On June 5, China's Jinhua Wang Qiang announced her withdrawal from the grass season, and in response to the call of the state, she went to China for training and preparation for the Olympic Games. Subsequently, Zheng Saisai, Xu Yipan and others also decided to quit the grass season and returned to China to prepare for the Olympic Games. They have expressed their pride and sense of responsibility for fighting for their country through social media.
Yesterday, Wang Qiang was interviewed and said that there was a positive case on the flight back to China, so she was isolated in the hotel according to the regulations and made simple physical fitness and jet lag adjustments. When all goes well, we will head to Rizhao to meet the national team.
Not only that, Wang Qiang also said that in addition to the Olympic Games, she also had to play the National Games, because the National Games and the US Open at the same time, she chose to play the National Games, may withdraw from the US Open.
This remark caused great heated discussion. She gave up Wimbledon for the Olympics and the U.S. Open for the National Games. You know, the first Grand Slam quarterfinals of Wang Qiang's career the year before was the US Open. To withdraw from the US Open means a serious loss of points.
Calculate, Wang Qiang's approximate ranking: she now has 1675 points, deducting the total number of points from now to the US Open: 130 + 110 + 430 = 670. According to the current ranking, Wang Qiang ranks 83rd. And she confessed that she didn't know where the rankings would fall.
However, she has already thought about it and communicated with the coach Lao Pa. She said, "It's a big deal to start over from the ITF." Her heart was so big!
Coach Pa also looked very open and said: "You go to fight ITF, who can win you?" ”。 Although Wang Qiang played very badly in the first half of this year, wasting opportunities and points, and then quit Wimbledon and the US Open, her points have been left, but the Chinese girl who once ranked 12th in the world wants to start from the ITF, and she can quickly accumulate points to return to the WTA Tour as soon as possible.
The conflict between personal interests and national interests is difficult to balance and needs to be sacrificed. Quitting a major competition, the sacrifice is still big, but Wang Qiang said that she can only control what she can control. For the Olympics, she will give her all, "I am extremely proud to be able to do something for the country, and I feel very honored." That's what we've been thinking about since we were kids — that's the most important thing when the country needs you. ”
There are many fans who have suggested that playing the Olympic Games may not necessarily get medals, and it is not necessary to play the National Games, but for Wang Qiang, what the country needs her to do, she is obligated, it is a matter of pride, there is no need to worry about gains and losses. Therefore, like other Jinhua, she puts the interests of the country first, regardless of personal gains and losses, repays the country, and practices the "motherland in my heart" and the responsibility and responsibility as a Chinese athlete with practical actions!
