As we all know, China is a big country in sports and a strong country in sports. The Chinese gymnastics team is the king of the Chinese sports corps. In the history of Chinese gymnastics, there have been many outstanding athletes, and the protagonist of our article, Sang Lan, is one of them.
Sang Lan, who entered the national team at the age of 12, has shown extraordinary talent in the field of vaulting. She has won the first place in vaulting at the National Championships and the National Games. If all goes well, Sang Lan is also very likely to follow the Chinese gymnastics team and participate in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
But because of an accident, Sang Lan's fate took a 180° turn. It was at the Sino-US Friendship Games, in the warm-up session before the preliminaries, gymnastics champion Sang Lan tried a difficult forehand flip straight front flip body 180° movement in order to show her excellent condition.
But when Sang Lan completed all the movements and landed, because of the loss of his center of gravity, Sang Lan fell heavily from the air to the ground, fell unconscious on the spot, and was then sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Such a sudden accident completely changed Sang Lan's fate. And this accident was also ruthlessly used by Sang Lan and became the fuse for her to ask for huge compensation, what is going on?
It turned out that Sang Lan had made up lies many times after the accident. She first blamed the Romanian coach, who she believed had removed the mat when she was missing. Judging by the footage, the Romanian coach did not do this. Since then, Sang Lan has pointed the finger at the United States Gymnastics Association and the organizers of the Friendship Games.
In short, Sang Lan used all kinds of reasons just to ask for huge compensation. From the initial $10 million to the final $1.8 billion, Sunland is also a lion's mouth. Of course, this accident changed Sang Lan's fate, and in the last second, she was still a much-anticipated gymnastics star. In the next second, she fell into the abyss, and after high paraplegia, she became an ordinary person who needed to use a wheelchair to maintain her life. Such a big gap, for anyone, I'm afraid it is unacceptable for a while.
Of course, the reason why Sang Lan found various reasons to obtain compensation is not incomprehensible. After all, she can no longer win glory for the country as an athlete, and even she has lost her basic ability to work. If she doesn't ask for compensation, how can she spend the rest of her life in peace.
But Sang Lan deceived the world for 17 years, and it wasn't until her game video was made public that the world understood that it turned out that all this was made up by Sang Lan. Of course, Sang Lan's goal was achieved, and she received $10 million in compensation, but her reputation was ruined.
In retrospect, Sang Lan did do something wrong, and she shouldn't have shifted the blame to anyone. But it is precisely because of the case of Sunland that the continuous improvement of commercial accident insurance for Chinese athletes has been promoted. Today, the 43-year-old is still active in the public eye. She has a happy family, a loving husband, and a lovely son. Although the outside world's evaluation of Sang Lan is still mixed. But time can dilute everything, and the past will eventually pass.
