Beijing Winter Olympics Hungarian national short track speed skating team head coach Zhang Jing, is a native of Changchun, China, she represented China in the Lillehammer Winter Olympics in 1994, after retiring, in 1912 as a Chinese sports foreign exchange ambassador coach of the Hungarian national short track speed skating team, before, the Hungarian national team belonged to the third and fourth class level, under the leadership of Zhang Jing, the 1918 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics won the men's 5000 meters relay championship, ranking among the world's strongest teams, therefore, Zhang Jing won the "Hungarian National Meritorious Service" medal. Such a person with great achievements, I met thirty years ago, and had a second contact, do you want to listen to it?
In 1990, once when I went to the Jilin Provincial Sports School to see my daughter, I was sitting on a small bench in the corridor repairing an ice knife, and a very handsome female team member, holding a pair of pliers in her hand, said to me very politely: "Uncle Liu, my pliers can't be opened, please help me repair it." It turned out that her pliers eyes were rusty, I told her to fix them immediately, I dropped a drop of motor oil on the pliers eyes and asked her, "What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Jing," she replied me cheerfully.
"Ah, you're a strong player, right?" I asked again.
"I'm a strong player, a new batch."
I asked again, "Is the health certificate down?"
"Come down, I'll get it for you." I turned around and showed me the certificate from the house, which was dark red and read: Awarded Zhang Jing the title of 500 meters athlete, with a score of 45 seconds 12', signed by Li Menghua of the Sports Commission of the People's Republic of China.
"Oh well! What's next for you to be an international athlete? I happily said to her, Zhang Jing did not answer directly, smiled. This is how I met Zhang Jing. How's that? Zhang Jing when she was a girl was so cute, right?
The second contact with Zhang Jing was in 1991, and Zhang Jing was already a national team. The Asian Short Track Speed Skating Championships were held in Harbin, and the women's 1500m was held in a group of finals, including Zhang Jing of China, 2 players from South Korea and 1 player from Japan. The Korean players' style of competition is quite spicy, with a team spirit of sacrifice. I stood outside the last corner of the baffle, the baffle was waist high, inside was a row of protective pads, the out of the corner is the athlete's fierce struggle, the most prone to fall.
The last lap of the game, the first 2 positions were occupied by 2 Korean players, Zhang Jing followed in the third position, 2 Korean players tightly pressed the inside road, Zhang Jing accelerated, ready to surpass from the outside road, the Korean player Kim Saihua in the second position also accelerated at the same time, rushing outward obliquely, obviously this is sacrificing himself and protecting his companions. Instantly the ice knives collided, the two fell to the ground, Zhang Jing's body leaned back, his ass was on the ice, his body spun in a circle like lightning rushing towards the direction where I was standing, the bend could be 8 meters between the baffles, Zhang Jing rushed to the baffle, raised a hand, said it was too late, then fast, I leaned forward, stretched out my right hand and grabbed Zhang Jing's open palm at once, lifted it up with force, Zhang Jing also took advantage of the momentum, Zhang Jing's body broke away from the ice surface, suddenly lying on the baffle, but it was still late, Kinsey Flower also rushed to the front, Zhang Jing's right calf inside muscle was scratched by Kinsey Flower's ice knife, everyone lifted Zhang Jing to the outside of the baffle together, the field doctor has arrived, bandaged the wound, the doctor said that there was no injury to the bone, the arterial blood vessel was not injured, Zhang Jing was not hospitalized, raised some Yuezi, the wound was healed. In that competition, South Korea's Kim Sai-hwa fouled and was sentenced, and Zhang Jing finished third.
A few days later, I saw Zhang Jing again, and Zhang Jing said to me naughtily: "Uncle Liu is not simple, he has practiced!"
I also teased her, "I've practiced the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon." This is my second contact with Zhang Jing.
The following story is more than thirty years later.
My little granddaughter and her classmates have a "star chasing" ethos, and she is also a star chaser. She chased the Olympic champion - Hungarian short track speed skater Liu Shaolin, Liu Shaoang brothers, I asked my granddaughter, how are they Chinese names? My granddaughter told me that their father was Chinese, their mother was Hungarian, and their coach was Zhang Jing. Everyone knows that the "star chaser" people are very eager to get the souvenirs signed by their idols in their hearts, so my granddaughter pestered her mother, asking her mother to find a way to find Zhang Jing, to give a sweatshirt to have a signature, her mother said, I don't have Zhang Jing's communication method, can't contact ah! Later, her mother called Su Xiaohua, the coach of the Bayi team, and Su Xiaohua quickly agreed: "A small matter, wait." Soon, the international express mailed 2 pieces of Liu Shaolin, Liu Shaoang autographed, with the Hungarian national emblem of the national brand sportswear.
My little granddaughter got the autographed sportswear of her idols Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang, and how happy she was, needless to say, of course, she had to take it to the school to show off among her friends. At the beginning, the little friends touched the left and looked at the right, very surprised, very envious, after the surprise, some of the small partners asked: "Is it true?" Then another friend said, "It's fake!"
Let my little granddaughter repeat "It's true!" "It's true!" The friends will still be suspicious. Later, I asked the teacher to help me dialectically, of course, the teacher was also difficult to distinguish between true and false, and finally my little granddaughter showed the bottom card: "My mother asked for me."
What year did Zhang Jing come to Hungary to coach? My daughter told me what had happened.
After Zhang Jing retired, he worked as a coach in the jilin provincial sports team junior training class, in 2010 there were 2 team members in the class, it was brothers, brother Liu Shaolin was 13 years old, brother Liu Shaoang was 11 years old, their father Liu Shilin was originally a Chinese, went to Hungary to study and marry a Hungarian wife and settled in Hungary, this time to Jilin University to work, the two brothers came with their parents.
When the brothers and Zhang Jing communicate, they use Chinese, Hungarian, english plus exaggerated expressions and gestures, which will cause everyone to laugh at this time. The brothers are very talented in skating, have practiced skating in Hungary, have a certain foundation, through the training of the famous teacher Zhang Jing, the technology improves very quickly, their parents worked in Changchun for 1 and a half years to return to China, the two brothers also returned to Hungary with their parents.
After Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang returned to China, it was amazing, and the brothers "fought all over the world invincible!" "The Hungarian Skating Association saw that China's training methods were so advanced, so it invited Zhang Jing to the Hungarian national team to coach the head coach through the Chinese Skating Association.
In February 2012, Zhang Jing was appointed by the Chinese Skating Association to be the head coach of the Hungarian national team, exactly 10 years after the Beijing Winter Olympics, and zhang Jing was seen on TV yesterday.
Zhang Jing's story is over, how do you feel?
