The slender Xu Jiamin hung two Olympic bronze medals around his neck — the respect that his disciples had given after the award. In order to prepare for the Olympic Games, Xu Jiamin spent less than two months with her family in the past two years. During the closed training at the Chongming base, Xu Jiamin's husband took her daughter to the Chongming base to see her. The family could only wear a mask and look at each other from a distance through the fence gate, and the daughter cried and shouted "Mother hug, mother hug", which became a picture that Xu Jiamin still remembers to this day.

Li Jianxin, 64, retired four years ago. After spending less than a few months at her daughter's house, she was drafted into the rowing team. First as the leader of the national rowing team, and then as the leader of the national kayaking team in this Olympic Games, he said: "After a lifetime of rowing, I can't stop. ”
Less than 10 days after returning home in two years, Li Jianxin said with a bitter smile that when he was the coach of the national team, there were some opinions at home, "What can be done?" Do the work. To be in the national team, to get the Olympics, that's all there is to it. ”

Behind Zhang Yufei, who won the championship this morning, there is also a familiar Shanghai face. Nicknamed "Father Cui" and "Father Cui" by Yu Fei, Cui Dengrong is a smart, kind, humorous and particularly serious person in the eyes of his beloved disciples. Lu Ying, who once trained a Silver Medalist in London olympics for Shanghai, is now focusing on building China's new butterfly queen.

Now in the national team, Shanghai coaches are taking on more and more responsibilities, and the athletes in charge are also from all over the world.
Shanghai lai sai, "come to the race" is not only the athletes, but also many coaches and medical security team. At the Olympic Games, 15 coaches from Shanghai were selected for the Chinese delegation. Although some coaches were unable to enter the list of the Chinese delegation due to quota restrictions, all coaches insisted on preparing for the Olympic Games and insisting on putting the interests of the motherland first. Diligent and dedicated, courageous to innovate, and sacrificing small homes for everyone, Shanghai coaches have become the backbone of promoting the development of competitive sports in China.
As Li Jianxin said: "The highest temple of sports people is the Olympic Games." When the coach can see the players standing on the podium, everything is worth it. (Li Ranran)
