Zhao Yunlei, once praised as the "doubles queen" of badminton in the mainland, has won many Olympic gold medals with her outstanding strength, which not only intimidates her opponents, but also became the first "double slam" athlete in the history of mainland badminton.
Despite her invincibility in the ring, in life, she encountered an unexpected emotional turmoil. The incident of being "poached into the wall" by girlfriends shocked many netizens.

Her life story is full of drama, and her emotional journey can be described as full of twists and turns in the face of the double betrayal of her close friends and lovers.
However, as the so-called Seon lost his horse, he didn't know whether it was a blessing. Today, 38-year-old Zhao Yunlei has become a winner in life, enjoying the happiness and warmth of her family.
Zhao Yunlei, this name is legendary in the mainland badminton world. With her courageous style of play and outstanding results, she occupies a pivotal position in the national badminton team.
The accolades and achievements she has received are the dream of many athletes. Time flies, and Zhao Yunlei is no longer the athlete who dominates the arena.
Now, she has faded the aura of a champion and is focusing on family life, husband and children. Recently, she shared a video with a baby on social media, which sparked heated discussions among netizens.
In the video, Zhao Yunlei takes her lovely daughter to enjoy a leisurely weekend in the aquarium. She has a happy family life and is accompanied by a loving husband and a lovely daughter.
This state of life makes many netizens envious, and at the same time, it also reminds some people of the sensational girlfriend digging up the wall.
So, what is the reason for Zhao Yunlei's best friend to attack her first love? What's the story?
Zhao Yunlei was born in 1986 and comes from a sports family. Her father was the vice principal of the Yichang Sports School, and her mother was a tennis coach.

Growing up in such a family atmosphere, Zhao Yunlei naturally developed a strong interest in sports. Since she was a child, her parents often took her to the stadium to train and strengthen her physique.
Although her mother wanted her to learn tennis with her, Zhao Yunlei had a soft spot for badminton. Seeing that their daughter loves badminton so much, her parents fully supported her choice.
Under the professional guidance of the coach, Zhao Yunlei's badminton skills have been significantly improved. With her innate talent and hard work, she quickly stood out in the sports school and became a leader in the badminton world.
The coach was also amazed by her talent, calling her a "badminton prodigy". At the age of 10, Zhao Yunlei successfully entered the Hubei Provincial Badminton Team with her excellent badminton strength.
In this team full of masters, she had a setback, but it was these experiences that strengthened her faith and determination.
After hard training and unremitting efforts, Zhao Yunlei was finally selected for the national team. In 2004, she officially entered the national badminton team II and began a more rigorous training life.
Every day, from Monday to Saturday, she trains at high intensity for up to six hours. The coach has always regarded her as a "seed player" and focused on training.
Two years of hard work have finally paid off. At the 2006 Asian Youth Badminton Championships, Zhao Yunlei represented the national team and successfully won the women's doubles gold medal, winning honor for the country.
After that, she successfully entered the national first team and met another heroine, Tian Qing. The two were of equal strength, so the coach formed them into a women's doubles pair for training.
After a long period of training and competition, they gradually became best friends and tacit partners, achieved excellent results in various competitions, and successfully ranked among the top 10 in the world badminton rankings.
Subsequently, in the German Open and Indonesian Premier League, they won two golds and one silver. When the badminton rankings were announced again, the combination of Zhao Yunlei and Tian Qing directly rushed to the throne of world No. 1.
Their tacit cooperation and outstanding performance have won wide praise. In badminton, there are not only men's and women's doubles events, but also mixed doubles events.

At that time, the coach decided to let Zhao Yunlei train the men's and women's mixed doubles pairs with Zhang Nan of the men's team. The two cooperated tacitly in training, although Zhang Nan was younger than Zhao Yunlei, he had always taken care of her, making her feel very warm.
They have won a number of mixed doubles championships and gold medals, showing their strong strength. The long-term training and competition gave Zhao Yunlei and Zhang Nan a deep affection.
They take care of each other, support each other, and occupy an important place in each other's hearts. In the end, they decided to be together, and the news was also warmly congratulated by fans.
After the official announcement, they received widespread attention and blessings. At the 2013 Sudirman Cup Mixed Team Championships, the duo took the lead and put in a great show.
At that time, attentive fans had already discovered that the rings on their hands were all on their ring fingers, and they may have completed the marriage event. However, things didn't go as smoothly as everyone expected.
Not long after the official announcement, the two announced their breakup because of their emotional disagreement. This news has left countless fans who are optimistic about them feeling sorry and disappointed. And what is even more shocking is that Zhang Nan was with Tian Qing shortly after breaking up with Zhao Yunlei.
This incident has aroused widespread heated discussions and controversies, and the doubts of "digging into the wall" are endless. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zhao Yunlei, and Zhang Nan and Tian Qing did not make any response to this incident.
Netizens accused Tian Qing of being a "third party", and this incident had a certain impact on Zhao Yunlei's training and life.
At the Rio Olympics, Zhao Yunlei lost due to frequent mistakes, after which she chose to retire. After experiencing this series of setbacks, Zhao Yunlei ushered in a new life.
Hong Wei, a junior brother 3 years younger than her in the national team, pursued her, and the two knew each other well and shared a common language and experience.
With Hong Wei's unremitting efforts, the two finally succeeded in holding hands and completed their wedding in 2018, and their marriage has also received the support and blessings of countless fans.
Epilogue:
Now Zhao Yunlei and Hong Wei live very affectionately and have a lovely daughter, in her career, she also served as the national team badminton coach, and continued to contribute her own strength to the badminton career.
