Gymnastics is a very elegant sport, athletes rely on the combination of technology and speed, show their elegant body to the audience, through difficult movements to obtain the referee's score.
On the world stage, Korean gymnasts are not the top, but they are also a beautiful landscape.
In South Korea, there is such an athlete, a collection of thousands of pampered in one, she is the national sister, but also one of the eight beauties of the London Olympic Games, she is Sun Yanzai.
Sun Yan was born on May 28, 1994 in Seoul, South Korea.
In Seoul, South Korea, a place with little land, Sun Yanzai's mother also hopes that her daughter can have a foothold and survive in this city.
Therefore, when she was very young, Sun Yanzai's mother sent her to dance school to learn various arts and dances.
However, after Sun Yan was exposed to rhythmic gymnastics, ballet and modern dance, she had a special love for rhythmic gymnastics.
The reason why Sun Yan has a special love for rhythmic gymnastics is because when she was very young, her parents often watched the Olympic rhythmic gymnastics competition at home, so she liked this elegant sport.
In order to fulfill her daughter's wishes, when she was 6 years old, Sun Yanzai's parents sent her to Sejong Elementary School, a famous korean gymnastics girls' school, to study.
Although she successfully entered a famous gymnastics school, Sun Yan's development path was not so smooth.
Due to the clouds of masters in the school, there are many talented players than Sun Yan, so Sun Yan is talented in the gymnastics school and does not have too prominent performance.
Not only that, in the Korean gymnastics world, everyone still attaches great importance to the family origin of athletes, and Sun Yan's parents are ordinary office workers, and there are no gymnasts among her relatives, for her mediocre birth, she has not been favored.
However, this did not stop Sun Yeon's development, and in the sixth grade, her mother, Yoon Hyun Sook, asked her daughter which path she planned to take in the future.
The daughter replied bluntly:
"Mom, I want to be a professional gymnast!"
It was this categorical answer that laid the foundation for Sun Yan's future development on the road of gymnastics.
Although Sun Yan's performance in the cultural class was much better than that of gymnastics at that time, after hearing the answer given by her daughter, her mother, Yoon Hyun Sook, decided to fully support her daughter's development.
In order to allow her daughter to concentrate on the development of gymnastics, her mother, Yoon Hyun-sook, simply quit her job and accompanied Sun Yan's side full-time to do her logistical support work.
Mother Yoon Hyun Sook can be said to have given everything for her daughter, and the gymnastics suit that Sun Yan wore when she participated in the competition was made by her mother Yin Hyun Sook herself, and she said that she could only rest assured when she watched her daughter wear the clothes she made and complete every action well in the arena fool.
It is precisely because of her mother's strict requirements that Sun Yan has a foothold in the talented Korean gymnastics team.
When Sun Yan traveled around the world to train, her mother also required her to be proficient in the local language.
Since 2010, Sun Yan has spent almost most of her time training with the Russian team in Moscow, when the Russian gymnastics team was an international first-class gymnastics team, so Sun Yan's technical level has also been greatly improved.
In 2010, Sun Yan won the bronze medal at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, and then finished fourth in the artistic all-around at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
In the Asian sports world, Sun Yan may not be the best in terms of skill, but her popularity is definitely the highest, and she has gained a large number of fans in the process of the game.
In 2017, due to the influence of age, Sun Yan finally chose to retire, and the audience friends expressed regret that it would be difficult to see this Korean goddess with wisdom and strength on the field in the future.
Sun Yan has gained a large number of fans in her devilish figure and angelic face, and one of the issues that these fans are very concerned about is her personal emotional life. Although at the Incheon Asian Games, Sun Yan once fell in love with a Chinese swimmer at first sight, the two did not end up together.
After retiring, Sun Yan briefly entered the entertainment industry, but in the end she found that her personality was not suitable for the development of the entertainment industry, so she decided to continue to devote the rest of her time to gymnastics education and train more outstanding athletes for the Korean gymnastics industry.
Although Sun Yan has been retired for a long time, the wonderful performance she once left for the people of the world and the people of Chinese in the gymnastics arena still remains in people's hearts.
Let us wish Sun Yeon, once the Korean gymnastics goddess, that she can continue to make more contributions to the gymnastics cause in the future and harvest a complete love!
