On April 9, 2024, Beijing time, Zhang Yufei has won the 2023 Moving China Person of the Year, and there was a touching scene at the award ceremony, the audience applauded and cheered for Zhang Yufei, and Zhang Yufei, who turned his back to the audience, smiled and took a selfie. For Zhang Yufei and the Chinese swimming team, this is an encouragement, and Zhang Yufei is expected to transform again in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
Looking back on Zhang Yufei's career, it was not smooth, the Rio Olympic cycle, she was full of confidence, but the reality was cruel, which gave her a blow to the head and made her realize the gap between herself and the world's top players. Subsequently, Zhang Yufei trained hard, took the initiative to change his skills, continued to practice, ushered in progress and transformation again and again, and then shined in the Tokyo Olympics.
Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, Zhang Yufei continued to move forward, she firmly believed, constantly broke through herself, not only maintained a strong competitiveness in the main event, but also made great progress in the secondary event, and gradually became the all-round king of the women's team. In almost every competition, Zhang Yufei has to take care of butterfly, freestyle, relay, and the relay also includes medley and freestyle relay. Every time she competes internationally, Zhang Yufei works hard, but she can always persevere, and then see a better version of herself.
In the Hangzhou Asian Games, Zhang Yufei won 6 gold medals alone, becoming another 6 gold medals in the Asian Games, she is the most valuable athlete and a recognized model worker. Zhang Yufei was also very warm-hearted, encouraging Chijiang Lihuazi on the spot, hugging Chijiang Lihuazi and bursting into tears. On the training ground, she will take the initiative to joke with the coach, sometimes deliberately make the coach angry, and the training atmosphere is very relaxed. Once Zhang Yufei enters the training state, she is very serious, she often uses the standards of male players to demand herself, and her physical condition is naturally getting better and better.
Zhang Yufei touched everyone with tenacious struggle and never gave up, she is a person who rises in adversity, an Olympic champion, a six-time champion of the Asian Games, and a banner figure of Chinese swimming. At the award ceremony, the audience and the host applauded Zhang Yufei and cheered, which was so moving. Zhang Yufei knows that this honor belongs to the powerful collective of the Chinese swimming team, and she can only continue to work hard to win glory for the collective and the country.
I hope that Zhang Yufei can pass on this touch, so that his teammates can feel the strength, and the rising Chinese swimming team will become stronger and stronger, and make a historic breakthrough in the Paris Olympics!
