Young and famous, the amazing jump at the age of 16 jumped directly into the annals of world gymnastics history. The original gymnastics movement was named after her, and she was canonized at the age of 16, but chose to retire at the age of 18. It was rumored that he won the championship with illness, becoming the only high and low bar athlete in the history of Chinese gymnastics to win the championship with full scores. Who is she? Why would you choose to retreat at the peak of your own? Let's take a look!
In gymnastics, there is a movement called Lu Li's movement on the high and low bars, and there is a kind of jump on the balance beam called Lu Li jump! Lu Li has the reputation of "flying swallows on the bar", was selected for the national team at the age of 12, under the tutelage of Xiong Jingbin, and once served as a silly referee for the jump in the gymnastics high and low bar event of the Barcelona Olympic Games, thus getting full points to directly defend the championship. But it is such a talented girl, at the peak of her career, she was tortured by illness to choose retirement.
Whether the teenager becomes famous or the talent of heaven, it cannot be used to interpret Lu Li. From Zhou Xiaolin's discernment to the sympathy of Maxima to Xiong Jingbin's careful guidance and care, Lu Li has never lived up to all the efforts of the two coaches. At the age of 5, he went to the gymnastics coach Zhou Xiaolin. Afraid of affecting the study of Lu Dad does not want to let the child follow the learning of gymnastics, and Coach Zhou does not want to miss this good seedling of gymnastics practice, and in order not to let gymnastics affect learning, but also to take care of Lu Li in all aspects, Coach Zhou directly let her live in his own home. At the age of 12, she entered the national team with extraordinary talent, and she was the youngest in the team, but the smartest, and she was not afraid of the stage at all in her difficult skills and movements. Coupled with her own diligence, she soon became the youngest but most outstanding one in the team, and Coach Xiong then designed a set of extremely difficult coefficients for her - three D group connected movements. She began to train to sleep and forget to eat. Countless nights and days later, she practiced, and she completed this set of actions in front of the coach.
Unfortunately, God is jealous of the talent, she was found to have hereditary hepatitis B, facing this is nothing more than a devastating blow. Xiong Jingbin couldn't bear to see such a good seedling fall, and he took the initiative to take over the responsibility of training and taking care of her alone. In those days of the national team, only Coach Bear accompanied her, faced with a tricky infectious disease, she was required to wear gloves and masks in training, and the special treatment and the white eyes of others made young Lu Li often cry secretly! At this time, Xiong Jingbin was looking at the pain in his eyes and in his heart! Lu Li looked at this master who was silently paying and worrying for herself, and she plunged into the pace of training!
In 1992, Lu Li ushered in her highlight moment. She appeared as a substitute on the barcelona olympics list. At that year's Olympic Games, the top seeded player Shi Liying's old injury recurred, and the Chinese gymnastics team lost one after another, making the fate of defeat seem irrevocable. In desperation, the coaching team let Lu Li, who had not won an award in less than a year since entering the team, play. But no one expected that it was this little girl who had no name to turn things around with her own strength.
At that time, before Lu Li played, the American players had already jumped out of the high score of close to 9.987 points, and as soon as the score came out, the American team began to celebrate the championship in advance, and our side was helpless to let people see jokes. Lu Li won and lost in this jump! Lu Li won with her set of exclusive actions that practiced no less than tens of thousands of times, and the referee was even more stunned, and the action was already firmly on the ground before he could see clearly, and finally won the game with 6 full scores, and the whole audience boiled at this moment. Lu Li did it, defending the dignity of China, and the set of actions she used in this game was also written into the annals of the history of gymnastics in the world, called "Lu Li Action", this year she was only 16 years old.
Hidden behind the flowers and applause was that she was injured and could not be insisted on by ordinary people. At the age of 18, she chose to retire under the devouring of the disease. A generation of genius girls five do not let people sigh a heavenly jealous talent! After retiring from the army, she wanted to work as a coach, but at that time the gymnastics coach was saturated, she went to the United States to teach, and later met her current husband and married and had a son. Now it's hard work! Lu Li's Chinese gymnastics team has become a legend, and her legend will continue to be passed down! The athletes who have fought for the mainland, the people of the motherland will not forget them!
