Preface
Liu Xiang, a beauty in the Chinese swimming world, is a first-class beauty in both appearance and figure! She herself often shares photos of wearing sexy swimsuits in her life, and many netizens praise her good looks and goddesses!
But she is also the world record holder, and she has experienced a lot of hardships along the way......
Athletic families embark on a career path
Liu Xiang was born in Guangzhou in 1996, and her parents are quite accomplished in sports. Her mother, Wang Huiying, practiced basketball when she was young, and Liu Xiang's father used to be a professional athlete. As a result, they are more aware of the hardships of an athlete's career.
So Liu Xiang, as their child, the couple did not want her to embark on this road, but only hoped that she could grow up healthily. Liu Xiang's fate with swimming starts from elementary school.
When she first started learning to swim, Liu Xiang was also cooperative and interested, she felt that the water was cool, and she could learn a skill, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. Her parents thought that they were just letting her learn something, and Liu Xiang also learned to paint and dance during that time.
In the process of studying, he also accidentally discovered Liu Xiang's talent in swimming. Other children may practice for a long time, and their swimming posture is not standardized, but Liu Xiang can learn four swimming styles in just three months!
Whether it is the coach or Liu Xiang's parents who have practiced sports, they can see that this child is a good seedling in swimming, and when Liu Xiang was in the fourth grade of primary school, Liu Xiang's mother finally made a decision to let her child go to a sports school to practice swimming.
Liu Xiang went to the sports school, she trained every day, she was also very transparent in swimming, and with a little guidance from the coach, she understood, and her grades rose quickly. In 2010, the Guangdong team came to the sports school to select students and held a selection competition, and Liu Xiang won the championship in one fell swoop.
After entering the provincial team, although I changed places, there was still no major change in the daily training routine. In 2012, Liu Xiang ushered in the first major event in her life - the National Swimming Championships, and she won the championship.
In the 50m races that followed, he also won the championship trophy. This is undoubtedly smooth sailing for an athlete who has just debuted, but the good times did not last long, just won the championship in 2013, and four months later he "planted his head" at the Shenyang National Games.
When you hit a low point, you plan to give up
Winning so many championships has increased Liu Xiang's self-confidence, but he only won the fourth place in the Shenyang National Games. After the race, Liu Xiang was very frustrated, she felt that she had put in an absolute effort, but the result was that she did not even go up to the podium.
When the people around her saw her like this, they also knew that it was not easy, so they comforted Liu Xiang one after another, telling her that she was really talented in swimming, don't give up, and if you insist on persevering, you will become better in the future.
But it was herself who failed, no matter what the people around her said, Liu Xiang couldn't listen to it, in her own opinion, she obviously tried her best, but she only won the fourth place, even if she was talented as the people around her said, she should have exhausted it......
During that time, she was in a very bad mood, so she returned home from the team, and she didn't eat or say anything every day, she locked herself in her room, and her parents were very anxious to watch, but there was no practical way.
As soon as she persuaded Liu Xiang, her rebellious energy came up, and she would do it, and said that she didn't want to practice, and whoever wanted to go would go. It is very important for swimmers to maintain a sense of water, but Liu Xiang has not been in the water for three months.
Later, one day, Liu Xiang suddenly figured it out, so he took the initiative to return to the team to continue training, and told her mother that the mattress in her team was small and she wanted to buy a new one. Her mother was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly agreed.
After packing up his mood like this, Liu Xiang returned to the water and continued to live the days of training every day.
Start Again Break the world record
In the 2018 Asian Games, Liu Xiang participated in the women's 50-meter backstroke.
At the beginning of the water, Liu Xiang had a great advantage, in the most leading position, and when she touched the pool wall after 50 meters, everyone present was boiling. Liu Xiang made history! 26.98 seconds! A new world record was born!
Before this, the world record was still 27.06 seconds, which was also set by our Chinese players, it was still 2009, and after nine years, the world record was broken again, or we Chinese!
At that time, even Liu Xiang herself didn't expect it, she felt like a dream. Fu Yuanhui, who participated in the competition with her, also hurriedly congratulated her after knowing it.
In her career, she broke the world record at the Asian Games in Jakarta, the 2019 Swimming World Cup, and the Asian record at the 2021 National Games. In this short sentence, only she will know how much effort Liu Xiang has put in.
Liu Xiang is actually not quite the same as other world champions, her own physique is actually poor among athletes, and the injuries from years of training are tantamount to adding insult to injury, in addition, she also suffers from asthma, and sometimes she faints while training.
But her explosiveness is very strong, and the coach will actively help her find a better feeling in the water according to her situation, and Liu Xiang also gave back to the coach with excellent results. But she will still be haunted by some words from the outside world.
Haunted by the title "Goddess" self-regulate
Since Liu Xiang emerged, many media have reported on her deeds, but there are also some media that "go off the rails", reporting on her appearance and figure, Liu Xiang was not very acceptable at first, she wants everyone to see her achievements.
There are also many people on the Internet who will comment on her personal social account "goddess", "so beautiful", etc., for this situation, Liu Xiang adapted to it for a while before accepting it, she knew that she used to look like this, and so many people could see it, it must be because of her own achievements.
After that, Liu Xiang will still train hard, hoping to get more good results, but in the past two years, due to physical reasons, Liu Xiang has not participated in many large-scale competitions, and is still enjoying life.
On the Internet, she often shares beautiful photos of herself, what she has been doing recently, and sometimes she also records videos to share the entire record of her training. Netizens were also very happy.
epilogue
As a swimmer, he will indeed receive attention from the outside world, but Liu Xiang himself coped with and handled this situation very well, and worked hard for his results, which is a real athlete!
