<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > began to enjoy skating out of curiosity</h1>
Born on December 14, 1996 in Changchun, Jilin Province, Li Zijun is an authentic northeastern girl. Her childhood experiences led to her interest in figure skating. When he was 5 years old, Li Zijun saw the daughter of his mother's colleague practicing skating, and his heart was full of curiosity.
Especially in figure skating, the graceful movements of athletes on the ice fascinated her. So she began to learn to skate from a very young age, and after a while, Li Zijun gradually began to show her amazing talent in this field. As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher, so she is able to fit in with all her heart and soul at every day of training.
It is also for this reason that she plays particularly well every time she participates in the game, and the various flowing movements on the field are the result of her hard training.
In 2008, Li Zijun, who was only 12 years old, had far more physical conditions than other players of the same age, whether it was his personal figure and appearance, or his various difficult dance moves, which were breathtaking.
In this year, at that time, Chinese figure skating had a "stay in the ocean plan" project, the purpose of which was to select some small figure skaters with excellent talents to go abroad for special training and practice, and Li Zijun naturally won one of the places in the "stay in the ocean plan". In September of the same year, at the age of 12, she and coach Li Mingzhu went to Los Angeles to participate in training.
After studying under the famous teacher Li Mingzhu, Li Zijun's ability improved rapidly. After the end of the "Stay in the Ocean Program", Li Zijun officially became the main athlete of Figure Skating in China, from the champion of the All Youth Championships to the champion of the Championships, and then to the champion of the 2009 National Figure Skating Championships and the champion of the 2012 National Winter Games.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > talented to complete a Grand Slam</h1>
From 2010 to 2012, Li Zijun only took two years to become a grand slam player in domestic competitions, and she became the brightest new star among domestic figure skaters with so many honors. In January 2016, in the figure skating event of the 13th National Winter Games, Li Zijun used "Moonlight" as the soundtrack, and played well in sliding, dancing, and taking off, and won the championship again.
At that time, everyone in the outside world believed that Li Zijun could become a figure skater like Jin Yan'er, become a world famous player, and bring an Olympic gold medal to China.
Indeed, for Li Zijun at that time, she not only achieved a grand slam in domestic competitions, but also in the field of domestic figure skating, whether technically, ability, or level, Li Zijun recognized the second, absolutely no one dared to recognize the first.
She has also performed extraordinary in international competitions, as early as 2010, Li Zijun participated in the International Skating Youth Group Grand Prix in Austria and the Czech Republic, and after many fierce competitions, she successfully qualified for the final in Beijing.
In 2011, she participated in the World Junior Figure Skating Championships in South Korea, and in the same year, she again competed in the International Skating Youth Team Grand Prix Latvia and Austria, and once again qualified for the final.
In January 2012, Li Zijun participated in the National Winter Games in Innsbruck, Austria, and the Winter Youth Olympic Games, and won the bronze medal in one fell swoop, and is definitely the leader of The Chinese figure skating event.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > state slipped and was caused by discordant sounds</h1>
In 2014, the 18-year-old Li Zijun made her debut for the national team at the Winter Olympics, but unfortunately she did not win. In the same year, she also participated in the World Figure Skating Championships, because of her poor physical fitness, and eventually missed the medal.
Later, some discordant voices began to appear, and some people constantly attacked Li Zijun on the Internet, some people thought that she did not have the level of the world's top figure skating athletes, and some people thought that Li Zijun often posted her selfies and delicacies on Weibo during the competition, and was considered by some netizens to be lazy in training and wasted her talents, which was the root cause of her failure.
But Li Zijun did not respond in the face of slander and insults. Since then, Li Zijun has gradually begun to mature, constantly participating in four continents, world championships, grand prix, and honing his technical level. In 2016, she won the National Winter Games again, and she used this championship to toughly fight back against black fans and let them know who china's figure skating goddess is.
In 2017, at the Asian Winter Games, Li Zijun won the silver medal with a total score of 175.60 points, once again proving himself on the international stage. Unfortunately, at the end of the 2016-2017 season, Li Zijun had to be forced to withdraw from the game due to injury.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > chose to retire due to injury</h1>
In addition to Li Zijun's love of winning glory for the country in international figure skating competitions, she often participates in many festivals and performs figure skating dances for everyone. Everyone likes her various beautiful dance moves during the skating process, and under her influence, more and more people like the project of figure skating.
On November 13, 2018, an unexpected news was posted on Li Zijun's social platform. When She was 22 years old, Li Zijun chose to retire from the army and return to campus to learn cultural knowledge.
Compared with other sports, the 22-year-old is at the peak of an athlete's career, physical function and qi and blood are the most abundant moments, the best physical condition, it is a blockbuster moment, it is the time to show their fists. But for figure skating, this is not the case, because for athletes, if you want to achieve excellent results in figure skating.
Age is best in the juvenile stage, because when a teenager, physical coordination and muscle softness are the most developed moments in a person's life, and after adulthood, the flexibility and coordination of the body will decline, and it is difficult to make such a perfect action. The age of 22 is basically the late stage of professional figure skating.
For Li Zijun's career, it is full of joy, happiness and honor, but there are also difficulties and setbacks. Figure skating was the starting point of her life and the home of her first dream on the road of life.
As a Grand Slam champion in domestic competitions, Li Zijun's only regret is that she did not achieve better results in adult international competitions.
Although she announced her retirement on social platforms, this does not mean that she will leave the ice rink, will leave figure skating, she still does her best to contribute to the development of figure skating in China. For Li Zijun, she did not give up, but worked hard in another way.
She not only completed her undergraduate studies at the Jilin Provincial Sports School, but also went abroad again for further study. In 2018, Li Zijun returned to China with a new identity, returning to her hometown.
She became a boss, and she used her fame to set up an international ice sports center for her hometown, in this way to promote figure skating and further develop China's figure skating career in the future.
Compared with Li Zijun's brilliant career, Li Zijun's figure and appearance have also attracted the attention of many fans. Sweet looking, outstanding temperament, and as a figure skater, maintaining weight at a very aesthetic level is a compulsory course, making people unforgettable goddesses.
