When it comes to the history of the development of the Olympic Games in our country, there have been hardships, efforts and regrets along the way, but more is still a harvest. When it comes to regrets, some athletes' career encounters are lamentable, such as exhausting all the tickets that can not get the ticket to the competition, and then paying all the money can not get good results, and more are world champions at the peak, and after retiring, they are down to run around for survival. And one of the athletes, when winning the Olympic gold medal, there was no applause, flowers and national flag, the coaching staff left the field early, and finally she could only awkwardly wave her hands and tears around the field to celebrate, this person is Wang Liping, who won the women's 20 km gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the women's 20 km event was an extremely unpopular existence, and few people paid attention to this event, especially in China, and combined with the results of previous competitions, no one would believe that we could win gold medals in this event. Before the game, the coaching team still made corresponding arrangements for the game, Liu Hongyu, who had more outstanding results, was still the main force of the game, and Wang Liping was arranged by the coach to cooperate with Liu Hongyu during the game. After the start of the game, Liu Hongyu failed to live up to the expectations of the coaching team, and was directly sent off after three consecutive red cards, and after Liu Hongyu was out, the coaching team seemed to forget that there was another athlete participating in the game, they packed up their things and left the field early, leaving Wang Liping alone on the track. And Wang Liping, who is still concentrating on the game, may not have thought of winning the championship herself, nor did she expect that her coaches and teammates abandoned themselves and chose to leave the game early.
After the first to rush through the match point, Wang Liping looked at the audience with expectant eyes, hoping to see her coaches, teammates and the red flag in the full audience, but unfortunately, Wang Liping did not see all this after watching one lap after another. In the end, she had no choice but to wave her hands and tearfully complete the round-around celebration, and then the coaching team that learned the news returned to the field, but Wang Liping's round-the-field celebration has been completed, which may also be the most unique existence in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games, and it is also the biggest regret of Wang Liping's career. It can be said that Wang Liping's coaching staff is extremely irresponsible, even if she feels that Wang Liping does not have any hope of winning the championship, but her own athletes are still participating in the competition, as the backing of the athletes' insistence, they chose to leave the field early at a critical moment, so that our Olympic champions completed an embarrassing round-the-field celebration in front of the world, of course, the coaching team after the game was also punished as it should be.
Nowadays, more and more young figures have joined in the race walking project, and the training system and support support of athletes are incomparable in the past, and events like Wang Liping will not happen again now.
