Today I would like to introduce you to one of my new colleagues, she is Xu Lijia.
Which Xu Lijia? Of course, xu Lijia, the olympic champion of sailing who has participated in three Olympic Games (Beijing in 2008, London in 2012, and Rio in 2016) as an athlete, and is also the pride of "Allah" Shanghai sports!
This time she also came to Tokyo, but her identity is very different. — From participating athletes to sports media people. "Hello everyone, I'm Xu Lijia. This is my fourth Olympic trip, and unlike the previous three, I'm here as a sports media person.[ ”
Graduated and is "interning"
The profession is sports news media
Speaking of academic leaders in the Chinese sports circle, Xu Lijia is definitely one of them.
As everyone may know, she underwent a change of major in the process of studying overseas: from a student of international management at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom to a student of sports news and media at Solent University in the United Kingdom. So, after several years of study, has Xu Lijia successfully graduated?
"Yes, I officially completed my master's degree at Solent University in October 2019 and have graduated successfully." Participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games as a special host of an Olympic video interview program is the most fresh attempt for Xu Lijia after graduation.
New position, there are accidents
"It's a bit hard not to stay up late."
Coming to the Tokyo Olympics and starting to embark on a new job, Xu Lijia has made a lot of preparations for this, but what surprises her the most is — — It's so easy to become a stay-up party in the sports media.
"My habit used to go to bed early and get up early, but after I came to Tokyo, the biological clock changed greatly. Sometimes it's because of the interview, the work ends late, but there are also times when it's really exciting to watch the game, or I've talked to the interviewee before, and it's difficult to fall asleep right away even when I go back to the hotel room. Talking about this, she asked the reporter, "I don't know what kind of situation you are in?" ”
Honey, I have to say how you feel really accurate. Doing the media line, doing the sports media line, especially during the Olympic Games, it is really impossible not to stay up late to work!
The most anticipated game at the moment?
Cheers to good friend Huang Xuechen!
During the Tokyo Olympics, Xu Lijia had several interview assignments every day. Therefore, although she has a heart that very much wants to watch the game, she can only see the stitches and needles to find opportunities.
Previously, Xu Lijia had already watched sailing, rowing, swimming, diving, kayaking and other sports. When it comes to the moment, what she is most looking forward to is of course the performance of her good friend Huang Xuechen in the synchronized swimming event!
"This is her (Huang Xuechen's) fourth Olympic Games. As a mom player, her spirit is very worthy of our respect. It is hoped that in the future, more female athletes will be able to continue to prolong their sports life after giving birth. I also hope and wish Huang Xuechen can realize her dream on her fourth Olympic journey. Xu Lijia sent her best friend blessings.
At 18:30 Beijing time today, Huang Xuechen /Sun Wenyan (the silver medal duo of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games) will launch a gold medal in the synchronized swimming double event.
