In the women's tennis singles competition at the Paris Olympics, Chinese athlete Zheng Qinwen successfully reached the top and created the history of Chinese tennis. Zheng Qinwen said in an interview with small-scale media on the 4th that he has been chasing superstars such as Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, and Li Na. Although she won the Olympic gold medal this time, she still has a lot of dreams that have not been realized. "One thing I always say to myself is, don't be satisfied with a championship, you have to push your limits." Zheng Qinwen said.
Zheng Qinwen first talked about the feeling of winning the championship in an interview, she said: "The life experience and feelings brought to me by this Olympic Games are incomparable, and they are all moments that will always be remembered. After that, no matter what kind of difficulties I encountered, even if I was at a low point, I still remember the process of winning the championship. Because in this process, the fighting spirit and will quality shown are the most important. ”
"I've been fantasizing about being alongside superstars like Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Li Na for the last year, and I've been working hard to prove myself at the Olympics," Zheng said. I'm proud to be able to lead a new generation of tennis now. ”
A reporter asked whether there would be a lot of pressure on him after winning the Olympic Games and how to face it? Zheng Qinwen replied: "I don't think it's difficult, because I'm not considered to be famous in a fight." I've won a lot of championships before this victory, and I have a lot of experience. At the same time, I've had a lot of failures, and I'm not so proud of this title that I don't know where I should be. It's my dream to be an Olympic champion, that's true, but I have other dreams waiting for me to achieve. ”
On Zheng Qinwen's growth path, her parents gave her a lot of support and encouragement. Zheng Qinwen also recalled the situation when he was a child. She said: "In terms of tennis, my family has cultivated me step by step, and when I was about 14 or 15 years old, my father wanted to sell his house for me to play tennis, because he saw that I had great potential in this area, and the family would do everything to fulfill my tennis dream." I have always been grateful to my parents because they have always supported me and believed in me in very difficult circumstances. ”
A reporter asked Zheng Qinwen if there was a moment when she wanted to give up on the road of growth, and her answer was a little unexpected: "It's very strange that I have come all the way, even when I lost the game and cried hard, I never thought of giving up, when I was 12 or 13 years old, I remember that my father once said some angry words, he said that he would not fight after playing like this." I said, no, give me another chance, I'll be able to play well next time. So I've always been the one who can go on, and no matter what position I'm in, my love for tennis won't diminish. It makes me cry, it confuses me, it makes me doubt myself, yes, but the moment of victory will come one day, I have been looking forward to it for so long, I have worked hard for so long, like the moment I won the Olympic title, I think it was all worth it. My dream is far from over. One thing I always say to myself, don't be satisfied with a championship, push your limits. ”
