Lately, everyone has been staying at home, and sports venues and gyms have been temporarily closed. The State General Administration of Sport actively advocates home science and fitness and promotes a healthy lifestyle. Many sports stars responded to the call to exercise at home and shoot videos with their mobile phones to share with netizens.
Gong Zhichao, the long-unrevealed badminton women's singles champion at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and a member of the Champion Committee of the Star Energy Foundation, also demonstrated her home exercise method.
In the video, Gong Zhichao is dressed in sports photos, first filling two large mineral water bottles with water, using them as dumbbells, and holding "dumbbells" to jump. Then Gong Zhichao took the badminton racket and performed a simple toss in the living room. Her children play in the living room.
Gong Zhichao, born on May 3, 1977 in Anhua, Hunan, was selected for the Hunan provincial team at the age of 12 and joined the national team in May 1996. Although Gong Zhichao is not tall, he has a changeable ball path, a steady playing style and a cool head. On September 22, 2000, Gong Zhichao defeated Denmark's Martin 2-0 in the women's singles final of badminton at the Sydney Olympic Games, winning the first Olympic women's singles gold medal in the history of Chinese badminton! However, a year after her athletic career reached its peak, Gong Zhichao officially retired from the national team and returned to Hunan.
From the 2001 Ninth Games to December 2005, Gong Zhichao served as the deputy director of the Hunan Provincial Badminton Center. She also served as the deputy director of the Hunan Sports Lottery Center, responsible for the publicity of sports lottery.
