Preface
As a national-level badminton player in the mainland, Lin Dan, Cai Yun, Chen Long and others have won several gold medals for China.
These athletes who have won glory for the country are very familiar to us, and we are no strangers to the women behind them.
Several of them are also world champions, and Chen Long's wife is even more like Wang Zuxian.
So, who are the wives of these national badminton athletes?
Lin Dan's wife, Xie Xingfang
Xie Xingfang was born in Guangdong Province in 1982.
Xie Xingfang and Lin Dan officially married in 2010, you only know that Lin Dan is a Chinese national badminton player, but do you know? Xie Xingfang was also a national badminton player.
Xie Xingfang has always been the only daughter in the family, although her family is not very wealthy, but her parents love Xie Xingfang very much, so she has lived a very happy life since she was a child.
Xie Xingfang has been a lot taller than her peers since she was a child, and when she was in the first grade, the school's badminton teacher Chen Guoliang found out about her and invited Xie Xingfang to play badminton.
Since then, Xie Xingfang has lived a day of school during the day and training at night, because of her height, Xie Xingfang soon became the first place in the school badminton team.
In 1994, Xie Xingfang, who was only 12 years old, won three championships in women's singles, doubles and team at the Guangdong Provincial Games, and became famous.
Because of her outstanding skills, Xie Xingfang was selected by the Guangzhou badminton team and started her professional badminton career.
In 1997, Xie Xingfang was again selected for the Chinese national badminton youth team.
Later, Xie Xingfang was selected by the national team to enter the second Chinese badminton team because she won the women's doubles championship at the World Youth Championships in Melbourne with Zhang Jiewen.
It was also here that Xie Xingfang met Lin Dan.
At that time, Xie Xingfang was a real long-legged beauty, and she was very famous in the entire national badminton team, and Lin Dan also heard her name.
In a training session, Lin Dan happened to meet Xie Xingfang, who was also training in the badminton hall, and he fell in love with Xie Xingfang at first sight and began a fierce pursuit.
At the beginning, Xie Xingfang had no interest in Lin Dan, and she didn't see him in the face of his overtures.
But Lin Dan didn't give up, he accosted Xie Xingfang every day at the right time, trained with her, bought water for Xie Xingfang, and cared about whether she was tired.
In the end, Xie Xingfang was defeated and agreed to Lin Dan to be together.
After being together, Xie Xingfang and Lin Dan trained together every day and ate together, becoming an enviable pair in the badminton team.
In the final of the 2009 Asian Badminton Championships, Xie Xingfang lost to Zhu Lin and won the silver medal in the Asian Championships, and in October of the same year, in the badminton women's singles of the 11th National Games, she lost to Wang Lin and missed the top 4 of the National Games.
On November 22, 2009, Xie Xingfang found that her condition was getting worse and worse, and finally chose to retire.
The following year, Xie Xingfang and Lin Dan registered their marriage, and in 2012, the two held a grand wedding in Beijing.
After marriage, the two lived very sweetly, but the good times did not last long, just when Xie Xingfang gave birth to a cute boy on November 4, 2016, on November 18 of the same year, Lin Dan was exposed to cheating.
This was a huge blow to Xie Xingfang, who had just finished giving birth, but she quickly cheered up.
Xie Xingfang responded to Lin Dan's derailment incident, saying, "Our family will support this man who dares to take responsibility and will change his mistakes, thanks to the care of friends and fans, our family is in the same boat through thick and thin." ”
Now the two are still husband and wife, but the relationship is not as good as before.
Cai Yun's wife Wang Na
Friends who are familiar with figure skating should know something about Wang Na, who is known as the "No. 1 beauty in figure skating".
Wang Na was born in Sichuan in 1984 and has been very talented in swimming since she was a child.
In 1988, Wang Na was recommended to the provincial sports school to learn synchronized swimming.
In 1992, Wang Na was selected into the Sichuan Provincial Flower Tour Team to participate in the 8th National Games, but unfortunately Wang Na had Henoch-Schonlein purpura.
At that time, Wang Na hesitated to give up her favorite flower tour, but she was still unwilling and finally recovered under the careful care of her parents.
So how did Cai Yun and Wang Na, two people who can't beat each other?
Although Wang Na is a synchronized swimmer, she also needs to exercise the strength of her upper limbs, and one day in the gym, the two met.
Cai Yun, who was lifting a barbell at the time, fell in love with Wang Na at first sight, and after many inquiries, he learned that Wang Na was a flower swimmer.
After getting the news, Cai Yun began to pursue Wang Na fiercely after meeting Wang Na through a friend, and more than 20 text messages before going to bed every night are the norm.
In the end, Wang Na was moved by Cai Yun and agreed to Cai Yun's pursuit.
In 2010, after Wang Na retired, the two registered their marriage, and Wang Na would accompany Cai Yun in every competition, and the two were still very sweet even after so many years.
Zhang Nan's wife, Tian Qing
In 1986, Tian Qing was born in Hunan, and she is a badminton player like Zhang Nan.
Because Tian Qing's father is a badminton player, Tian Qing has been practicing badminton since he was a child, and he was selected for the national first team in 2006.
After that, Tian Qing's life was like a hanging, winning many world-class gold medals for China all the way.
At that time, Tian Qing and Zhang Nan caused a great sensation when they were together, because Zhang Nan's previous girlfriend was Tian Qing's partner Zhao Yunlei.
The relationship between the three people was also speculated by the outside world, but none of them responded.
In 2018, Zhang Nan posted his and Tian Qing's marriage certificate on social platforms with the text: "For the rest of your life, the wind and snow are you, and the blandness is you!"
The official announcement of the two has been blessed by everyone, and now the two often post their lives on the platform, which can be seen to be very happy.
Chen Long's wife Wang Shixian
In 1990, Wang Shixian was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and is a badminton player like Tian Qing.
Wang Shixian may not have won as many championships as Tian Qing, but she is also the main force of the national team, and because Wang Shixian is beautiful, she also has the title of "the first beauty of the national feather".
Because Wang Shixian and Chen Long entered the national team at the same time, Chen Long was attracted by the young and beautiful Wang Shixian, and when he was training, his eyes looked at her unconsciously, and then Chen Long pursued Wang Shixian.
Faced with Chen Long's pursuit, Wang Shixian, who already had a good impression of Chen Long, quickly agreed.
In 2014, in the face of reporters' questions, Chen Long admitted his relationship with Wang Shixian.
After the Rio Olympics, Wang Shixian and Chen Long officially got married.
In 2019, Wang Shixian gave birth to a boy named Xiao Coffee, and now the life of the two is also very sweet.
