On November 2, Beijing time, gymnastics world champion Liu Tingting spoke out for her mentor Wang Qunce through social media, which aroused strong concern among netizens.
Liu Tingting wrote: "I am very fortunate to be a member of the team of Wang Dao Xu Dao and Lu Dao, and in these nine short and long years, it is you who have taught me many, many things to achieve today's me." I am very grateful to my three coaches, you have made me a shining star, thank you. Rumors stop at the wise, I wish you all a happy life! ”
The matter began with a statement issued late at night by Wang Qunce, the coach of the Chinese gymnastics team, in which he said that some netizens had long stigmatized, demonized and personally attacked themselves through various platforms, causing an uproar. Soon after Wang Qunce issued a statement, his disciple Liu Tingting stood up for his mentor, and the teacher-apprentice relationship was deeply admired.
Liu Tingting, 21, is one of the most refereed members of the Chinese women's gymnastics team in the last Olympic cycle, with a tall and beautiful posture, and has many fans overseas. After missing the 2016 Rio Olympic Games due to injury, Liu Tingting was not crushed, but became more and more courageous, defeating the american famous Biles who was still in the sky at the 2018 Gymnastics World Championships in the balance beam final to win the championship and climb the list of world championships of the Chinese gymnastics team. Although she once again missed the Olympic stage due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games for one year, after leading the Guangdong team to win the gold medal of the gymnastics women's team at the 14th National Games, Liu Tingting still drew a successful end to her brilliant sports career.
