Preface
With China's rapid development, China has become a force to be reckoned with in all areas of the world, even in sports competitions, which are known as "wars" in peacetime:
In the last few Olympic Games, China has basically firmly occupied the first place in the medal table.
And the credit is naturally none other than the mainland athletes, who have used their vigorous posture to continue to fight and win countless glory for the country.
But the so-called "no first in literature, no second in martial arts", among the many outstanding athletes in the mainland, which ones are the most outstanding?
Next, we will introduce several legends recognized in the mainland sports world as "unprecedented and unprecedented"!
Xu Haifeng
At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, all the spectators were holding their breath and nervously looking at the Chinese athlete named Xu Haifeng on the field:
Sweden's Rarogner Skanaker, a double Olympic and World Champion in the Games, fired all the bullets just now and had a very good score of 565 rings.
And Xu Haifeng has one last shot left, and his current score is 556 rings, which means that if he wants to win, then he must play 10 rings!
At this moment, Xu Haifeng only felt that the gun in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, he understood what his gun represented, even if he was experienced in the game, he felt a bit of nervousness.
As Xu Haifeng raised his arm and put it down, he raised it again and put it down again, until the fifth time, he finally pressed the trigger - 10 rings full score!
The audience immediately erupted in fierce cheers, which was not only the first gold medal of the Olympic Games, but also the first gold medal of the whole China in the Olympic arena, achieving a breakthrough of "zero".
Xu Haifeng's victory made the Chinese national anthem sound for the first time in the Olympic arena, and it was also the first time that the five-star red flag was raised.
This was beyond everyone's expectations at the time, the audience did not expect it, the athletes from all countries did not expect it, the Olympic officials did not expect it, and even Xu Haifeng himself did not expect it.
Many years ago, he was just a child who was often taught by his parents because of his love for slingshots, but now he wears the national flag, represents the country, stands on the world's top arena, and wins the supreme glory for the country with his own hands.
Xu Haifeng's success has brought great self-confidence to countless Chinese athletes, and also announced the official beginning of China's road to becoming a sports power, and his name will always be remembered in people's hearts and never forgotten.
Liu Xiang
Before the Athens Olympics, almost all athletics events were monopolized by American and African countries, which led many people and even the whole world to think that this was a racial advantage, and it was impossible for the yellow race to win the championship from the hands of whites and blacks.
But Liu Xiang, the "flying man", changed all this with his performance:
In the 110-meter cross-chain race, he tied the world record at that time with a time of 12.91 seconds and successfully won the championship, proving to the world that yellow people can win the championship in track and field competitions, and yellow people do not lose to anyone!
This excellent performance shocked the world, which not only made Liu Xiang the pride of the mainland, but also the pride of all Asian countries, including Japan and South Korea.
Liu Xiang did not slack off on his training, winning 36 international championships in his 16-year career as an athlete, breaking the European record several times, and breaking the world record in 2006.
Even Liu Xiang became the only Grand Slam winner in the world in the 110-meter hurdles, making the world talk about one thing: "The world flyer is a yellow-skinned Chinese!"
This recognition from the international community is also reflected in the poster of the 40th anniversary of the World Athletics Federation: Liu Xiang and Usain Bolt, who are recognized as the strongest track and field athletes, are at the center.
Although in 2008, Liu Xiang's retirement due to injury caused a lot of controversy, but his glory cannot be ignored and cannot be forgotten, and he will always be the pride of our Chinese nation!
And Liu Xiang's story has also inspired and led the progress of the entire Asian track and field field, and his contributions can be called "great".
Rōhei
As we all know, the mainland is best at ball games, mainly "three small balls", that is, table tennis, badminton, tennis, especially table tennis, the mainland can be said to be invincible in the world.
However, the results of volleyball, football, and table tennis, which are more popular in the world, are somewhat worse in comparison with the mainland.
But with the emergence of "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping, the mainland has improved in volleyball:
As a member of the women's volleyball team at that time, she not only led the team to win the third World Cup championship, the ninth World Women's Volleyball Championship, and the gold medal of the women's volleyball team at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, but also won many honors such as "Outstanding Athlete" and "MVP".
But Lang Ping's volleyball honor journey did not end there, she returned to China to serve as the coach of the women's volleyball team, and led the women's volleyball team to win many international championships, and in 2016, she led the women's volleyball team to regain the Olympic championship after many years.
Winning an Olympic title as a player and coach, Lang Ping has been the subject of some controversy for coaching the U.S. team, but her results are undoubtedly in a unique class and a veritable legend in the women's volleyball world.
The "women's volleyball spirit" led by her has become a banner of Chinese sports, inspiring generations of Chinese athletes to step forward bravely and win more honors for the country.

If you want to say who is the strongest in table tennis in the world, it must be China, and if you want to say who is the strongest in table tennis in China, it is undoubtedly our dragon team Ma Long.
In his many years of athlete career, Olympic champions, world champions and other honors are not even anything to him, as the first men's table tennis Grand Slam winner in history, a double Grand Slam winner, winning the championship is as simple as breathing and drinking water for him.
Even though he is now old, Xu Xin and Zhang Jike retired one after another in the same period, but Ma Long has not changed in the slightest, and when facing the Korean genius Lim Jong-hoon, he still easily beat with a score of 11-1.
Even Japan, which has always been at odds with us, can be described as "invincible" in its evaluation of Ma Long, a regular hexagonal warrior without any weaknesses!
Even the young and vigorous table tennis star in the mainland did not feel ashamed at all when he lost to Ma Long, a senior, but thought it was an honor.
It can be said that as long as Ma Long is on the field, all the spectators believe that this game is over, and Ma Long is probably the only one who can be so dominant.
Liu Changchun
Whenever the name Liu Changchun is mentioned, I can always think of the scene of a lonely representative of the country appearing in the Olympic arena, and I can't help but have a sour nose.
Liu Changchun was born because of the poverty of his family, in order to save shoes, he always took off his shoes and ran to the school barefoot when he went to school, and over time he exercised superb running skills, not only breaking the record of Dalian, but also defeating Japanese players many times, defending the dignity and glory of the country.
When the 10th Olympiad was held in 1932, due to the emptiness of national strength and the Japanese fascists were also eyeing the game, it was decided not to participate in the competition.
Unexpectedly, the puppet state of Manchuria supported by Japan kept revealing rumors that it was going to send player Liu Changchun to play, which immediately aroused the anger of the people, and they asked the government to send people to participate in the competition, and at the same time kept accusing Liu Changchun.
But in fact, before this, the Japanese even went directly to Liu Changchun's father and threatened to let Liu Changchun fight on behalf of the puppet Manchukuo, but he was sternly refused.
After spreading rumors in Japan, Liu Changchun directly expressed his attitude in the newspaper: "If the conscience of Gou Yu is still there, and the blood is still flowing, how can we forget the motherland and become a puppet and a puppet country!"
Liu Changchun and Yu Xiwei then became the first athletes to represent China in the Olympic Games, but under the obstruction of Japan, only Liu Changchun successfully arrived in Shanghai, and then secretly went to Los Angeles to participate in the competition.
At the opening ceremony on July 30, 1932, Liu Changchun competed as the only Chinese athlete, and many foreign spectators couldn't help but laugh at the majestic delegations of other countries and Liu Changchun alone.
But in the face of these, Liu Changchun walked into the arena with a serious expression and simple eyes, just to announce to the world: China is coming!
Although he rushed to participate in the race after a long period of travel and no time to rest, Liu Changchun was not able to achieve good results in the end, and many people even thought that he had disgraced China.
But in fact, from the time Liu Changchun crossed many difficulties and obstacles from Japan to reach the arena, he had already won, and he declared to the whole world that the Chinese would never give in!
Just like what the Shanghai newspaper said at that time: I, a Chinese athlete, went to the meeting alone this time, thousands of miles to the mountain, the national fortune is difficult at this moment, I hope you will move forward bravely, and I hope that in the future I will stay away from such suffering!
Now that we have done it, the athletes continue to work the field, so that the Olympic championship even seems a little accustomed to the mainland, sports are proud of the world, and the mainland is constantly improving its national strength, and no longer put the former opponents in the eyes.
What can be met is that with the development of the times, the mainland will continue to move forward in accordance with the trend of the times, and no one can stop it!
