«——[·China's shortest Olympic champion ·] ——»
Deng Linlin is the only female athlete in the history of mainland gymnastics to win consecutive Olympic championships. Because of her height of 148 at the time, she was also known as China's shortest Olympic champion.
And now she has developed for the second time after retiring, once became a goddess against the attack, and accepted her fiancé's marriage proposal on December 10, 2022. How did she achieve a double harvest of career and love step by step?
«——[·Deng Linlin's growth trajectory·】——»
Deng Linlin originally entered a sports school with her brother, and compared to the young Deng Linlin, her family's expectations were placed on her brother. Unexpectedly, by mistake, the Chinese gymnastics team saw the potential of Deng Linlin.
She also showed her super gymnastic talent in front of the teachers of the national team, and in this way, Deng Linlin was successfully selected for the national team with the excellent results of the provincial team.
When she was first selected for the national team, Deng Linlin was too young, so she had never been able to play for the country, and could only work as a sparring partner for the national team. But this did not affect Deng Linlin's mentality, after training, Deng Linlin finally reached the age where she could compete, and her ability became stronger and stronger, and gradually became the main force of the Chinese women's gymnastics team.
Deng Linlin has won two consecutive Olympic championships and is the first athlete in the history of mainland gymnastics to win consecutive championships. But looking at her experience in her career as an athlete, she found that she had so much training at a young age.
"I have brought many gymnasts after Deng Linlin, although some of them are more talented than Deng Linlin, and some are younger than Deng Linlin at that time, but Deng Linlin has a very strong mind, which no one can compare to her..." said Zhang Xia, Deng Linlin's previous coach.
Zhang Xia gave Deng Linlin a very high evaluation, indeed, Zhang Xia's vision of people is very accurate. Deng Linlin is indeed such a woman.
After Deng Linlin retired in 2013, she entered the International College of Peking University with excellent competition results. Deng Linlin, who grew up in the gymnastics training ground, encountered her blank field, and she felt extremely confused in the face of the huge campus and the unaccustomed living environment.
Her pressure is increasing, especially when it comes to exams. During the final exam of her freshman year, other students walked out of the examination room full of confidence, and she looked at her test paper and shed tears in a hurry.
But this little difficulty can't bother her at all, just like her coach Zhang Xia said, Deng Linlin has a very powerful mind.
Since there is a difficulty, face the difficulty and solve it.
She forced herself to get used to this stressful life different from preparing for war, to enjoy this college life that belonged to her.
After a period of running-in with college life, she gradually became a fish in water during this career. Even Deng Linlin often heard other students discussing her on campus.
"Hey! Do you know that there is an Olympic champion in our academy? ”
No one expected that the Olympic champion Deng Linlin was listening to their discussion not far away.
It is precisely because of Deng Linlin's strong thinking and perseverance that she has such strong achievements in the gymnastics industry.
"When other little girls come to train, practice handstands. Some people who can't hold on crying are there, but Deng Linlin can support it for more than ten minutes without saying anything. Zhang Xia said.
It is Zhang Xia who knows what kind of person Deng Linlin is, and she will believe that she can make her own achievements no matter where she is. So when Deng Linlin told Zhang Xia about the difficulties she encountered in her college life, Zhang Xia believed that she could get through this difficulty. As it turned out, Deng Linlin did it.
When the final exam was again in her junior year, Deng Linlin could already walk out of the examination room full of confidence like other students. Also in this year, Deng Linlin was elected as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Anhui, and after retiring, Deng Linlin found another direction in life.
«——[·Caring for the country.]——»
Out of love for gymnastics, Deng Linlin has always been full of love for gymnastics, so when she was about to graduate from university, Deng Linlin went to Japan to take the international referee exam and achieved excellent results and successfully passed the test.
Thanks to her efforts in college, Deng Linlin did not relax her requirements for herself after retiring, but more strictly required her to study and improve. Originally, after taking the international referee exam in Japan, she planned to continue her studies in the United States, but in view of the country's demand for gymnastics talents, she chose to work as a coach in the gymnastics center in the sports bureau of Anhui Province in her hometown to cultivate talents like her for the motherland.
After working, she continued to study and was admitted to Beijing Sport University as a graduate student in 2018. Subsequently, Deng Linlin obtained the professional and technical qualification of senior coach, and planned to go to the United States for two years to learn the knowledge of American gymnastics, and come back to better train Chinese gymnasts.
In 2021, Deng Linlin returned to China to continue to cultivate talents for the Chinese gymnastics team. However, Deng Linlin first appeared in front of the public eye, not after she won the championship and became famous, but in the documentary "Building Dreams 2008" in which she participated in 2008.
This documentary records the training process of three gymnasts, this "Building Dreams 2008", clearly shows the difficulty of mainland gymnasts, in order to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games, Deng Linlin trained day and night, cut movements, and strive to achieve perfection in every movement.
That year, Deng Linlin was only fourteen years old, and in the face of her imperfect movements, she immediately cried with a few words from the coach.
I thought that she had strong self-esteem and couldn't stand the scolding, but this was not the case. Deng Linlin is resolute and emotional, she will cry when she does not practice well, and she will cry when she does not play well, which coaches and teammates are used to.
In the year that Deng Linlin won the 2008 Olympic Championship, the documentary called "Building Dreams 2008" was officially released, which recorded the hardships of Deng Linlin's preparation for the Olympics. It was also her first Olympic gold medal.
Four years later, at the London Olympics, in 2021, Deng Linlin won the Olympic championship and won the gold medal in the final of the women's gymnastics balance beam, and was also the first female athlete in the history of Chinese gymnastics to win a gold medal in the Olympic Games for two consecutive years.
She became a role model for all gymnasts. It is well known that female gymnasts have very short golden careers, they generally compete at the age of sixteen, and at the age of twenty they pass the peak of their bodies and can only retire.
But Deng Linlin was different, she broke the "curse" of female gymnasts retiring at the age of twenty, and when she persisted until 2013, a year after winning the London Olympic gold medal, she chose to retire and was sent to the International College of Peking University.
Deng Linlin has a different body than ordinary people, her palms are much larger than the soles of her feet, which may be why her athletic career is longer than that of other gymnasts.
Just after she ended her athletic career and began her college life. After "rest and recuperation", Deng Linlin ushered in a second development. Not only is she ten centimeters taller than before, but she also weighs ten pounds. At the same time, she often participated in social networking on campus, learned makeup and dressing, and completely transformed into a "goddess".
In 2021, when Deng Linlin studied from the United States, she met her "love of her life" - Gu Xuesong.
Gu Xuesong and Deng Linlin are the same athletes, but Gu Xuesong is a shooter. He defeated then-South Korea at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games to win gold.
But the relationship between the two did not go very smoothly, first of all, the difficulty of the two in different places, Gu Xuesong is from Shanghai, and Deng Linlin is from Anhui. After returning to China, the two worked far apart, and they also experienced a period of long-distance relationships, and Deng Linlin's career was important. Gu Xuesong, who could not give up, resolutely came to Anhui to settle down for her lover, just to be able to accompany her lover forever.
Just after the two overcame many difficulties to be together, in July 2022, Deng Linlin announced their relationship on her social platform. Harvested a blessing, in the eyes of others, this is a pair of "golden children and jade girls", incomparably matched.
In November 2022, the two participated in a show, in which Gu Xuesong and the joint staff concealed Deng Linlin and prepared a grand marriage proposal for her. On the same day, Deng Linlin was extremely surprised, surprised and delighted, tears spilled on the spot, and agreed to Gu Xuesong's marriage proposal.
Once this matter spread on the Internet, it received the blessings of countless netizens and friends. When she was asked when she was ready to get married, she said that she had her own ideas and should follow the ideas and plans step by step.
Today, she and Gu Xuesong have joined Anhui Normal University as a physical education teacher. She has been working tirelessly to train outstanding gymnasts in China.
She and her fiancé, Gu Xuesong, have a desire to promote the popularization of sports in China. Because children now generally do not love sports, she hopes to do her best to promote the popularization of mass sports, and said that she will always stick to it and never forget her original intention.
«——[·End of story ·] ——»
No matter what she does, Deng Linlin always has a strong ideological support, she has goals and abilities. She also deserves such excellent results.
Now that she has graduated with a master's degree, she has become a university teacher, and she has a great desire to promote popular sports in China.
She has persevered as a gymnast into her work and study, and she has become a business card and a representative figure of the Anhui Provincial Gymnastics Team. Deng Linlin also ran to the main venue as a torchbearer at the Ziyunying Talent Night held in Wuhu, Anhui Province.
Now 31 years old, she is still on her way, and she has fully devoted herself to the cultivation of sports talents in China. As a Chinese athlete, her responsibility and recognition of the country is very strong, and I hope that Deng Linlin can get better and better in the future and realize her great wish as soon as possible.
