On October 9, Tokyo Olympic women's shot put champion Gong Lijiao posted an "alternative" video on social media.
In the video, she uses the action of throwing a shot put ball to throw the basketball about ten meters from the basket, and the ball crosses the perfect arc and enters the net.
As soon as the video was released, it received a lot of attention. Gong Lijiao's "cross-discipline" basketball has made many netizens call the Olympic champion "eternal god"...

For Gong Lijiao, who has already proved herself in the shot put field, the absolute strength she shows in the sport of throwing has been well known.
But in this video, with the addition of basketball and baskets, Gong Lijiao not only shows her strength advantages, but also the accuracy of her throwing is even more eye-catching.

In fact, as athletes, in addition to their respective sports, they also have a strong interest in other sports, and many of them have also shown good talent.
Let's take a look!
Many people know Bolt as the runner-up, praising him as "the fastest runner in the world." But do you know which sport he loves most besides athletics?
After retiring, the "lightning" of the 100-meter track transformed into the "cheetah" of the green field, and Bolt became a football player.
He has tried out at Stormgast F.C. in Norway and Mariners F.C. on the Central Coast in Australia, and has also finished twice in competitions.
In the 2018/19 Australian Premier League pre-season, the Central Coast Mariners, who own Jamaican sprinter Bolt, defeated MacArthur Southwest United 4-0. Bolt started the game and scored two goals.
At the Tokyo Olympic Games, young athlete Zhang Yufei chopped waves in the pool and won 2 gold and 2 silver, becoming the athlete with the largest number of medals won by the Chinese delegation in the Olympic Games.
But what kind of performance does the powerful "butterfly queen" in the pool have on the springboard?
In a video released by netizens, Zhang Yufei crossed the river to challenge the diving 1 meter board and the 3 meter board.
In the video, you can clearly see Zhang Yufei's calves trembling, and after several attempts, she finally jumped into the water, which is a ridiculous scene, and many netizens joked that "the swimming team is also difficult to learn to dive." ”

During the preparation for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, The National Feather and the National Table Tennis Team Tennis carried out various fun trainings in order to enrich the amateur life of the team members.
In the photos released to the public, Shi Yuqi, Huang Yaqiong and other famous generals have picked up table tennis rackets. The national table tennis also organized a badminton competition, and all the national players went to the badminton court to compete together.
"My master has come to cheer me on." In the badminton arena of the previous National Games, national table tennis player Sun Yingsha made a special trip to watch the match of the national feather group Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan, and Chen Qingchen also called Sun Yingsha, who once taught him table tennis, "Master Sha".

In addition to Chen Qingchen, table tennis as a "national ball" also attracts many athletes. In a previous variety show, former Chinese women's volleyball captain Hui Ruoqi visited the home of Zhang Jike, the olympic champion of national table tennis. The two also staged a different duel on the ping-pong table.
Under the "cooperation" of Zhang Jike, Hui Ruoqi, who held the right hand, completed the smash continuously, and also showed a good talent on the ping-pong table.

In any case, being able to compete with Olympic champions in different sports is sure to be an unforgettable experience for Hui Ruoqi. As the head coach of the CBA North Control men's basketball team, Marbury also played badminton with Olympic champion Fu Haifeng at the opening ceremony of a badminton tournament.
The duo's simple few rounds pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax. "I've played badminton before, but it's been the first time in my life to play against a world champion," says Marbury.
In addition to sports, multi-talented athletes have many attempts in other fields.
As a new generation of skiers, Gu Ailing is not only the king of the arena, but also the darling of the fashion industry with her good looks.
In addition to preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing also often appears on the scene of various fashion weeks. In addition to being a skier, fashion model is also one of her identities.
"I grew up saying I had three lives, as a normal student, as a skier, as a fashion model, and I'm balancing those three lives now." In an interview with the media, Gu Ailing once responded to the label on her body, but the most important goal in her heart at the moment is to stand on the highest podium of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

In the national table tennis team, all the players are bravely competing on the field, and they are also masters with skills off the field. Zhang Jike, Xu Xin and others in the program opened their mouths to sing, so that netizens joked that "playing ball delayed singing". Fan Zhendong, who was born in Guangdong, has also received more attention for singing Cantonese songs.
During the quarantine period after the Tokyo Olympics, Olympic athletes also donated their talents.
