Guangzhou Daily Xinhuacheng reporter learned that Zheng Pengfei is an outstanding athlete trained by the Shunde District Amateur Sports School (hereinafter referred to as "Shunde Sports School") and transported to the Guangdong Provincial Team and the Chinese Team, and Shunde is his "second hometown" and the "place where his dreams set sail" in his kayaking.
"Dry duck" transforms kayakers and looks forward to winning the next Olympic Games and constantly surpassing
On August 3, Chinese athlete Zheng Pengfei and his partner Liu Hao won the silver medal in the men's 1,000m double rowing final at the Tokyo Olympics. This is the Chinese kayak team to win the Olympic medal after thirteen years.
Subsequently, at the 14th National Games held at the end of September, Zheng Pengfei defended the gold medal in the men's 1000m single rowing and won the "double crown".
Zheng Pengfei brought a gold medal class on kayaking to his brothers and sisters
As an excellent kayaker, Zheng Pengfei has an indissoluble relationship with Shunde. It is understood that Zheng Pengfei, who was born in April 1993, is a native of Qiqihar, Heilongjiang. At the end of 2006, Zheng Pengfei came to Shunde Sports School through the introduction of Zhang Dan, the swimming coach of the sports school. When he first came to Shunde, Zheng Pengfei was still a "dry duck" - he could not swim, but the direction of his sport at that time was kayaking, so he was first taught swimming by Coach Zhang Dan, and began special kayak training in early 2007.
As Zheng Pengfei's enlightenment coach in the kayaking project, Mao Guobin, the principal of Shunde Sports School, was deeply impressed by him. In his view, Zheng Pengfei's personality is very prominent, "once he has firmly determined the direction of struggle, he will always insist." For this tenacity on Zheng Pengfei's body, Mao Guobin is very appreciative.
From 2007 to 2009, after special training and training in Shunde Sports School, Zheng Pengfei's various training data have been significantly improved, and his running ability and special ability have gradually increased. At the end of 2009, Zheng Pengfei was selected by Shunde Sports School to be sent to the Guangdong Provincial Rowing Team for training, and at the end of 2010, he became a full member of the Guangdong Provincial Team, "From the training to the formal athletes, it took only one year, after hard training, Zheng Pengfei stood out among his peers." Mao Guobin said proudly. After arduous training, Zheng Pengfei was subsequently selected for the national team.
Zheng Pengfei experienced making Shunde double skin milk
"Shunde is the place where my dreams set sail, and it can be said that without Shunde there would be no me today." When participating in the event in Shunde, Zheng Pengfei was grateful, he said, "Thanks to the cultivation and care of the governments at all levels in Shunde and the Shunde Amateur Sports School, I was able to grow rapidly without a foundation, and finally entered the national team and stood on the Olympic podium." Zheng Pengfei said that he will continue to work hard, hoping to win the gold medal in the Paris Olympics, and also hope to achieve the "triple crown" of the National Games.
Hard training once "wanted to give up"
Constantly encourage yourself to climb the mountain
From Shunde Sports School to the whole province, the whole country, and the world arena, Zheng Pengfei has always been grateful. Zheng Pengfei said, "Kayaking is Europe's dominant project, but in recent years our country has been constantly learning and catching up. During the training of the national team, the coach brought us new technical concepts and gave us a new understanding of the sport of kayaking. ”
"When training on the water, it's often from 3:30 p.m. to paddling until the evening when everyone is exhausted." Zheng Pengfei said, "If you are cruel on the training ground, it will be easier to win on the field, and I have always kept this sentence in mind by the coach." ”
The single-person kayaking program is also about teamwork. "In training, the coach does not ask a certain person to draw particularly fast, but pays attention to the improvement of the overall strength of a team." What impressed Zheng Pengfei was that in a 12-kilometer long-distance winter training, the coach asked everyone to control the intensity and frequency of the paddle, and rowed in a row, but everyone did not do it according to the requirements, after the completion of everyone thought that they could go ashore to rest, but they did not expect to wait for another row, "The training can not be sloppy, the coach's rigor and harshness on daily training have been engraved in my heart." ”
In physical training, overload training has made Zheng Pengfei - this burly boy frankly "tired to want to cry, want to give up", "but every time I want to give up, I will think that my dream is to stand on the highest podium of the Olympic Games, watching the national flag rising, then I will immediately wake up, continue to insist, work hard, every training is spelled out!" "His heart is very firm.
Zheng Pengfei experienced dragon boat culture in Shunde.
"Kayaking is a lifelong struggle, athletes want to win the gold medal to pay more, practice more, become more professional than others!" 」 Over the years, Zheng Pengfei has been spurring himself. This year's Tokyo Olympics is Zheng Pengfei's Olympic "debut", "The Olympic on-site competition is very cruel, and this atmosphere cannot be felt at all without the scene." He said, at the scene of the game, "You paddle me a paddle, there is really a feeling of 'fighting bayonets'!" ”
I hope that Olympic athletes "often go home to see"
"A medal is a body of blood and sweat, and it is also a lifetime of glory!" In Huagui garden, Tang Leijing, member of the Standing Committee of the Shunde District Cpc Committee and director of the Publicity Department of the Shunde District Committee, awarded Zheng Pengfei the honorary title of "Shunde Sports Image Ambassador". She said that Shunde Sports School has trained many outstanding athletes over the years, and at this year's Olympic Games, zheng Pengfei and Chen Qingchen, outstanding athletes cultivated and transported by Shunde Sports School, won silver medals and won the world competition, which is both the pride of the country and the pride of Shunde.

She said that Shunde is accelerating the pace of high-quality development, actively promoting the development and construction of both sides of the Desheng River, and creating a beautiful business card of Shunde's "strong center", "Welcome to go home often!" ”
Enlightenment coaches talk about talent development

As a grassroots sports school, Shunde Sports School will continue to work hard to excavate and cultivate outstanding sports talents, strive to improve the sports school environment, and enhance talent training capabilities.
Praise for Olympic athletes and sportsmanship
Shunde Sports School coach Zhang Zhiyong, the enlightenment coach of Olympic badminton runner-up Chen Qingchen in Shunde, said, "Since Chen Qingchen still has competitions in Europe, she cannot return to Shunde for the time being, and her gratitude and blessings to Shunde are conveyed by me." "It is understood that during the Chen Qingchen Olympic Games, Shunde organized offline viewing and invited Chen Qingchen's parents to come to Shunde," his parents gave me feedback, they felt the enthusiasm and vitality of the city of Shunde. ”
Zhang Zhiyong said that the outstanding athletes trained and transported by Shunde, such as Chen Qingchen, Zheng Pengfei, etc., have excellent quality and lofty goals, which is inseparable from their daily hard training and tenacious fighting spirit, "I have always been in contact with Qingchen, after she participated in the Olympic Games, her mentality and pressure bearing ability have been significantly improved, and I hope that she can achieve a better self in badminton." ”
