Winning the National Games championship, Yang Lei can be described as the first person in the national 400 meters who deserves it now. In an interview with Red Star News after the game, Yang Lei said: "Today I am still quite satisfied with my performance. Although I was chased fiercely by the runners behind me in the last 20 meters, I ran at my own pace the whole time. ”
Talking about the next goal, Yang Lei said: "At present, it is to focus on the next relay race. When asked by reporters about the goal of the relay, Yang Lei raised his index finger to a "1" gesture, saying only two simple words: "Champion!" ”

Good at using the brain and working hard
The training foot is full of bubbles
Yang Lei, 26, is a native of Lianxing Village, Mucheng Town, Jiajiang County. On September 22, the news of Yang Lei's victory quickly spread in the local area, and relatives and friends came to Yang Lei's home to congratulate their family.
According to Yang Lei's second father, Yang Qilin, Yang Lei has liked to run on the mountain since he was a child, and often disappears as soon as he runs. "We joked that he grew up to be an athlete, but I didn't expect him to actually become an athlete and win a medal."
"I haven't seen Yang Lei for a long time, and he is particularly busy in training." Yang Lei's mother, Xu Dexiu, said, "The weather is hot, and Yang Lei's feet are all soaked because of training. That day in the video with his dad, I saw the blisters on his feet and hid to the side to wipe away the tears for a long time. Although the couple was distressed, they have been silently supportive.

Teacher Fang Yong, the class teacher and coach of Yang Lei High School, introduced that Yang Lei had not trained before high school, and had not even participated in the county sports meeting. At that time, the selected trainees caught his eye at a glance and felt that his conditions were good in all aspects. 3 years of hard training, he paid a lot. He was not worried about his physical fitness level at all, and at the same time, he could not leave the cultural class and should be arrested together.
In Fang Yong's view, in training, Yang Lei is good at using his brain and working hard, "When he participates in the competition, we often communicate. Encourage him to play well and not to have a psychological burden. In the next competition, I also hope that he will continue to attack his second and third National Games gold medals in athletics.
