32-year-old Chinese men's mountain biker Mi Jiujiang
Among the Chinese sports delegations participating in the Paris Olympics this time
It can be called a "special existence"
Although he did it on the 29th local time
Men's mountain bike trail race
Only 33rd place
However, this does not hinder
One can use his legendary experience
Encourage more people to dare to pursue their dreams
9 years ago
Yonee had just graduated from university
Lost in choosing a career
If not for a special love for mountain biking
He may have already obtained his teaching certificate
He returned to teach at a middle school in his hometown
In college
Mi Jiujiang studied social sports at Zunyi Medical University
He also joined the track and field team at that time
And because of a chance to get into contact with bicycle riding
I've been fascinated ever since
During the holiday period
Mikue likes to ride and climb the hill in the village in his hometown
Many folks are curious
Some people also think that he is "blind toss" and "has no future"
But when graduating
Between a stable job and a life as a drifting rider
He still resolutely chose his dream
Since 2016
Mikue is in a business club in Guizhou Province
Officially started cycling training
When I was in college, I had experience in sports such as middle-distance running and rock climbing
When he first entered the "car world", he made rapid progress
At the time, though
Yone's club
It can only be barely sustained by the prize money won by the players participating in commercial events
There is a lack of funds, materials and many other guarantees
Once, Mikue sprained his ankle during training
After the injury, the ankle was swollen
It was learned that there was no team doctor in the club
In order not to interfere with training
He could only continue to wash the wound with cold water
Grit your teeth at the last point
He "stuffed" his swollen foot into his shoe
Or back to the training ground
Set a small goal each day
Then work on it
This is the "secret" of Yonekue's gradual growth from a grassroots rider
There may be only one small step of progress each day
But hard training day after day, year after year
Tempering and polishing his strength
and unswerving will
In 2017
Tianjin National Games to Mi Jiujiang such a non-professional team player
The doors were opened
It was the first time to compete with a national professional player
Mikue finished 18th
At the Shaanxi National Games in 2021
The sparrow finally flew into the sky
Mi Jiujiang defeated national team member Lu Xianjing
Won the gold medal in the National Games
Since then
He began to look forward to the Olympic Games, a top stage
Want to be a good mountain biker
Endurance, explosiveness, and skill are all indispensable
Mountain biking is a combination of a lot
A project of special technology for bicycle projects
Practice mountain biking
In addition to training in the mountains
Riders are also trained for road cycling
Boost your aerobic levels
In addition, the downhill technique of BMX
It will also help a lot to improve your performance
In Mikue's opinion
Excellent mountain biker
It's like a complex "machine" in precision
There is currently no reason for the emergence of world-class high-level mountain bikers on the mainland
It's because it's not really fully figured out yet
The way the parts of the "machine" work
As a champion of the National Games and Asian Games
Mikue was eventually lassoed in Paris
Had to leave the track early
But he said
I have done my best in the Olympic arena
After speaking, he stretched out his arms to the reporter
It means that the left and right arms have been fractured in the past two years
The arm with the arm guard was a new injury
On the arm without an arm guard
A scalpel scar more than ten centimeters long is particularly eye-catching
Completed the "first experience" of the Olympic Games
Mikue says he won't necessarily leave the ring anytime soon
Although he occasionally sighs "where has the time gone"
I feel that my explosiveness and physical strength are not as good as before
But he still wants to use the experience he has accumulated over the years
Compete with young players
He said he was a beneficiary of the reforms and the times
I look forward to "giving back to society" with what I have learned as soon as possible
In recent years, the sports department of Guizhou
The promotion and popularization of mountain biking is being accelerated
Every winter and summer vacation
The sports department will be dedicated to teenagers
The training course lasted for nearly two months
Mikue said
He believes that as long as the junior players are focused and focused
The future will surely lead to success
He also wants to help and lead young people
In the future, we will stand in a higher position
Help him achieve a dream that he couldn't achieve
