Recently, the winners of the 27th China Youth May Fourth Medal have been officially announced. Olympic champion and race walking star Sister Cheyang Shijie was awarded the Youth May Fourth Medal, and she became the only athlete on the Chinese track and field team to win this award.
When it comes to Sister Cheyangshi, many people will say that she is perhaps the most tragic person on the Chinese track and field team. During her sports career, Sister Cheyang Shi's achievements in international competitions were not inferior to Olympic champions Liu Hong and Gong Lijiao, but the attention paid to her from the outside world was never high. Previously, the IOC Executive Board had announced that Cheyang Shijie was officially replaced as the champion of the women's 20km race walk event at the 2012 London Olympics.
But for Sister Cheyangshi, it is a great pity that she did not experience the experience of standing on the highest podium of the Olympic Games in person. This time was awarded the May Fourth Medal of Chinese Youth, and netizens said that this award is the greatest spiritual encouragement and comfort for Sister Cheyang Shi. In this selection, the official gave Sister Cheyang Shi a high evaluation. The commentary mentioned that during her 16-year career, Sister Cheyang won a total of 11 gold medals in international and domestic competitions, and participated in the Olympic Games and National Games three times.
After winning the gold medal in the women's 20km race walk at the 2012 London Olympics, Cheyang Shijie became the first Tibetan athlete to win gold at the Olympics, achieving a breakthrough of zero. Race walking has always been the traditional advantage of the Chinese track and field team, and the Chinese race walking team represented by Cheyang Shijie, Liu Hong, Lv Xiuzhi and Chen Ding has achieved countless excellent results in the 2012 London Olympic Games, the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and several world championships. In 2010, she was selected by the coach for the national team, focusing on the women's 20km race walk.
A year later, Cheyang finished second in the women's 20km race walk final at the IAAF Race Walking Challenge. At the 2012 London Olympics, Cheyansh crossed the finish line third in the women's 20km race walk, ahead of two Russian athletes. But last year, Russia's Rosamanova and runner-up Kaneskina were both disqualified due to doping problems, so Cheyanshjie, who had originally won the third place, won the gold medal.
The other two Chinese players, Liu Hong and Lu Xiuzhi, took silver and bronze respectively. This is also the second time that the Chinese women's race walking team has swept the top three after 11 years. In addition, Sister Cheyang Shi has also left a glorious footprint in the international arena. In the women's team 20km race walk competition at the World Race Walking Championships, Sister Cheyang Shi won the championship with her teammates. This season, Cheyangshi continued to form well, winning the bronze medal in the women's 20km race walk event at the World Athletics Championships.
This time was awarded the Chinese Youth May Fourth Medal, and Sister Cheyang Shi has become the hottest figure of the Chinese track and field team!
