Recently, a lot of things have happened in the Chinese swimming world, in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, the Chinese swimming team has gained a lot, especially the goddess-level Liu Xiang of the women's team, who also won the championship with a world record-breaking result, which really gave the Chinese people a long face. And more and more post-00s athletes are beginning to emerge, which really makes us feel relieved and excited. In fact, recalling the glorious experience of the Chinese swimming team, I have to mention a talented swimmer, she is the queen of the world's short distance freestyle, her name is Le Jingyi.
Le Jingyi was born in 1975 and is an authentic Shanghainese girl. When she was a child, she suffered from bronchitis because of her poor health, so her father let her learn to swim for her health. When I first started learning, it was not very smooth, because of the lack of physical strength, I was recommended to practice high jump, practiced for a while because of insufficient leg strength, and was returned to the synchronized swimming team, but in the flower tour team because of the long legs and teammates, it was returned, and finally returned to the swimming team. But then this return turned out to be correct, because this return made us wait for a world champion.
With the development and growth of Le Jingyi gradually revealed her talent, because her figure is shoulder width, small hips, legs long, watery, defined as the standard female flying fish figure, so her growth and progress is very fast. She entered the national team in 1991, and in the 1993 World University Games, Le Jingyi won her first world championship. Since then, she has been out of control, breaking the world record five times and winning five gold medals at the first Short Pool World Championships. At the 1994 Swimming Championships in Rome, she won four gold medals by breaking 4 world records and became the star of the world's attention.
At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, she broke the Olympic record and won the championship with a time of 54.50 seconds in the women's 100m freestyle, which was the only gold medal won by the Chinese delegation at that Olympic Games.
However, with the end of the Olympic Games, Le Jingyi gradually faded out of the national team and chose to retire at the age of 23. Like many athletes after retiring, Le Jingyi also faces many choices, because the athletes' experience is too single, so the future is full of unknowns and confusion.
Le Jingyi first went to the United States to study, because she liked small animals, she chose the veterinary profession, but there was no professional foundation for her, and the discipline of veterinary medicine was too difficult for her to give up. Because she liked Japanese manga, she opened a manga bookstore in front of Fudan University, and a few years later, the bookstore also closed. So in the past few years, she has been groping for her future according to her interests.
However, because she was an athlete and specialized in sports and fitness, she returned to China to open a fitness club, which eventually persisted and assumed the responsibility of cultivating a new generation of swimming talents for Shanghai. Although she has long disappeared from the public eye, she has been quietly involved in national fitness and youth training, and she is currently the president of the Xuhui District Swimming Association and the president of the Shanghai Youth Sports Federation.
After retiring from the army, Lejingyi pursued a peaceful and happy life, she had her own hobbies and circles, diving became her favorite sport at the moment, and she also participated in the promotion of other water sports, such as motorboating and sailing windsurfing. She is passionate about public welfare undertakings and has played a positive role in the development of sports and development in China.
The career is stable, and the life of Lejingyi is also happy. Le Jingyi has a pair of children, and they have gradually grown up, and they have long learned to swim under the influence of their mother. But Le Jingyi is more looking forward to taking her children to diving and exploring the secret world of the depths of the ocean.
However, Le Jingyi, who has been quiet for many years recently, is about to make a comeback, and she is going to attack the gold medal. However, instead of participating in the Olympic Games, it participates in the World Swimming Championships Masters, which is reserved after the end of the annual swimming world championships - the world championships of retired players. In order to be able to achieve good results, Le Jingyi is currently admitted to the hospital and begins to recover physically and treat old injuries. She will continue to appear in the world next year.
Do you have any expectations for Lejingyi?
