From the little sister to the big sister, Zhong Angel won another gold medal for the Chinese cycling team

In the just-concluded Tokyo Olympics track cycling women's team racing competition, Zhong Angel and her partner Bao Shanju performed well, all the way to the championship. Five years ago at the Rio Olympics, Angel Zhong and Gong Ginger achieved a breakthrough of zero Olympic gold medals for Chinese cyclists, and today, she and her new teammates have won the championship again. But who knows how hard angel Zhong has gone in the past five years from the original little sister to today's big sister.

As he grew older, Angel Chung also suffered from injuries during the Tokyo Olympic cycle. On the eve of the opening of the 2019 World Track Cycling Championships in Poland, Angel Chung suffered a rib fracture during his last pre-race training session before departure. In addition, she suffered from waist injuries and knee injuries. But even though her physical condition is not as good as five years ago, she still chooses to persevere and do her best for the Olympic Games. In October last year, Angel Zhong's mother, Yang Wenjuan, said bitterly on the phone: "You are injured, you won a gold medal last time, and this time you will be sloppy." Unexpectedly, Angel Zhong immediately became serious when he heard it: "This is not 'coming to the race (can)'!" How can we, who represent the country, say anything so-so? ”

Before following the Chinese cycling team to Tokyo, Zhong Angel said that compared with Rio five years ago, this time he was more relaxed in mentality, "This time the state is getting better and better, physically and psychologically more prepared, ideologically, will not be like the last Olympic Games think so much, so big baggage, this time more enjoy the race, I hope to give young players, more positive energy, positive things, in the Olympic arena to impact it." ”

Five years ago, Angel Zhong followed Gong Ginger as a little sister, and now, with the partner with Bao Shanju, who is 6 years younger, Angel Zhong seems to have become a big sister, "I hope she is more relaxed, don't carry baggage, and feel the atmosphere of the first Olympic Games more." In life and training, I will let her relax, joke with her more, and let her state relax into a more relaxed atmosphere. It is worth mentioning that the combination of Zhong Angel and Bao Shanju was not finalized until May this year, although the strength of both is very strong, but in the case of insufficient run-in time, it is not easy to finally achieve such results.
