Preface
Sang Lan turned out to be a member of the national women's gymnastics team, and one of the most famous things about her should be that she was injured in an accident in 98 and was a high paraplegic, and she also hired a special lawyer to claim $2 billion in compensation afterwards.
But 17 years after the incident, it caused a storm again, what is going on?
Sudden accident, fall and paralysis for life
Born in Zhejiang in 1981, Sang Lan has been very interested in gymnastics since she was a child, and was sent to their local junior sports school when she was less than 6 years old, and two years later she entered the junior sports school in Zhejiang Province with excellent results.
After less than half a year, Sang Lan was selected into the Zhejiang Provincial Team, entered the national team in 1993, after several years of training and training, Sang Lan began to participate in large-scale competitions, 97 years, in the national vaulting competition, Sang Lan won the championship in one fell swoop.
In the following years, while participating in domestic competitions, he also represented China many times to foreign exchanges, but in 1998, there was a sudden accident.
That year, Sang Lan went to New York to participate in the American Friendship Games, and during the pre-game training, Sang Lan did a vault move, but his head hit the ground, and after being sent to the hospital for examination, it was found that he had caused a cervical vertebra fracture and a high paraplegia below the chest.
This incident was a major accident at that time, which attracted the attention of many media in the world, and later held a press conference for this purpose, and the organizing committee also sent eight authoritative figures to attend.
The people of the organizing committee said to many media that this was an accident, but Sang Lan had different opinions in his mouth.
Sunlan said that he was a Romanian coach named Belu at the time, and he removed the mat in the process of doing the vaulting move, but Sunlan had a certain inertia and could not stop, which was greatly disturbed.
But when he put this problem in front of Coach Belu, he said that it was Sang Lan who used too much force when he did the movement to get injured.
Since there was an accident, Sang Lan, as the victim, should claim compensation, but this was originally a normal case, but in the end it turned into a "farce".
Claim of $2 billion, "drama" becomes "farce"
In 2011, Sunland hired a lawyer named Haiming to help him file a lawsuit against a number of companies such as the United States Gymnastics Association, as well as Liu Guosheng and other individuals, mainly asking them to pay Sunland $1.8 billion in compensation.
This amount is an astronomical amount at any time, but not long after this incident, Sang Lan added and sued some netizens, and the total amount of compensation demanded was as high as 2 billion US dollars.
But the months that followed were extremely dramatic, as Ms. Sunlan dropped charges against companies one after another, while also reporting that she had been sexually assaulted, but after more than four hours of transcription, New York prosecutors refused to file a case.
Then Sang Lan's lawyer Hai Ming broke the news on his personal social account on the Internet, saying that Sang Lan had "complained" to him many times, saying that he had suffered domestic violence, and that he would go to the United States to join Hai Ming.
Obviously, these two were like brother and sister before, but after only a few months, the relationship plummeted, and they were like "enemies". Sang Lan was originally the plaintiff, but now she became the defendant, and the lawyer Hai Ming sued her for arrears of attorney's fees and harassment.
Afterwards, Sang Lan's boyfriend and agent Huang Jian also publicly responded that he would find a suitable lawyer to take over, but as time passed, there was no news about this matter.
Upgraded to mother mother and child safety
At the beginning of 2014, Sang Lan posted a picture on her personal account on the Internet, which was a photo of her own big belly, and between the lines was the expectation and hope for the child's imminent arrival.
In fact, there were rumors about this before, and the media also went to her husband Huang Jian to inquire, and Huang Jian said that because of Sang Lan's personal particularity, many things are still inconvenient to disclose.
In April, Sang Lan successfully became a mother and gave birth to a baby boy in Beijing, and the mother and child were safe. As soon as this news came out, Sang Lan once again stood at the center of public opinion, not only because she was a celebrity, but also because of the particularity of high paraplegia.
You must know that before Sang Lan had a caesarean section, there were only 175 mothers in the world who had a high paraplegic pregnancy and had a caesarean section, and none of them were successful, and Sang Lan was undoubtedly a lucky one.
After just a year of such a warm and happy life, it was broken by the past.
17 years later, re-reveal the past and share the recent situation with short videos
In 2015, 17 years after Sang Lan's injury, her guardian Liu Guosheng, who was in the United States at the time, suddenly published the video of the incident on the Internet, and said that American physical fitness experts said that Sang Lan's injury had nothing to do with the mat, and it was all Sang Lan's mistake.
There is also a sports scientist in the United States who said that Sang Lan fell and injured because she stepped on the wrong pedal position, and the jump was 20 centimeters earlier than usual, and it was because of this mistake that her was disabled, and the former "transnational sky-high lawsuit" also caused controversy again.
Regarding this matter, Sang Lan herself also responded, saying that this matter is not a few pictures at all, or there is no absolute wide-angle video to prove, and it may become a rumor if you listen to it and believe it.
Obviously, Sang Lan once took the initiative to ask for the videotape, but the coach at that time said that he could not find it, and he would be able to find it again after more than ten years? All kinds of factors show that the real reason for Sang Lan's injury may never have a definite answer.
Fortunately, Sang Lan returned to her own life later, and during the 18th year, she often posted warm photos of herself and her family on a social platform, and she could see that her child was slowly growing up, and she was also a naughty little boy.
However, then Sang Lan "shifted positions", and until today, Sang Lan basically publishes her daily life dynamics on a short video platform and Toutiao every day.
The accompanying video is herself, and recently, she will record a video of dozens of seconds every day, telling everyone about her lifestyle, and sending her blessings to all netizens, hoping that everyone will have a smooth life.
In the video, it can be clearly seen that even if she is getting older, her skin is still well maintained, and she is smiling, and I believe that the current life must make her happy.
epilogue
As an athlete, it is my duty to win glory for the country, but things like injuries are something that no one wants to see, no matter what, I still hope that everyone can pay more attention to people with disabilities like Sunlan.
This will help to better accommodate athletes with disabilities who have no means of support.
