[She is an authentic Beijinger, a "sassy" Beijing girl, nicknamed "Kui Datou"; she is a typical post-80s, like to take the usual road; she has a happy personality, can often smile openly and smile when things happen, and use humor to resolve bitterness; she won the World Championships with injuries and lost the Olympic Games due to injury; coached the Malaysian gymnastics team, and pushed the team to the championship throne, but she retreated in a rapids; the cross-border development in life is wonderful, playing racing has experienced a life and death line... A few days ago, Beiguang characters interviewed this legendary gymnastics world champion and entered her legendary life. 】
"Walk to the bottom of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise." This poem comes from the Tang Dynasty's Wang Wei's "Farewell to the South". At the beginning of the new century, like many successful athletes, Kui Yuanyuan encountered the first and most important transition period in her life, that is, retirement. When the water is poor, when the clouds rise, it is an objective conflict that has to be faced. After "walking" can "sit and watch", the acquisition of this kind of mentality requires subjective wisdom. What is valuable is that Kui Yuanyuan did it, and instead of sitting and waiting, she opened her legs and said she would go.
Knowing how to make trade-offs is easier said than done. Faced with a choice, some people are passive, some people are active, and Kui Yuanyuan has chosen to take the initiative. The years at the beginning of the century can be described as another shining point in Kui Yuanyuan's career, she entered the university but chose to drop out, she was invited to coach the Malaysian national gymnastics women's team, and in a short period of time, the team was pushed to the championship throne. "There are too many regrets in life, and certainly not all things can be satisfactory, rather than suffering from gains and losses, it is better to take the initiative." I think that life after I retire is even more exciting than my career as an athlete. Kui Yuanyuan said.
The Beijing girl's spontaneous and free side, speech and demeanor, immediately showed.
Finding oneself requires courage, courage and boldness, but it is also accompanied by twists and turns and hardships. Talking about her life after retiring, Kui Yuanyuan said: "I chose to retire in September 2002, and after retiring, I entered the French Department of the University of International Business and Economics. At that time, the athletes retired and had the opportunity to go to the university to continue their studies, I had a relatively simple idea, I thought it was more useful to learn a foreign language, other students had a high starting point in English, learning French in the university everyone started from scratch, and French is also the official language of the Olympic Games. I was very interested in cross-border learning at that time. Learning French may have a more romantic component of personality, I think that after learning French, I can go to France to experience art and fashion, and many of the rules of the Olympic Games were created by them, and Coubertin's ode to sports is still my favorite recitation to this day - ah! Sports, the amusement of the gods, the source of life, you suddenly descend on the forest clearings inhabited by the busy crowds all day long, you are like a radiant messenger, smiling and greeting the twilight people... You see, how beautiful it is. However, after entering the university, I found that my previous idea was too simple to keep up! At first, when the vocabulary was relatively small, I could keep up, but when I became an English teacher, I was dumbfounded, and the foreign teacher taught in English, I couldn't keep up, and it was difficult to complete my studies without care. I am a competitive person, I really can't tolerate feelings that are much worse than others, rather than wasting four years, it is better to forget it, so after studying for half a year, I chose to take the initiative to leave school.
After I took a break from school, I went to the Capital Institute of Physical Education to study physical education. During this time, the coach of my previous Beijing Sports School happened to teach children to practice gymnastics at Chaoyang Sports School, and there was a shortage of manpower, so he asked me to help. During this period, Mo Huilan introduced me to a job, working as an assistant general manager in a foreign company to promote college sports events. Later, I transferred to Xuanwu District Sports School, which also taught children to practice gymnastics. One day, I suddenly received a long-distance phone call from the vice president of the Malaysian Gymnastics Association. He was a Chinese man who I used to run into in competitions when I was an athlete, so he remembers me and calls me through a Chinese coach who works in Malaysia. He asked me how I was, and then he asked me if I would be interested in coaching the national women's team in Malaysia and helping them improve their results, because they had not won the Southeast Asian Games championship for fourteen years and had always been suppressed by Singapore. I thought at the time that a good athlete doesn't have to be a good coach. Teaching children to practice gymnastics, I already have experience, so why not challenge it and see if it is okay to bring a higher level of yourself. So he agreed and went to Malaysia to be the head coach of the national women's team.
I went to Malaysia in 2013 and coached for two years. Originally, they wanted to hire me to coach for 5 years, preparing to win the championship of Southeast Asia at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games in their home country. But after two years of coaching, I led the team to win the gymnastics women's team championship 2 years ahead of the road at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games in Singapore, which is ahead of schedule. In fact, when I first arrived in Malaysia, I had a headache, because unlike the Chinese team, the people who were selected were elites, and the best players in Malaysia were the national team, the foundation was relatively poor, the level was uneven, the day was taught by hand, and at night I had to watch the video to study and think about how to do it. Then there is leaving Beijing to such a far place, a lonely person, uprooted from home, very unsuitable, the salary is not high, and the money is basically spent on my return to China to visit relatives.
While coaching in Malaysia, I was also injured. Because the conditions in Malaysia are not good, there is no assistant or male coach on the side to protect the athletes in training, then I can only go on my own, originally these are the jobs of male coaches. I don't have a partner, I have to take four sports alone, and some actions require male coaches to pick up athletes so that athletes can feel this way. At that time, in order to protect the athletes, when I jumped from a high place, my feet suddenly fell off. It was still a rest day in Malaysia, and there was no one in the infirmary, and there was no doctor for half a day. Later, when I arrived at the badminton hall, I met the personal doctor of Li Zongwei, a Malaysian badminton player, who suggested that I go to the hospital for examination. Later, while filming in a private clinic, it was found that the ankle fracture was mixed with misalignment and required rapid surgery.
At that time, it was close to the Spring Festival, I had already bought a ticket to visit my relatives back to China, in order not to delay the illness, nor to delay my return to visit my relatives, the next day I went to the hospital for surgery, which had steel plates and nails. Later, I took a wheelchair and took the disabled passage to the plane to visit my relatives back to China. After coaching in Malaysia for more than two years, the first time they participated in important competitions with the team, they could help them defeat their rivals Singapore on the road, allowing Malaysia to win the women's team championship again after 14 years! And in the end, it was not easy to exceed the competition task with three gold, two silver and three bronze results! After two years in charge in Malaysia, I chose to return to China, and although they kept me repeatedly, the goal of winning the Southeast Asian championship has been won. I'm a person who likes to challenge new things, likes to go off the beaten path, and doesn't want to waste time on it anymore. After all, my family and children were in China, so I came back. Life doesn't have to be perfect, as long as the process is wonderful, nothing is as real as happy as yourself. ”
Our car landed on the ground after a high-speed jump when the car spun out of control and crashed off the track. The car rolled over, I was unconscious, I was pressed down, the car was smoking at the time, fortunately it did not catch fire and burn, otherwise it would be all over.
"Where is Chang'an?" Only under the horseshoe. This verse comes from the Tang Dynasty border poet Cen Shan's "Remembrance of Chang'an Song". In recent years, if you want to find a word to mark the former gymnastics champion Kui Yuanyuan, it is undoubtedly: crossover. Not only frequent cross-border, but also rapid cross-border, every time from scratch, go all out. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the horse is ten rides, and the merit is not to be given up.
There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. In Kui Yuanyuan's view, hope lies in hard work, success lies in persistence, and as long as everything is persevered, the process may be more exciting than success. Promote ice and snow sports, practice skiing; go paragliding and get the country's top flight certificate; join a sports communication company as a sports program host; enter the Institute of Musical Instruments and try to find resonance points between music and sports; participate in motorsport and win the national championship. Of course, in the middle of the racing race, there was also a life and death line, and he was seriously injured. For this series of cross-border attempts, for adventure, Kui Yuanyuan has her own unique opinion: "I was seriously injured in my car and hospitalized, and the doctors all advised me to ask me if I was injured or went to the race?" I said go, I must go! The doctor was anxious and said that you still dare to go!? In fact, for racing accidents, I am not afraid at all, and there is no psychological shadow. I like the feeling of galloping, and in my bones is the genes of athletes, so that I never give up and do the best. ”
The confident and independent personality of the Beijing girl is all in her words.
In 2010, Kui Yuanyuan first came into contact with racing at a commemorative event, became interested in the sport, got the race photos after professional training, and has since followed the rally race. Talking about racing and crossover, Kui Yuanyuan said: "Since returning from Malaysia, I have tried to challenge a lot of things that I have not been exposed to before. I went to a ski training institute where I did event operations and did the work of a ski instructor. Many people are a little curious, I am engaged in gymnastics, why I chose ice and snow, and I am still engaged in front-end operations. I think about it this way, I'm a person who likes to challenge myself and like to inspire myself with endless possibilities. I love skiing myself and want to study the ski industry. To promote skiing, I want to start from scratch. In fact, everyone said that I did a good job, was very patient with the children, and had a deeper understanding of the industrial chain, which also paved the way for me to enter the sports industry in the future. Of course, another benefit is that I have good skiing skills, snowboarding is easy to get on advanced roads, and I like the feeling of galloping. I like sports related to the sense of speed, paragliding I am a super player, and I have also received the relevant national top certificate. I love the feeling of flying freely overlooking the earth. The athlete gene in my bones makes me never give up and do the best.
Because of the experience of athletes, I also like to challenge myself, so I joined a sports event company that was ready to hit the main board from the new third board to do the promotion and operation of the sports sector. In addition, I challenge the work of the moderator. Speaking of hosts, I would like to thank my friends who used to do shows at CCTV5, who often handed me some press conferences, dialogue interviews and other hosting activities. Last year in Tongzhou, the Beijing International Film Festival Boxon Sports Film Screening Series activities, to do a dialogue column about the sports industry, because of the content involving the economic field, cross-field knowledge, I can only learn and sell now, it is very difficult and collapsed. But my friends all encouraged me, saying that Yuanyuan you must be able to do it, and your posture on the stage was decent and generous, very infectious. Fortunately, athletes have the ability to reach their potential in desperate situations, so during that time I often memorized lines at night and practiced in front of the mirror, and the experience was really interesting.
I began to contact racing in 2010, when I accompanied my friends to the Xuecheng Station in Shandong Province, after seeing the thrill and excitement of the racing competition, I have loved the sport of racing ever since. At that time, I didn't want to be a professional racing driver, but I only occasionally went to play with a ticket and occasionally followed a race. At that time, I began to contact the work of racing pilot and learned a lot of professional knowledge of piloting. Later, when he went to Malaysia to teach gymnastics, the car was thrown down for a long time. After returning from Malaysia in 2015, there happened to be a racing rally in Beijing Huairou in August, and the Suzuki team's driver He Yong lacked a navigator, so he sent a circle of friends and said to find a navigator. I happened to know him, and I joked, "Do you think I can do it?" He said that was too good! That's it. I cooperated well with He Yong, went abroad to teach these two years to come back, my idea of doing piloting seems to be clearer, and I have a certain foundation for being a pilot before going abroad. But unexpectedly, there was a danger that time, and it was a passing point with the god of death. I remember very clearly that on August 21, 2015, during the race, our car crashed out of control and crashed off the track after a high-speed jump to the ground. The car rolled over, I was unconscious, the right door where I was was was pressed down, the car was smoking at the time, fortunately it did not catch fire and burn, otherwise it would be completely finished. Later, everyone turned the car over and pried open the door before pulling me out. I didn't know all this, and I was in a coma for more than ten minutes. Later, the ambulance of the race quickly took me to the hospital for diagnosis, and the result was that I had three rib fractures on my right side and I lay in the hospital for more than 20 days. I remember when I woke up, I found that there were already many people around me, Pan Xiaoting, they all said, Yuanyuan, your look is really scared to death. I'm an adventurous person and shortly after I was discharged from the hospital, I was back on the track. Climbers often have a famous saying: because the mountain is over there. Actually, I want to say the same thing, because the track is over there.
On January 18, 2016, I finally won the medal in the N2 group of the China Rally Championship in Jixi. Now I can proudly tell you that I have the best gymnastics in racing. In addition, this is the second time I have won a championship after a gap of 13 years, which should be unique in the racing world. ”
I think he's a very thoughtful and down-to-earth person. Like our age, rhetoric, no longer cold, already very rational, a little more reliable.
"Intertwined silk knots dragons and phoenixes, and weaves clouds and clouds." An inch of concentric wisps, a thousand years of longevity flowers. This is the famous work of the Poet Yu Xin of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, "The Poem of the Knot Line Bag", which means that the Qin and Jin dynasties are good and the eternal knot is concentric. Last year, Kui Yuanyuan harvested love, a happy life, and a smooth career, and this "Poem of Knotted Thread Bag" reflected her state and mood.
Beijing girls have a solid eye and a sincere disposition towards others, which is nothing more than this.
In 2018, Kui Yuanyuan met and married the famous guitarist Chen Lei. Talking about this fate, Kui Yuanyuan said: "One day in February 2018, at a dinner party organized by a friend, I saw Chen Lei for the first time, and I didn't know who he was. For the music industry, for rock 'n' roll. I don't know very well either.
During this period, we got to know each other through work contacts. Married on May 23, 2018.
Later, when Beijing held a women's marathon, I was the image spokesperson of the event, and that day Teacher Chen gave me a surprise, he conspired with the organizers to propose to me through video link on the spot without my knowledge. The event sponsors also carefully prepared the rings for us. Even if it is a marriage proposal ceremony, it is very simple and very special. (Source: Beiguang People)
