Intern Wang Wanying
On August 6, in the women's 20 km race walking competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games, China's Yang Jiayu, Qieyang Shijie and Liu Hong competed in three golden flowers. In the end, Liu Hong won the bronze medal, QieYangShijie won the 7th place, and Yang Jiayu was sentenced to a two-minute suspension for eating three red cards in the game, and finally only won the 12th place.
Seeing the name Ofe YangShi, the audience was curious, is she a minority? Born in 1990, Cheyang Shijie is an authentic Tibetan girl who won a silver medal in the women's 20 km race walk at the London Olympics in 2012 and is the first Chinese Tibetan athlete in Olympic history.
She is calm, calm and domineering on the field; she is cheerful, lively and quiet off the field. Some people say that she is a girl who loves to laugh; she says that she is a girl who loves to cry. But no matter what kind of her, there is always a kind of strength in her heart, which supports her to fight all the time and move forward with her dreams.
The stoic "Gesang Flower"
Sister Cheyang Shi was born in Ganzihe Township, Haiyan County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, to an ordinary Tibetan herdsman family, and like many Tibetans, poverty has always haunted their lives. But Tibetan children are born cheerful, optimistic, simple and honest, since the age of 6, Sister Qiyangshi has followed her father to graze, and Sister Qiyangshi has shown athletic talent since she was a child, she learned to ride a horse at the age of 9, and she can always win back the award at the school sports meeting.
Seeing that Sister Cheyang Shi has a certain talent in sports, sports may be a way out of poverty, so her parents sent her to a sports school and began to practice athletics.
For her beloved apprentice, Zhou Xiaoyun, the enlightenment coach of Sister Qieyang Shi, commented on this: "She has been a child who does not accept defeat since she was a child. "In Zhou Xiaoyun's eyes, Sister Qieyang Shi is a Tibetan girl with a cheerful, honest and simple personality." From the very beginning of practicing middle and long distance running, she has a momentum of not accepting defeat, and her competitive personality is very distinct, which is very important for athletes. “
In the fifth grade of primary school, Sister QieyangShi began to practice long-distance running with Zhou Xiaoyun, because it was an amateur sports school, and Sister Qieyangshi and other sports school peers practiced in their spare time.
Zhou Xiaoyun said that at that time, because of the limited conditions, the school did not have a venue, and all students could only practice on the road. Although the conditions are difficult, But Sister Cheyangshi has never been passive and slack, in the middle and long-distance running competition of the school sports meeting, Sister Cheyangshi can always achieve excellent results.
"It's not so much that I chose race walking as it is that race walking chose me"
In September 2006, Sister Qieyang Shi entered the Qinghai Provincial Sports School. Since 2008, Cheyang Shijie has begun to switch to race walking, and who would have thought that the world-famous race walker and race walking association was just an accident. "What I started practicing was not race walking, it was middle and long distance running." It is a coincidence that I can get involved in race walking. At that time, the race walking team selected athletes, and the coach asked Sister Cheyang Shi to accompany her teammate Li Maocuo to the playground to "walk two laps", but I did not expect that the "small sparring partner" who was inadvertently pulled away this time became a world-renowned race walker in the future.
"It's not so much that I chose race walking as it is that race walking chose me." Sister Cheyangshi said.
The pains and challenges of the transition are extremely painful for athletes, and no one but the coach, teammates and themselves can understand, understand and understand. Different technical systems, different competition rules, different arena environments, everything is a new beginning. "It's really hard, it's too difficult, the time to go is long, and the movement is inevitably deformed." At that time, I was particularly afraid of eating cards, and I always paid attention to where the referee was in during the game, and sometimes I deliberately hid behind others, afraid that the referee would see the technical action foul. ”
From April 2008 to march 2009, when she first stepped onto the race walking field, she made her mark in national race walking competitions in just 11 months. Although she only won the 4th place, Sister Cheyangshi became famous in one battle. Since then, she has won numerous medals in the National Games, Asian Games, Olympic Games, World Athletics Championships and other large and small events.
Third Olympic appearance
This Tokyo Olympic Games is also the third time that Cheyang Shijie has participated in the Olympic arena, for her, from the Haibei grassland in Qinghai to the international arena, from obscurity to desire to have more medals, this Tibetan girl has never slowed down the pace of chasing her dreams.
The name Cheyangshi sister of the 2012 London Olympics is remembered by countless Chinese, and she won the third place in the women's 20 km race walk with a record-breaking Asian record, becoming the first Tibetan athlete to win an Olympic medal.
But after the London Olympics, this smiling Tibetan girl gradually faded from people's vision. Few people know that in those years, Sister Cheyang Shi experienced the process of moving from the peak to the trough.
Before participating in the London Olympics, CheyangShijie's best record in the competition was fifth in the Daegu World Championships, and her personal best was 1 hour 27 minutes and 04 seconds. But when she debuted at the Olympic Games, she not only won the bronze medal, but also broke the Asian record held by her sister Liu Hong in 1 hour, 25 minutes and 16 seconds. At that time, her coach Zhang Fuxin also called "super level play" after the game.
But behind the "super level of play" is the cost of physical and mental overdraft. After the Olympic Games, Sister CheyangShi suddenly found herself "unable to walk", and her tired body could not even withstand the intensity of daily training.
"In those years, my grades went up relatively quickly, and the fatigue accumulated every year, and slowly my body was a bit unbearable. Especially the Olympic game was a big drain on my body, and after that game my body really didn't work. Sister Cheyangshi recalled.
At the World Championships in Moscow in August 2013, Cheyangshi was 15th in 1 hour, 31 minutes and 15 seconds. Disheartened in October, she made a painful decision to bid farewell to the national team and return to her home in Haibei, Qinghai.
In the first two months of returning home, Sister Qieyangshi locked herself at home, eating and sleeping badly, and struggling with where to go in the future. "Every time I want to give up, I always feel that something is not yet done. Unwilling, regretful, or want to fight. She said.
Suddenly, one day, she wanted to go outside, so she booked a train ticket to Go to Tibet that day. "After a total of about 10 days, it felt like people suddenly quieted down, and others may sound a bit exaggerated, but they just feel like a changed person." Sister Cheyangshi said.
It was her trip to Tibet that made her re-examine herself and regain her inner peace. But after returning, Sister Cheyangshi did not immediately return to the national team, but continued to rest to make up for the lack of health owed by years of hard training.
In October 2014, after a year of no training and no competition, Cheyangshi returned to the national team and won the ticket to the Rio Olympic Games with strong will and persistence. During the trip to Rio, Sister Qieyang Shi failed to continue the glory of 4 years ago, And Qiyang tried her best, and finally did not enter the top three, and she returned to China with regrets.
This time participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games, winning the medal is the only wish of Cheyang Shijie. From London to Tokyo, 10 years of youth, 10 years of dreams, this Tibetan girl she never stopped, has been on the road.
Coach Cheyang Shi once said to her: "Run enough 80,000 miles, you can get the first." "Every time she goes on the field, her goals and beliefs never change." As long as the competition, it is running to the gold medal. No one on the field is afraid of anyone, the biggest opponent is himself, to come up with the best competitive state and mental outlook, because I represent China, represent Qinghai. Sister Cheyangshi said.
On August 6, although In the women's 20 km race walk final at the Tokyo Olympics, Cheyang Shijie only finished seventh, this is by no means the finish line, but a new beginning.
Nowadays, the deeds of Sister Qieyang Shi are known to everyone in the Haibei grassland. She is a role model for countless children, and her perseverance and courage to fight sportsmanship have surpassed the value on the field.
