In order to prepare for the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese gymnastics team has long been in the Training Bureau of the State General Administration of Sport for closed training, although the Tokyo Olympic Games have been postponed for one year, the Chinese gymnastics team is still confident to fight a turnaround battle. The History of the Chinese Gymnastics Team has produced a total of 25 Olympic champions, but there are only a few who have transformed into coaches after retiring, and the 35-year-old Teng Haibin chose to be a coach after retiring, and now it is his sixth year as a coach, as an Olympic champion, he is eager to send his disciples to the highest Olympic podium.
Born in January 1985, Teng Haibin won the Kurama championship at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and his gold medal was also the only gold medal won by the Chinese gymnastics team at the Athens Olympic Games, and Teng Haibin also used this gold medal to make up for his major mistake in the men's team final. In the Beijing Olympic cycle, the Chinese gymnastics team was full of talents, Teng Haibin was unable to qualify for the Beijing Olympic Games because of injuries and poor state, but he made a strong comeback to get a seat in the London Olympic Games, but in the first training session before the game arrived in London, Teng Haibin injured his left arm, head coach Huang Yubin had to make a substitution decision, Teng Haibin missed his second Olympic trip. In September 2014, at his wedding, Teng Haibin announced his retirement.
After retiring in 2014, Teng Haibin went to the junior class of the Chinese gymnastics team as a coach to learn, adapt and overdo it, and at the end of 2014, he officially entered the coaching team of the Chinese gymnastics team and worked as an assistant to coach Wang Hongwei until now. In the history of the Chinese gymnastics team, The Olympic champions have their own development after retirement, few people will choose to become coaches, when talking about their choices, Teng Haibin said: "When I was an athlete, I didn't think about being a coach after retirement, and I also felt that I was not this material. After really retiring, I have also practiced gymnastics for so many years, hoping to use my experience for so many years, whether it is technical or spiritual, to bring a kind of inheritance to the people behind. ”
When he first started as a coach, Teng Haibin would not adapt, in the athlete period, he only needed to do a good job of himself, when the coach had to manage more, the technical movements themselves understood and helped the athletes understand the essentials of the movements. After a period of about two years of adaptation, Teng Haibin adapted well to his coaching final. The coach of Xiao Ruoteng, the main player of the Chinese gymnastics men's team and the world champion, was Teng Haibin when he was in the junior class, and the coach was still her after entering the national team. In Xiao Ruoteng's view, in the past 6 years, Teng Haibin has matured a lot, and he has adapted quickly to the transformation of roles. Calmness is a major feature of Teng Haibin's coaching, and he will not bring too much psychological burden to athletes.
Perhaps because the age difference between Teng Haibin and the team members is not particularly large, or maybe Teng Haibin has a baby face, and he can play with the mobilizers in weekday training, and the team members are willing to talk to him about what they have in their hearts. When it comes to training matches, he acts as a bridge between the players and the coach in charge. Teng Haibin, who has cultivated a world champion, said of his goal as a coach: "When I am an athlete, I aim to be an Olympic champion, and as a coach, I hope that my team members can stand on the highest podium of the Olympic Games, hoping to help them realize their dreams, which is also their goal." ”
Teng Haibin's wife, Zhang Nan, the former captain of the Chinese gymnastics women's team, won the first women's team championship in the history of the Chinese gymnastics team at the 2006 World Championships. Zhang Nan, who is also a Beijinger, is one year younger than Teng Haibin, the two met in childhood, during the Athens Olympic Games, Zhang Nan liked Teng Haibin and took the initiative to pursue, accompanied him through the trough of injury and illness and the regret of not being able to win the London Olympic Games at the last moment, the two held a wedding in September 2014, in April 2018, Zhang Nan successfully gave birth to a daughter, and Teng Haibin was upgraded to a grandfather. However, because Teng Haibin became the coach of the national team, he often had to train with the team and did not have much time to spend with his family. This year's birthday of Zhang Nan and her daughter, Teng Haibin was unable to accompany his wife and daughter because of the closed training of the team, and on Children's Day, Zhang Nan also accompanied her daughter to celebrate the festival, and she also sweetly shouted Teng Haibin: "We miss you!" ”
