Preface
In the era of peace, the sports arena is a "battlefield without gunpowder", and countless athletes are staged to "fight" for the motherland, and they use the spirit of hard work and tenacious will to make the five-star red flag rise again and again in the stadium.
However, those players who once won glory for the country suffered a lot of gossip after retiring, and netizens pointed fingers at them, even their private lives.
So what kind of "cyber violence" did he suffer that made Liu Xiang, the former world champion, "ask for help" from other male guests on the program group to answer the doubts in his heart?
No. 1 in the world, breaking the event record
Liu Xiang's parents are both athletes, so she inherited good genes and showed amazing talent from an early age, so she was able to enter the Guangdong team to train at the age of 14.
After coming to the professional training base, she trained harder, and did not complain to the coach about laziness because she was young, on the contrary, she often demanded herself with a ruthless spirit, so her results were also improving by leaps and bounds.
Thankfully, the sweat she left over from training paid off, and she achieved a national victory at the age of 16, but this was only the beginning, and she was able to overcome obstacles in both the national and international competitions.
To talk about her glorious moment, this has to mention the Jakarta Asian Games that year, when Liu Xiang surprised China and even the world with outstanding results in the women's 50-meter backstroke final of the Asian Games.
Looking back on that game, Liu Xiang took the lead from the moment she got out of the water, and then gradually opened up the distance between her and the players behind her with her power, and maintained it until the end.
When the body touches the line, we can clearly see that she is close to half a position with the second place, which can be said to be a huge advantage, and she did her best, not knowing that she has quietly created a new world record.
At that time, He Xinzhong, as Liu Xiang's coach, once commented on his disciples:
"Liu Xiang is a good girl with a true temperament, she writes her joys, sorrows, and sorrows on her face, and Liu Xiang also positions herself as a girl who 'dares to say and do' and 'dare to fight and not be afraid of losing'."
is such a confident and sunny sports beauty who calmly faces the pressure, but after retiring, she was broken by the comments of netizens to break her psychological defense.
Sister is the queen, confident and shining
You must know that Liu Xiang faced discussion and pressure before, but he faced it with a smile. Before she retired, she used her strength to respond to those netizens who questioned her again and again.
For many athletes, due to their hard training all year round, coupled with the limitations of the project drama or the influence of training methods, their body or height will be affected, so their appearance is not so outstanding.
As a special case, Liu Xiang has an appearance comparable to that of a star, and has been voted the most beautiful athlete in the sports world by netizens many times, but such an evaluation did not make her feel happy, but became a happy trouble.
Because many people think that she is a real vase, only beauty has no strength, in the face of such doubts, Liu Xiang did not refute it at the first time, but silently improved herself and strived to break the doubts with strength.
After she achieved results, she immediately vented the pressure in her heart in the circle of friends and responded to the remarks of netizens.
Even after retiring due to injury, she maintained an optimistic attitude, but perhaps because the intensity of the previous training was too great, Liu Xiang, who returned to life, had a little "indulgence in himself".
Whether it is in terms of diet or exercise, she always adheres to the idea of being happy, and she is not particularly self-disciplined, which causes her body to slowly gain weight.
Because of this, when she participated in an event later, fans ridiculed her for being like this now, and she didn't have the style she had at that time.
In the face of fans' discussions, I thought that Liu Xiang would be particularly concerned or angry with netizens, but who would have thought that she would just reply lightly, "Although I am fat, I like the way I look now, and I am very healthy."
You must know that no girl likes to hear others say that they are fat, but Liu Xiang does not regard thinness as beauty, which invisibly encourages many people.
Seeing this, netizens think that Liu Xiang is too kind and has very correct values, as a sports star, she always conducts positive energy for her favorite fans.
Later, Liu Xiang often posted beautiful photos of herself on social media, but in order to record her life, she was suspected of hype by netizens, saying that she was crazy about traffic.
Maybe Liu Xiang himself didn't expect that sharing photos is what every girl who loves beauty often does, how did she come here instead of bringing fans to herself, but attracted a lot of criticism, which is really wronged.
So after appearing on the stage of "We Three", Liu Xiang asked the other three male guests, "Then if you sometimes see netizens, or say something unpleasant, how should you adjust it"?
It can be seen that the goddess at this time has obviously been affected by the comments or criticism of netizens, and they have all given their own opinions on this.
Coincidentally, Guan Chenchen, who is also a world champion, has obviously had a lot of differences in figure after retirement. Even she herself said: I weigh twice as much now as I did then.
It may be that the anxiety of her body made her lose confidence for a while, and seeing that the former Olympic hero is now so depressed, Guan Chenchen's friend encouraged her that "even imperfect moments are worthy of praise".
After hearing this, she seemed to be back to her peak.
In the following videos, she always showed her true side to netizens, faced up to her figure, and faced life positively, while blocking some malicious comments from netizens.
Some netizens also left messages of encouragement under her video social networking, hoping that she would be a happy person and not care too much about other people's eyes.
At the same time, I also hope that everyone can give these players who have won glory for the country some respect, no matter what choice they have after retirement, we should not criticize or blame.
Beauty is not defined, we are unique
We should give more understanding and support to these retired athletes, who are also human beings and have their own lives and preferences.
It may be that we don't necessarily like their choices, but they have the right to live the life they want.
Finally, we must know that there is no definition of beauty, and in life we cannot judge people by their appearance, nor can we point fingers or ridicule at others' appearances, let alone impose our own preferences on others.
Not only that, but we should also be confident in ourselves, don't care too much about the eyes of others, dare to face up to our own shortcomings and advantages, and do what we have to change.
