Guan Guan reporter continued to represent the hometown people "Lian Mai", Sichuan table tennis player Wang Rui sent back the latest developments tonight, as well as her Olympic village life easter egg! This is Wang Rui's second time in the Paralympic Games, just spent his 28th birthday during the game, mentioning the current wish, naturally hoping that his team can stand on the top.
Fast forward to 2008, when 15-year-old Wang Rui was still preparing for the exam in a classroom in Shifang, a huge earthquake struck and several prefabricated boards hit her legs hard. When her family found her more than a decade after being buried under the rubble, her right leg muscle had died and she had to be amputated. More than a month later, Wang Rui installed a prosthesis and was able to stand and walk again. Originally relatively quiet, she once became particularly inferior, unwilling to go out, afraid of seeing other people's strange eyes, her father paid the tuition and packed the bed to send her to high school, but she resolutely chose to quit school. At the end of 2008, Wang Rui was doing prosthetic rehabilitation training in Chengdu, and Zhou Zaixing, coach of the Sichuan Provincial Disabled Table Tennis Team, came to visit, thinking that Wang Rui was a good seedling and wanted to mobilize her to practice table tennis. At the lowest point of his life, Wang Rui wanted to go out and try it, and finally under the coordination of the Disabled Persons' Federation at all levels, he paid his respects to coach Zhou as he wished, and the "one-legged female general" officially took the first step to change the road of life.
Due to the late start and no basic skills, Wang Rui's table tennis career almost started from scratch, and in order to catch up, she trained for no less than 8 hours a day. After the amputation, Wang Rui suffered from "phantom limb pain", and the high-intensity training rhythm exacerbated this pain, "just like a lot of needles stuck in the right foot, lying on the bed tossing and turning, but the next day still have to train on time without moving." "The amount of exercise is too large, the body is often constantly rotating in the prosthesis, it is common to break the skin and bleed, and the disinfectant potion will be taken wherever it goes." Table tennis is very elaborate and tricky angle of the ball, legs and feet are inconvenient and rush to grab the ball, a little careless will fall on the ground, "when playing, I often forget my disability, grabbing the ball is like an instinct, you don't try and you won't know enough to get." ”
In 2010, wang rui participated in the Sichuan Provincial Games, which was her first time to participate in an official table tennis competition and won her first gold medal. In 2013, Wang Rui was selected for the national team for his excellent performance and left his hometown. Engaged in table tennis competition for nearly 13 years, Wang Rui has gradually emerged with a stubbornness and hard work, and has won the incheon Asian Games, world championships and other honors, won the women's standing 7 singles championship in the table tennis competition of the 3rd Asian Para Games in 2018, won the women's standing 7 singles championship at the Asian Para table tennis championships held in 2019, and also won the ticket to the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
The one-legged women will be reborn in table tennis, and this arena is not only about her skills, but also about her strong heart. At the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, we waited for the good news together.
