Once, a 17-year-old boy was favored by the head coach and selected for the Chinese short track speed skating national team. However, this was not the brilliant starting point of his career, but the beginning of the "purgatory" on earth.
The boy said: Other people are 24 hours a day, I am 48 hours a day!
Why is the boy's time in the national team so "difficult"?
Because although the boy was selected for the national team, he was assigned to the female team as a sparring partner.
At that time, there was indeed a certain gap between the skills and strength of the boys and the female players. The long-distance training was surpassed by Zhou Yang, and the short-distance training could not slip fan Kexin, and the boy's self-esteem was hit hard. Every minute on the training ground was unusually difficult.
Especially after training Zhou Yang slid past him, he threw a "King's Contempt" look, making the boy say bluntly: He wanted to rush up and beat her!
But the boy finally put up with it, in the boy's view, his own skills and strength are not up to par, and he can't blame others.
Therefore, in addition to sparring for female players, boys take the initiative to communicate with their assistant coaches, practice skating skills with the help of assistant coaches, strengthen training intensity, and improve their performance step by step.
Relying on the efforts of ordinary people, today, the boy has become the leader of the Chinese short track speed skating men's team, the world record holder in the men's 500 meters, the Olympic record holder, and the absolute king of the men's 500 meters.
This boy is the short track speed skating men's 500m champion at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics - Wu Dajing!
With his love for ice and snow projects and his accumulated persistence, Wu Dajing survived the lowest valley and darkest moment of his career, from the national team "crane tail" team member, facing the danger of being rotated at any time, and growing into the strength of the national team today.
Perhaps there is also a credit for the pressure that Zhou Yang gave him that year.
Did Zhou Yang really "bully" the new team members? Why does the "King's Contempt" come after every time you slide over Wu Dajing?
Friends who are familiar with short track speed skating know that the competition between China and South Korea in short track speed skating is very fierce. Wang Meng once said bluntly: I have only one goal in the arena, that is, to kill the Korean team.
Although Zhou Yang did not say it in his mouth, he also had the same goal in his heart, and this goal originated from a newspaper report in the early years.
At that time, Zhou Yang, who was still in Changchun City, accidentally saw a newspaper that said that it would take at least 20 years for China to surpass South Korea in the short-track speed skating project.
20 years means that until the end of Zhou Yang's career, she can't surpass the Korean team, but Zhou Yang can't accept such a "fact", she wants to rewrite history during her generation of athletes!
Zhou Yang, who entered the national team, trained very hard, and when there were no Korean athletes on the field, she regarded the male players in the sparring team as Korean athletes, so after passing the "Korean athletes" on the training ground, she would throw "eye sha".
On the training ground, not only Wu Dajing, but all the male players who gave Zhou Yang sparring were surpassed by her. Because she always remembers the words of Li Yan's guidance: you can surpass the sparring male team members, you can skate over the South Korean team and win the world championship.
Surpassing the male players is Zhou Yang's only goal on the training ground.
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Zhou Yang came out of the women's 1500m final, including 3 Korean athletes and 8 people, and won the gold medal.
That game was so full of joy that even Liu Xingyu, the commentator at the time, couldn't help but shout: Starting today, the Winter Olympic Women's 1500m Competition Jiang ~ Mountain ~ Yi ~ Lord!
In the women's 3000m relay event that followed, Zhou Yang and his teammates Wang Mao, Sun Linlin and Zhang Hui performed well and won the women's 3000m relay championship, ending the 16-year domination of the Korean team in this event!
Zhou Yang used his strength to break the "prophecy" in the newspaper that year, not only rewriting the history of short track speed skating during his sports career, but also inspiring a new world champion and Olympic champion. Have to say, it was all the best arrangement!
