The enlightenment coach is "Ultraman"
Zou Jingyuan was born into an ordinary citizen family in Cuiping District, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, the second eldest in the family, and has an older brother who is 4 years older than him. Don't look at Zou Jingyuan in the arena with ease, but in fact, when he was a child, his health was not good, after birth, Zou Jingyuan had poor physique, often had a fever, at least 2 months to enter the hospital, injections and infusions. Zou Jingyuan has a small amount of food, and when he goes to kindergarten, he eats a small half bowl of rice. When asked about the one thing that her mother Liu Liqun was most impressed by when Zou Jingyuan was a child, Liu Liqun said: "That is to chase After Zou Jingyuan to feed!" Because she was always worried that her son would not have enough to eat, Liu Liqun often chased after Zou Jingyuan to feed.
To talk about Zou Jingyuan's gymnastics enlightenment coach, that is "Ultraman", when he was a child, because he liked to watch Ultraman cartoons, Zou Jingyuan would also learn to do Ultraman to do handstands, he often jumped around on the sofa and bed, there was a trampoline in Yibin People's Park near his home, Zou Jingyuan did not want to come down as soon as he got on the trampoline, even if it was a split horse, it was very easy for him.
In the summer of 2001, Li Xiaobing, a gymnastics coach at Yibin Amateur Sports School, went to the Golden Street Kindergarten in the urban area to select athletes and seedlings, and he caught a glimpse of Zou Jingyuan. "Zou Jingyuan's physique is relatively good, and his body shape is very suitable for practicing gymnastics." Li Xiaobing said that after Zou Jingyuan entered the municipal amateur sports school in 2002, he trained very hard, and his parents were also very supportive of their children's sports.
Speaking of the original intention of letting Zou Jingyuan learn gymnastics, her mother Liu Liqun said: "At that time, we didn't know much about gymnastics, anyway, thinking about sports, it must be good for the body." I hope he will strengthen his exercise and eat more when he is well. ”
What makes her mother Liu Liqun happy is that after one or two years of training in the amateur sports school, Zou Jingyuan's physique has improved significantly, and he will never get sick for a cold and because of injections and hospitalization.
After entering the amateur sports school, Zou Jingyuan's talent quickly showed, Zou Jingyuan rarely cried because of training, and when asked why Zou Jingyuan did not cry, the young Zou Jingyuan replied, "I don't think it hurts." ”
I have only lived twice in my new home in Yibin in ten years
In fact, Zou Jingyuan's family is not well-off, his father Zou Zhiping is a laid-off employee of a food company, and he runs a food store with his wife Liu Liqun. Grandma also lives with the whole family. Mother Liu Liqun clearly remembers that in 2004 Zou Jingyuan entered the Sichuan Provincial Sports School training, when he went to Chengdu was not yet 7 years old, because he was too young, Liu Liqun was very reluctant to let his son be alone in the field, so in order to be with his son as much as possible, Liu Liqun every Friday at 11 pm, took the slow train from Yibin to Chengdu, after 6 hours of bumps, the next day arrived in Chengdu at 6 o'clock in the morning; at 11 o'clock on Sunday night, Liu Liqun took a slow train from Chengdu to Yibin, which also took 6 hours. In order to save money to buy milk for her son, Liu Liqun has been sitting on a hard seat. "A car sleeper costs 50 yuan, while a hard seat costs 25 yuan."
Zou Jingyuan is a child who misses his family, when he first arrived in Chengdu, every time his parents went to visit him, he hoped that his parents would not leave, once, the couple took advantage of their son's lack of attention, sneaked away, Zou Jingyuan found out and chased out, looking for parents everywhere in the middle of the night. And each time the difference was difficult for Zou Jingyuan to accept, so every time he left, he and his mother cried with headaches. This situation lasted for about half a year, and Zou Jingyuan finally adapted to the life of the base.
In 2012, 14-year-old Zou Jingyuan entered the national team. After Zou Jingyuan arrived in Beijing, it was even more difficult for the family to reunite. The only opportunity for reunion is for Zou Zhiping and Liu Liqun to go to Beijing to accompany their son for the New Year. After the family ate a reunion dinner, Zou Jingyuan hurried back to training.
Recalling these years, Zou Jingyuan's mother said: "The number of times I went home was too small. Zou Jingyuan's parents have been moving to their home on the south bank of Yibin for 10 years, but Zou Jingyuan has only stayed in this "new home" for two nights in the past 10 years, and every time he returns, he hastily leaves to continue to participate in training and competitions.
At today's Tokyo Olympic Games, Zou Jingyuan gave a perfect performance. In the qualifying round, Zou Jingyuan scored 16.166 points and ranked all the players in the qualifiers to advance to the final. In the final, Zou Jingyuan made his second appearance. In the end, Zou Jingyuan resisted the huge pressure and played well, with a difficulty score of 6.9 points, a completion score of 9.333 points, and 16.233 points, ranking first in the final result and getting a gold medal. Germany's Lucas won the silver medal, Turkey's Arikon won the bronze medal, and China's You Hao finished fourth.
