Last year, Su Bingtian ran 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics, making him a new generation of Asian flyers, and Su Bingtian and Liu Xiang also became outstanding figures for mainland track and field athletes.
Today I want to introduce to you is the "female version of Su Bingtian" Ge Manqi, because there is a tattoo of a sika deer in the private place, almost ruined her career, before introducing her story, I also want to ask everyone, is there anything wrong with athlete tattoos?
01
Ge Manqi, born on October 13, 1997 in Qingliu County, Sanming City, Fujian Province, loved running as a child, and his parents often felt that they had raised a tomboy.
At that time, Ge Manqi only knew that he liked to run, but he did not think about engaging in this career path in the future, a chance, someone on the side of the road watched her run every day, and he said in passing, if you like running, be a professional athlete.
It was such a sentence that Ge Manqi felt that she could try it, so she asked her parents to take her into the local sports team.
At that time, the coach found the potential in her body, felt that she was a good seedling, and after getting systematic training, there would be good development, so he recommended her to go to Xiamen to train on a more professional training team.
So Ge Manqi went to Xiamen alone from Sanming in Fujian Province to find his athletic dream...
At that time, the coach was found Song Shulin, who was an excellent decathlete athlete in the mainland, and when he saw Ge Manqi's first glance, the coach was not very satisfied, because he was relatively short, but the speed was really fast, so he accepted it first.
Ge Manqi stayed in Xiamen, taking cultural classes in the school in the morning and training on the athletic field in the afternoon, and the coach always believed that those who engaged in sports must also have culture, so Ge Manqi's cultural class results have not been left behind.
When in Xiamen, Ge Manqi was actually trained in various sports, and even practiced pole vaulting, but she was still not very suitable for one meter six, and in the urban games at that time, Ge Manqi also won the first place in sprinting, and has been associated with sprinting ever since.
After careful testing, the coach felt that Ge Manqi was a good seedling for sprinting, and he specialized in sprinting in the future.

In order to make Ge Manqi have a better development, before the Fujian Provincial Games, Song Shulin took Ge Manqi to Fuzhou and recommended it with his good friend Coach Liu Zhaoxu.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Ge Manqi can only run about 12.45 seconds in 100 meters, when she is more stressed, the better, in front of the two coaches, she actually ran out of an impressive performance of 11.78 seconds.
Seeing this kind of good seedling, Coach Liu promised to accept her, and vowed that this was a top-notch seedling, and Ge Manqi was only 13 years old at the time.
In 2013, Ge Manqi participated in the women's 100 meters of the second Asian Youth Games, won the gold medal with excellent results, and in successive competitions, Ge Manqi achieved good results.
This also makes her very motivated, because she loves athletics, and after the motivation of her achievements, she has become obsessed with the sport of sprinting, and she has become a member of the Rio Olympic Games with her excellent results.
In 2018, Ge Manqi won a number of medals at the Asian Games in Jakarta, coupled with her outstanding looks, which made her quickly gain a large number of fans, and after getting more attention, it also made her more annoyed...

Because of the good results in the game, coupled with the appearance is very popular with the public, so that Ge Manqi quickly became the object of everyone's attention.
Many people noticed that a sika deer tattooed on her lower abdomen, because the location is more special and obvious, has been questioned by many people, many netizens think that she tattooed a sika deer in her private place, must be a bad girl, and as an athlete of the national team, representing the image of the country, it is easy to cause negative impact.
Some people say that she is pregnant because she is pregnant, in order to cover the scar, for a time Ge Manqi has become the focus of people's attention, and more and more netizens have suggested to the national team to expel Ge Manqi.
Ge Manqi also explained in the interview: The reason for getting this tattoo is very simple, that is, the sika deer runs fast and is very spiritual, hoping that through it can bring some good luck to yourself and make yourself run faster.
But netizens did not buy it, and even insulted Ge Manqi on social media for a lot of filthy words, and believed that if the tattoo was not cleaned, don't represent the country, don't smear the country, and don't bring bad children who like athletics.
At that time, Ge Manqi was very devastated after seeing these comments, and he never expected that he would cause so many people to be dissatisfied because of tattooing sika deer, and even had the idea of retiring early...
During this period, her parents gave her a lot of comfort, telling her not to care about other people's opinions, the love of beauty is everyone's heart, and her own body is her own decision, which makes Ge Manqi slowly come out of the darkness.
Ge Manqi has also slowly matured in this process, wanting to prove himself with his own achievements, and uninstalling his social media, sinking his heart to exercise and improve his speed to another level.
At last year's Tokyo Olympics, Ge Manqi used skin stickers to cover his tattoos so as not to be attacked by more people and online violence, and he could also devote himself to the game.
In the preliminary round of the 100 meters, Ge Manqi reached the semi-finals with a good time of 11.20 seconds, becoming the first person in Chinese history, although he missed the final, he surpassed himself and broke through history.
Later, in the National Games, he also won the 100 meters, 200 meters, 4× 100 meters relay championships, truly proved his ability and strength, and also broke all doubts.

Ge Manqi is a well-deserved "female version of Su Bingtian", and there is no doubt that the Asian female flyer, as an athlete, she does her best and dares to be with the limit.
Many netizens said that the cloth on Ge Manqi's stomach is a fig leaf, and what makes Ge Manqi sad is not these unbearable words, but that people pay more attention to the tape that covers the tattoo than to her achievements, which is more of an irony for athletes.
Ge Manqi, now 24 years old, must be the new star of the new generation of Chinese women's athletics, and hopes that in the future, she can put down all her baggage and doubts, and start to continue to start again, and the road ahead is heavy and long.
I also hope that the majority of netizens do not put more eyes on the tattoo, but the moment when she wins glory for the country and fights for the country, the tattoo is not guilty, the key lies in whether the heart of the person who looks at it is pure.
