Tianxingjian, a gentleman who strives for self-improvement; The terrain is kun, and the gentleman carries things with thick virtue. - "Zhou Yi"
Throughout the ages, many people with lofty ideals have been willing to give up their lives for the sake of the country, and this spirit is admirable and awe-inspiring. As this year, a plague, there are too many uncrowned kings who rush to the "front line" to protect us.
Although, in today's peacetime era, there is no battlefield of shouting and shouting, but the competition has always existed, shopping malls, competition fields, etc., each of which requires us to deal with 12 points of spirit.
As we all know, there are many colorful sports competitions on the sports stage, and many sports in China are among the best in the world, such as volleyball, swimming, table tennis, etc. These sports are well known to the people at the same time, related sports stars are also sought after and worshipped by everyone.
But in our country's outstanding sports, there is a very rare can get people's attention, the public can recognize the athletes rarely appear in their names, although not able to get too much attention, but it is undeniable that there are still many elites in this sport, for our country to get a lot of gold medals, this sport is - weightlifting.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > weightlifting star Tang Gonghong</h1>
In fact, the sport of weightlifting is a very old sport, like sprinting, long-distance running, the rules of this sport are very simple, that is, the barbell is raised with both hands above the head, it seems to be held steadily without falling, even if the competition is completed, the natural who lifts the barbell the greater the weight, who can win the game and win the championship. Men's weightlifting was included in the first Olympic Games, while women's weightlifting was included in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
I think everyone remembers 2008, the year we hosted the 29th Olympic Games. That year our athletes were on a mission to win gold medals in multiple sports. Among them, China's weightlifting team won eight gold medals in this Olympic Games, and many Olympic champions were born.
We also got to know the outstanding athletes of the weightlifting team, such as Liu Chunhong, Cao Lei, Chen Yanqing, Tang Gonghong and so on. One of them was also overloaded with weightlifting, and once had seven tricks to bleed and damage internal organs, so she did not have the opportunity to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games, she is Tang Gonghong, a female weightlifter over 75 kg.
At the age of 11, Tang Gonghong, who weighed 62 kilograms, was selected to play for the Shandong Provincial Weightlifting Team, and then through his continuous efforts and outstanding performances, he was selected to join the national team and participate in the training of the national team. In 2001, Tang Gonghong won the gold medal in the women's weightlifting event at the 9th National Games.
She broke the world record at the Asian Games in 2002 and broke the world record again at the Asian Championships in 2003-04, and her most famous event was at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, which broke the world record with 182.5 kilograms, a kilogram that no one had tried before.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > overloaded</h1>
Below is a picture she left behind at the 32nd Taishan International Mountaineering Festival in Shandong in 2018, when she was invited to participate in the event. If you don't say her age, you might believe she's 50 years old, but she was only 39 at the time, why does one look so old? In fact, this has a lot to do with her body, and the reason for this situation is from the 2004 Olympic Games.
At the 2004 Olympic Games, Tang Gonghong did something that many people thought was incredible: she lifted 182.5 kilograms of weight and won the championship, which is unparalleled in women's weightlifting, even men rarely lift such weights, and she is the champion of this competition.
It is understood that at that time, the South Korean athlete lifted 172.5 kg, and Tang Gonghong tried to lift 172.5 kg twice and failed twice, I think it was also afraid to lift 182.5 kg at that time. After the game, her body began to experience severe discomfort, her nose, ears and mouth were bleeding almost the entire seven tricks, she was rushed to the hospital to save her life, although this time did not cause life danger, but her internal organs were really badly damaged.
In fact, although an athlete's gold medal is important, and the championship also represents a person's destiny, but her risk-taking behavior regardless of her own health made many people feel very incomprehensible at that time, I think at that time, she was not only for that medal, but also for the honor of the country, she also had to work hard to fight for the motherland.
The shocking consequence of that overload was that her internal organs were irreversible damage, and she also won the gold medal, changing her and the coach's fate. After winning this heavy Olympic gold medal, Tang Gonghong also reaped some economic gains, and the Shandong Weihai Sports Training Bureau gave her a four-bedroom house.
Cash prizes from all walks of life totaled about 2 million yuan, in addition to the house and cash rewards, because she was seriously damaged, repeated comebacks without results, and had to retreat to the rear, the Sports Bureau provided her with a job - the director of the weightlifting project of the Weihai Sports Bureau, the level of division.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > married and childless for 6 years</h1>
8 years ago in May, tang gonghong was introduced by her aunt to meet her current husband Sun Aimin, who is also from Weihai, and Datang Gonghong is three years old, after many contacts, the two sides are in agreement and married in December of the same year. The athlete, who had contributed everything for the country and for her family, finally lived a happy and relatively prosperous life, but unfortunately, she and her husband were married for 6 years and still had no children.
6 years of marriage and childless, presumably and she overloaded weightlifting caused seven tricks of bleeding internal organs damage in 2004 has a lot to do, since 2004, Tang Gonghong has also made many comebacks, all of which had to withdraw from the game due to physical reasons, and retired.
In the author's opinion, women's weightlifting this sport, the physical damage is extremely great, not only women, all weightlifters, have different degrees of physical damage, I think if you can modify the project system, not to weightlifting heroes, there will be more athletes engaged in this project.
Finally, I wish Tang Gonghong all the best and a cute baby in the near future. I also wish all athletes good health and all the best. Even if some people say that too many athletes want to be famous and want to develop, they are willing to do that, and no one can stop them. Maybe it is true, but there is an old Chinese saying that moral integrity and ability are matched, and those who can achieve excellent results and do not fade must be righteous people, and must have a very deep sense of national honor in their hearts. May the country and mountains laid by so many people prosper and flourish.
