As an Olympic champion, Chinese shooter Yang Qian was once the hottest athlete in China, and at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Yang Qian won the first gold medal of the Chinese delegation, she wore a mask to receive the award on stage, and compared her heart to the camera, which also became a classic scene. Yang Qian's commercial value has increased greatly, and she has even become the spokesperson of a mobile phone manufacturer and participated in variety shows. Yang Qian made a lot of money and won the championship for the Chinese shooting team, which completely changed her destiny. In addition to being a top athlete, Yang Qian is also a student at Tsinghua University, which is enough to see how good she is.
Yang Qian, Quan Hongchan and Su Bingtian are the three hottest athletes in 2021, but the development of these people is very different. Su Bingtian is already a 34-year-old veteran, he is still running hard, hoping to continue to break through himself in the arena, and Su Bingtian will also participate in the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games. Quan Hongchan, 16, is back at the top again after being crowned double champion at the 2023 Diving World Cup in Montreal. However, 23-year-old Yang Qian has suffered frequent setbacks in domestic shooting competitions, let alone participating in international competitions.
The 2023 National Shooting Championships continued at the Fuyang Yinhu Sports Center, with Zhejiang winning gold in the women's 10m air rifle team event. In the single event, Zhang Qiongyue of the Jilin team won the gold medal in the women's 10m air rifle, while Wang Zhilin and Huang Yuting won the silver and bronze medals in the women's 10m air rifle. Yang Qian also participated in this competition, but still did not qualify for the final, in fact, after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Yang Qian almost did not achieve decent results.
Yang Qian's cliff-like decline is also staggering, never seen an Olympic champion disappear with everyone in just 2 years, Yang Qian once considered the leader of the Chinese shooting team and had the opportunity to create new history, but she has now fallen to the altar, whether she can participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics, there is a question mark.
The most important thing in shooting competitions is to ensure the stability of mentality, and now Yang Qian's heart is not quiet. At the Tokyo Olympics, she didn't have any fame, and no one even knew that she was a student from Tsinghua University, and because of this, Yang Qian was not disturbed, and she could achieve surprising results by focusing all her attention on the competition. But after the fire, Yang Qian frequently received endorsements, participated in business activities, and was interviewed by reporters, and she put too much time and energy on this. Moreover, Yang Qian has been subjected to online violence, she cares too much about what everyone thinks of her, she is the most praised Olympic champion, and she is also the champion who has suffered the most online violence.
Moreover, Yang Qian often shoots some videos and posts them on social media, and her followers have reached several million. Yang Qian's mentality has changed, and if she does not change herself, it will be difficult for her to return to her competitive state in 2021. It is worth mentioning that after the end of the 2023 National Shooting Championship, Yang Qian was also frustrated with losing the competition, and she finally began to reflect and began to worry that everyone was disappointed in her, and in the final analysis, she did not do her well.
I have to say that Yang Qian is completely lost, in fact, she doesn't have to worry about whether the outside world is disappointed in her, shooting sports have not received much attention, and Yang Qian's popularity has dropped too much compared to 2 years ago. She should still think clearly about whether she likes shooting or not, and if she wants to continue to represent the Chinese team in the Olympics, she should sink her heart and prepare for training. If she thinks she's achieved her career goals, do something else she enjoys. Fish and bear's paw can't have both, and Yang Qian wanted too many things after becoming famous.
