When he learned that his daughter, Sister Ceyangshi, was expected to be re-elected as an Olympic champion, his father, Gongbao Rabdan, was grazing in the grasslands. On the other end of the phone, when his wife Sonnenje told him the good news, he put down the hay in his hand and was stunned for a long time. On the vast and boundless grassland, the public security labdan quietly shed tears.

On that day, the one who shed tears for Sister Qieyangshi was also her sister Yang Tsoga. Yang Tsogga understood her sister's grievances, but she could only cry secretly alone. After crying, she comforted herself, dried her tears, and sent a happy circle of friends: "The old sister is good..."

Sister Cheyangshi won the bronze medal in the women's 20 km race walk at the 2012 London Olympics, and was later replaced as a silver medal, which was not received until before the Spring Festival this year, and was signed by her sister Yang Tsoga. For this Olympic gold medal, Sister Cheyangshi may also need to wait for a long time.

The london Olympic silver medal was replaced by another gold medal

On the evening of March 21, the IAAF Integrity Committee announced that Russian women's race walker Rushmanova had been banned for two years for doping violations, canceling all of her results from February 18, 2012 to January 3, 2014, including the 2012 London Olympics.

This means that China's Cheyang Shijie will make up for the gold medal at the London Olympics. After learning this news, Sister Cheyangshi, who was training in Italy, sent a WeChat message to her sister Yang Tsoga. Sister CheyangShi said: "I feel more sad and don't want to talk about it." ”

At 7 o'clock in the morning the next day, Yang Tsojia saw the link that her sister transferred to her when she got up, she didn't dare to believe it, and immediately searched the Internet again, and after seeing the full screen report, she panicked and ran to the next room, "Mom, my sister has become an Olympic champion!" ”

Mother Sonanger seemed to understand, and it seemed that she did not understand. Yang Tsojia pointed to the silver medal in the cabinet and explained: "This silver medal is going to become a gold medal." ”

Before the Spring Festival this year, the silver medal of the 2012 London Olympic Games that Sister CheyangShi made up had just been mailed home. Who would have guessed that after the original bronze medal became a silver medal, it would become a gold medal again.

According to the official website of the State General Administration of Sport, Qieyang Shijie is expected to become the first Chinese Tibetan athlete to win an Olympic gold medal.

Back in time to the 2012 London Olympics, when 22-year-old Chinese player QieYangshi made her debut at the Olympics and reached the women's 20km race walk final.

This is the most competitive competition she has fought, "it hurts after walking two knees". In this competition, Cheyang Shijie, who had only been practicing race walking for 4 years, broke the Asian record with a time of 1 hour, 25 minutes and 16 seconds, ranked third, and won the bronze medal.

Cheyangshi's Olympic bronze medal was later replaced as a silver medal, due to the fact that in 2015, the London Olympic women's 20 km race walk runner-up Kaniskina was found to be a doping violation, the silver medal was cancelled, and Cheyangshi sister was promoted to runner-up.

Sister Qieyangshi's compensated Olympic silver medal was not mailed to her sister's home in Haiyan County until before the Spring Festival this year. 1:25:16, 11.08.2012, the medal is engraved with the results and dates of the London Olympic Games.

On March 21, that year's Olympic champion Rushmanova was cancelled for doping violations, which means that Cheyangshi is expected to replace the gold medal in the women's 20 km race walk at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

In the face of this good news, Sister Cheyangshi said: "Although many things have passed, I have a medal to prove myself. ”

In addition to being happy, Sister Qieyang Shi also felt sad in her heart: "I have not felt the appearance of a champion, I have not won the aura of an Olympic champion, although the aura is temporary, but the aura of that moment I want to have." ”

Looking back at Cheyangshi's race walking career, she played three Games, but the London Olympics was the only time she stood on the Olympic podium, and she should have stood in a higher position to enjoy congratulations and cheers.

The shepherd girls were selected for the provincial race walking team

In November 1990, Sister Qieyang Shi was born into an ordinary herdsman family in Gahai Village, Ganzihe Township, Haiyan County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province.

When she was a child, like many herdsmen's children, she herded sheep and sang in the highland grassland, and when she was tired, her father carried her on her back, rested enough, and then continued to run.

Grassland life has allowed Sister Cheyang Shi to cultivate strong physical fitness and cardiorespiratory function since childhood. Father Gongbao Rabdan said that her daughter has a talent for sports and learned to ride a horse at the age of 9.

In 2004, Haibei Prefecture hosted the 4th Middle School Students' Games, and Sister Qieyang Shi won the second place in the women's long-distance running competition. After the games, Zhou Xiaoyun, who was then the coach of the Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Children's Amateur Sports School, found the champion and runner-up in the long-distance running competition and asked them if they would like to go to the sports school to practice sports.

Zhou Xiaoyun still remembers the different answers of the two girls. The little girl who won the first place is also in good physical condition, but her parents disagree, believing that after a few years of training in sports school, she will still return to the grassland, "her parents want her to stay in the pastoral area and get married early." Zhou Xiaoyun understood that this was the idea of most herders at that time, and for herders living in the grasslands, it was too far away to compete for gold and silver in the competitive sports arena.

Zhou Xiaoyun asked Sister Qieyang Shi if she would like to go, "willing." She loves to run and jump, and she has endless energy. Sister Qieyangshi's parents thought that the conditions at home were not good, and it was okay to practice sports.

At that time, the amateur sports school was in poor condition, there was no training ground, and students had to run, press their legs and train on the road.

Sister Cheyang Shi remembers that the first time she watched the Olympic Games on TV was in 2008, when she had been recommended by Zhou Xiaoyun to the Qinghai Provincial Sports School.

In April 2008, a large team of sports workers from Qinghai Province went to the sports school to select the race walking team members, and the coach saw that Sister Qieyang Shi was standing next to her, so he asked her to accompany the team members to "walk two laps".

After the audition, the coach told her "you were chosen too."

In 14 years, the race walk "walked" 3 times around the earth's equator

After Sister CheyangShi learned that she was expected to make up for the Olympic gold medal, she and her family video, should be happy, but everyone wanted to stop talking.

In the video, Sister Cheyang Shi took the lead in breaking the silence. She quipped to her sister Yang Tsoga: "You have suddenly become the sister of the Olympic champion"; the brother-in-law who sat next to her took over the conversation and mobilized the atmosphere, "Then am I not the brother-in-law of the Olympic champion now?" Everyone comforted their mothers again, "You are now the mother of the Olympic champion, be happy." Everyone laughed in the joke.

His father, who was grazing in the pasture, later called Yang Tsoga and asked for details of the reasons for the replacement of the championship.

"The previous champion found out the doping, and the sister made up for it." The father at the other end sighed, "The hard work has finally paid off." Yang Tsogga trembled when he heard his father's voice, that is, in order not to let his daughter hear the crying voice, and forced to endure the sad voice.

Until now, the 60-year-old Gongbao Labudan is still grazing in the grasslands, and his mother helps Yang Tsoga take care of the children in Haiyan County. Every June, mother Sonanger also returns to the grasslands, and they herd more than 150 cattle and sheep to a higher summer pasture, set up a tent, and settle here for more than a month.

In order to contact his daughter, public pao Rabdan learned to use WeChat, but there is no mobile phone signal on the grassland, and he can only send a message to his daughter while grazing in the mountains. In his opinion, "grazing in the grassland is very hard, but compared with being a herder, practicing sports is more difficult."

Sister Qieyang Shi has calculated an account for herself, if you calculate it according to 30 kilometers a day, 300 days is 9,000 kilometers, and you have been racing for 14 years, which is 126,000 kilometers. The Earth's equator is about 40,000 kilometers long, and according to this calculation, she has walked 3 times around the Earth's equator in 14 years. She said that the cold also has to go, the heat has to go, to walk every day, every day, this is the daily routine of race walking.

More than 100,000 kilometers of racing walking, Sister Qieyangshi has been intertwined with honor, depression, injury, rehabilitation, and the helplessness of training near home again and again but not being able to go home to visit her family.

In Yang Tsogga's impression, her sister has not been at home for a long time for the New Year, she explained: "I don't remember how long it has been when I say 'long time'. ”

After the Tokyo Olympics and the Shaanxi National Games last year, Sister Qieyang Shi returned to her hometown to rest, she returned to the pasture, and then she grazed with her father, collected cow dung, and dried cow dung.

"If I hadn't met the race walk, I might have lived in a pastoral area now," sports changed Sister Cheyangshi.

"I want to break the fate of 'runners-up'"

In Tibetan, Sister Cheyangshi's name represents luck, and her sports career seems to have been smooth sailing.

In 2006, he entered the sports school practice middle and long distance running, in 2008 he was selected into the professional race walking team, in 2010 he was selected for the national training team, in 2011 he participated in the World Championships for the first time and won the third place, in 2012 he participated in the Olympic Games for the first time and successfully stood on the podium...

But in the cruel arena, the Tibetan girl's race walking story is finally mixed with some regrets.

In 2017, at the Tianjin National Games, she was runner-up. In 2018, at the Jakarta Asian Games, she finished runners-up. In 2019, at the World Championships in Athletics, she finished second. In 2021, the Shaanxi National Games, she won the runner-up.

At the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, Sister Cheyangshi was overtaken by Yang Jiayu in the last moment with a lead - although the two had a time of 1 hour, 24 minutes and 38 seconds, but due to the back position, Sister Cheyangshi once again lost the gold medal.

After that game, Sister Cheyangshi was lying on the railing crying uncontrollably.

In 2021, the shaanxi national games women's 20 km race walk final, is the runner-up again. After the game, Sister CheyangShi was interviewed by the media, and before she could finish speaking, the tears that she did not hold back came out of her eyes. "I've been going on for so many years and I always failed to win a gold medal, and a lot of people say it might be my destiny, but I don't believe it, I want to break that fate." Sister Cheyangshi's tearful narration is touching.

Her value has long surpassed the gold medal weight

National championships, national championships, World Cup single-stop competitions, CheyangShi sister has won many championships, but every time there is an important competition with higher gold content, she always passes by the highest podium. She herself said: "I always seem to be a little bit of luck." ”

Sister Cheyangshi needs a gold medal to prove herself. For a while, she didn't even want to compete, "because as soon as she entered the competition, she wondered if she would be second place again." During the game, I thought as I walked, if I don't take the third place, the third place is not so regretful, right? ”

The reporter asked her, what is "race walking"? She replied that it was beautiful. The reporter asked again, what is the "game"? She replied, it was regret.

Now, 10 years after the London Olympics, at an age when she already wants to look down on everything, the news that Cheyang Shijie will make up for the Olympic gold medal has swept the screen.

"You can be discouraged on the surface, but you must secretly encourage yourself inside." This is a microblog that Sister Qieyang Shi has liked very early, just like her regrets in the face of life, although she is unwilling, she is still working hard.

The value of Sister CheyangShi for China's race walk has long exceeded the weight of a medal - she is the first Tibetan athlete in the history of Chinese sports to enter the Olympic Games, the first Tibetan athlete to stand on the Olympic podium, and the first Tibetan athlete to participate in the Olympic Games three times.
