The Olympic Games is the world's largest multi-sport event hosted by the International Olympic Committee, which is held every four years and is the most influential sports event in the world. For athletes, being able to win olympic gold medals is the greatest honor of athletes and their greatest pursuit.
Gymnastics is a strong sport in Chinese sports, and the Chinese gymnastics team has produced many world champions and Olympic champions, won many Olympic gold medals, and made contributions to Chinese sports.
Liu Xuan is a member of the Chinese gymnastics team, and was once the captain and leader of the Chinese gymnastics team. She won a lot of championships.
Liu Xuan was born in August 1979 in Changsha, Hunan Province, and is a former Chinese gymnast. Liu Xuan began gymnastics training in 1984 at the age of 5 and joined the Hunan Provincial Gymnastics Team in 1987. In 1992, Liu Xuan won the National Gymnastics Championships on uneven bars, and in 1993, he won the women's team championship at the 7th National Games. She won the women's team championship at the 1994 Asian Games and the women's individual all-around championships at the 1995 International Gymnastics Championships in the women's individual all-around competition. With Liu Xuan's technical level at that time, he was naturally the key training object of the gymnastics team and an important candidate for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.
Liu Xuan's main opponent at the time was the number one player of the Russian women's gymnastics team, Khorkina, who won the 1996 and 2000 Olympic high and low bar championships. Khorkina won a total of 57 gold medals in her career, and she is very beautiful and is known as the "Ice Beauty".
In order to deal with Khorkina, Liu Xuan created a one-armed giant slalom. This is an extremely difficult action with a very high difficulty factor. In the 1996 World Championships uneven bars qualifiers, Liu Xuan won the first place with this action. However, in the final, the referee team temporarily demoted Liu Xuan's self-created difficult actions to the group, and the final ranking dropped from the first to the ninth. The referee team also made an excuse, saying that this action was not conducive to the physical development of the girls.
The decision of the referee group hit Liu Xuan very hard. Because the Atlanta Olympics will be held in two months, Liu Xuan cannot practice new moves in a short period of time. Coupled with the fact that she had a ligament injury at that time, she did not achieve a good position at the Atlanta Olympics. This was the darkest day of Liu Xuan's athletic career.
Fortunately, the Chinese gymnastics team was very optimistic and trusted Liu Xuan, and in November 1997, Liu Xuan was appointed as the captain of the Chinese women's gymnastics team. In April 1998, Liu Xuan won the Women's Uneven Bars Championship in Canada in the World Cup Gymnastics Series. This is Liu Xuan's first time to win the Women's High and Low Bar Championship in the World Cup. In May 1998, Liu Xuan won the Women's Balance Beam World Cup. At the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Liu Xuan won a gold medal with a high score of 9.825 in the women's gymnastics balance beam competition, which also ended the history of the Chinese women's gymnastics balance beam event without an Olympic champion. In December 2001, Liu Xuan announced his retirement.
After retiring from the army, Liu Xuan did not work in sports or politics, but entered the acting world. In 2001, Liu Xuan cooperated with Xu Jinglei, Chen Xiaodong and others to participate in the urban emotional film "My Beautiful Homesickness". Liu Xuan played the heroine Xiaomei in the film, and won the bronze award for the most popular actress in the same year. Later, Liu Xuan participated in "My Father and Me", "The Ultimate Goal", "Female Fist", "Those Girls in Police Uniforms" and other films.
Introduced by the famous host He Jiong, Liu Xuan met Wang Tao. In December 2013, Liu Xuan and her husband Wang Tao held a romantic "wedding at sea" on star cruises in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong. After marriage, the life of the two is very happy and sweet, and they have a pair of children.
Born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Wang Tao is more than a year older than Liu Xuan, a clarinet player and teacher in mainland China. He was tall, mild-mannered, and a very handsome man. There are rumors that Wang Tao's family is very rich, and the two have not admitted it. Recently, Liu Xuan was interviewed and opened her heart to admit that her husband's family was prominent.
Liu Xuan did not reveal how prominent her husband's family really was, but said that he had financial resources. At the same time, she also praised her husband as a very talented artist. In August 2016, Liu Xuan announced the establishment of his own sports brand "Balance Faction" in Beijing, officially entering the business world. Without a certain economic foundation, it is difficult to do sportswear brands. This is not an indirect indication that the economic conditions of her husband's family are good.
