Stick to the original intention, chase the dream without regrets

Shi Tingmao

Perhaps from the moment my grandfather gave me a name analysis when I was a child, I more or less understood the meaning of winning glory for the country. Grandpa told me that "Ting" means "country", "Mao" refers to hard work, and the meaning of "Tingmao" is to hope that you can work hard to contribute to the country. In this way, the mission of winning glory for the country was like a seed that slowly took root and sprouted in my heart. When I grew up and had the ability to stand on the stage of international competitions such as the Olympic Games, the World Championships, and the World Cup, I more deeply realized how glorious it was to shoulder the heavy responsibility of winning glory for my country!

In every competition, I fought tenaciously and bravely to be the first, successfully stood on the highest podium of the women's 3m board of the international diving event, achieved a grand slam, won honors for Chinese diving, and added glory to the motherland. Singing the national anthem and watching the five-star red flag fly high was my happiest and unforgettable moment. In 2010, I honorably joined the Communist Party of China. This is another highlight for me to be proud of, and at the same time I feel that I have a heavier responsibility. I always remind myself to remember my original intention and mission, and these 8 words are also very important mottos on my life path.

The championship is not a fluke, but a hard work of training bit by bit every day, and every day the athletes of our Chinese diving team are training hard to prepare for the battle. As the captain of the women's team, I am leading by example and setting a good example for the young players, and I want to pass on the fine traditions of the Chinese diving team over the years and defend the glory of the motherland.

Two Olympic gold medals, five Asian Games gold medals, eight World Championship gold medals, six World Cup gold medals and many more national gold medals... Although I have achieved the goal of a Grand Slam, the mission and dream need to be continued and passed on. I chose to stay, to stay in the plunge pool I love. I firmly believe that choice is also a strength. Tokyo Olympics will be my second Olympic Games, about to step into the "year of the establishment" I am already the oldest member of the current team, injuries bring me more and more challenges, physical recovery speed can not catch up with the young teammates, but these can not stop me, I strive to make the daily training and rehabilitation treatment more refined, more scientific, more efficient, continue to maintain a good competitive state and combat effectiveness.

No matter how many difficulties and challenges we face, I believe that with the strong motherland as our strongest backing, and the unchanging original intention as an inexhaustible driving force, my teammates and I will certainly live up to the trust and mission, and continue to write the glory of Chinese diving in Tokyo!
