She has broken the world record twice and has been expelled from the national team twice.
But after a closer look, you will find that these two expulsions actually have another deep meaning!
All content in this article is based on official and reliable sources, and the specific information is detailed at the end of the article.
At the Winter Olympics two years ago, the phrase "My eyes are rulers" made Wang Menghuo out of the circle and once again entered the public eye.
The former Olympic champion has a much richer resume than many competitors.
Became famous at a young age, entered the national team at the age of 16, and with his hands behind his back, he seemed to win the championship easily.
However, behind the boom in his career, Wang Meng was once caught in a fight, which caused criticism from netizens and was expelled.
But after sorting out these two departures, you will understand why the country did not choose to "forgive" Wang Meng, who won frequent awards.
A hot-tempered world champion
Recently, when Wang Meng was invited to speak, he talked about his family and growth experience.
From this speech, we can feel why this girl from the Northeast has such a stubborn and fiery personality.
Wang Meng said that when she was born, the family was disappointed to see that it was a girl.
At that time, her father was the most profitable man in the family, but he gave birth to two girls one after another.
In the old patriarchal era, mothers with two daughters couldn't even lift their heads in front of their neighbors.
So since she was a child, Wang Meng has been competing with herself and her family, and she wants to prove to everyone that she is no worse than a boy.
Whether it's naughty or skating competitions, she has to compete for the first place, so she has developed a stubborn and fiery character.
When he was 10 years old, Wang Meng was selected by his coach for the first time in short track speed skating, and he was considered a promising talent.
Originally, the family did not agree with Wang Meng to train, thinking that this sport was useless, what could be a big deal?
It was Wang Meng's mother's repeated insistence that made her finally embark on this path.
However, it was her mother's decision that turned Wang Meng's life upside down, and 6 years later, she entered the national team.
Two years after joining the team, in 2002, she won the first World Youth Championship and the first Chinese champion in this event.
The coach at that time was not mistaken, Wang Meng had a superhuman talent in short track speed skating, and it can be said that she was a talented girl.
However, not a few years after entering the national team, Wang Meng's "incompatibility" was gradually revealed.
Twice expelled
In 2007, after Wang Meng won the championship on the field, she directly bypassed her coach and left the field.
The keen audience and the media smelled the smell of discord under this move.
And what they felt was indeed right, at that time, Wang Meng and her new coach Li Yan had a huge disagreement.
For a long time, Wang Meng has been accustomed to being alone, and he has run in with his previous coach very well, so after the coach was replaced, Wang Meng was in a very bad mood.
Not only has the training method she is familiar with changed, but also the difference in philosophy between her and Li Yan.
Li Yan believes that the most important thing on the field should be teamwork, which is contrary to Wang Meng's idea.
The two of them didn't talk speculatively for more than half a sentence, and Wang Meng was unwilling to train with his own methods, which gave the players and coaches of the national team a headache.
Whether it is a national team or an ordinary team, the reason why it can continue to operate is because everyone abides by the rules and cooperates with the group.
An imbalance in one person can affect the entire team.
Soon, Wang Meng reflected on her youthfulness, she was expelled from the national team and returned to the provincial team.
At the same time, Li Yan also made a reflection on his management, the two released their previous suspicions, the relationship returned to normal, and Wang Meng returned to the national team.
More than ten years later, on the commentary stage of the Winter Olympics, Wang Meng said excitedly that teamwork is the most important.
It can be seen from here that the experience of being expelled for the first time gave Wang Meng a lot of inspiration, so he was able to apply this concept to his own system.
However, Wang Meng, who returned to the national team for the first time, did not know that he was about to be expelled for the second time.
In 2011, a rare scene was staged on the streets of Lijiang.
The members of the national team actually got into a fight with the security guards! These team members are the athletes of the short track speed skating back then.
The clash alarmed the police, and both sides were taken away, and by the time Wang Meng arrived, the matter was almost over.
Seeing that the team members were wronged, Wang Meng immediately posted a Weibo to express his grievances.
This Weibo immediately set off an uproar.
In addition to Wang Meng and the parties, many people were not clear about the situation at the scene, so there were all kinds of remarks.
Some people say that Wang Meng called the police in English, and some people say that Wang Meng fought the most happily inside, but in fact, Wang Meng did not participate in the fight.
In a later interview, Wang Meng took the initiative to bring up the matter.
At that time, the team's solution was cold treatment, Wang Meng held this breath in his heart, had nowhere to vent, and was very depressed.
Wang Meng's training was affected, and his mood did not change, and soon, it caused a catastrophe.
Chonghui Feng
On the night shortly after the Lijiang incident, Wang Meng violated the team's rules to drink late at night and exceeded the curfew time before returning to the dormitory.
After violating the two rules, Wang Meng had a conflict with his teammates because of this incident, and finally escalated to a physical conflict.
The fight in the team seriously affected the unity of the team, and this time, Wang Meng received a "dismissal order" again.
After falling into the turmoil, it is the most vulnerable time period for Wang Meng's mentality, and his mentality has not been adjusted, and conflicts are inevitable.
But as the saying goes, there are no rules, and Wang Meng, who violated three rules in a row because of depression, could only leave the national team in the end.
Even for the most brilliant short track speed skaters, the national team does not discriminate and has no privileges.
Perhaps it is this fairness and justice that allows the national team to always send the best athletes to major competitions.
Soon after Wang Meng was expelled, he returned to the national team again with his strength.
After the wind and waves, Wang Meng's mentality has calmed down a lot, and he has become more stable.
After being expelled, other countries threw olive branches to Wang Meng, but Wang Meng decisively refused, and what she wanted was to win glory for the country.
After coming back, Wang Meng really shined again and won the first place in the international competition this time.
It was not until 2014 that the 30-year-old Wang Meng left the national team and officially retired due to injury.
epilogue
After retiring, Wang Meng was still active in short track speed skating for a while, and then exploded at the Winter Olympics, and her deeds were once again praised by people.
The layers of run-in between the hot-tempered Olympic champions and the national team also let us see the other side of the excitement of competitive sports.
The two expulsions from the national team have brought growth to Wang Meng, which may be what we often call mutual achievement.
