In addition to the Olympic athletes who won medals,
There are also many athletes who work hard,
Although he did not get on the podium,
But their spirit of bravely chasing dreams is also worthy of respect,
Their names should also be remembered.
Like what:
Lone hero Zhang Jiahao
Chinese Iron Man Jia Zongyang
They proved with practical actions:
Strive to achieve your dreams,
It's a pretty cool and bloody thing.
Ordinary people can also live an extraordinary life!
Read their stories,
I believe you will be in tears as much as I am.
Together for a Shared future
If Gu Ailing and Su Yiming are the proud sons of heaven and the pride of the country, then this Chinese snowboarder, although he did not qualify for the Winter Olympics, can be called a lone hero.
His bloody story of pursuing his dream of the Winter Olympics alone really exploded!
Other professional skiers are exposed to skiing at the age of three or four, start professional training, and can usher in the peak of their careers in their teens, such as Gu Ailing, such as Su Yiming.
Zhang Jiahao only began to contact skiing at the age of 17, before which he was a baker.
Once a group of roller skater friends took him to play skiing, the first time he came into contact with snowboarding, Zhang Jiahao was madly obsessed with this ice sport.
He spent all his salary and all his rest time on skiing, and he went to the slopes every day with a hundred times the energy, and he could learn many movements very quickly.
The ski field opens at 9 a.m., and he can slide from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. as soon as he goes, and doesn't eat at noon.
At that time, he only had a monthly internship salary of 1200 yuan, a 3000 yuan season card for the ski field, he had to save three months' money, a 2500 snowboard, he saved a whole year.
In this way, he took a meager salary of 1200 per month to support his dreams, enjoying it and never slacking off.
Even if his lungs were broken, his hands were broken, his right leg ligaments were broken, even if he had concussions 3 times and 10 stitches in his lips, he did not waver in his determination to ski.
Friends call him "Ski Maniac"!
His fanatical love of skiing and hard work have made him one of the first-line skaters in China in only 5 years, and he has achieved remarkable results in large and small events.
In 2016, Zhang Jiahao traveled to New Zealand as the only Chinese player to compete, and won the 16th place in the New Zealand Intercontinental Cup.
This ranking was already the best in the country at that time, and that unprecedented sense of pride made him feel a sense of mission to represent the country.
Zhang Jiahao had a crazy idea - "I want to do a big thing, participate in the Winter Olympics in Beijing!" ”
In order to get a ticket to the Winter Olympics, you must earn a certain number of points in international competitions.
Zhang Jiahao started the journey of "Global SkiIng Campaign" in 2020.
It was a journey that was destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles, he pondered the technique alone, and faced the potential dangers in the training process alone.
Without coaching guidance, he repeatedly watched online videos, broke down every subtle movement, took his own baked bread, and asked the master everywhere.
Without the escort of a nutritionist, he will match his own diet, cautious and cautious, and dare not eat indiscriminately, for fear of which food is adulterated with stimulants.
Without the help of the team to take care of the chores of life, he set his own air tickets, applied for visas, and handled a series of cumbersome procedures by himself.
With no money to stay in a hotel, he spent the night at a friend's house.
Without professional equipment, he used the local rudimentary equipment to make it a simulation.
He is not afraid of hardship or difficulty, and what he is most afraid of is training injury.
Because once injured, he simply could not afford medical expenses, and more importantly, he was likely to miss the Winter Olympics.
Due to the pandemic, many competitions have been suspended.
Zhang Jiahao could only cross the entire Pacific Ocean to Chile to compete, and achieved a brilliant result of 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze.
He rushed to the Swiss points race again, unfortunately, because of a mistake he failed to reach the final, ending his Winter Olympic journey early.
A 17-year-old baker, with a lonely courage, embarked on his own Winter Olympic journey, fighting alone.
This courage, this love, can be sung and wept.
Along the way, he said he's been walking on the edge of a cliff for the past decade:
"You have to fight, and you have to know where the line is, just like picking Ganoderma lucidum on the edge of a cliff, and you can't fall down to pick lingzhi."
On December 16, 2021, 26-year-old Zhang Jiahao posted a statement announcing that he had failed to rush the Olympic Games.
Some people say that he is a fool's dream, but Zhang Jiahao has never regretted his original decision.
He wrote:
"I don't regret setting off, nor do I regret those daydreams I made.
I still believe that anything is possible, I will still challenge the seemingly impossible, and I will still give 100% for the 1% possibility even if the final result is 99% failure. ”
Although he was unable to stand on the Winter Olympics, he sat on the commentary seat to help the Winter Olympics;
Although he failed to win glory for the country, he handed over his regret-free answer sheet to life.
Fight for your love, take responsibility for your own destiny, not afraid of hardships and dangers, and bravely move forward.
I think this is what Zhang Jiahao's skiing career really brought us.
Who said that only successful people are heroes, dare to pursue their dreams, and are also great heroes!
Jia Zongyang, who missed the medal, is also such a hero.
Iron Man Jia Zongyang
After Qi Guangpu won the gold medal in the men's aerial skills of this year's freestyle skiing, one person clapped and congratulated him with tears in his eyes on the sidelines.
He is the "Elder of the Four Dynasties" and "Iron Man" - Jia Zongyang.
This is his 4th time in the Winter Olympics.
Along the way, he experienced hardships that ordinary people could not bear.
During the preparation for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2015, Jia Zongyang was accidentally injured, with a comminuted fracture of the tibia of his left leg, a ruptured fibula, and a ruptured medial ankle...
The doctor used 22 steel nails and 4 steel plates to reassemble his injured leg.
Such a serious injury is likely to mean the end of his career.
But the injury did not bring him down, Jia Zongyang gritted his teeth and fought with the injury for 3 years, and finally survived.
In 2018, he took 22 steel nails to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, finishing second with 128.05 points, only 0.46 points away from completing the championship with the same difficulty.
From the third place to the second place, Jia Zongyang is getting closer and closer to the gold medal.
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, if you can realize the Olympic dream of gold medals at your doorstep, how perfect it would be.
Unfortunately, this wish has also failed.
In the freestyle ski aerial skills mixed team final, Jia Zongyang made an unexpected mistake, and the Chinese team won the silver medal.
After the game, Jia Zongyang's eyes were red, and he choked and cried:
"I'm really sorry for living up to the trust of the team and our teammates, and to all the people who supported us with this project."
In the freestyle ski men's aerial skills final, Jia Zongyang accidentally fell and passed by the decisive round.
Too late to grieve for himself, when Qi Guangpu won the championship, Jia Zongyang applauded him with tears in his eyes.
A reporter asked: "Even if the person [winning the championship] is not you?" ”
Jia Zongyang nodded: "Yes, no problem, as long as it is China!" ”
This feeling of home and country makes people break through defenses in an instant.
Crushing fractures, 22 steel nails, four Olympic games, third runner-up, every time passing by the gold medal...
He is our real peace of mind,
But also our uncrowned king.
Countless netizens cheered for him:
The years can be destroyed, the dreams are not extinguished,
His persistence is moving;
His bravery is admirable.
Although there are regrets, but I have worked hard and struggled, and I have no regrets.
Although he did not win the championship, he is an example and hero in our hearts.
Although there are steel nails into the bone, there is a proud bone.
This fearless, all-out Olympic spirit,
More precious than gold medals,
It is worth learning and admiring from each and every one of us.
Competitive sports not only have human challenges to the limit, but also contain the sincere love and dreams of athletes.
Every player who strives for love and dreams should not be forgotten.
The injuries you have suffered are your medals.
People with dreams are always shining.
Everyone who bravely pursues his dreams is a hero.
In this life, people can find what they really love, and insist on doing it without hesitation, even if they can't achieve something in the end, it is not worth it.
As parents, hopefully we can all help our children find something they truly love and guide them to stick with it for a long time.
Finally, a song "Lone Brave" is given to everyone who has no remorse and perseverance for the sake of love and dreams.
Go for it, do you deserve this ragged cape
War War ah with the most humble dreams
To the whimpering and roaring of the night
Who says that standing in the light is a hero
Who says that the game is ordinary is not a hero
Love you alone in the dark alley
Love the way you don't kneel
Love you confronted despair
Won't cry
