The gathering of gymnastics champions, this is a big thing, it's like the idols we chased in those years suddenly all come together, everyone has a topic, everyone is worth talking about. In the Li Ning Sports Park in Nanning, Guangxi, these former gymnastics elites and now life experts have taught us a lesson: how to age gracefully, or not go.
Let's talk about our Li Jing first, at the age of 54, his figure is really a little "round", but this does not affect his kingly aura at all. The eyes that once turned the clouds and rain in major gymnastics competitions are still as bright as ever. People call the years a pig-killing knife, but when the blade touches Li Jing, it seems that they have to take a detour. Having said that, Li Jing's gymnastics skills at that time were overwhelmed by a group of friends, and winning a gold medal was as common as eating. After retiring, he was not idle, he turned to the coaching world, and then went to Hunan University for further study, which is simply the leader of the gymnastics world!
Then we have to talk about Li Anqi, the other half of Li Xiaopeng, who does look a little haggard. remembers her previous sentence on the show, "Don't talk to me in English, okay", which became her signature line. I don't know if it's because of the pressure of life, or the gap between the front and back of the camera, which makes her look a little tired. But in any case, as a member of the gymnastics world, her story is also unknown to us onlookers.
When it comes to frozen age, our Liu Xuan and Yang Yunke have to be on the list. Liu Xuan is 45 years old, she still looks so young, her skin is firm, and her smile is still so bright. Not only have he won gold medals in gymnastics, but he has also acted in dramas and TV shows after retiring, and he is simply a representative of versatility. And Yang Yun, at the age of 40, still maintains a girlish appearance, if this is not called frozen age, then what else is frozen age in the world? Yang Yun's transformation after retirement is also a successful model, from TV host to movie actor, all of them show her multi-faceted talent.
The venue of the gathering was chosen in Li Ning Sports Park, which is not only a gathering place for sports, but also a gathering place for memories on this day. Think about it, these gymnastics champions who once won glory for the country are now gathered here, in addition to lamenting the passage of time, but also reminiscing and cherishing those youthful years. The interaction between them, that deep camaraderie, is incomprehensible to us outsiders.
Talking about this, do you think that the gathering of gymnastics champions is not just an ordinary party, it is more like a time travel. They use their own experiences to tell us that no matter how the years change, that love for gymnastics and enthusiasm for life will never change. Li Jing's calmness, Li Anqi's precipitation, Liu Xuan and Yang Yun's frozen age miracle, every detail is the highlight of this party.
However, the party also gave us a glimpse of a different side of the retired athletes. Their lives are not all glamorous, just like Angel Lee's haggardness, maybe there is a story behind it that we don't know. That's life, and it doesn't make you extra lenient just because you've been a champion. Life after retirement can be another challenge for them.
Here, I would like to say to all the retired gymnastics champions: thank you for bringing glory to your country, and thank you for the excitement and pride you have brought us. I hope that in the days to come, whether it is back in the field or in every corner of life, you can find your own piece of the sky and live the life you want.
Finally, the gymnastics champion gathering is not only a simple gathering, but also a review of the past, cherishing the present, and looking forward to the future. Although some of these stars that once shined in the gymnastics world have left the arena, their light is still shining in our hearts.
