On February 12, Beijing time, the men's 500-meter speed skating event at the Winter Olympics, China's Gao Tingyu won the championship in 34.32 seconds, South Korea's Che Minkui won the silver medal in 34.39 seconds, and Japan's Mori Shigehashig won the bronze medal in 34.49 seconds. Gao Tingyu was very excited after winning the championship, and he reproduced Liu Xiang's actions in Athens in 2004.
Gao Tingyu broke the Olympic record and won the title without the slightest doubt, he just became the leader of the project, four years ago he was only the bronze medal in the project, four years later he was the king of the project.
The Olympic Organizing Committee also reviewed the group photo of Gao Tingyu when he won the bronze medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Games, writing: This time, the dream is within reach. In just four years, Gao Tingyu has such a rapid promotion thanks to the guidance of one person Li Yan! Perhaps many people do not know that Gao Tingyu's best result this season is 32.288 seconds instead of 32.32 seconds, so Li Yan's guidance before the game is very confident.
In the words of netizens, 'Watching Li Yan's guidance on the spot feels very solid'. The 56-year-old Li Yan has been the fourth year to bring the Olympic gold medalist, she is the Olympic 9 gold coach, she has trained a number of world champions, Olympic champions, such as Wang Meng, Zhou Yang, this time Gao Tingyu also became the Olympic champion.
Li Yan's guidance is really great, bringing out Wang Meng, Wu Dajing and others in the short track, and now speed skating has led Gao Tingyu to create history, and she has become the coach who brought out the Olympic Games from the short track - avenue. It is worth mentioning that Gao Tingyu won the gold medal in the speed skating 500 meters, which is the first gold medal for this men's speed skating. (The bronze medal four years ago was the first medal)
Remember the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics? After Wang Meng successfully defended her title, she knelt down on her knees toward the coach's seat and prostrated her head twice on the ice. Then she hugged her mentor Li Yan, and in the interview, Wang Meng said: "The first one is dedicated to the coach, who taught me how to skate in the 500 meters. ”
Li Yan is currently the head coach of the speed skating national training team, and the 56-year-old is still active on the ice rink. I don't know if you've seen the TV series Beyond? The character played by Ma Li is like the prototype of Li Yan's guidance, she has devoted her life to the training of skating projects, and has brought out one champion after another, and her disciples have also become coaches and continue to teach by example.
