On the morning of October 26, Chen Xingrong won the 200-meter freestyle competition in the 12-15 years old group with a time of 3 minutes and 36 seconds, and Chen Mingran finished second in 4 minutes and 21 seconds.
"They've done really well, they've got results, they've got a level." Chen Xunhu, the coach of the Hainan Special Olympics Swimming Team, said that there are 5 athletes in Hainan who participated in the 11th National Paralympic Games and the 8th Special Olympics Swimming Competition, because of the epidemic, they are fully enclosed in the stadium and station, but the athletes follow discipline, actively prepare for the battle, work hard, and play the best results.
On the afternoon of the 26th, in the men's 12-15 years old group 100-meter freestyle competition, Chen Xingrong once again lived up to expectations, finishing second with a time of 1 minute and 38 seconds, and he was only 5 seconds slower than the champion.
"He played particularly well at the National Paralympic Games for the first time, especially in the 200m freestyle, and I think his ability is the strongest, beyond the usual level of training." Chen Xunhu said that as the coach who led the team, he was more satisfied with Chen Xingrong's performance, and Chen Xingrong himself was very happy.
Next, there are two more days to go. Chen Xingrong will also participate in the 50-meter freestyle competition, the 4x50m medley relay competition, the 4x50m freestyle relay competition, and several other athletes will also participate in the next competition.
"I look forward to the 5 children being able to finish the game smoothly and safely, not fouling, and being able to get better on the basis of safety." Chen Xunhu said that the rules of swimming competitions are relatively strict, and professional athletes are prone to mistakes and cannot put too much pressure on children.
sigh!
A freestyle legging exercise was learned for 1 year
On October 26, Chen Xunhu shared the news that Chen Xingrong won the gold medal in the men's 12-15 year old group 200-meter freestyle competition in the circle of friends, and netizens and parents praised it.
"It was amazing! Congratulations! "Congratulations To Rongrong, congratulations to Rongda!" "Behind the champion is the great father's love"... For an autistic child, learning to swim is a huge challenge.

In addition to being the coach who leads the team, Chen Xunhu is also the father of Chen Xingrong, who has quit his job for 15 years and has accompanied Chen Xingrong, who has autism, to go to school, teach children to brush their teeth, wash clothes, exercise, and teach children to identify colors in supermarkets. As long as it can promote the child's learning and life skills, he will do everything possible to create conditions. Among them, he decomposed the simple action of washing dishes, which is common to ordinary people, into 13 steps, taught his son over and over again, and practiced for many months before the child basically mastered.
"Swimming is particularly good, trains lung capacity, and helps children pronounce." Chen Xunhu looks for every possibility that can help children grow.
Rong Rong began to learn to swim at the age of 5, and has been swimming for 10 years now, and has also taken many detours. Chen Xunhu said that after finding out that Rongrong was interested in swimming, he took his son to learn from a swimming coach who could not swim.
"But because the child has autism, the coach can't understand what the coach said, and the coach he said can't understand it, and he can't learn at all." Chen Xunhu thought twice and decided to learn to swim with his children, so he bought swimming books and viewed many swimming teaching videos.
Day after day, Chen Xunhu first learned to swim, but it was difficult to learn to melt. "The freestyle legging action has been learned for 1 year." Normal children learn to swim according to the day, and Rongrong's swimming training is based on "years", despite this, Chen Xunhu has not given up, and has been accompanying the child to learn slowly, laying a solid foundation step by step.
support!
Behind the champion of "fatherly love"
At that time, Chen Xunhu thought: "Rongrong swimming is particularly good, maybe you can become an athlete and win a gold medal in the future." "Today, dreams come true.
"He loves swimming so much, let him swim with swimmers." In 2018, Chen Xunhu wanted Rongrong to join the Hainan Provincial Disabled Swimming Team. But after the coach watched the melting swim, he shook his head repeatedly, "Every action is wrong, not done." ”
yes? After so many years, even the swimming action is wrong, can it be corrected? Chen Xunhu's heart was tight, and he decided to find a professional swimming coach to teach Rongrong swimming. Therefore, he took his child to find Tang Guoxian, a swimming professor at the Physical Education College of Hainan Normal University, and began to correct it step by step, and Rongrong is still learning to swim with Professor Tang.
During this period, Chen Xunhu was not idle, he continued to learn the theoretical knowledge and professional skills of swimming, last year was admitted to the national professional qualification certificate of swimming lifeguard, and this year he obtained the national swimming coach certificate. There are professional coaches to impart experience, and the progress of integration is obvious.
At this Special Olympics, Chen Xingrong was selected as an athlete to compete, and Chen Xunhu was selected as the coach to lead the team. Chen Xingrong also finally put on gold and silver, repaying his father's hard work for him over the years.
In fact, the story of Chen Xunhu and his son Chen Xingrong touched most Hainanese 6 years ago, and Chen Xunhu also won the honor of "Moving Hainan" in the top ten people in 2015.
"Your gaze never leaves that distant star. Release warmth in the lonely wilderness and tap hope in the soil of despair. You use the guardianship of wei an shore to witness the rotation of the four seasons, and treat every step of the child's leap as spring. Like a warrior's expedition, you are your own beacon, you make yourself a mountain, because you are the father. ”
