Winning the Olympic Championship can be said to be the dream of countless athletes. Every athlete who wins gold at the Olympic Games will win a high degree of praise and praise. However, there are also some athletes, although they did not make it to the final championship podium. However, they will still rely on their own breakthrough and hard work spirit to win high praise. It can be said that their spirit is worth learning, and its significance is no less than winning a gold medal. Today, let's take stock of the Chinese athletes who did not climb the Olympic championship podium, but won high praise, and the spirit is worth learning!
Tokyo 2020 Olympic --- Su Bingtian
If you want to talk about the most popular Chinese athletes in the just-concluded Tokyo Olympic Games, it must be Su Bingtian. Although Su Bingtian did not appear on the championship podium at the Olympic Games, he did not receive a medal. However, su Bingtian's breakthrough in the Olympic Games is obvious to all. He was the first Chinese to reach the Olympic 100m final and the first yellow man to bring the Asian 100m record to nine seconds 90. But to say that its performance, the most important significance, that is, to show the world that sports have no racial distinctions, sports have no prejudice. Even the yellow race can still reach the world's top level in the field of 100-meter race. Therefore, although Su Bingtian is not a champion, his breakthrough spirit is still worth learning.
Wu Jingbiao, --- of the London 2012 Olympic Games
At the 2012 London Olympic Games, there was such a player, and his tears made countless people remember him deeply. And this player is China's weightlifter Wu Jingbiao. Unlike the tears of joy after winning the championship, Wu Jingbiao's tears are tears of sadness and tears of shame. The cause of the incident is that Wu Jingbiao, as a gold medallist, did not successfully lift in the last trial of the stand-up, facing the weight he lifted four times in the competition. It is precisely because of the failure of this trial that Wu Jingbiao missed the gold medal and was relegated to the second place. Later, in an interview with reporters, Wu Jingbiao completely collapsed. While shedding tears, he said the impressive words: I am ashamed of the motherland, I am ashamed of the Chinese weightlifting team, I am ashamed of everyone who cares about me. It can be said that Wu Jingbiao's tears, while making us look at the heartache, also let us see an athlete, a deep sense of national honor and responsibility. Although Wu Jingbiao lost in the arena, he was far better than many people in terms of the sense of honor and responsibility of the motherland. This point is worth learning from every Chinese.
Ye Jopo, --- at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer
Speaking of Ye Qiaobo, it can be said that he is a milestone figure in the history of the Chinese Winter Olympics. At the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, she achieved a breakthrough in the Winter Olympics for China, with zero medals. After the End of the Alberg Winter Olympics, Ye Qiaobo did not choose to retreat from the rapids, but chose to continue to insist on fighting until the next Olympic Games for the first Winter Olympic gold medal of the motherland. As everyone knows, long-term overload training has caused Ye Qiaobo to be injured all the time. But even with injuries, Ye Qiaobo still chose to insist on training and compete with injuries. 叶乔波曾经说过：国家需要我，我就要毫不犹豫地顶上，只要能代表国家站在冬奥会赛场上，我就觉得特别荣耀和自豪，所以我那时就像战场上的一名勇士，为了祖国的荣誉而努力，我责无旁贷。 从这句话中，足以看出叶乔波的祖国荣誉感与责任感。 后来，在1994年的勒哈默尔冬奥会上，叶乔波又一次登上了领奖台，获得的是铜牌。 尽管没有能够为祖国实现金牌零突破，但是这枚铜牌的背后，却有着深刻意义。 因为在赛后的手术中，医生惊讶地发现她左膝盖的两侧韧带和髌骨早已断裂，腔内有8块游离的碎骨，骨骼的相交处呈锯齿状。 而这也导致了叶乔波，在此后的很长一段时间，都需要在轮椅上度过。 可以说，叶乔波是用着一只腿，为祖国拼下的宝贵奖牌。 这背后的心酸与痛苦，我们根本体会不到。 尽管没有为祖国拿到金牌，但是她依然在我们心中是值得赞美的。 对于叶乔波的这种永不言败、永不放弃的精神，我们都是应该学习的。
In fact, there are many athletes like Su Bingtian, Wu Jingbiao, and Ye Qiaobo. Although they are not champions, their spirit is still worth learning. We should not judge heroes by success or failure, we should respect every athlete who has worked hard.
