What is the current status of the older generation of Olympic champions? The kind of life that is difficult after retirement is always a small part, and most people are still very successful after retiring. For example, the weightlifting champion Zhan Xugang, after retiring from the army, also went to politics quite successfully, two years ago, that is, at the age of 44, he became the president of the university, and there are famous athletes such as Luo Xuejuan Zhou Suhong in the school.
In addition, Zhan Xugang's personal life is also very complete, although he is 1 meter 7 tall and his appearance is not proud, he married a slim and sexy flight attendant with a sweet and beautiful face.
For the younger generation of friends, Zhan Xugang's name may not have been heard, in fact, Zhan Xugang was also very brilliant at the beginning, and it has drawn a strong stroke in the development of weightlifting in China.
Although he was not very tall from a young age, he was always a Hercules, so the family pushed the boat along the water to let him enter the sports school. Under the professional and regular training, Zhan Xugang's talent was further excavated and naturally entered the national team. And before he was 20 years old, Zhan Xugang was already able to compete with world-class weightlifters. At the Olympic Games in 1996, the 22-year-old Zhan Xugang exploded, lifting not only an unattainable weight, but also breaking three world records and becoming an Olympic champion.
Four years later, in the Olympic Games, Zhan Xu just went bad, the result of 160 kg made him rank fourth, no one expected, and finally he lifted a weight of 207.5 kg that he had never lifted before, and won a gold medal again. However, the peak period of athletes is only a few years, the two Olympic Games have been 8 years, and Zhan Xugang, who is already in his thirties at the 2004 Olympic Games, failed to continue the legend, and then announced his retirement.
After retiring from the army, Zhan Xu began to take charge of sports-related management in Zhejiang Province, and the person in charge was weightlifting. In 2005, he was also the director of Zhejiang Sports Vocational and Technical College, (this school sounds a little unpleasant, but it is actually not bad, Luo Xuejuan Zhou Suhong also worked here). Because of his dedication to his work, Zhan Xugang was also promoted continuously, serving as a torchbearer in 2008, and became a local committee member and standing committee member in 15 years, and was also recommended to be a deputy county governor.
In the second year after retiring from the army, Zhan Xugang also completed a major event in his life - marrying a wife and having children. Although Zhan Xugang was only 1 meter 7 and was not so handsome when he retired, his wife was very beautiful and was a flight attendant. Zhan Xugang looks old because of hard work, but his wife is well maintained, and when the two are in the same frame, some people even ridicule that Zhan Xugang is like his wife's father. Zhan Xugang is really wronged, in fact, the two are still each other's first love, the relationship is very good, and his wife quit her job as a flight attendant after marriage and became his kennel helper.
Now Zhan Xugang and his wife have their own children and often go to watch the game together. Looking back on most of Zhan Xugang's life, it is really very smooth, and I hope that he can start well and end well, while making more contributions to the country's sports cause, teaching more descendants like Shi Zhiyong, and at the same time wanting a happy family.
