The world's three largest and lowest-key Olympic champions in China's Olympic history. He is also a running champion with Liu Xiang but little is known. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang tied the world record to create a myth, all the Chinese were excited, and countless people cheered for him. At this highlight moment, everyone ignored another champion, she is the biggest dark horse of the Athens Olympic Games, the women's 10,000 meters champion Xing Huina.
At only 20 years old, she participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, and among the many powerful players, she seemed too small, and her eyes revealed shyness and lack of confidence, so that no one noticed her, no one thought that the girl who was unknown in the corner would shock everyone with her actions.
The starting gun sounded, all the players rushed to the first echelon, China's famous Sun Yingjie and African players rushed to the front, ranking in the top five of the first group, while Xing Huina silently followed the middle position of the echelon, not outstanding. Long-distance running has always been a strong point for African athletes, who constantly use tactics such as lead, shifting and acceleration to try to interfere with the rhythm of other runners during the competition.
At the beginning of the race, almost no one was optimistic about her, because in the just-concluded 5,000 meters, she only finished in ninth place, which is why ethiopian athletes regarded her as a small role.
In the game, Xing Huina performed mediocre all the way, and she did not see the slightest advantage, no one knew that she had a huge energy hidden in her, and the foreshadowing of the game was also buried at this moment.
Halfway through the race, marathon world record holder British veteran Radcliffe directly withdrew, and at 3,000 meters, another Chinese runner, Sun Yingjie, was physically exhausted and gradually fell behind.
The first few athletes didn't have time to look at the players behind them, unaware of the imminent threat that Xing Huina posed to them. As the race progressed to the last few laps, the top three were all Ethiopian players, many of whom were trapped by the leader, and Xing Huina still silently followed the team. They also mistakenly thought that Xing Huina was a Chinese player who was trapped, and everyone guessed that the champion would be selected among several Ethiopian players.
Only four hundred meters away from the finish line, the foreshadowing of the race was revealed at this moment, entering the final sprint stage, as soon as xing Huina entered the corner, she began to gradually accelerate, surpassing the Ethiopian runner with a strong sprint less than 100 meters in the last 100 meters, surpassing the Ethiopian athlete with a personal best of 30 minutes 24.36 seconds.
Ethiopian player Di Baba even raised his hand to celebrate when he crossed the line in the second place, thinking that he was the champion, and after the game, he took out the national flag and draped it on his body for the first time, at this time they still thought that Xing Huina was thrown around, until they passed the mixed interview area, they learned that they were not the first, and they awkwardly put away the national flag in the same place and silently left the competition venue.
Xing Huina was silent, and when she passed the camera, this well-behaved little girl who was so well-behaved that people loved her said a touching sentence: "Daddy, I won."
How cute this simple and strong girl is, and who can understand the hardships she has suffered?
At the age of 20, she stood on the world's highest podium, breaking the situation that the 10,000-meter run was ruled by black people, but Liu Xiang's light was too bright that she became the most neglected world champion in Olympic history.
