to the progress of the level of badminton in the mainland.
At that time, the mainland's badminton technology had its own unique way of playing under continuous thinking, which also allowed us to defeat the champion at that time in foreign competitions, and we became the uncrowned king at that time. With such progress, the development of badminton in the mainland has become higher and higher, especially in the 1980s and 1990s, which can be said to be the peak of badminton development. Our badminton has achieved good results in international competitions, which has also shocked the world. However, after a short period of glory, our badminton development gradually went to a trough. We have missed the championship in many races, which is really regrettable.
Powerful female generals
We have a brief understanding of the development process of badminton, it is not difficult to see that our current badminton development is in a weak position, and our results in many large competitions are very average. It can be said that it is incomparable with the badminton of that year, which also makes many badminton fans feel lost, is our badminton lonely. In fact, the development of each sport has a certain cycle, and our current badminton development is in a state of transition between the old and the new. The run-in between the new and old players also needs a process, so it is also a process for us to accumulate strength.
In fact, we still have a certain strength ratio reserve in badminton, after all, we still have a group of very strong old players. At the peak of our badminton development, we can say that we won the prize and got it softly, and the unique playing style also accumulated a lot of experience for badminton. Among the badminton players, there is a former national player, Pi Hongyan, who plays at a very high level. We know that playing badminton looks simple, but catching and playing back and forth is very technically demanding, which is also the key to winning.
If the layout is reasonable in playing and serving, it can be said that the opponent is unable to fight back, which is particularly demanding for athletes. Pi Hongyan is a strong player among the female badminton players, she plays steadily in the game, especially her own playing style makes the players scratch their heads. Pi Hongyan's performance in the provincial team is very good, so it is inevitable that she will enter the national team. Pi Hongyan found a place to play in the national team, and in the Open Tournament, she passed five levels and cut six to reach the final. She also lived up to expectations and won the championship in a fierce competition. I have to say that Pi Hongyan is really good at playing and is a very good athlete.
Loss of talent
We said that There was a certain difference between Pi Hongyan's own playing style and the way the national team played at that time. However, it is not a bad thing that players can have their own understanding, which is more conducive to athletes to play. Pi Hongyan also proved with her own practical actions that her way of playing was completely without problems after being tested in actual combat. Pi Hongyan's performance in the Open tournament is obvious to all, and she brought us back the honor. We know that every athlete who has lived an honor will be praised by the team. At that time, Pi Hongyan returned to China after winning the award, and originally thought that the team would hold a celebration banquet for her.
I didn't expect that the celebration banquet was not waiting, but what was waiting for it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day. After the game, Pi Hongyan actually let her return to the local team. At that time, It was difficult for Pi Hongyan to accept this result, but she did not want to leave her beloved arena and could only accept the arrangement. In fact, it is not so much to transfer back to the provincial team to play, but to be expelled from the national team. After returning to the local team, Pi Hongyan also knew the real reason why she was returned. We know that playing badminton also has requirements for the height of the athlete. And Pi Hongyan's height of one meter 64 is not dominant, so the national team let her go back to the place because she is short.
This reason is really difficult to accept, after all, Pi Hongyan's strength can completely make up for the lack of height. Pi Hongyan hoped to be able to play well in the provincial team after adjusting her mood, but the provincial team did not attach importance to her, and she thought of retiring. However, things took a turn for the worse during her period of underestimation. The Danish club took a fancy to her and invited her to play. In the mainland repeatedly hit a wall, in desperation she joined France and began to play for foreign teams. Abroad, her results were very good, winning eleven championships in international competitions. Seeing such results, we really regret losing a talent.
epilogue
We know that in many sports, height is indeed an advantage, and some sports must also be tall. However, badminton has requirements for height, but technology is more important in comparison. In addition, Pi Hongyan's height is not particularly short, and her achievements in the national team prove that her strength is not low. Later, she competed for foreign countries, and eleven medals were enough to show that strength could make up for her height.
However, our national team at that time was really too sloppy, and such a good talent actually said no because of his height. We said that if the national team could be humanized, maybe these glories belonged to us. We know that height and the way we play are important, but these can't be completely used as fixed standards, which will obliterate some talents, which is undoubtedly a loss for us.
