Olympic champions Chen Aisen and Xie Sibei are not only teammates of the Guangdong team and national team, but also brothers in Jinan Park, Chen Aisen is a graduate student of the 2018 International Business Master of the School of Economics, and Xie Sibei is a graduate student of the 2019 International Business Master of the School of Economics.
The female host first asked, "Double Champion" is the same division brother, what is the relationship between the two? Chen Aisen said, "Very familiar. Xie Sibei replied, "Me too." "The two have a tacit understanding.
In 2014, Xie Sibei could not participate in training because of a broken ankle, and even planned to retire. After two surgeries, he had two more steel nails and one rivet on his foot, and the doctor told him not to practice diving anymore, but Xie Didn't give up.
When evaluating Xie Sibei, Chen Aisen said, "Xie Siwei is a proper desperate type! He didn't just try. Why did his foot hurt? The fracture went to the hospital for surgery. His foot was actually injured, during training, but he did not do a good job in a movement, he desperately practiced, to change it, and then because of overuse, excessive injury, resulting in the final fracture. ”
Xie Sibei revealed that his feet, waist and eyes have been damaged to varying degrees in long-term training, "because before practicing the ten-meter jumping platform, the retina suffered an impact, thinner than ordinary people, and my eyes have been lasered 7 times." ”
Xie Sibei also reminded the alumni, "According to my experience, I hope that everyone can combine work and leisure, and when you are tired, you must find a state suitable for your relaxation, and then come back to continue learning after relaxing." Take care of your body, don't be like me! Because I've been injured, I don't want people to be as desperate as I am, and I must take care of my body while completing my goals. ”
Chen Aisen revealed that from 2017 to 2019, he often had neurological arm weakness for no reason, could only do daily activities, could not carry out training hard, and was accompanied by ankle pain, and could not walk. Not being able to train means not improving, which has a big impact on his athlete career.
Xie Sibei believes that Chen Aisen is an athlete who has both talent and hard work, "For Chen Aisen, the trough period in 2018 is actually quite difficult, with the increase of age, when the athlete's physical function declines, it is actually difficult to mobilize and recover to a better state." But through his own hard work, Chen Aisen continued to overcome these difficulties and finally got back up. ”
At the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Aisen, who overcame the difficulties of injury and illness, lost to the British Daley group in the final of the doubles 10-meter platform and was the runner-up, to which he said, "The runner-up is actually an affirmation of myself, and I am very happy." "From being at the peak of the sport in 2016, to the decline in form in 2018 to the lowest point, and finally with the support and help of the diving team, as well as the encouragement of teammates, step by step back to a better state."
The host asked them, "Is it harder to win the Prize at the National Games than the Olympic Games?" The two laughed and gave a positive answer, Chen Aisen said, "It's just a bunch of world champions fighting for this national championship, so it will be a little more difficult." ”
At the end of the Tokyo Olympics and the National Games, the two Olympic champions said they would take a break, adjust and find the rhythm that suited them best, and prepare for next year's Asian Games.
