Hello everyone, here is Mo Lijun, in the Olympic Arena, in fact, every player's road to the championship is very bumpy, even if it is a champion.
Steiner won the championship
In the weightlifting event of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, there was a dark horse, he was Steiner, who won the seventh place at the Athens Olympic Games, and he touched countless people that year, he represented his wife's country to participate.
Steiner was diagnosed with diabetes when he was only 18 years old, but he did not give up his weightlifting career and finished seventh at the Athens Olympics, but he was far from the medal.
He is not recognized by his country, in Austria he is not even regarded as an athlete, because of his illness, his weight continues to rise, he has changed from a young and vigorous young man to a "fat uncle", but there is a person who has always been inseparable from him, that is, his wife, and his super fan.
Steiner in the game
After the end of the Athens Olympic Games, Steiner and this girl named Susan successfully entered the palace of marriage, but the road after that was not easy, because in a competition, Steiner did not even qualify for the preliminary round because of his illness, which made his country disappointed him, more and more people said that he was not suitable for being an athlete, but should go to a nursing home to spend his old age!
Steiner was also completely disappointed by the overwhelming accusations, so he decided to follow his wife to her home country, and he also became a German citizen.
The International Olympic Committee has a rule that after changing nationality, he cannot participate in the World Series for representing his country for three years, which is a challenge and an opportunity for Steiner, because of his illness, he has to change his kilogram, which is a big challenge for a weightlifter.
The new workout program was tough, but his wife was always with him, she thought he would win a medal for Germany, he was inspired, and he was inspired to show his glory at the Beijing Olympics.
However, a year before the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics,
He worked harder until the moment he stood on the field.
Surrounded by world-class celebrities, there are also weightlifters from his native Austria, he has no advantage among many players, but he has more important things, that is, the blessing of his wife, the last move Steiner is 9 kg away from the first place, and, in the eyes of all, he created a miracle, with a total score of 423 kg to win the championship!
He was so excited that he knelt directly on the field, on the podium, tears bursting out, he clutched the picture of his deceased wife in his hand, which was something more important than the gold medal, not only he shed tears, but peace-loving people all over the world shed tears.
This is the miracle of love, without his wife, he may not have such courage, maybe he will carry a picture of his wife every day of training, and when he stands on the highest podium, his wife may also smile.
After winning the championship, he met another girl, and in 2010 they held a wedding, what an enviable scene, for Susan, he did not misread the husband, for the current wife, Steiner did everything deeply touched her, Steiner has now chosen to retire, and cured of his illness, now he can live an ordinary and warm life with his wife.
