On August 1, the final of the women's high and low bar of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games came to an end, and Fan Yilin of China made a mistake in the lower bar and directly sat down on the ground. Although this Shanghai Jiading girl only won the seventh place, her spirit of overcoming injuries and illness and insisting on chasing her dreams was touching.
There was an accident in the final, condensing five years of cold and warm
Fan Yilin, 21, is the oldest and only Olympic participant in the Chinese women's gymnastics team to compete in the Tokyo Olympics, which is her second Olympic Games. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Fan Yilin won the third place in the women's gymnastics team, but missed the medal in her own uneven bars event.
This Tokyo Olympic Games, Fan Yilin is dragging a body of injuries, dreaming. The finalists of the High and Low Bars events at the Tokyo Olympics gathered, and in addition to the fast-growing Belgian selection of Nina de Waal, Russian athletes also showed the advantage of the group army. Fan Yilin's movements in the preliminaries were slightly flawed, but she advanced to the final. In the final, Fan Yilin smoothly completed all the difficult moves on the bar, but sat down on the ground when she played the next law. The second trip to the Olympics failed to achieve the goal of standing on the podium.
After that, Fan Yilin almost suppressed tears to signal to the referee that her second Olympic trip was shaky, but she had tried her best. The five years of the Tokyo Olympic cycle are full of difficulties for Fan Yilin, who has experienced the joy of enjoying the highest podium of the World Championships, but also experienced the troubles of knee injuries, experienced the twists and turns of locking up the quota for the Tokyo Olympic Games, and finally left regrets in the final of the most skilled Olympic high and low bar event, and also left regrets due to her own injury.
He was seriously injured before leaving, and he insisted on gritting his teeth
As the oldest member of the Chinese women's gymnastics team, Fan Yilin has been battling injuries for the past five years. Speaking of Fan Yilin's persistence, Ye Xiaodong, director of the Shanghai Gymnastics Center, was very emotional, Fan Yilin, a team member, was not easy, "At the beginning of 2018, she had a major injury, and her cruciate ligament was seriously torn when the balance beam competition landed, "At that time, everyone thought that she must have given up not practicing. Unexpectedly, this child said that he had the responsibility to continue to practice for the Shanghai team. ”
The Shanghai Gymnastics Center hired a professional rehabilitation team to be stationed in Beijing, and Fan Yilin spent a whole year recovering. In order to get a place for individual players, Fan Yilin competed in the World Cup like a rush, and she still competed in Baku when the epidemic broke out globally last spring. From the late autumn of 2019 to the early summer of 2021, Fan Yilin won four World Cup races and stayed up until the end of the single World Cup in June this year to confirm the arrival of the ticket to the Tokyo Olympic Games.
It is reported that three weeks before leaving for the Tokyo Olympics, Fan Yilin fell down while training in the team and suffered a dangerous injury. "The coaches thought it was the end of her Tokyo Olympic career because she couldn't move her hands or feet at that time." According to relevant sources, the medical security team has been racing against time to ensure that Fan Yilin's ability to make sets of actions is restored in time, which caught the flight to Tokyo.
"Fan Yilin, a team member, is very difficult, has extremely high self-requirements, cooperates with the coach very well, has a strong sense of responsibility and belief in winning glory for the country, and is a very prominent one among the female gymnastics players we have seen." Ye Xiaodong said that as long as the players have worked hard for their dreams, they are worthy of admiration, "I hope she can control the injury, and health is the first." Immediately after the Olympic Games, the National Games are a challenge and a test for all Olympic athletes. (From Tokyo)
