At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, "Pudong Xiaoyuan" Zhong Angel fought together with partner Bao Shanju and won the track cycling women's team championship. At the last Rio Olympic Games, China's track cycling project achieved an Olympic breakthrough of zero gold, and it was Zhong Angel, who was born in Huinan Town, who won the championship.
Recently, Angel Zhong, together with his mother and enlightenment coach, was invited to the Pudong New Area Rong Media Center to record a program. In the news studio, Angel Zhong sat on the studio and personally experienced the feeling of a "news anchor".
Speaking of the Tokyo Olympics, Angel Zhong still remembers the moment of winning the championship. She said: "When I saw the five-star red flag raised, the pride in my heart came to me, and when I waved the national flag and circled the field, what I thought in my heart was: to show the world the strength of China and the unremitting struggle of Chinese athletes!" ”
It's hard to imagine that today's Olympic champion is a skinny girl as a child. At the age of 12, Zhong Angel was favored by Wang Haili, a bicycle coach at the Third Major Sports School in Pudong New Area, because he "jumped far", and was recruited into the Junior Sports School.
Morning exercises at five or six o'clock in the morning, cultural classes in the morning, sports training in the afternoon... Although it is very hard, Zhong Angel admits that since deciding to embark on the road of cycling, she has never thought of giving up, and this tenacity has always supported her to cross a hurdle in her career.
In 2019, Angel Zhong broke four ribs during training, even affecting breathing. But under the care of medical staff, she resumed training a week later and returned to her state three months later. "I have responsibilities and obligations that I have to take on," she said. ”
"The most wonderful thing in life is not the moment of realizing the dream, but the process of insisting on the dream." This is angel bell motto, and it is also her favorite sentence, hoping to give to all people who work hard like her.
She said: "I think the moment of realizing the dream is only a moment, a fleeting moment, but the whole process of perseverance is colorful. In the middle, you may experience many failures and setbacks, and you need to constantly overcome it in order to reach the other side of victory. She hopes that everyone can enjoy the process of sticking to their dreams and the joy of winning in the end.
Speaking of her daughter, Mother Zhong was also heartbroken and couldn't help but cry. She said that the family often has Yunnan Baiyao, when the daughter is at home, sometimes the injury will attack, where the pain will spray the daughter.
After stepping off the field, Zhong Angel has returned to shanghai university of sport to study for a master's degree, enriching himself from all aspects and jumping out of the single identity of "athlete". She said that in the future, cycling will continue to be promoted, so that bicycle competition will go out of the professional arena and become a mass sport, so that everyone can enjoy the happiness of "galloping".
