Li Xuemei was an absolute leader in China: Asian Games champion, Asian women's record holder... What is Li Xuemei busy with after 14 years of retirement?
<h1>Play with triple characters</h1>
A beige slim trench coat, a fashion shawl, delicate makeup on the face, mature and beautiful Li Xuemei makes people shine, and it is difficult to associate with her dark skin when she was in the Chinese field. When Li Xuemei reappeared at the Chengdu Xipu Athletics Training Base she was familiar with, her role had quietly changed — no longer as an athlete competing in the competition, but as a referee.
"I am very happy to come to the National Athletics Points Competition as a referee and meet many former friends and coaches." Li Xuemei, who was in a good mood, always had a smile on her face, "This year I just took the first-level referee certificate, and I hope to be admitted to the national level as soon as possible." I really like athletics, and refereeing is also engaged in athletics-related things, which makes my life very fulfilling and happy. For the development of refereeing, Li Xuemei hopes to be able to enforce higher-level competitions in the future, such as the Olympic Games and the World Championships, "but my English is not good now, I signed up for an English class, and now I am studying hard." ”
In addition to the role of "referee", Li Xuemei's main job is a teacher, "I am now a physical education teacher at Sichuan University of Science and Technology, mainly giving students aerobics, badminton and other classes, and also responsible for leading the school's high-level sports team." The students are very obedient, and the teacher's job is relatively much easier than when she was an athlete, which makes Li Xuemei very pleased, "The biggest difference between being a teacher and before is that time is much freer." When I was an athlete, I didn't even take a holiday during the Spring Festival, and now as a teacher, I can have winter and summer vacations. ”
Li Xuemei usually gives lessons to students, but on weekends she becomes a student herself. "I am now a graduate student at chengdu sports institute on the weekend, and I am about to graduate, and I am busy preparing to write my graduation thesis." Li Xuemei said, "Athletes are 'experts', and the so-called 'experts' means that in addition to focusing only on their own projects, the rest have no energy to care." Now that I have the time and energy, I want to learn more knowledge to enrich myself before I was still alive. ”
Referees, teachers, students, the transformation of the triple role in Li Xuemei kailai changed freely, "all changes are not far from its origins, they are all related to sports, or very adaptable." ”
<h1>Favorites spend less than who spends less</h1>
"Now my amateur life is much richer than when I was an athlete, and I like to travel with my friends in addition to shopping and watching movies." Li Xuemei said that most of her friends are teammates who have been practicing athletics together since childhood, and now most of them are teachers, and it is very simple to be with them. "When we travel, we usually spend less money than anyone else, and I often spend very little money to go to many places, and my friends don't believe me."
Li Xuemei also recounted a trip that she was very proud of, "I went to Lijiang, Lugu Lake and Dali last summer, and spent more than half a month at less than 1500. "Taking the train and bus, staying in a small hotel in the local ancient town, and eating local snacks are all good ways for Li Xuemei to save money when traveling." I wore a large straw hat that would provide shade from the sun, and then I would take on my backpack and travel as I pleased, wherever I wanted to play. It's hard but it's fun. ”
<h1>Athletics is the most able to exercise people's endurance</h1>
"Over the years of practicing athletics, I have experienced big ups and downs, and the biggest gain I have gained is to learn to bear." Li Xuemei said that everyone will experience peaks and valleys in life, not every moment is smooth, and the ability to bear is very important for everyone. Especially as a track and field athlete, the professional life expectancy itself is very short, and we must learn to persevere and withstand the pressure.
"A lot of people think of athletics as a boring sport, running non-stop every day year after year. In fact, for me, athletics is a particularly fulfilling sport, after training, the first is the first when competing, and the feedback is the most direct. ”
<h1>Not being able to suffer is the biggest obstacle in women's sprinting</h1>
Since Li Xuemei retired, the Chinese women's track and field sprinters have lacked a leading figure, and the results have not been able to go up, and even no one has yet reached the Olympic A standard. In the just-concluded National Athletics Points Race, the results of the women's sprint were not ideal, "Now the only child can suffer too few, and athletics is just a project that must be able to endure hardships." Li Xuemei expressed her personal opinion.
Recalling the most bitter training life of that year, Li Xuemei still remembers it vividly. "I remember one year of winter training running 6 consecutive 300 meters, when the foot injury was just right, there was no systematic training for a long time, I really couldn't stand it, I took off my running shoes and threw them on the field, 'no practice, no practice' I ran back to the dormitory while crying and shouting." But the next day, Li Xuemei still appeared on the training ground on time, "because I like athletics too much, running has become a part of my life, and I can't do without it." ”
"On the other hand, it may be that the team members are too anxious now and want to get results immediately, so that they can't reach the speed." Practice track and field must not be too anxious, according to the coach's will step by step, I believe that the Chinese women's sprint performance will soon improve. Li Xuemei said.
