At the end of the two short track speed skating days of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team had gold medals in the mixed team relay and the men's 1000 meters, and the ups and downs of the speed skating arena touched the hearts of countless spectators.
Such as "my eyes are rulers" and other Wang Meng's golden sentence explanations are also frequently searched. In her commentary, she often shared ice rink gossip with the audience:
"The Italian athlete slipped and didn't slip, didn't slip and slipped again, gave birth to a child and came back, heck, the results are still faster than the original, take the championship of the excessive stand, you know?"
The Hungarian team Liu Shaolin Liu Shaoang brothers trained in Changchun when they were young, and Liu Shaolin also had a nickname called Stinky.
As early as 2016, in Jiangsu Satellite TV's variety show "Extraordinary Partner", Wang Meng also shared a speed skating insider with the audience: South Korean popular actor Song Joong-ki was once a short-track speed skater.
From elementary school to junior high school, he was a short track speed skater in Daejeon, South Korea, and represented his hometown in 3 national competitions, when his dream was to enter the national team and compete for gold and silver on behalf of the country.
Unfortunately, due to a knee injury, he was forced to terminate his sports career, and then concentrated on the college entrance examination, and was admitted to sungkyunkwan University, a famous university in South Korea, with a high score of 380 points (out of 400), and was later discovered to enter the show business circle.
Although he was unable to continue to realize his dream on the field, as an actor, he starred in the 2009 MBC TV series "Triple", playing a short track speed skater, and realizing an ice rink dream in the work.
Like Song Joong-ki, Song Huiqiao in the former Double Song CP is also an ice sports player - figure skater. In the idol drama "Full House" starring Song Huiqiao and Rain, Song Huiqiao also easily demonstrated the skills of figure skaters on the ice rink, and the sliding and spinning were very smooth.
In fact, not only in South Korea, but also in the Chinese showbiz industry, there are many well-known actors who have been professional athletes.
Zhang Kaili, an actor who was well known to the Chinese people for playing "Longing", was once a speed skater, and she was also the captain of Ye Qiaobo.
Later, Zhang Kaili turned to an actor, and Ye Qiaobo still insisted on the ice rink, winning the gold medal in the women's 500-meter short track speed skating at the 1992 Winter Olympics, achieving China's breakthrough in the winter Olympic medals.
In the variety show "The Covenant of Winter Dreams" on Beijing Satellite TV, former Olympic champion Zhou Yang also slid in the same frame with his sisters Ye Qiaobo and Zhang Kaili, bringing the audience a rare scene called "Ye Qinghui".
In addition to ice sports, there are many well-known actors who have been athletes in popular sports at the Summer Olympics.
At last year's Tokyo Olympics, ST women's table tennis champion Chen Meng attracted much attention. But did you know that her former teammate is Ren Jialun, a popular actor in the current costume drama.
When they were young, they participated in training together in Qingdao, and later Ren Jialun also left the table due to injury and became a TV drama actor.
On the opening day of the Winter Olympics, Ren Jialun also posted a photo with Chen Meng on Weibo, and the background was the training ground they often went to when they were children.
The two childhood teammates finally met at the top.
Also at last year's Olympic Games, Chinese female fencer Sun Yiwen was also loved by the audience, and after winning the gold medal, he also received Wang Jiaer's air congratulations.
You know, Wang Jiaer used to be a professional fencer.
At the age of 12, he stepped onto the fencing field of the National Games and won the first gold medal in his life. In 2010, at the age of 16, he was already ranked 11th in the world at the Singapore Youth Olympic Games.
At the age of 17, Wang Jiaer won the Asian Youth Championships U17 Men's Sabre Individual + Team Event, ranking first in U17 Asia in the same year.
At that time, he had the opportunity to participate in the London Olympics, but at the same time, the Entertainment Agency in South Korea also extended an olive branch to him. Between becoming a singing and dancing idol and an Olympian, Wang Jiaer ignored the opposition of those around him and finally chose the former.
Nowadays, the Jiaer we see can already sing and dance freely on the stage, and can also output wildly in the variety show.
His poor Mandarin, occasional jokes in Korean, his voice that wasn't clear enough, and his tall figure were not hindered, and Jackson Wang overcame many shortcomings and walked into our vision with his dream appearance.
In fact, in the show business circle, there are many artists we are familiar with who have had the background of athletes, and it is those difficult years of hard training that have made them tough character later.
For example, the actor Tao Hong, who we are familiar with, was once an athlete of the national synchronized swimming team and participated in many national and world competitions.
In 1992, he won the fifth place in the World Cup group synchronized swimming, and in 1993, he won the championship in the collective synchronized swimming competition of the National Games.
Later, when Jiang Wen was selecting actors for the movie "Sunny Day", out of the needs of the role, he specially went to Tao Hong's synchronized swimming team to pick people.
At that time, she laughed very characteristically, which impressed Jiang Wen, so the synchronized swimmer Tao Hong was selected by the director group and became Yu Beibei on the screen later.
Since then, Tao Hong bid farewell to the swimming world, was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, and began to ride the wind and waves on the road of acting, and has created many deeply rooted roles in film and television dramas such as "The Eight Precepts of the Brilliant Spring Pig", "Empty Mirror", "Little Joy" and so on.
With Tao Hong's common synchronized swimming background, there is also an actor Niu Li, who is known as the "national daughter-in-law".
As one of the country's first synchronized swimmers, Niu Li is Tao Hong's predecessor. It's just that because her mother is a shooting instructor, Niu Li, who has not been exposed to synchronized swimming for a long time, quickly turned into a shooter.
Practicing shooting requires concentration and determination, and this experience has shaped Niu Li's resolute character. Later, Niu Li also used the boyishness in this personality in the performance, in addition to the "little daughter-in-law" who frequently partnered with Guo Donglin on the Spring Festival Gala stage, she also created the role of many big women.
For example, in "Breaking into the Kanto", the former Dynasty Ge Ge Nawen who can help her husband win back all his belongings and is straightforward and cheerful.
The beautiful sisters in the film and television drama used to be the golden flowers on the field, and in the variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" of Hunan Satellite TV last year, the actor Zuo Xiaoqing's first stage full of artistic gymnastic elements impressed the audience.
Yes, she was also a professional rhythmic gymnast, participated in Hunan provincial and municipal gymnastics competitions, and later successfully entered the national gymnastics team, became a Member of the Chinese Women's Rhythmic Gymnastics Team, and won many domestic championships.
After leaving the gymnastics arena for many years, Zuo Xiaoqing posted his daughter's training photos imitating himself after the program was broadcast, which was 100% similar and also made netizens sigh a wave of time passing.
In addition, there were Zhang Lanxin, who was once the national champion of taekwondo, Hu Bing, a kayaker, Zheng Kai, a sprinting national second-class athlete, And Ni Ni, a national second-class swimmer, and so on, who are now familiar to us, and they are also the athletes in the sports arena that year.
The Winter Olympics are still continuing, in addition to the wonderful competition on the field, perhaps more sports-related stories are also unfolding, if you can close the distance between the public and sports, this is not a good thing.
