Recently, gymnastics champion Li Xiaoshuang said in an interview with a media talk show: "After retiring, you should forget that you are a champion!" ", and then triggered a heated discussion among netizens.
In the gymnastics competition of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, a li Xiaoshuang, who was not well known, made him famous with a set of perfect movements, winning the only gold medal for the Chinese men's gymnastics team. Since then, the era that belonged to the gymnastics all-around King Li Xiaoshuang has begun, becoming the proud son of that era, leaving us with too many wonderful memories in that era.
Every gymnastics champion is not easy to succeed, they put in too much effort on this road, but often the champion's road has too many bumps. Li Xiaoshuang regrettably retired in 1997 due to a foot injury, perhaps this choice made his former self full of too much reluctance and helplessness.
Asked in an interview: "What to do after retiring, he bluntly said that he did not think about it. "Travel around the country, scatter your heart, you have to scatter for several years, not to come back at once, suddenly leave, it will be sad," Speaking of here, Li Xiao's eyes were red, and it was inevitable that there was some sadness in his heart when he talked about sadness.
He brainwashed himself every late night after that: it had nothing to do with gymnastics, you weren't bullshit anymore. Without the status of world champion, everything has to start from scratch, he also said: How many champions will understand the sophistication of people? See you just because of the face of the champion, really do things or need real money and silver strength, society is so realistic, everything still has to rely on themselves, have to start from scratch.
Li Xiaoshuang had no choice but to retire due to injury, once for life, everything had to start from scratch, he had made records, opened an advertising company, founded a clothing brand, helpless he was almost unable to return to his hometown Xiantao to open a gymnastics school, but there was still a gap of 1 million every year... He said: "After retiring, I should forget that I am a champion, and I can only create it myself!" ”
Seeing this, netizens are deeply affected by this spirit, and those who can deeply perceive his heartache. Messages one after another: "The champion is able to flex and stretch the party to be strong!" "Have self-confidence, have a pattern, have a conscience"
In the video, see him introduce to the current gymnastics school children have become less, once the most time there were more than 200 people, now only 50 people, there are reasons for the epidemic and hardware equipment, he believes that the most important thing about sports is technology, but the current aging equipment, the lack of sports equipment does not affect the children's exercise, whenever he talks about here, he always feels full of guilt and self-blame.
Once brilliant achievements, but in the end to return to reality, although Li Xiaoshuang in adversity of him, everything from the beginning of his new, never said defeat, this may be a champion has always had a strong spiritual support in his heart.
