Gymnastics Queen Cheng Fei: Broke the world record at the age of 17, retired due to injury at the age of 24, and was ridiculed by her mentor after being blessed

In 2005, at the 38th World Gymnastics World Championships in Melbourne, a 17-year-old girl with a beautiful figure tied to a ball head broke the world record. She flipped the body 180° with her back hand on the back of the shaft and the front flip body of the straight body 540°, which caused a sensation in the whole world.

This gymnastics is extremely difficult, definitely "hellish", and this is the first time someone has completed it. Later, the international sports world named this action after the girl. This girl is The Chinese gymnastics queen Cheng Fei, this action is "Cheng Fei jump".

Although Cheng Fei gained such a shining aura on the stage, she knew in her heart that this was the achievement of her years of hardship and dedication, and all this was an achievement she had exchanged through unremitting efforts.

Cheng Fei was born on May 29, 1985, to an ordinary family in Hubei Province, his father was a martial arts athlete, but because his performance was not particularly outstanding, it was difficult for him to earn money to maintain the family's livelihood.

In order to earn more money to solve life problems, Cheng Fei's father gave up being an athlete and came to a factory to work as a dispatcher, with a salary of 500 yuan a month. Although the family did not live a life of rich clothes and food, they lived a very happy life.

In fact, as long as you live a happy life, it is worth the hard work. But if someone in this ordinary family gets sick, the quality of life of the family is reduced. Cheng Fei has been weak and sick since she was a child, which makes Cheng Fei's parents very worried.

For health reasons, Cheng Fei's father sent her to the sports school in order to make her practice better. At that time, the table tennis industry ushered in a recovery, and her father hoped that she could become a ping pong girl praised by everyone like Deng Yaping.

Therefore, Cheng Fei, who entered the sports school, went to practice table tennis. Although playing table tennis can exercise, her physical condition is still the same as before, and she seems to have no talent for playing table tennis, and her performance is mediocre, which can make her father look anxious.

One day, Cheng Fei's father received a phone call. And this phone call made Cheng Fei's life take a big turn. There was good news on the phone, it turned out to be a call from Coach Ke Jin, and she patiently told Cheng Fei's father about Cheng Fei's situation.

Ke Jin believes that Cheng Fei is a good seedling for practicing gymnastics, especially the shape of her body. If you can practice gymnastics diligently, Cheng Fei will definitely be able to achieve something. Cheng Fei's father was overjoyed when he heard it, and he did not hesitate and immediately agreed to send Cheng Fei to practice gymnastics.

Although Cheng Fei is a good seedling for practicing gymnastics, the training intensity of practicing gymnastics is very large and the requirements are very strict. If you want to practice gymnastics well, every movement must be perfect, and it is even more difficult to reach the level of pure fire.

When getting started, the first thing Cheng Fei had to overcome was the problem of walking posture. Cheng Fei walks outward eight, which is a taboo thing to practice gymnastics, and if you want to practice gymnastics well, you must first solve the problem of walking posture.

So the first thing Cheng Fei did when she started was to constantly correct her walking posture. In this process, she needs to spend a lot of energy and time. In order to improve the problem of walking posture, Cheng Fei, like an ancient woman, wrapped her feet with a cloth.

The cloth was wrapped around her feet, but it did not work very well, and Cheng Fei's feet were still facing outward. Although she did not achieve the results she wanted, she could still calm down and patiently change.

At the same time, practicing gymnastics also costs a certain amount of money. If you want to be able to do something in gymnastics, you must also practice hard in the time outside of school, so you must buy certain equipment at home and provide it for Cheng Fei to use.

However, the price of these equipment is relatively expensive, Cheng Fei's father is just an ordinary worker, can not take so much money to buy equipment, in order not to let his daughter fall behind, he racked his brains to design exercise equipment for his daughter.

Cheng Fei's father first drew two lines on the ground with chalk, which were used as balance beams for his daughter to practice. Then, he found some wooden sticks to use as single and double rods for Cheng Fei, and the tableware at home was also used as tools for Cheng Fei.

In order to let her daughter make progress in gymnastics, Cheng Fei's father got up every day before dawn to be her alarm clock, and sometimes used her as a companion. Accompanied by her father, Cheng Fei maintained high-intensity training for ten years and left many injuries on her body.

Even so, Cheng Fei must continue to insist on training. Sometimes, Cheng Fei would cry bitterly, and one day she really couldn't stand it and secretly ran home to rest. When the mother saw her daughter's appearance, she felt very distressed.

After all, Cheng Fei at that time was still very young, and children of the same age grew up under the care of their parents, and Cheng Fei was bitter and tired every day. While other children were still playing, Cheng Fei had to endure high-intensity training every day, which was really pitiful.

As parents, seeing their children suffering, their hearts hurt even more, but when they think of Cheng Fei's future, they will immediately make up their minds. So when he saw Cheng Fei sneaking back from inside the school, Cheng Fei's father was furious.

Therefore, he immediately sent Cheng Fei back to the school, afraid of delaying her every second. When Cheng Fei was training, she wanted to give up the idea of practicing gymnastics many times. Sometimes she finishes training while crying, but crying doesn't change anything.

If she does not do well, Cheng Fei still has to face her father's reprimand and punishment, but her efforts are worth it. After a long period of high-intensity training, Cheng Fei has gained a lot of things from gymnastics training, and she has gradually liked gymnastics.

Seeing that his daughter has grown so much, Cheng Fei's father's heart is very happy. In order to let his daughter have greater progress, his father took Cheng Fei to Wuhan Sports School. There is more formal training here, which can allow Cheng Fei to further grow.

However, although this school is very good, the fees are also very expensive. For a few months of each semester, it costs 1,000 yuan in tuition. Cheng Fei's family is very ordinary, and it is impossible to afford such a high tuition fee.

So Cheng Fei's father had to let her undergo a period of trial training in the No. 5 Sports Academy. After the trial, he was ready to take his daughter back to her original place and continue her training.

What I didn't expect was that because she had good talent and very solid basic skills, Cheng Fei performed very well in the trial training, and she could complete every action well in the process of practical training, and also got a high score.

Zhao Hanhua, who was watching from the sidelines, was even more impressed, and he immediately went to check Cheng Fei's information. After seeing the information, he was even more surprised, this child has only been training for three years, and he has behaved so perfectly, which is difficult for children of the same age to do.

Seeing such a good seedling, Zhao Hanhua decided to cultivate her well. So he immediately asked the leader for instructions, hoping to let Cheng Fei enter the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education, because he wanted to keep such a good seedling.

After the leader learned about the situation, he immediately agreed, and also exempted Cheng Fei from various expenses, reducing the burden on Cheng Fei's family. In this way, Cheng Fei smoothly became the youngest student in this school.

Although Cheng Fei is extremely talented and has good basic skills, this school is full of talents, and there are many brothers and sisters who are stronger than her. Therefore, at the beginning, Cheng Fei's strength was still lagging behind.

However, Cheng Fei still cherishes the opportunity to study this time, so every day she will conscientiously complete every action and insist on doing a good job in every training. Through unremitting efforts, her progress was rapid, and she gradually caught up with her brothers and sisters.

Later, Cheng Fei entered the Hubei Provincial Team and trained for twenty-four months. Officially entered the national team at the age of 13, in this process, Cheng Fei is very unremarkable, but she has been working hard and eventually accumulated a lot of hair.

In 2003, Cheng Fei successfully won the vaulting championship in the Japanese Junior Championships, and then she won two gold medals at the Asian Championships. In 2004, Cheng Fei substituted injured athletes to participate in the Athens Olympic Games and won the fourth place.

At that time, Cheng Fei was only 16 years old, because she had no experience in participating in the world competition such as the Olympic Games, so Cheng Fei played very steadily in this competition. But for the first time in the Olympic Games, you can get this result, which is not bad.

Although in the eyes of others, this is quite a good result. But Cheng Fei is still dissatisfied, she believes that only by winning the championship is the best result. So Cheng Fei packed up her mood and continued to return to the national team for training.

What Cheng Fei did not expect was that when she returned, the coach suggested that she practice vaulting instead, which surprised Cheng Fei because vaulting was not her strong point. However, she thinks the coach must have a point in saying this.

So, in 2005, at the Melbourne Gymnastics World Championships, Cheng Fei's sensational jump also had China's first world championship gold medal in vaulting, and her jumping action was named "Cheng Fei Jump" by the International Sports Federation.

In 2006, Cheng Fei won another gold medal in the Gymnastics World Cup in China and won the vaulting championship at the 39th World Gymnastics Championships. In 2007, she won the vaulting horse championship at the 40th Gymnastics World Championships, achieving three consecutive championships.

In 2008, Cheng Fei participated in her dream beijing Olympic Games. Unfortunately, her mistakes in vaulting eventually led to a poor record, which became the biggest regret of her career.

Although Cheng Fei felt very sad, she regained her mood and continued to train and compete. What makes people sigh is that before the 2012 London Olympic Games, Cheng Fei was injured due to training, and Cheng Fei did not have a chance with the London Olympic Games. In June 2012, she announced her retirement.

Although retired, Cheng Fei still chose the career he loved. She returned to her alma mater, Wuhan Institute of Physical Education, as a coach, and she shined in the coaching position, which can also be regarded as repaying the help of her alma mater that year.

After retiring as a coach, Cheng Fei began to condition her body through drugs, which resulted in hormone imbalances in the body. At the same time, she still maintains the same amount of food as before she retired, but after retiring, she did not carry out high-intensity training.

Therefore, Cheng Fei gradually gained weight and fortune, and even she was so fat that she could not recognize her. If you don't look closely, no one may remember that this is the sports girl who once stood on the field and had a beautiful posture.

In an interview program by Lu Yu, Cheng Fei and his mentor Lu Shan were interviewed. Lu Shan said that Cheng Fei is 27 years old, and children in this age group generally need to be restrained in their diet. Cheng Fei immediately said that he was swimming.

Then Lu Shan even teased: "I'm afraid that if you go down, the water in the pool will overflow." When the people present heard this, they all laughed. It can be seen from this that the relationship between Lu Shan and Cheng Fei's master and apprentice is still very good.

In the eyes of his mentors Lu Shan and Lu Yu, Cheng Fei has always been a very well-behaved child. She is a person who is not good at expressing emotions, and whatever emotions she has, she will hold them in her heart and then slowly digest them.

Cheng Fei also has no friends around her, so she rarely talks to the people around her. In fact, this is also related to her growth environment, after all, Cheng Fei has been training hard for so many years, and every minute and every second of her is spent on training.

When Cheng Fei encountered difficulties, she was always thinking about what to do in order to show more perfectly; there was something, she also silently gritted her teeth and insisted on getting through the difficulties. She didn't play with her friends and had little social interaction, so she had very few friends.

Years of habits have also created Cheng Fei's current personality. Although Cheng Fei is 27 years old, she has not yet had a boyfriend, of course, this is also related to her profession.

When he was in the national team, the rules could not fall in love, and Cheng Fei had always abided by the rules. After retiring from the army, Cheng Fei is still single. Lu Shan once said to Cheng Fei that he could fall in love, and maybe if he had a boyfriend, he could release his state of mind.

Cheng Fei's strict father also became much kinder after she retired from the army. He wrote a letter to Cheng Fei, in which he said that he was very happy that Cheng Fei could become a teacher, and he also hoped that Cheng Fei could do everything down-to-earth.

At the end of the letter, Cheng Fei's father was even more generous and blunt, hoping that Cheng Fei could find a good son-in-law and make Cheng Fei's life happier. Although it was an indirect urging for marriage, Cheng Fei was still moved to tears after seeing the letter.

Now that Cheng Fei is close to 34 years old, she really should have a relationship. Especially for girls with a personality like her, it is even more important to talk about a relationship to enhance their own mentality. For Cheng Fei, falling in love is also a practice of life.

Cheng Fei currently has no experience in love, so I hope she can accumulate a little experience in love and then enter the marriage. Of course, it would be better if a relationship could go into marriage. For her, the belated love may be happier.

Although there is no love at present, Cheng Fei is very happy. Because she is engaged in the cause she loves, she will personally demonstrate the standard movements to her classmates every day, and the classmates will watch intently.

Watching the former vaulting champions show their style, I am afraid of missing every detail. In the process of Cheng Fei's demonstration of the action, everyone vaguely saw the gymnastics queen with a pill head and wearing red gymnastics.
