Perseverance to achieve the "double crown"
"Yesterday I returned to Shunde Sports School and Daliang Experimental Middle School, the scene was very shocking to me, which is a recognition of my efforts over the years, and will also inspire me to be more tenacious on the training ground in the future and achieve better results." On October 19, in the conference room of Huaguiyuan, Zheng Pengfei, who was about to end the Shunde Charity Walk, was full of spirit in front of the camera.
On August 3 this year, in the final of the men's 1000m double rowing boat at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Zheng Pengfei and Liu Hao won the silver medal for the Chinese team. Subsequently, at the 14th National Games held at the end of September, Zheng Pengfei and Liu Hao won the gold medal in the men's 1000-meter double rowing final, and once again successfully rushed to gold in the men's 1000-meter single rowing final, winning the "double crown".
If an athlete wants to get good results, you have to pay more than others, you have to be more professional than others, you have to practice more than others, and you have the opportunity to win. For so many years, I have been spurring myself in this way, step by step. In the face of achievements, Zheng Pengfei talked most about sticking to his dreams and not giving up. “
In the past, kayaking was not China's dominant sport, and in international competitions, European athletes often won medals. However, this time preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, in order to be able to have a breakthrough in the Olympic arena. During the training in Qiandao Lake, under the strict requirements of the coach, Zheng Pengfei and his teammates insisted on paddling 12-20 kilometers every afternoon.
"Kayaking training is very hard, windy and sunny, and very boring, repeating one action a day." Zhi Yong, coach of foshan kayaking team, revealed that kayaking is a cyclical physical fitness project, which not only requires water training, but also needs aerobic cardiopulmonary training and equipment strength training such as auxiliary long-distance running.
"Training can't be a little sloppy, because the playing field is cruel, the coaches on the training ground are cruel to you, maybe you will win a little easier when you play, and the chance of winning will be a little bigger." Zheng Pengfei said that the hard work of training once made him want to give up, but when he thought of standing on the Olympic podium, the moment when the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, he gritted his teeth and continued training.
After winning the silver medal at the Olympic Games, on the third day of isolation in the domestic hotel, the self-disciplined Zheng Pengfei began to train hard again to prepare for the National Games. Representing Guangdong, he won the championship again in the 1000-meter single kayak race.
"I'm very happy to get this gold medal." Zheng Pengfei said that in his training on weekdays, he is mainly a single boat, and this gold medal not only affirms his personal ability, but also shows the value of his kayaking in China. Next, he will continue to work hard to impact the gold medal of next year's Hangzhou Asian Games, the Paris Olympic Games three years later, and the 15th National Games in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in 2025.
The power of example inspires students
"If you're not in good shape, you can't just lose." Like Zheng Pengfei, who united and fought the field and fought bravely to be the first, there was another Olympic national player Chen Qingchen who came out of shunde sports school.
In the Uber Badminton Team Match on October 17, China reversed Japan 3-1 to regain the Uber Cup. In this match, in the case of a single Chen Yufei losing, the chen qingchen / Jia Yifan combination that appeared in the second game withstood the pressure and fought against opponents Yuki Fukushima and Matsumoto Mayu for a full 117 minutes, and finally won the game, laying a key set for the team to win.
After the game, Chen Qingchen also shared his mental journey on Weibo: This station is really not easy to play with the Su Cup, first of all, the state is not as good as the Su Cup, but a sentence of Dange has been lingering in my mind" "It's not that you can lose casually if you are not in a bad state" "Every time you feel tired, look at the You Cup in front of the left and tell yourself, I can do it, I can, no matter how the final outcome of the game is, as long as you stand on the field, don't give up any point, I do my best..."
Faster, higher and stronger Olympic spirit and the power of never giving up are also inspiring the students of Guangdong University in Shunde. On the morning of the 18th, the students of Daliang Experimental Middle School gathered around their brother Zheng Pengfei and asked for a group photo and an autograph. In the afternoon of the same day, at the Shunde Sports School kayak training base, the teachers and disciples gathered around Zheng Pengfei and listened carefully to his winning secrets.

"Paddle by the back, the hips sit forward." "When physical strength decreases, pay special attention to the angle of the paddle into the water." In a kayak gold medal open class, Zheng Pengfei taught hand in hand.
Wang Guotao is 17 years old this year, he came to Shunde three years ago to learn kayaking, and now he has grown into the backbone of the team. He said that the spirit of hard work and hard work in his brother has deeply infected him, and in the future he will train more diligently and diligently to strive to achieve good results at next year's provincial games.
"A medal is a body of blood and sweat, but also a lifetime of pride and glory, and those who can go to the Olympic arena are heroes." Tang Leijing, member of the Standing Committee of the Shunde District CPC Committee and director of the Propaganda Department, thanked Mao Guobin, Zhang Zhiyong and other Coaches of Shunde Sports School for their hard work, and praised Zheng Pengfei, Chen Qingchen and other Olympic athletes as the pride of Shunde Sports.
Tang Leijing also said that Shunde's urban construction is changing with each passing day, with the landing of more urban projects, the two banks of the new city will become more and more beautiful, and he hopes that Zheng Pengfei, Chen Qingchen and other national players can come to Shunde with their teammates to play during the vacation, promote more special foods such as double skin milk, and send treasures to the teachers and sisters of the sports school to inherit the Olympic spirit.
