In the past two years, there have been many "goddesses" of Chinese athletics, such as Hu Linpeng in the high jump, such as Chen Ting in the triple jump, but to say that the athletics goddess with the olympic and world championships impact medal strength, there is only one, that is, Li Ling in pole vaulting. Li Ling is the champion of the Asian Games, the champion of the Asian Championships, the asian record holder, and arguably the greatest female pole vaulter in Asian history.
At the 2019 World Athletics Championships Trials, Li Ling easily won the championship with 4.56 meters, although there is still a big gap from her own Asian record of 4 meters 72, but she obviously has reservations. Li Ling recently learned from Bübka and Ishinbayeva's mentor, the pole vaulting Tsar Petrov, and Li Ling confessed that she had benefited a lot: "There is a feeling of epiphany. For example, the action of the towbar during the run, the direction of the jump, and the control of the body after the jump, the coach patiently pointed out. Petrov admitted that Li Ling's skills and talent are very good and she learns things quickly, but due to her thin and tall body (height 1 meter 86, weight 66 kilograms), compared with European and American players, strength and explosiveness are lacking.
Li Ling is actually not a young athlete anymore, but she really reached the peak of her career at the age of 30, mainly because the sciatic bone injury has always affected her, but now she has basically recovered. The beautiful and elegant Li Ling has been married for two years, and many netizens will guess that she must be married to a super rich, just like Fu Mingxia Guo Jingjing Zhang Yining (well-known beautiful female athletes marry basically this routine), but in fact, her husband is a retired male pole vaulter Yang Yansheng, the common hobby and career, is Li Ling's pursuit, because only in this way can she get the full support of the other half, and devote herself to pole vaulting without distraction.
Li Ling has a natural supermodel figure, height 1 meter 86, a pair of apricot eyes charming and moving, usually basically plain face she really wants to dress up, enough to compete with many entertainment industry goddesses, it is said that there have been performing arts companies to contact her to retire as an actor, as a model, but she smiled, because her goal is the medal of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, and other things are not considered now.
Li Ling is one of the few athletes in the Chinese track and field team whose sports level is "international athlete", and compared with the fresh little girls such as Hu Linpeng and Chen Ting, Li Ling's beauty is more mature, more dignified and more charming. Due to the low profile of life, Li Ling's popularity is not particularly high, but the athletics team will become a super IP of Chinese sports sooner or later - only a medal from the Olympic Games or the World Championships as a tipping point.
