Du Li is a famous female shooter and Olympic champion in the mainland, and at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Du Li, who won the first gold medal, looked back and smiled, which was recorded by the media camera.
Her smile of looking back also became one of the most classic shots of the Chinese delegation to the Athens Olympic Games, and this girl with a face full of acne is still difficult to hide her beautiful essence, and has since entered the hearts of the audience.
Today's Du Li married to love, and the four-year-old brother of the same door to love and keep, has spent more than ten years of spring and autumn, career success, love moist, after retiring from the youth of the girl, transformed into a young woman who still has charm.
The young girl who took the first gold
Du Li was born in 1982, a native of Zibo, Shandong Province, because of her tall and tall child, coupled with her family's wealth, her family supported Du Li to develop in the direction of sports that she loved and was good at.
After entering the local sports school at the age of 12, Du Li fell in love with shooting, but unfortunately, there was no professional shooting teacher and curriculum in the sports school at that time, and Du Li took shooting as an after-school hobby and practiced it herself.
When she was 14 years old, her family sent Du Li to the municipal sports school at her own expense, where there were professional shooting instructors, and Du Li was finally able to show her skills.
After studying professional shooting for two years, Du Li entered the Shandong Provincial Shooting Team for training, and at the age of 20, Du Li was selected for the national team.
In 2003, Du Li participated in the Shooting World Cup, winning the gold medal in the women's 10m air rifle competition with a score of 504.9 rings and breaking the world record.
At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Du Li played for the national team, winning the women's 10m air rifle again, and this gold medal was also China's first gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games.
Du Li has since become famous, and many Chinese people have met this Shandong girl with big eyes and high nose for the first time in this competition.
After Du Li won the gold, she called her mother in China at the first time, announced the good news to her, and kept talking about it, and the drug inspector frequently urged her, and she hung up reluctantly.
Holding the gold medal in his hand, the glory is added to the body, but the heart is full of dumplings wrapped by his mother.
Du Li's impressive point is not only her excellent shooting skills, but also her beautiful appearance has attracted much attention from the moment she entered the public eye.
Ability, beauty, and bright personality, Du Li has it, but Du Li still has a problem that has bothered her for a long time, that is, the acne on her face.
Not one or two, the acne on Du Li's face is not only numerous, large in area, but also red, faintly developing into acne, after the acne subsides, the skin is difficult to return to the previous smooth state, but left a large and small black acne pit acne marks.
Coupled with the fact that the sports world itself is a competition for strength, perhaps for hormonal reasons, Du Li in her early 20s is plagued by acne, but every time she appears, she is a generous plain face training state, with a sunny smile on her face, which makes people feel doubly good.
The acne on Du Li's face has also become one of the iconic features of this shooting girl.
After winning the first Olympic gold medal, Du Li continued to be in an online and invincible state in the following years, and in the shooting world at that time, the name Du Li represented the highest level of women's 10-meter air rifles.
Therefore, for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Du Limo is bound to win.
This year's Olympic Games is of great significance to Chinese athletes, for the first time held in China, the events on their own turf, people hope that their athletes will lead the way, the higher the expectations of the outside world, the greater the pressure on the athletes.
Especially Du li.
Shooting is the first event of the Olympic Games every year, and everyone naturally hopes that Du Li can recreate the glory of Athens, win the first gold again, and make a start.
Even Liu Peng, then director of the General Administration of Sports, couldn't help but sigh: "It is too cruel to put the expectations of 1.3 billion people on her." ”
Endocrine disorders produce acne, need to be slowly conditioned, Du Li is not short of money, lack of time, she is full of eyes on training, no time to take care of their skin conditions, acne repeatedly.
At the Beijing Olympics, people still saw the familiar girl with a acne-faced face.
This year's women's 10m air rifle competition may have been the highest ratings in history, and the 26-year-old Du Li played in the spotlight, but the first shot was out of order, and she finished fifth.
After the loss of the first gold, the once spirited girl showed a depressed and gloomy expression on her face.
Just when everyone was feeling sorry, Du Li actually counterattacked, breaking the Olympic record and winning the gold medal in the 50-meter sport rifle three-position competition on August 14.
In just a few days, she ran from the trough to the peak, and the arena erupted into deafening cheers, and Du Li cried with joy.
The first thing after winning the gold was still to call my mother.
"Mom! The gold inlaid jade is so beautiful! Du Li said happily.
At this Olympic Games, pang Wei, who also won the Olympic gold medal, won the men's 10-meter air pistol.
On December 31, 2008, Pang Wei disclosed his relationship with Du Li and showed love to Du Li.
Career love double harvest, for the two people have no regrets, the next step is to work together for life.
In November 2009, Du Li Pangwei's love was repaired to a positive result, entered the palace of marriage, became the first Olympic champion couple in the history of Chinese sports, and gave birth to love crystals a year later, is a healthy baby boy, little name Maomao.
Champions of various events, plus two Olympic gold medals, at this time, Du Li has undoubtedly achieved a career Grand Slam.
Some athletes will choose to retire at the peak of their careers, but this is obviously not a choice that Du Li will make, and she continues to compete on the field.
Unfortunately, there is no eternal victorious general on the field, and after the defeat in the London Olympics, Du Li applied to the International Shooting Federation for temporary retirement and returned to the family.
Shoot the couple's romantic love
Now Pang Wei's identity is Du Li's husband, and before this, Pang Wei's identity is Du Li's disciple.
Pang Wei was born in 1986 in Baoding, Hebei Province, and entered the national team at the age of 19. Won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.
At that time, the brothers and sisters in the team were all called Du Lijie, and at that time, Du Li already had the blessing of the Olympic champion status, but Du Li did not have any shelf, giving Pang Wei the feeling of being a more amiable big sister.
Although his sister became a wife, Pang Wei often could not change his habit of calling his sister after marriage.
From the moment Pang Wei entered the national team, Du Li noticed him and felt that he was quite sunny and really a child.
But Du Li is four years older than Pang, and looking at Pang Wei is naturally to look at the eyes of children, no different from other juniors, and he does not care much.
But before 2008, the two spent a long time together, playing together and training together, the quantitative change occurred a qualitative leap, and the feelings suddenly sublimated.
Once, Du Li was sick and did not come to training, Pang Wei could not see the common figure, his heart was empty, and he felt that he could not put it down.
When the two stayed together all day, it was fine, there was no such feeling, playing, eating, training, ah, are happy, at that time only felt that it was a normal reaction between friends, but I didn't see anyone, and my heart was very unhappy.
Both Du Li and Pang Wei gradually touched it, and an inexplicable feeling arose in their hearts.
But Pang Wei was not so optimistic, he only felt that there should be no result between the two, because Du Li was an Olympic champion at that time, although Du Li himself was very affinity, but in Pang Wei's heart, there was always a gap between Du Li and these unknown young generals.
And Pang Wei is also afraid that he will affect Du Li's play, they participate in the Olympic Games, representing not only the individual, but also the country, the athletes' belief is that the interests of the country are above all else.
At that time, the competition was imminent, and the two of them invariably chose to press the throbbing in their hearts and concentrate on preparing for the game.
That year's Beijing Olympic Games, Pang Wei won the championship, from a no-name to a new champion, after the joy, thinking of Du Li who played abnormally, Pang Wei's heart was full of worry, he did not dare to imagine what mood Du Li was in at this time, but he could perceive that Du Li's pressure was particularly large, and it was definitely very uncomfortable.
He wanted to comfort her, so he called Du Li.
On the afternoon of August 9, 2008, Du Li received a call from Pang Wei after winning the championship.
Pang Wei's voice on the phone sounded particularly anxious, and Du Li couldn't help but feel moved.
The two met, and as soon as Pang Wei saw Du Li, he rushed up and gave Du Li a big hug.
One hug for a lifetime.
Pang Wei's warm embrace, stuttering comfort, the coach's encouragement, and everyone's company have all gathered bit by bit to become the motivation for Du Li to fight again.
On August 14, 2008, Du Li returned to the Olympic arena.
"Now Du Li is in a very stable state, shooting ten rings in a row, let us wait quietly, the last shot of fifty meters and three postures." The narrator's voice also hinted at tension.
With a gunshot, the arena erupted in loud applause and cheers.
"10.5 rings, beautiful!"
"Du Li didn't give her opponent any chance in the three-by-twenty match this time, and the last three shots locked in the victory!"
Du Li called Pang Wei, and Pang Wei on the phone smiled happier than he had won the championship himself.
It was raining that day, Pang Wei rushed out of the stands after making a phone call, where there was rain, running to wherever there was rain, jumping all the way back in the water.
Recalling the scene at that time, the silly boy who was bouncing in the rain, Du Li couldn't help but show a sweet smile.
The two are in love, and someone told Du Li that you are also under a lot of pressure, after all, it is a sister-brother love.
Du Li raised her head and said what, it doesn't matter, how others love to say and how to say.
For this relationship, Pang Wei's attitude is also the same as Du Li's.
"I think Du li is the most important thing for me, as long as the two of us can be together, the rest I look at it more lightly."
When Pang Wei was awake, it was difficult for others to hear his singing voice, but on the wedding day, Pang Wei bouqueted flowers in one hand and a microphone in the other, and sang a song in a low voice, "You ask me how deeply I love you."
At the wedding, the host asked the couple if they would continue to be a shooter if they would have a child in the future.
Du Li covered her face and smiled shyly, "Let's wait until we have it." ”
The host's microphone turned and aimed at Pang Wei again: "Then let's ask Pang Wei okay?" ”
Pang Wei said four words in a daze: "I am trying." ”
Everyone in the room laughed and leaned forward and backward.
Before meeting Du Li, Pang Wei envisioned his life plan, which should be to get married after the age of 30 and have children, and after meeting Du Li, this plan was directly advanced by seven years.
When his peers may still be in school, 23-year-old Pang Wei just reached the legal age of marriage, and he can't wait to marry early and become a new father the next year.
After retiring from the army, she transformed into a mature goddess
In 2015, the 33-year-old Du Li returned to the field to win a silver and a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, and then announced her official retirement.
Du Li retreated behind the scenes and became the shooting coach of the national team, dedicated to cultivating more shooting talents.
On July 14, 2021, the list of Chinese sports delegations for the Tokyo Olympic Games was announced, and Du Li served as the shooting coach.
At the Tokyo Olympics in August, youngster Yang Qian won the first gold medal for China at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and on August 3, 21-year-old Zhang Changhong broke the world record and won the gold medal in the men's 50m rifle three-posture competition with a total score of 466.
Both young men were disciples of Du Li.
The young man's face was flushed with excitement, and the bulging pimples on his face were more conspicuous, and he hugged with coach Du Li and shared the joy of winning the championship.
"Du Li's apprentice even has acne like a master's legend." Some netizens joked.
His wife stepped back behind the scenes as a coach, and Pang Wei continued to compete as a competitor at the Tokyo Olympics, and won the gold medal in the men's 10m air pistol mixed team on July 27, which was also his second gold medal.
Du Li humorously said in the post-match interview that after Pang Wei won the gold a few days ago, the ratio of his own gold medal changed from 2 to 1 to 2 to 2, and now Zhang Changhong has won a gold medal, and now he is ahead again, and the apprentices are fighting for it!
Du Li and Pang Wei were praised as the "Divine Eagle Heroes" in China's shooting industry, with four gold, one silver and three bronze olympic games, which is really the most proud Olympic home in real history.
Although the two were ridiculed that the two were even similar to the acne in their youth, Du Li, who is now 39 years old, still has a charm, and the years have not added vicissitudes to her, but they have smoothed out the pimples on her face.
Returning to the family, Du Li faded the pressure of the field, enjoyed a slow-paced good life with peace of mind, unconsciously, the acne on the face faded, and the skin became smooth and white, because of long-term exercise, Du Li's figure was also maintained particularly well.
On the red carpet of the CCTV Sports Personality Awards Ceremony, people noticed the changes in Du Li, holding her husband's arm, Du Li, a silver off-the-shoulder low-cut long skirt, elegant and intellectual partial short hair, beauty is not lost to female stars in the entertainment industry.
She is no longer the green girl with the pimples she used to be, but has grown into a mature and elegant wife and hot mother.
Today, Du Li is 40 years old, and her son Mao Mao has grown into a 12-year-old teenager, with a smooth career and a harmonious family, and Du Li's life is undoubtedly enviable.
Looking back at Du Li's career, all the way ups and downs, it is the process of her overcoming and enriching herself, Du Li, who has never experienced the ordinary life of girls of the same age before retiring, only ate the first bowl of cold noodles in her life after retiring.
It is said that the best way to live in this life is to fight in the first half of life and enjoy the second half of life, and Du Li is still working hard when she enjoys her retirement career.
Du Li's career as a frontline player may have come to an end, but her identity as a wife, mother, and coach still has a long and long life path to go, and her figure has always been with the glory of sports.
