In the women's 10,000m final of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Xing Huina was the first to cross the finish line and win the gold medal. However, ethiopian runner T-Di baba, who followed him, celebrated wildly after crossing the finish line.
Speaking of which, T-Di baba was born into a long-distance running family, and their family has produced many world champions, and she is also a well-known leader in the world long-distance running project. As for Xing Huina, she was lonely and nameless, and no one paid attention to her at all.
In fact, at that time, the most powerful Chinese athletics women's long-distance runners had to count Sun Yingjie. She had won several gold medals in national and international competitions before competing in Athens, and she and Xing Huina were both Women's 10,000 Meters runners at the Athens Olympic Games.
In that race, Sun Yingjie ran fiercely at the beginning, always leading the first group with 3 Ethiopian runners, while Xing Huina adopted a trailing tactic and always followed the first group. In the middle of the run, Sun Yingjie gradually fell behind due to lack of physical strength, while Xing Huina continued to follow the 3 Ethiopian players closely.
Soon, the 3 Ethiopian players began to accelerate, snaring the laggards behind. As the competition progressed, there were more and more players who were trapped, and because Xing Huina was not famous, they did not notice her at all, and they always regarded her as a player who was trapped and did not recognize her life, so they did not care about her.
In the last lap, Xing Huina began to accelerate the run, and surpassed 3 Ethiopian runners, the interesting thing is that these 3 Ethiopian runners still do not pay attention, but still very confused, are all trapped, why are they still running so hard?
Soon, Xing Huina crossed the finish line, and then T-Di Baba also crossed the finish line. Then T-Di Baba thought she had won the championship, so she dressed in the national flag and began to celebrate wildly, and even when she trotted through the mixed interview area, she happily expressed her satisfaction with winning the gold medal in the face of reporters' questions.
However, when the staff soon told T-Di Baba that she was the runner-up and that the real champion was Xing Huina, who crossed the finish line first, she was dumbfounded with a look of ecstasy.
For this witty scene, many people, after laughing, think that if the 3 players in Ethiopia were originally strong, they were logically much stronger than Xing Huina's strength, and if they did not despise Xing Huina, they had every opportunity to card Xing Huina at the last moment. In that case, it would be very difficult for Xing Huina to break through, so the gold medal would fall into the hands of Ethiopian players.
According to this statement, it seems that Xing Huina bai picked up a cheap one. So, is Xing Huina the champion of Bai Pick?
In 1984, Xing Huina was born in Weifang, Shandong Province, to a poor peasant family, and her parents were honest farmers. Grandpa was an old revolutionary fighter who fought in the Battle of Huaihai in his early years and was later demobilized from his wounds. In addition, Xing Huina also has a well-behaved and cute sister. Although the three generations of the family live very hard, they care for each other and love each other, so the family also lives happily.
When she was a child, Xing Huina had a pair of big round eyes and fair skin. Plus she's so cute, so she's very likable. At that time, although Grandpa was older, he still insisted on running every day because he formed a habit of exercising in the army. For the safety of her grandfather, Xing Huina, who is sensible, automatically became a runner. At that time, she was young, because of the pain of her grandfather, so she ran with her grandfather every day, although running was very boring, she enjoyed herself, no matter how fast her grandfather ran, she chased forward like a fawn. In this way, Grandpa invisibly exercised Xing Huina's running speed and endurance.
In 1994, Xing Huina, who was already in primary school, participated in the primary and secondary school athletes as a school representative because she was very good at running. Unexpectedly, in the process of the game, Xing Huina's sneakers were stepped on by other players, and she, who wanted to win the championship, could not turn back to pick up her shoes, continued to run forward barefoot, and finally ran to the finish line first. Since she had been running barefoot, by the time she reached the finish line, the soles of her feet had worn out the skin, but she still had to endure.
Xu Junli, the principal of the Hanting District Amateur Sports School who was the referee at the time, noticed Xing Huina, and he thought that a player with courage and perseverance like Xing Huina was a good sports seedling, so after the competition, he selected her to participate in the 1995 Weifang City Primary and Secondary School Students Cross Country Competition.
At that time, because there was no sports school in the district where Xing Huina studied, Xu Junli deliberately found her school and her mother, hoping that they would find a way to let Xing Huina practice running more.
Xing Huina's mother was an illiterate peasant, but she attached great importance to Xu Junli's request. In order to train Xing Huina to run, she rode a bicycle every morning and let Xing Huina run behind. After running 5 kilometers every day rain or shine, after running for more than 2 months, Xing Huina's running has made great progress.
Kung Fu paid off, Xing Huina ran a good result in the cross-country race for primary and secondary school students in the city, and was selected by the Weifang City Sports School. Since then, 11-year-old Xing Huina has begun her long-distance running career.
Xing Huina is particularly able to endure hardships in long-distance running training. At the same time, she is also a very talented athlete, so during the time she trained at the sports school, she was always the best performer in the team. Coaches often lament that she is a very talented athlete who will definitely become a world champion in the future.
With the encouragement of the coach, Xing Huina found self-confidence, and she also made a commitment to become a world champion.
In 1998, Xing Huina participated in the 19th Shandong Provincial Games, when she participated in the 5 km and 10,000 m long distance runs and won the championship. At the same time, she also performed well in domestic competitions, and as a result, the provincial sports took a fancy to her. At the same time, Tsinghua University also wants to absorb her into the school team, not only to admit her, but also to personally do mobilization work.
Being able to study at Tsinghua University is something that many students dream of. However, Xing Huina's coach believes that there are very few good seedlings like her, so don't waste it, or enter the provincial sports team for professional training, and then have the opportunity to enter the national team to compete for the world championship.
The coach's advice gave Xing Huina an idea, and she also thought that she could have several beats in life, so she finally gave up Tsinghua University and chose to go to the provincial sports team, where she continued to receive more professional and rigorous training.
In 2002, when Xing Huina participated in the National Athletics Championships and Grand Prix for the first time, she won the gold medals in the 5 km and 10,000 m. As a result, she was also selected for the national team under coach Wang Dexian.
Wang Dexian is a ruthless man among the state coaches. In his team, there is no athlete who has not been beaten and scolded by him, even if Sun Yingjie, who was already a star figure at that time, Wang Dexian also said to her to fight and scold. So no one in the team wasn't afraid of him. And the training plan he made every day, no matter how hard and tired, everyone can only run desperately, lest they run the last place to be beaten.
In such an atmosphere, xing huina of course can only run desperately, did not expect that in this way, she instead had a new breakthrough in long-distance running, and her strength quickly overtook many old team members.
In October 2003, Xing Huina represented Qingdao in the 5th City Games. She easily won gold medals in the 5k and 10,000m, while she also won a silver medal in the 1500m. It can be said that that competition gave her the opportunity to emerge, and at the same time let more people pay attention to her. After the game, coach Wang Dexian said in an interview with reporters: "You don't just stare at Sun Yingjie, in fact, Xing Huina's performance in training is not worse than Sun Yingjie." ”
In 2004, Xing Huina and Sun Yingjie competed together in the Athens Olympic 10,000-meter run. At that time, everyone thought that Sun Yingjie had a chance to win the championship, so they all focused on Sun Yingjie's body. Even Wang Dexian, who wanted to produce results, continued to make strategic arrangements for Sun Yingjie, but Xing Huina, who participated in the competition together, was ignored by everyone.
Perhaps it was everyone's desire that put Sun Yingjie under pressure, and in the end she only won the 6th place in the 10,000-meter race, but Xing Huina broke out of the big cold and won the gold medal.
Xing Huina also became famous, receiving countless flowers and applause, and she is also ambitious to prepare for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
On the eve of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Xing Huina went to the United States to participate in training, but because of her previous injuries, and she practiced too hard, her foot injuries became more and more serious. In the end, she had no choice but to give up the Olympic Trials, which meant that she missed the 2008 Olympic Games.
Although she could not break through in sports, Xing Huina began to learn culture again. After retiring from the military, she first obtained a bachelor's degree from Shandong University, and then went to Peking University to pursue a master's degree in physical education. After graduation, he worked in sports. Obviously, even if Xing Huina retires, she is still so good.
