In Guo Jingjing's diving career, Fu Mingxia is the only existence that can compete with her.
Even Yu Fen, the joint coach of the two, said: Fu Mingxia is the most satisfactory work in my life.
At the age of 13, she became the first board double champion in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games at the age of 18, defeated Guo Jingjing at the age of 22 to achieve a 3-meter board diving to defend her title, but at the age of 24, she married the "bad old man" who was 26 years older than her.
This woman who frightened the diving world has never taken the usual path.
In 1978, Fu Mingxia was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
She was sent by her father to learn gymnastics at an early age because of her weakness, but she was naughty and did not get the approval of the gymnastics team, but was kicked to the diving team like a ball.
As a result, at the age of 12, Fu Mingxia was selected for the national diving team, and since then she has embarked on a journey to win gold.
It can be said that the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the National Games, the highest point of the podium, must stand Fu Mingxia.
At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, she defended her 10m platform champion by 42 points ahead of the third place.
Who knew that at this time, she had a cold.
In the case of her body, she won the championship again with a score of more than 20 points ahead of her opponents, becoming the first plate double in the history of Chinese Olympic diving.
Although Fu Mingxia is a genius, behind the crown of genius, there is also a history of blood and tears.
When she first entered the diving team, Fu Mingxia couldn't even swim. In the end, it was her father who tied her with a rope and kept throwing it into the pool, so that she got rid of the title of "dry duck".
At the same time, Fu Mingxia's leg condition was not outstanding.
So her parents used more than 100 pounds of weight every night to take turns to press her legs, and she often cried in pain.
But under the tempering day after day, she understood the good intentions of her parents, and the training became more and more serious, and the results improved by leaps and bounds. You see, even geniuses don't want to get it for free.
But counting Fu Mingxia's achievements in the diving world, far more than a double champion.
She was also a milestone in single-handedly alerting the Olympic Committee to change its rules.
Two
In July 1992, at the age of 13, Fu Mingxia won the gold medal in the 10-meter platform jump at the Olympic Games.
As a result, the Olympic Committee changed regulations overnight to prohibit players under the age of 14 from participating in diving competitions.
Although this move is too targeted, it also means that the world's youngest diving champion will always be Fu Mingxia.
After that, she won the gold medal, which really supported this honor.
However, no one expected that at the age of 19, Fu Mingxia, who was in her golden age, suddenly announced her retirement and became a student of the Department of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University.
Because she wants to be an Olympic champion with a poetry book more than an Olympic champion.
However, as the Sydney Olympic Games approached, Fu Mingxia's diving heart was rekindled, so she decided to make a comeback.
But to her surprise, because of her retirement, she has long since lost her qualification to participate in the Olympic trials.
In order to get a place, Fu Mingxia could only compete from the threshold.
So she stood on the children's diving competition, with an advantage of 200 points ahead of the children, and won the promotion qualification.
After that, she fought from the provincial level to the municipal level and successfully qualified for the Olympic Games.
However, at the World Championships before the Olympic Games, she met her fierce rival Guo Jingjing.
Before he competed in the Olympics, he was snatched away by the up-and-comers.
In other words, can you swallow this breath?
Anyway, Fu Mingxia couldn't. So after returning to the national team, she quickly formulated a series of plans to practice diving externally and train her mentality internally.
Finally, at the Sydney Olympic Games, she defeated Guo Jingjing to win the championship with an 11-point advantage, and achieved the defense of this event.
A year later, Fu Mingxia officially retired from the army and then returned to Tsinghua to complete her studies. When people saw her again, it was a household advertisement.
Before retiring, Fu Mingxia worked hard to dive, and after retiring, this became her gold-sucking weapon.
She is not only the well-deserved "advertising queen", but also able to recover from the scandal.
In early 2001, Fu Mingxia won sprite's endorsement and held a press conference in Guangzhou.
But afterwards, someone pulled out that the pants that Fu Mingxia wore that day were printed with English profanity, which instantly caused an uproar.
The advertiser responded quickly, saying that the clothing prepared for Fu Mingxia was too tight, and she was forced to change into the clothes of her female companion, not noticing English.
Under the aura of an Olympic champion, no one is held accountable.
But not long after, Fu Mingxia once again swept Hong Kong with a news of marrying a "26-year-old man who was older than her".
Three
In 2002, 24-year-old diving queen Fu Mingxia married Leung Kam-sung, a 26-year-old Hong Kong tycoon who was 26 years older than herself.
This Leung Kam-song, who was only 2 years younger than her father, not only had a billionaire wealth, but also was the financial secretary of Hong Kong at the time, a core figure in Hong Kong's financial circle.
During his tenure, he generated $3 trillion in revenue for Hong Kong and reduced house prices by nearly 70 percent, making him quite prestigious in the region.
At an event in 2001, Liang Jinsong fell in love with Fu Mingxia at first sight and immediately launched a fierce pursuit.
The two were in love for only 3 months before they held a flash marriage. The marriage of a young woman to a rich and bad old man is inevitably reminiscent.
For a time, whether Fu Mingxia married her husband or married fame and fortune became the focus of discussion in the Hong Kong media.
In the face of criticism, Fu Mingxia said calmly: she cannot influence the views of others, and others have no right to interfere in her life.
In fact, whether it interferes or not, Fu Mingxia's marriage to Liang Jinsong is far from being high-flying.
After retiring from the army, she topped the crown of the Diving Queen, which was quite popular with advertisers, and reached 7 figures in her early 2000s.
In addition, she has never lacked suitors.
Footballer Nanfang and diver Yu Yue are always thinking of her.
Even Liang Chaowei was photographed having dinner with her.
What's more, the Olympic champion is famous all over the world, and the financial secretary is only limited to Hong Kong.
So where does Fu Mingxia count as worshiping gold? But Leung Kam-song's status in Hong Kong overshadowed her aura.
However, the criticism of "high marriage" is not over, and the Hong Kong media has broken a secret story, pointing out that Liang Jinsong and Fu Mingxia's agent and girlfriend have had too close contacts and are suspected of cheating.
There are even rumors that Liang Jinsong had many secret meetings with his agents before marriage. Afterwards, the broker denied the matter for the first time.
But the strange thing is that she and Fu Mingxia gradually drifted apart after that, so clarification did not work.
In this scandal, Fu Mingxia only said one sentence, that is, to come forward and declare that she believed in her husband.
Later, he gave birth to 1 daughter and 2 sons for Liang Jinsong, completely consolidated his position, and lived a secluded life of Xiangfu godson.
She lives in a marriott mansion with a nanny at all times and travels the world as she pleases.
Is she marrying well? Not.
Everything she gets now is because she fought for the Olympic title.
