Anshan spirit Firm confidence rekindle passion to achieve breakthroughs
In the Olympic Games, Anshan athletes achieved excellent results through hard work and tenacious struggle, showing a high-spirited and upward spirit, and winning glory for the motherland. They are worthy of being the outstanding sons and daughters of Anshan and the pride and pride of the people of Anshan.
However, how much hardship and sweat behind athletes competing for gold and silver is unimaginable to ordinary people. They "struggle" with illness, compete with themselves, practice countless times, and use hard work to achieve a better version of themselves.
Xu Mengtao began to learn gymnastics at the age of 4, and turned to freestyle skiing aerial skills at the age of 12, which was practiced for 20 years. In her own words, she has only done one thing in those 20 years, and that is "perseverance because of love, and determination because of dreams." In the past ten years, Xu Mengtao has undergone 4 major surgeries, nearly 70% of the meniscus has been removed, knee ligament tears, ligament ruptures, ankle and elbow injuries... But after every fall, she was always able to get up tenaciously. She did not know how many meters she ran, how much sweat she had, whether it was injured or trough, Xu Mengtao has always aimed to stand on the highest podium, insisted on persevering and persevering, and finally realized her dream of Beijing and realized her dream.
Malone began to learn table tennis at the age of 5, was selected for the national team at the age of 15, and he still insisted on playing when he loved table tennis, but he was also plagued by injuries. Due to the wear and calcification of the knee and the poor conservative treatment, Malone had no choice but to undergo surgery in August 2019, less than a year before the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics. After more than two months of recovery, Malone returned to the field, but a series of defeats made him doubt his ability as a "champion harvester". In the face of a series of blows such as injury, epidemic, And Olympic postponement, Malone, who was called the strongest "hexagonal warrior" on the surface by the Japanese media, did not give in, and in the Tokyo Olympic Games, Malone not only successfully defended the men's singles champion, but also led the team to defend the men's team championship, and also achieved the feat of double circle Grand Slam.
Hard work is the eternal Olympic spirit, and this spirit not only inspires athletes, but also inspires everyone. Anshan is the place where the dreams of Xu Mengtao, sports celebrities, have opened their dreams, and their exciting youth and tenacious struggle have left a deep imprint of the Anshan spirit. Behind their gold and silver in the arena is the belief of Anshan people to never accept defeat and never return, and it is the style of fighting bravely and working hard.
The comprehensive revitalization of Anshan in the new era is inseparable from strong spiritual support. Anshan athletes fly over their dreams and achieve brilliant achievements on the Olympic field, which will surely inspire us to carry forward the Olympic spirit of "faster, higher, stronger and more united", condense the powerful joint force of grasping development and promoting revitalization, and in accordance with the beautiful blueprint drawn by the 13th Municipal Party Congress, strengthen confidence, rekindle passion, work momentum, dry blood, and strive to achieve a new breakthrough in the comprehensive revitalization of Anshan in the new era.
