On August 2, at Musashino Forest Sports Plaza in Tokyo, the scene of the Tokyo Olympic Women's Badminton Doubles Final, the empty audience was filled with shouts. "We were lucky! Lucky！ ”“watch out！” "Awesome!" These words have not only become Chen Qingchen's exclusive business card, but also a unique way for fanchen to boost morale.
In the final, the Fanchen combination lost to the Indonesian combination 0:2, and the score of the two sets was 19:21 and 15:21. Although they did not win the Olympic badminton women's doubles competition, for the Fanchen group, this silver medal is the best encouragement for them to participate in the Olympic Games for the first time.
In the group stage, he did not lose a round to win the round, the quarter-finals reversed the Japanese duo of Yuki Fukushima / Caihua Hirota, and the semi-final easily defeated the Korean team kim Joo-young / Kong Hee-young... Looking back on the entire Olympic schedule, Chen Qingchen has always maintained a strong momentum, singing all the way, showing the spirit of the Hakka family never giving up and not fearing difficulties.
The tokyo Olympic badminton competition has ended, and the era belonging to Chen Qingchen has just begun.
Never give up the strict demands on yourself
In the view of Zou Shiwen, Chen Qingchen's enlightenment coach, the "Fan Chen Combination" can enter the final and get the silver medal, which is already a very good performance, although Chen Qingchen is a little nervous in the final.
In the first set of the final, the Indonesian combination began to lead, Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan clenched the score, and finally lost by two points. The second set lasted 27 minutes and the Indonesian duo won 21-15.
Previously, Chen Qingchen had been connected to the hot search for "witty words" in the game, in her opinion, shouting can increase self-confidence, deter the other party, and easier to stimulate their own competitive state. In the final, the frequency of her shouting was significantly reduced, and the actions of killing the ball, throwing the net, and putting the net were also somewhat deformed, in stark contrast to the Indonesian player Lahayu, who always shouted from time to time during the game to cheer himself up.
When they reached the podium, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan could not bear the loss and hugged and cried. Maybe it's self-blame for not being able to play at its best level, or it's the fans who feel ashamed of the high hopes they have placed in themselves. "They're athletes who demand a lot from themselves." Commentator Hong Gang commented.
This kind of "high standards and strict requirements" has been rooted in Chen Qingchen's bones since the first contact with badminton.
At the age of 7, Chen Qingchen stepped into the door of the Xingning Amateur Sports School. During the day, school is attended in the school, and after school, they rush to the sports school for 2 hours of technical training. Every morning, accompanied by her mother, she also runs 12 laps along the 400-meter track of the nearby gymnasium to exercise physical fitness, while the coach's requirement is 10 laps.
At the age of 10, when her peers were still spoiled in the arms of her parents, she had embarked on the journey to guangdong provincial sports school. In order to catch up with the same batch of team members, she secretly worked hard and became a member of the provincial team who insisted on training until the last moment every day, leaving alone at the end of daily training, and watching the video repeatedly every game.
In 2012, she became a full player of the provincial team and represented the provincial team in the women's doubles competition of the national youth competition, thus entering the national youth training team. In the same year, Chen Qingchen partnered With He Jiaxin to participate in the Asian Youth Championship Women's Doubles Competition, and successfully reached the top 4, and because of her excellent performance in the Asian Youth Championship, Chen Qingchen, who was 15 years old at the time, entered the national team of her dreams.
Guangdong Provincial Champion, National Champion, Asian Champion, World Champion... In the details of the stars of the "Zhongyu Online" APP, Chen Qingchen has won countless honors over the years, which is dazzling. Chen Qingchen's parents said that she was very lucky along the way, the road to badminton is very smooth, but good luck is not accidental, behind Chen Qingchen's unknown efforts and sweat, as well as the Hakka sister spirit she has: hard-working, self-reliance and self-reliance.
It turns out that you are Lucky's Sister Chen
The clock is set back to a month ago, when the Chinese national badminton team announced the list of participants in the Tokyo Olympics, and Chen Qingchen, a 24-year-old Foshan athlete, was among them. This is Chen Qingchen's first time representing China in the Olympic Games, and the "Fanchen Combination" formed by her partner Jia Yifan is currently ranked third in the world and second in the points of the Tokyo Olympic Games, which is highly expected.
Earlier, Chen Qingchen said in an interview that his biggest dream when he was a child was to become a "world champion" of badminton. She and her partner have already won the World Championship and the Asian Games gold medal, just one Olympic gold medal away from the "Grand Slam".
The significance of the Olympic Games, for Chen Qingchen, the importance is self-evident. In order to achieve good results and achieve "Grand Slam", there are also many obstacles.
Affected by the epidemic, the Chinese badminton national team has not participated in international competitions since the All England Open in March last year, but has successively trained in Shuangliu, Chengdu and Lingshui, Hainan. For the strength of the opponent, it can only be understood through the game video for the time being.
In the group, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan are in the same group as Jin Zhaoying/Kong Xirong, and the other two pairs of the group are not average in strength. After qualifying from the group, you will encounter Japan's Yuki Fukushima and Caihua Hirota or Indonesia's Polly and Lahayu.
The arena is unpredictable, like a storm. The best way to resist a storm is to be the center of the storm. "In the preparation stage, we must put more pressure on ourselves and fully imagine what kind of difficulties we will encounter in the Olympic Games." Chen Qingchen has said publicly.
"You must bite every point on the field, firmly believe that you can win the game, and the establishment of strong self-confidence is based on the hard work on the field." Obviously, she and Jia Yifan were fully prepared.
With a total of 3 wins, the group qualified strongly; in the quarterfinals, in the case of losing one set first, reversed the world number one Yuki Fukushima / Hirota Caihua; in the semifinals, they defeated Kim Joo-young and Kong Hee-yong again 2-0 and stepped into the final door. The young duo showed composure beyond their age. Facing the camera, Chen Qingchen smiled happily. "We already have a silver medal, fight for the gold medal in the next game."
In this whole game, the combination of Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan left a deep impression on the fans because of the full vitality when playing and the must fight for each ball, and many netizens also paid attention to the badminton game because of their attention. "True temperament! It's so appealing! Netizen @Chen Gengau said.
"Good news awaits you in Paris!"
At the award ceremony, watching Polly bring a gold medal to Lahayu, Jia Yifan and Chen Qingchen hugged each other and cried. This sad scene made netizens feel pained, and they left messages to send comfort: "Don't cry, don't cry, today is really a bit unkind, but remember these experiences!" The mountains are very tall, there will always be times when they can't be turned over, fortunately, the time behind is still long, and you still have the opportunity to turn over one by one."
Chen Qingchen's good friend and famous singer Li Keqin also sent encouragement: "On this world's largest stage, few people can succeed once. Having absorbed the experience of this final, I hope that you will continue to work hard and continue to fight in the next three years, and you are still our pride. ”
The Olympic silver medal meant that there was still room for improvement, and the mortal dust combination was well aware of this. "Silver is also an encouragement that we can do better. We are still young and will actively prepare for the next Paris Olympic Games. ”
Only those who are not afraid to climb, only those who are not afraid of the tide of the waves, can climb the peak to collect fairy grass, and go deep into the water to find pearls.
After the press conference, Chen Qingchen published an article on Weibo entitled "Regret is often there", she said: After getting off the podium, everything starts again, and it is a good man again.
The new Olympic cycle began, after the baptism of the final, I believe that Chen Qingchen's mentality will also become more mature, the level of technical and tactical skills will also be improved, the era that belongs to her has just begun, and the scenery behind it is more exciting, as netizens said, "Continue to ducky!" The gold medal in Paris awaits you! ”。
