At the Olympic Games, the "Hanging Ring King" Liu Yang was on fire, his "cross support" was stable and stable, and he easily twisted his neck, with an evil and confident expression, and he was very domineering.
Some netizens joked: I saw Liu Yang scare the referee in the air and take away a gold medal.
I believe this will be an unforgettable highlight moment of Liu Yang's gymnastics career.
But for another man, the "cross support" is the cross that he carries forever in his heart. Also in the Olympic ring competition, the same action, his mistake ruined the dream of a generation of gymnasts, he is Li Xiaoshuang.
It happened at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
Before the game, Li Xiaoshuang held his breath: "The team must win, the all-around must win, the free gymnastics will win..."
Self-confidence is his consistent style, which can be summarized in 6 words: playing with life - who else?!
The Chinese gymnastics team has always been very strong, and has won many single championships, the king of hanging rings, the king of vaulting horses...
At that time, the Chinese gymnastics team was strong enough to win the team championship, which was to put on this crown of its own. The biggest obstacle was the Russian team led by Nemov.
The Chinese team led the way in the first four rounds of the team match, and then reached Li Xiaoshuang's hoop competition.
The group body, the horizontal support are all done cleanly and neatly, and below is the regular action - cross support.
The so-called cross support is to make a static cross action on the ring, testing the strength of the athlete.
Like Liu Yang's cross support, the body is not moving, and there is idle kung fu twisting the neck, which means: This is not a problem! If you can pull your hand out of the air, you can give you a flying kiss by the way.
Indeed, for the master, this is just an introductory action, and our little twin students can do it in their teens.
However, to this day, he has not understood how he made a mistake at that time. As he pressed his arm downwards, his right hand suddenly slipped, and the arm passed through the hoist ring, forming a hanging arm, and the action was completely failed.
It wasn't the worst, affected by his mistakes, and in the back of the game, the teammates made one mistake after another, and in the end the team only won the silver medal.
Speaking of silver medals, two days ago at the Tokyo Olympics, British boxer Whitaker was widely blamed for refusing to wear a silver medal. In fact, you should understand his mood, for some masters, no gold medal is a failure. As for the beautiful country also ranking with the total number of medals, that is really funny B.
Li Xiaoshuang did not refuse to wear the silver medal, but after stepping down, he smashed the silver medal on the floor. He said: One of my mistakes ruined the dreams of a generation of gymnasts!
For the next two days, Xiaoshuang struggled to find the reason for the mistake in self-blame.
In fact, there are many things, even if you make the best efforts, you may not be able to control the overall situation, there is always a mistake waiting for you.
If you figure this out, you don't have to drill the tip of the bull's horn, do your best, and obey your destiny. After all, there are gymnastics all-around competitions.
The biggest opponent in the all-around is Russia's Nemov, who is known as the "Gymnastics Tsar".
Nemov looks handsome, 12 centimeters taller than Li Xiaoshuang, although not as flexible as he is, but once the big long legs are flickered, the picture is quite windy.
In the horizontal bar final of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Nemov flew up and down with a pair of long legs, fascinated a large number of fans, but was unexpectedly pressed by the referee.
Seeing that Aidou was wronged, the fans did not dry, and the audience of various colors in the audience booed for 15 minutes, and then put up their middle fingers and whistled, which scared the referee not lightly, and quickly added points to him. The athletes who appear next are also confused, what kind of class is this? I haven't seen it!
Finally, Ai Dou himself came forward to reassure the fans: Dear, please be quiet, love you. This stabilized the audience's mood, showing Nemov's charm.
But Xiao Shuang did not take him seriously, he said: I did not take him seriously at that time.
However, the game was not as easy as Li Xiaoshuang thought, and the first place was always replaced between him and Nemov. With the last game remaining, it trails Nemov by 0.038 points. The closing battle of Xiaoshuang is his weakness on the horizontal bar, while Nemov is strong in free gymnastics.
The psychological gap, a battle against the water, must be perfect in the weak, do their best, obey the fate, and be under pressure.
But Xiao Shuang is a cruel person, and he can't see the slightest panic when he is about to "get on the bar". The standard hairstyle is three or seven points, not messy at all. Tightly closed lips, fierce eyes, pupils up, the aura is compelling.
A set of horizontal bar action double-arm loop, one-arm loop, take off to grab the bar, flip up and down. Before descending the bar, the continuous loop, throwing himself out, what a string of straight body clumps churned and landed on the ground, firmly nailed on the mat. For a moment, when he raised his fist to celebrate, like the god of war, his hairstyle was still not messy.
The momentum made Nemov's heart hairy, and he thought that playing like this might not be able to beat him! On difficulty!
Nemov increased the difficulty of free gymnastics, but fortunately everything went well and he saw that he was done.
But Baimi always has a slack, just like Li Xiaoshuang's hanging ring mistake, there is a mistake waiting for him not far away. When Nemov landed at the end of the last second, his feet crossed the border and fell short!
Xiaoshuang won China's first gymnastics all-around gold medal with a slight advantage of 0.049 points, which belongs to his time.
But unexpectedly, the second year after reaching his peak, he chose to retire at the age of 24, and all this was because he was too "fierce".
The gymnastics world is known as "Li Jiajun", but the personalities of the three generations of leaders Li Ning, Li Xiaoshuang and Li Xiaopeng are very different. Li Ning is loyal, Li Xiaopeng is sunny, and he is fierce.
When he was a child, the big and small brothers were favored by the coach because of the fierce fight, and they were included in the gymnastics team.
The brothers' physical condition is not good, O-shaped legs inside the figure eight, the coach of the more than a hundred pounds to sit on the legs, correct the leg shape to pull the ligament, the pain is straight out of tears but never bitter.
Li Xiaoshuang has entered and exited the national team several times, and has been recruited to come and go, but he never complains, and when he comes, he is desperate to do it, and everyone who looks at this momentum likes it.
In 1991, he practiced gymnastics for three weeks. This action was something that no one could do at that time, it was equivalent to the "Nine Yin True Scriptures" of the gymnastics class, and in front of it, all other martial arts would abdicate.
However, practicing martial arts will also go crazy, and before practicing, it is easy to hurt yourself.
If the diving flip is not done well, it is a big deal to shoot sideways on the water, which is very faceless, but if it fails on land, it may be dead.
In order to practice the "Nine Yin True Scriptures", he injured his ankle, knee joint, waist injury, the heaviest one, the back of his head fell on the mat, directly shot into a concussion, amnesia for three minutes, in short, he was playing with his own life.
A month after the concussion, he went to Japan to compete, took more than 40 painkillers with him, and one day ate 18 in succession, and fought hard to win the vaulting championship.
What is the concept of taking 18 pain tablets in a row? There used to be one
A netizen asked the doctor on the Internet: One of my friends even ate 18 painkiller tablets, will he hang up?
Doctor: Don't panic, you won't hang up, but why eat so much?
A: My friend wants to be martyred!
doctor:...... Can't hang up! But you have to go to the stomach wash right away!
Although we don't know what Xiao Shuang eats to go to the pain tablets, it is too dangerous to play like this. If he hadn't been so desperate, maybe he wouldn't have retired prematurely; conversely, if he hadn't been so desperate, he might not have had Barcelona's surprise.
In the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, teammates lost one after another, and Li Xiaoshuang performed the "Nine Yin True Scriptures" in free gymnastics - three weeks after the group's back flip. This unique martial art finally appeared in the jianghu for the first time, dazzling the layman, and the insider was exclaiming, winning the only gymnastics gold medal of the Chinese team.
After the Atlanta Olympics, the gymnastics hero broke his feet again during training, and this time the operation made it impossible for him to surpass the peak. In 1997, he retired at the golden age of 24.
In 2006, a certain card standing collar was selected as the dress of the Chinese gymnastics team, and its advertisement was a sentence of Jet Li: Men, you should be cruel to yourself!
Paying tribute to Li Xiaoshuang with this sentence is appropriate.
Xiao Shuang retired, not only is the dragon and phoenix among the people, but he is definitely not willing to bury the red dust.
Self-confidence is victory, love literature and art big and small double brothers, entered the show business, and also launched records, but not successfully.
Seeing that Li Ning's big brother's clothing company was doing well, the brothers established "Li Xiaoshuang Sporting Goods Company". However, times have changed, the business environment has changed, and coupled with the blow of SARS, sporting goods companies have not succeeded.
He has always been confident, and he has been devastated, and he wants to carry the "Nine Yin True Scriptures" and play with his life in the gymnastics room. And now, the True Scriptures have been sealed, I want to play with my life but I can't find an opponent, I don't hear the sound of the instruments in my ears, and I draw my sword and look around at a loss!
He finally realized that after years of desperate play, he had nothing but Li Xiaoshuang's three words. He was nothing but a code name for his name.
When you are sober, you can sink your heart and start from the beginning.
Many articles say that the size of the double assets is over 100 million, but the language is unknown and there is no way to verify.
In recent years, he has made large investments. On August 8, 2017, in his hometown of Xiantao, Hubei Province, the "Li Xiaoshuang Sports City" was grandly opened. The project covers an area of 190 acres, with a total investment of 320 million yuan, and is the national fitness base of Xiantao.
However, this is not a personal investment, but a sports group, and both big and small brothers have shares.
From this point of view, whether it is an asset of over 100 million, he is still not bad money.
There is also a co-investor in the group, Li Yifang, who was once a gymnast and Li Xiaoshuang's ex-girlfriend. After breaking up, he met his current wife, singer Zhang Bening. Similar to Xiaoshuang, Dashuang married actress Li Lin after a failed marriage.
Both are related to show business, and unfortunately, neither brother has any children.
In fact, there is no need to regret, life is a personal choice. Self-confidence is victory, because he is Li Xiaoshuang. Wish them happiness forever!
