preface
Being able to join the national team is one of the goals pursued by many athletes, entering the national team also means that it has stood in the ranks of the top athletes in the country, and in the future, it is very likely to represent the country to fight for the country and win glory for the motherland in international competitions, and in China's diving industry, there is such an athlete, she was once known as Guo Jingjing's successor At the age of 16, she won the all-around championship, and was once trained as a core member, but she was permanently expelled at the age of 17. And was led by team leader Zhou Jihong publicly said that the national team will not hire this person in the future, her name is Zhao Qinxin.
All-around champion Zhao Qinxin
Born in Shanghai in 1991, Zhao Qinxin, because of his poor physique since childhood, his parents sent him to swim, this is the Zhao Qinxin after encountering water showed her perfect swimming talent, the coach also thought that she was a rare good seedling, so from that time on, the coach began to let her learn to dive, and for diving, she did have a superhuman talent, after training for a few years, she successfully entered the Shanghai team with excellent results, although she is a city girl, but in addition to high talent, She is also very down-to-earth in training, because the progress is very fast.
In many domestic competitions have achieved good results, but also with excellent performance successfully entered the national team, in 2005, zhao Qinxin, who entered the national team, won the single 10-meter platform championship and the women's double 10-meter platform championship at the FINA Diving Grand Prix in Madrid, and then won another double championship in Spain, and won three gold medals in the first international competition, this proud result also made her jump into fame, and Zhao Qinxin was only 14 years old at the time. At this time, Zhao Qinxin was as old as Quan Hongchan, who had been enshrined in the First World War.
In 2007, 16-year-old Zhao Qinxin appeared, in the 11th City Games, she once again won the all-around championship with excellent results, to know that in the country to win the all-around championship is a very difficult thing, not only need talent and performance, but also need to pay a lot of efforts, Zhao Qinxin can win the all-around championship, but also let the coach agree that she is the successor of the future diving queen, from that time on, she became the key training object in the swimming team, especially the coach, It is even more partial to her, and at that time, Zhao Qinxin would have lazy and late performance in training.
Expelled from the national team
But because the coach likes her, in the end there is not much blame for her, and even many competitions are named to let her participate, for athletes, it is naturally a good thing to be able to participate in more competitions, not only because of bonuses, but also to accumulate experience through these competitions, and get further breakthroughs in the future, but what everyone did not expect is that Zhao Qinxin was abandoned after a year of favoritism, for two reasons, one is to develop too fast, the other is injury, because Zhao Qinxin is in puberty at this time Her stature and weight have increased, making it impossible for her to grasp difficult movements during training.
On the eve of the Beijing Olympic Games, Zhao Qinxin was accidentally injured in training, although after a period of recuperation and rehabilitation, but her weight increased significantly, coupled with Zhao Qinxin in training can not find the previous state in a short time, some difficult actions are also difficult to complete, at that time in order to help Zhao Qinxin, the coach deliberately took her to participate in some international competitions, arranged olympic champion Li Ting to partner with her, this is the moment Zhao Qinxin's own state is frequent, not to mention the gold medal, Even the top three are already very difficult, but development and injury are not the most important reasons that affect Zhao Qin's mental state.
On the one hand, it is because of the appearance value, because in the swimming team, there are many rules and regulations, one of which is not allowed to fall in love, why not? At that time, Zhao Qinxin's appearance was too high, so that her suitors were quite numerous, so that she was finally distracted, and her state became worse and worse, especially in October 2008, at the national championship, Zhao Qinxin jumped out of the penultimate result, which also made Zhou Jihong, who had always had high hopes for her, completely disappointed, and finally directly expelled her from the national team, returned to the provincial team, and even said: never call her into the national team again.
Switched careers to become a yoga instructor
Later back in the province of Zhao Qinxin, finally realized her mistake, in order to be able to return to the national team, she decided to stand from the beginning, this time Zhao Qinxin trained particularly hard, in addition to eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is used to exercise physical fitness and training diving, under this training, finally in 2009 she got the opportunity to participate in the National Games, and partner Wu Minxia won the championship in the double three-meter board final, this result is enough to prove that Zhao Qinxin's state has returned to the beginning, However, at that time, Zhou Jihong still had great concerns about Zhao Qinxin, and finally refused Zhao Qinxin to return to the national team.
Seeing that entering the national team has no hope, and finally discouraged Zhao Qinxin chose to retire, after retiring Zhao Xinxin turned into a yoga coach, now, often can see some of her recent situation on the Internet, outstanding appearance plus quite excellent figure, so that she still received the attention of many people after retiring, it is undeniable that in the field of diving, Zhao Qinxin's career has indeed achieved brilliant achievements, and at the beginning of a battle to become famous, once became the hope of many people, Even many people regard her as Guo Jingjing's successor.
However, what everyone did not expect was that her career was like a shooting star, flashing by, but denying that she was indeed a genius, she also had a spirit of not accepting defeat for life, experienced failure and experienced career setbacks, but she was still able to smile and face life with an optimistic attitude, which in itself required great courage and strength to support.
