There are quite a few athletes who have been expelled from the national team, but most of them are due to disciplinary issues.
This athlete named Pi Hongyan, from the provincial team to the national team, won the "championship" all the way.
After returning to China, she was poured cold water by the coach, and she was expelled because of her "too short height".
After that, she began to move to Europe, winning 14 gold medals for France, not to mention, and becoming China's "fierce rival".
What is the reason for this result, is it manipulated by someone behind it, or is it deliberate?
The skin of Wansheng "Sports City" is Hongyan
In 1979, Pi Hongyan was born in a family in Wansheng, Chongqing, although she was a "hot girl" Pi Hongyan, but because of her poor physique when she was a child, she did not develop a "spicy" character like a Chongqing girl.
More time, Pi Hongyan just likes to sit quietly in the corner and read, which may also be due to the influence of her parents.
But because of Pi Hongyan's physique and quiet personality, her parents were more determined to send her to exercise, and thought about what kind of project would be more suitable for her.
You can't have too much exercise, and as a girl, the safety system must be high, first of all, the family first thought of "badminton".
In this way, Pi Hongyan signed up for an interest class to learn badminton under the arrangement of her parents, but she didn't expect such a decision not only to make this girl fall in love with badminton, but also to become a "world champion" who won glory for the country in one fell swoop.
Since Pi Hongyan came into contact with this project at the age of 8, she has been deeply fascinated by badminton, as if she had found her own "passion" in a peaceful life.
In addition to going to school all day long, she is pulling her family or friends to play feathers together, and at a young age, she has easily "beaten" an adult to shame herself, as if she has this talent since she was a child.
Originally, it was just to improve his physical fitness, but he didn't expect to "play crookedly" and meet his real favorite hobby, Pi Hongyan, who is obsessed with playing ball every day.
Not only is her football skills very good in the entire children's group, but she is often cultivated by the coach as a "good seedling", just like that, when she was only 12 years old, she became the "pillar" of the class, and she was naturally looked at by the Sichuan Provincial Team and went to a bigger stage.
In the provincial team, Pi Hongyan's ball skills are a little "difficult" among many leaders, especially in the external conditions, Pi Hongyan, whose height has not been dominant among many peers.
It seems that she understood this very early, especially after she trained hard in Sichuan Province from the age of twelve for six years, Pi Hongyan, who was already an eighteen-year-old adult, was actually 1.64 meters tall, and it seemed useless to strengthen her nutrition.
It is precisely because of this that in Pi Hongyan's heart, she clearly knows her disadvantages, so during her time in the provincial team, she constantly wants to win more people's recognition by strengthening her skills more.
In 1997, Pi Hongyan successfully entered the national team with excellent results, and she was ready to win glory for the country, but she never thought that her "diligence can make up for clumsiness" was like a joke in the end.
Represented France in the "desperate" battle
In 2008, at the Beijing Olympics in China, of course, Pi Hongyan also appeared, but what is unexpected is that Pi Hongyan represents not her motherland, but as China's competitor "France".
And it is this Pi Hongyan who has become the biggest opponent of Chinese Zhang Ning in the final, although the final winner of this game is still Zhang Ning of the Chinese team, but it is with very little deviation, even Zhang Ning thinks that the biggest opponent in this game is Pi Hongyan, who is also Chinese, what is going on?
In fact, Pi Hongyan, who entered the national team in 1997, had an unexpected thing happening, which also changed her future fate.
Pi Hongyan in the national team has not relaxed in the face of her hobbies, but among many strong people, her efforts are more prominent, because she has always kept in mind the truth that "diligence can make up for clumsiness".
In 1999, under the leadership of the coach, Pi Hongyan also went to the United States to participate in the "Badminton Open", which was also her first time as a Chinese "national representative", for which she was also fully prepared.
The coach gave ridiculous reasons
The results of the competition are naturally good, Pi Hongyan won the championship of the Open Championship in one fell swoop, I thought that what was waiting for her would be "cheers of victory", but what people didn't expect was that after returning to China, she was directly poured cold water by Coach Wang Junjie, not to mention, and was severely punished.
Coach Wang Junjie fired her directly because of Pi Hongyan's height, and Pi Hongyan couldn't think that things would develop into this result even if she wanted to break her head, but she could only "eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and she couldn't say anything about her suffering".
Although he also begged to let go of his dignity, the coach still resolutely made a "dismissal", there was no way for Pi Hongyan to become a "child without a home", and she could only find a way out.
Faced with her dream, Pi Hongyan was more resolute, and at the recommendation of a friend, she went to a badminton club in Denmark alone to develop.
Under the leadership of excellent "ball skills" and many years of experience, Pi Hongyan has successfully become a pillar of Denmark, not only receiving a generous salary but also becoming a good player favored by the French national team.
Represented the French team in a number of tournaments, and directly won the championship, with 14 championships in the bag.
In this way, we saw the scene of two Asian faces at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which may be worrying, and it was not until 2012 that Pi Hongyan officially chose to retire.
epilogue
After retiring, Pi Hongyan did not forget her dreams, but also began to pursue her ideals, even if she was 30 years old, she wanted to fulfill her wish of not going to college.
At the same time, he also met the love of his life, which was also a French athlete, Nicolas, and the two had a son and a daughter after marriage, and now the family of four is happy.
