China has many strong sports, and these projects are often gold medal-winning events in some international events, such as table tennis in China. Someone once joked: When a certain table tennis player wins the world championship, asks her what other goals she has? She said she wanted to take a domestic title. In addition to table tennis, our country is also a very dominant country in gymnastics.
Dong Fangxiao was born into a poor family, and she was sent to a sports school for training at the age of five. She trained in the gymnastics school very hard, and she has a very high talent for gymnastics. So at the age of eight, she was selected for the provincial team of Hebei Province, and at the age of ten, she successfully entered the national gymnastics team.
After entering the gymnastics team, Dong Fangxiao gradually showed her amazing talent in major competitions. At just 12 years old, she won the national vaulting championship. At the age of 13, she won three championships in the National Gymnastics Championships, including vaulting, free gymnastics and balance beam, and became the core figure of the Chinese gymnastics team at the age of 13.
But when she was 14 years old, the Sydney Olympics were about to be held, and the leaders at the time wanted her to compete in the Sydney Olympics. However, at that time, the Olympic Games had an age limit on the participants, and they had to be 16 years old to participate. But she was only 14 years old at the time, and she was in very good shape. If she is asked to wait for two more years, many leaders will worry that she is not in the same state as before, and there is no way to win a good result, so she will not be able to improve their political performance. So these leaders helped Dong Fangxiao change his age. Changing the age of 14 to 16, she went to the Sydney Olympics and won the bronze medal. In the case of that China at that time, this bronze medal had already broken the history of Chinese gymnastics.
But then this matter was revealed, and the leaders at the time completely pushed the matter of changing the age to Dong Fangxiao. The fact that the bronze medal was cancelled and the age was changed made Dong Fangxiao's career fall to the bottom, because she was only a 14-year-old child, how could she win her innocence from herself under these leaders!
Complete one's misery. Subsequently, Dong Fangxiao found necrosis of the femoral head and had reached the intermediate level. However, Dong Fangxiao's leaders were indifferent to this and did not care at all about Dong Fangxiao's life and death. Dong Fangxiao can only pay for the operation herself, but her family is already very poor. Although these years of sports career have won her a lot of honors, it has not allowed her to earn a lot of financial income. So after seven surgeries, her family couldn't come up with the money. But in the end, Dong Fangxiao stood up again.
But Dong Fangxiao, who has now received many honors and carries an injury, has immigrated to Australia, not because she does not want to make greater contributions to the cause of Chinese gymnastics, but because of her former leadership and many sports executives, she has to become discouraged and leave the gymnastics career she loves. And when you see here, you will think of the problem of Sun Yang wearing a personal sponsor's award uniform, in fact, these two situations are the same. Athletes have worked hard!
