The Qujiang girl, who is usually silent, makes important decisions at the intersection of life
Huang Yaqiong, born in 1994, has parents from Quzhou, Zhejiang, and his father Huang Ruizhong has also been engaged in badminton for a long time and is currently the head of Xinyan Badminton Club.
After watching the live broadcast of the semi-finals, Huang Ruizhong's heart was put down a little, "So many years of preparation, that is, for the Olympic Games to win glory for the country, to win this gold medal, whether it is Wang Yilu, they or Thinking, Yaqiong, are worth our happiness for them." ”
Huang Yaqiong's parents watched her game
"When I was a child, when I saw people playing badminton, she stood there motionless, and maybe her badminton complex already existed at that time." According to Huang Ruizhong recalled. When she was a child, Huang Yaqiong was not lively and confident, and at first she did not expect that this little girl who did not like words would show talent in badminton. When the parents saw that their child really liked to play, they sent her to a badminton club near her home, and this fight went all the way to the sports school.
In 2002, 8-year-old Huang Yaqiong began to follow Cao Ji, a retired athlete from Zhejiang Province, to receive systematic badminton training. Enlightenment coach Cao Ji commented on her: "She is a person who is more agile, has a fast learning ability, is very conscious, and when practicing football, she goes early to late, asking herself to practice for a while." ”
In 2004, Huang Yaqiong, who made rapid progress, was recommended by Cao Ji to the Zhejiang Provincial Sports School, and Huang Yaqiong also made an important decision at the intersection of life and entered the provincial sports school for further study. In April 2006, Huang Yaqiong was officially selected for the Zhejiang Badminton Team.
Huang Ruizhong said: "She didn't play very well at the beginning, but the coach kept giving her encouragement, and she slowly improved her level through her own efforts. The moment she won the national junior championship, I was very excited. ”
Huang Yaqiong also thinks that she is not a talented player, and after entering the provincial team, she found that the team was full of masters, and her physical condition was not outstanding. When asked what beliefs sustained her insistence on practicing badminton, she said, "It's the coach." It was the coach's affirmation that gave her motivation, and it was the coach who chose the "doubles" path for her, and at that critical stage of growth, she entered the most suitable training system.
Every game in the country father must be on the scene
Father Huang Ruizhong respects every choice of his daughter, and after his daughter was selected for the provincial badminton team, he decided that he would go to the scene every game of his daughter in the country to encourage and cheer for his daughter.
When her daughter won the national championship for the first time, it was the most exciting moment for Huang Rui, and her eyes showed unstoppable pride and relief, because only her daughter and herself could understand the hardships of this road.
"At one point, she said she didn't want to fight. I told her, you may be tired now, if you still tell her tomorrow that I don't want to practice, then we will go back, I respect your opinion. The next day, she said to me again: Dad, I'll continue to practice. Huang Ruizhong said.
The daughter's hard work and persistence were finally exchanged for the joy of harvest.
Since winning the mixed team championship of the Asian Badminton Championship in 2011, Huang Yaqiong ushered in a "big harvest" and won many championships in succession. Since partnering with Zheng Siwei in 2017, it has opened a crazy championship harvesting mode, not only winning the world championship twice, but also helping the national feathers regain the Sudirman Cup championship, and becoming the first combination in the history of badminton to win all the super 1000 events and super 750 championships, and the world ranking is also the first in the world for a long time.
Huang Yaqiong has a sweet, well-behaved face that seems to be non-aggressive, and even in competitions, it is rare to see her shock opponents with shouts like other athletes. But it is such a Sven girl who shows a lethal side on the badminton field.
Huang Yaqiong in life is still a star-chasing girl, on Huang Yaqiong's Weibo, she will not only send selfies, but also share some photos of idol artist Wang Junkai from time to time. Fighting the field, in private, is actually a soft and cute girl.
