During the Winter Olympics, you must not miss, in addition to the wonderful events, there is also Wang Meng's commentary.
Her golden phrase "My eyes are rulers" has been brushed for many days.

A few days ago, she used her "biao" English to show foreign reporters how to translate the Northeast dialect "across the road".
"Chinese 隔路 in English is special."
"Very special."
"Special plus!"
"The simplest thing to tell you is special!"
This authentic Northeastern dialect, after a translation, I actually understood

Wang Meng's explanation is humorous and professional.
In the semi-finals of the men's 5000m relay in short track speed skating, Li Wenlong of the Chinese team and the Canadian player fell after colliding with their feet, and the Chinese team finished the race with the fourth place in the group.
At that time, most of the audience expressed regret. Only Wang Meng said very firmly: "Kick the knife kick the knife." "The post-match judgment is indeed as Wang Meng said, the Chinese team was awarded to the final of Group A.
After the results came out, Wang Meng patted the case and stood up, "What do I say? Am I a coach in vain? When Wang Meng was a coach, he asked the technical representative of the International Skating Federation for two hours about the penalty of the kick knife rules.
Her confidence in the commentary seat is bought by past experience and accumulation.
A good person, really shines wherever he is.
When Wang Meng was an athlete, she was the well-deserved devil of short track speed skating; now that she is off the field, she still uses a strong personality charm to circle fans.
Looking at Wang Meng, who dominates the screen on the hot search, I can't help but think: Isn't this our best "big heroine" template?
Our domestic dramas love to shoot the drama of the big heroine. If the heroines in the play can look up to Wang Meng, I can guarantee that everyone will love to watch.
"Strong!"
The great devil who is engaged in business
Why?
Because from Wang Meng's experience, she is, to some extent, quite in line with the popular personality - "beautiful and strong".
Let's start with "strong."
This should not be controversial. Wang Meng is irreproachably "strong" in the short track speed skating event.
How strong is it?
She won four gold medals in two Winter Olympics, becoming the first champion in the history of the Chinese Winter Olympics to successfully defend her title;
She broke the world record seven times and was the first to skate in 43 seconds in the women's short track speed skating event;
She holds 51 world championship titles, the second most Chinese player in history to win the world championship, after Da Yang Yang...
△ Wang Meng slid into 43 seconds that year, which was a big breakthrough in the women's short track 500 meters
At its peak, Wang Meng was basically the "king" of the women's short track 500 meters.
Wang Meng once relayed the words of American short track speed skater Apollo: "The short track competition is a lot of suspense, because there are too many uncontrollable factors. But in this Olympic Games, there is only one event without suspense, that is, the women's 500 meters, which is definitely Wang Meng of China. ”
Wang Meng can have such a strong dominance on the women's 500 meters, first, it is indeed because of her good physical fitness and talent.
She has said very much versailly that in addition to short track, she is also proficient in football, basketball, and tennis. When she was 8 years old, she was determined to achieve a long jump of 2.05 meters. It is this extraordinary explosiveness that is favored by the enlightenment coach Ma Qingzhong.
But on the other hand, in addition to having a god to appreciate food, Wang Meng herself is also extremely dedicated and passionate about the short track speed skating career.
When the enlightenment coach wanted to recruit Wang Meng, her parents did not quite agree. Because they feel that it is too hard to engage in sports, in case they can't practice, they are likely to be unable to find a job after retiring.
But Wang Meng was stubborn. She secretly went to training without her family until she finally had to live on campus, and then she told her parents. Her parents saw that she liked it so much and insisted on it, so they let her go skating.
At that time, the training conditions were very difficult.
Wang Meng is a native of Qitaihe, Heilongjiang, which is a small city. Her first ice training was done on the naturally frozen ice of a small river on the outskirts of the city.
There is a problem with these field training grounds, that is, when the sun comes out, the ice is easy to melt. In the middle of the night, when the weather is at its coldest, it's the best time for these freezes.
Therefore, when Wang Meng was a child, he often practiced ice in the middle of the night, often from one or two o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the morning.
However, probably because he liked it, Wang Meng didn't feel bitter or tired at all.
She just practiced like this every day, sometimes bleeding, and the blood froze on her body, and she didn't know it.
Wang Meng said that his hardest work is the development period. She was 1 meter 5 tall at the time, and grew to more than 130 pounds. The coach said that if you don't lose weight, you probably won't be able to continue practicing.
Wang Meng made a fierce effort to "lose weight", eating only half a bowl of rice and a little green vegetables every day, and nibbling cucumbers when he was hungry. Every afternoon, under the supervision of her parents, she ran thirty laps around the 400-meter track.
In this way, after more than a year of unimpeded loss, Wang Meng finally lost weight and could return to the team to continue practicing short track.
At the 2001 Nine Games, 16-year-old Wang Meng finished third in the women's short track speed skating 1500 meters. In the same year, she was promoted to the national team.
Wang Meng, who entered the national team, is regarded as the new generation of leaders of China's women's short track after The Great Yang Yang. At the Tenth Games, Wang Meng was originally a strong contender for the women's short track 500 meters, but was sent off by the referee during the final. Dissatisfied with the punishment, Wang Meng protested by throwing an ice knife.
This act caused great controversy at the time. Afterwards, when Wang Meng looked back at the video of the game, she felt that she was too reckless. "The referee has the job of refereeing, if you want to win the championship, you should do everything best, so that the referee can't pick out any faults."
Since then, Wang Meng has focused more energy on studying technology.
She has to train herself to be impeccable.
The action of "backhand sliding", which is talked about by people, is actually practiced by Wang Mao. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, the South Korean team won six gold medals in eight short track speed skating events. At that time, Wang Meng, who had won a gold, a silver and a bronze, had already achieved quite good results, but she still felt very unhappy. If she wanted to win over the Korean team, she began to study her opponents.
During the study, she found that the Korean player is indeed in better physical fitness, "when you can't lift your legs, he can still lift his legs." As a result, Wang Meng was determined to improve himself more intensely. She forced herself to slide with her hands behind her back, and she had to slide faster than others. "After your whole ability is improved, you will be more confident, and you can skate or surpass with your backhand in the game."
Wang Meng's obsession with strength improvement is also reflected in the polishing of equipment.
She really enjoys studying ice knives.
Her ice knife is unique in the world. This is the length that best suits her after many experiments of her own: 17.25 inches.
General ice knives are progressive in 0.5-inch increments. For Wang Meng, 17.5 is too long, and 17 she feels as if it is a bit insufficient. In the end, the 17.25-inch ice knife was customized, which is a little more than the other people's ice knives. But it is precisely this point that can make Wang Meng's technical action of pedaling ice better.
Even if she is talented, what supports her to continue to surpass is her own love and sense of faith.
It is precisely because Wang Meng has always been pursuing the ultimate and has not slackened off, so when she skates, she can be so confident and calm, and reach the realm of the great demon king of "human-knife unity".
△ In martial arts novels, Wang Meng is definitely the kind of martial arts master who seeks defeat alone. In the short track speed skating project, she has done almost every detail to the extreme.
"Miserable?"
She has experienced lows, but she has never sold miserably
When I say "miserable", I would like to emphasize that Wang Meng's "miserable" is in double quotation marks, not really saying how pitiful her life is, or how difficult her life is.
Rather, it refers to her career, with ups and downs, experiencing many setbacks and lows.
Wang Meng's strength is very strong, but she has also planted a lot of heels because of her personality. In 2006, after the Turin Winter Olympics, Li Yan, who had won gold medals and coached in Austria and the United States, was hired back to the Chinese short track speed skating team as the head coach.
Wang Meng was the absolute main force in the team at that time, and should be Li Yan's beloved general. However, Wang Meng did not deal with Li Yan. Li Yan came, and the coach who used to take Wang Meng was transferred away. Secondly, Li Yan always mixed English in the Chinese, which made Wang Meng very unaccustomed.
The conflict between the two broke out at the Asian Winter Games in 2007.
In the women's 1500m final, Wang Meng only finished third. After the game, Wang Said Li Yan did not develop any tactics for her. She looked at the camera and said, "I went back to the local team to train, and the national team was not suitable for me." ”
As soon as these angry words came out, Wang Meng was banned from the Winter Sports Management Center for one year.
Leaving the national team and leaving the environment of the stars and the moon, Wang Meng calmed down and began to reflect on himself: "Am I not doing well enough?" Did I put myself too high after winning the Olympic championship? ”
In order to dream, in order to continue to progress on the short track, Wang Meng decided to come out of that state of arrogance, forget the gold medal, and start everything from scratch.
She returned to the national team, and Li Yan eliminated mustard. She completely handed herself over to Li Yan. Then there was the Vancouver Winter Olympics, Wang Meng won the championship after thanking Li Yan for prostrating.
Wang Meng is such a true woman, as long as the other party treats her sincerely, she will also return the favor with sincerity. "You salute me a foot, I salute you a foot."
The Vancouver Winter Olympics was a culmination in Wang's career.
After winning the three golds, everyone thinks that Wang Meng, who is in good shape, can skate for another four years.
However, in 2011, Wang Meng had another "Lijiang incident" and "Qingdao infighting". When Wang Meng was training in Qingdao, he had a dispute with the team leader Wang Chunlu because of the late return. During the dispute, Wang Meng was also scratched in the arm by glass.
After this conflict, Wang Meng was expelled from the national team and disqualified from participating in domestic and international competitions indefinitely.
For Wang Meng, who was 27 years old at the time, such a ban was devastating.
During that time, a reporter photographed Wang Meng training alone in a park in Beijing. Wang Meng, who was immersed in hard training, did not know when he would be able to return to the field.
Giving up, Of course, Wang Meng also thought about it.
But leaving like this is very irresponsible. "(If I just walk like this) it's going to be a stain on my life and a stain on the Chinese short track speed skating team."
At such a moment, it was still a sense of faith that saved Wang Meng. She still wants to go back to the ice rink and prove herself.
So, once again, she became down-to-earth. As long as you stay in shape, you can wait until the day when the ban is lifted. In 2012, Wang Meng followed the provincial team to Canada to train. In the training camp, Wang Meng worked harder than others, and the training weight of each of her trainings was 20-30 kg higher than that of other female team members.
Wang Meng used action to prove that he was ready.
In September 2012, after a 14-month ban, Wang Meng finally returned to the national team.
Her return this time, there has been a great change in mentality. Because she had lost, she was more grateful for what she had now.
Li Yan said that Wang Meng had become modest and low-key.
On the field, Wang Meng is still the domineering queen, but when she gets off the field, she can smile and face her opponents and dance with other players.
At this time, Wang Meng, who has become mature, is looking forward to the arrival of the Sochi Olympic Games.
However, the surprise came again at this time.
On January 16, 2014, only 21 days before the Sochi Winter Olympics, Wang Meng collided with his teammates in a training session and fractured his bones, and he missed Sochi.
And this injury also completely ended Wang Meng's career as an athlete.
Wang went through three surgeries. "The first time there were a lot of people around, the second time there were only parents, and the third time there were only parents." In the program, Wang Meng once lightly described the operation situation at that time.
After being injured, Wang Meng was almost never on the ice. "The foot can't get into that shoe anymore."
There are regrets, but Wang Meng does not have too many complaints. In short track speed skating, as an athlete, she has paid a lot. Next, she can also stand on the ice rink in another identity.
So, we can see Wang Meng on the commentary seat, and we can also see Wang Meng, who founded the sports MCN for retired athletes.
"You can't see this kind of nameless people, they're also athletes, they've been in this project for ten years, and they also need to enter the society and re-employ, so what I'm doing is a mission."
Of course, Wang Meng is not a person without shortcomings, and her past ups and downs in the national team are also somewhat related to her violent temper. However, what is quite rare is that Wang Meng did not turn setbacks into anger, but each time he seriously reflected on himself and transformed this into energy.
She is atmospheric, open-minded, has the courage to admit and accept her mistakes, and has the ability to make up for her mistakes. Wang Meng's career has not been smooth, but she has the ability to take herself out of the haze every time.
"Beauty~"
No one can define what a woman looks like
Few people associate "beauty" with Wang Meng.
However, in my eyes, Wang Meng is a woman who represents "beauty".
She broke down those worldly stereotypes of women.
Women can be domineering and flamboyant.
Women can be humorous and bold.
Women can have ambitions and big patterns.
She has short hair, but she can also be beautiful.
△ Wang Meng said in the commentary booth that he put on the lipstick sent by Liu Yuxin to explain. She had more than three hundred lipsticks at home.
She looks grinning, but she also hides a sensual side.
△ Wang Meng said that at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, she did not cry when she won the championship herself, but she shed tears when Zhou Yang won the championship. She felt that Zhou Yang was too beautiful and relieved, and she cried when she was excited.
She can have an "anti-traditional" side to her, but at the same time, she can have something that tradition sees as "feminine."
She was just so unexpected.
A very interesting detail, on "Lu Yu has a date", the program team went to the female team members' dormitories to shoot, and found that their beds were all covered with photos of Wang Meng.
Wang Meng said triumphantly, which proves that I am the person they like.
I understand too well the feelings of these girls who "like Wang Meng" or "idolize Wang Meng".
As an athlete, she has impressive results. As a woman, she stepped out of the circle that society had drawn for women.
I remember in the interview, Yang Lan asked her: "When will you feel that you are still a girl after all?" ”
Wang Meng replied calmly that she had never thought of such a thing. "I never thought I was a boy or if I was a girl after all."
This kind of "didn't think about it", but it is really too powerful.
She didn't mind what other people thought she was like, and she didn't care about the comments that said she wasn't "like a girl."
She didn't limit herself by gender, even if she did what she traditionally thought "doesn't look like a girl would do" she didn't matter, she just had to live herself.
This is Wang Meng's "beauty", she cannot be defined, she lives freely and beautifully.
Like what Wang Meng said, I myself am a brighter aura than the Olympic champion. This is the confidence that belongs to the big heroine.
I sincerely hope to see more such a big heroine with an independent posture and a unique appearance in the future.
"Beauty" and "strength" should not be routines.
Women are diverse, and as long as that is the way she "likes", that is what she "should be".
