At the age of 1, Grandpa took the burden and sent them to the provincial team. Xiao Shuang trained very hard. In order to pull the ligament, the coach pressed himself on his delicate leg, but he didn't cry until he passed the test. In order to practice the horizontal bar, he wore out his hands and dyed the horizontal bar red with blood.
but fate has been playing tricks on this young man. Rejected by the national team twice. After entering, he was not taken seriously. For this reason, Xiao Shuang thought that the coach must show his skills in the 11th Asian Games and finally win the individual gold medal of free exercise as he wished.
since p>1991, fate has played tricks on him again. He was injured many times and fell into a slight concussion while testing his new movements for three weeks. Then, in the world championships, he was out of the finals. However, he didn't back down. In the case that his teammates failed in the Barcelona Olympic Games, he lived up to expectations and boldly used the "back flip for three weeks" to win the only gymnastics gold medal for the China Gymnastics Team in the Barcelona Olympic Games. Athletes' inspirational story: diving champion Hu Jia
Hu Jia, some people call him "Desperate Saburo" and others call him "God of War". However, these words should not be associated with a 21-year-old boy. However, in order to wait for the Olympic champion dream for four years, Hu Jia said that he only had to fight and had no retreat!
In the 2 Sydney Olympic Games, the diving team ranked first in Tian Liang, second in Huang Qiang and third in Hu Jia. At that time, there were only two places to participate in the Olympic men's platform event, and Hu Jia was a substitute.
One month before the competition, Huang Qiang trained in wrist fracture. Originally, Huang Qiang and Tian Liang had been playing in pairs. Suddenly, one day, the team informed Hu Jia that it was decided that he and Tian Liang would play in pairs. Everyone understands that Hu Jia has changed from a substitute to a direct election.
Hu Jia didn't expect that he would go to the Olympic Games without winning a single national championship or even participating in a world competition. All of a sudden, public opinion was in uproar. "Are you very happy and nervous to hear this news?" At that time, almost every reporter asked Hu Jia this question. "I am happy, but I am not nervous at all." Hu Jia analyzed the situation at that time: "First of all, at that time, only sautin played against me abroad. We competed three times before the Olympic Games, and I beat him twice. Psychologically, I have no burden. I also won Tian Liang once in Tian Liang's hometown of Xi 'an in June 2. No one else has compared it anyway, so there is no need to be afraid. Born calves are not afraid of tigers. At that time, there was a feeling in my heart that I had no opponent! "
17-year-old Hu Jia went to Sydney lightly. For him, he was a blank sheet of paper, and any result of the competition was normal for him.
In Sydney, Hu Jia danced well in the first three moves, and even six of the seven referees gave him 1 points in the third move. The fledgling boy was 3 points ahead of Tian Liang after the third move. In the fourth movement 626B, Hu Jia kept telling himself, "Jump better, better, better ..." He got on the platform, took off and tumbled in the air, all of which were perfect. At the moment he entered the water, Hu Jia leaned back, followed by a large splash, and the audience hissed! There is no doubt that this action of 626B is ruined. Because of this action, Tian Liang came from behind, 5 points higher than Hu Jia, and ranked first with a total score of 21 points higher than Hu Jia. Hu Jia played a steady role in the last two moves and won back 1 points. But he still lost, lost to Tian Liang, and lost to his own immaturity. Hu Jia returned to China after winning two silver medals in synchronized platform and single platform. Flowers and applause are still waiting for him, but he is particularly unwilling: "If I can control the moment of entering the water better, the champion will be mine!" " Hu Jia began to believe in himself: "If I have enough experience, I have the strength to become an Olympic champion!" "
After p>2, Hu Jia set himself a goal: to defeat Tian Liang, and before Tian Liang retired. "Hu Jia took the initiative to ask the team to make it more difficult for himself. Therefore, Hu Jia began to practice 5255B, the movement with the highest difficulty coefficient at that time. Immediately after the World Diving Championships, Hu Jia made his international debut. Although he only finished fourth, some people began to say that Hu Jia was "the most difficult diver in China". Before long, Hu Jia began to practice 47B. This is a somersault in front of and into the platform. As long as the athletes are not careful, they may touch the platform, which is very dangerous. Someone jumped before, but no one dared to use it in the world series.
The two moves are Hu Jia's killer. In order to practice them well, Hu Jia can't remember how many times he was injured. During the training, the coach asked for five jumps. If Hu Jia is not satisfied, he must add five more to himself until he is satisfied. Hu Jia firmly believes that as long as you work hard, you will succeed one day.
Athens, a new cycle
At the Athens Olympic Games, Hu Jia told himself that he must seize this opportunity. But things often don't go as one wishes. Three months before the Athens Olympic Games, Hu Jia strained his ankle ligament in training. "At that time, my foot was swollen. I thought, finished, it won't be a broken ligament! Don't be the second Huang Qiang. " Fortunately, the team doctor's diagnosis is only a strain. For the next two weeks, Hu Jia stayed in bed under the doctor's orders, and the four major training exercises before the Olympics, namely the 24 World Diving Grand Prix, were also carried out while Hu Jia was in bed. "The Olympic Games is just around the corner. Everyone else is seizing the opportunity of the contest to exercise more, and I ... "Hu Jia felt like a wild goose left behind, utterly confused. One week before the last race of the Grand Prix in Shanghai, Hu Jia finally recovered to participate in some in-team training. Hu Jia told himself that there was only one big competition before the Athens Olympic Games to train. Even if I jumped on one leg, I would go, and I couldn't miss anything. "The injury is not all right yet. It's best not to go." The team leader and coach both gave Hu Jia such advice. Hu Jia didn't change her mind.
One week before the game, Hu Jia said that he used one minute of training time as two minutes, and Hu Jia increased himself like a madman. Finally, he got two shots to block it, and he played. Hu Jia felt a terrible pain in his ankle throughout the game, but Hu Jia still won. It was the most difficult championship in his memory. With the end of the Shanghai Grand Prix, the drums of Athens are slowly ringing.
Hu Jia began to secretly increase the amount for himself again. The coach was afraid that he had practiced, so he criticized him a lot. Hu Jia had his own ideas: "I will definitely try my best to attack any movement that has not been practiced to my satisfaction. Moreover, I feel that my strength is not enough, so I need to practice more. "
In addition to training time, Hu Jia has to drag his parents to play badminton with him every day. He is a pair of two, and the old couple take turns, but they still can't stand it.
"The mood before the Athens Olympic Games is very complicated. I have failed so many times before, and I haven't given up, just because my faith has not broken. Although sometimes I want to vomit after practicing, I will encourage myself to stick to it. "
In the early morning of August 29th, Beijing time, the day that Hu Jia looked forward to finally came. He stood in the position he wanted to stand most-the springboard of the men's 1m platform in Athens Olympic Games. Like Sydney, Hu Jia played normally in the first three moves, ranking fourth. The fourth movement, 47B, was first used by Hu Jia in the competition. In previous competitions, the success rate of this movement was over 9%. He firmly believed that he would not make the same mistake as the Sydney Olympic Games again. Beautiful take-off, almost perfect flip, Hu Jia succeeded, and he chased the score to the second place.
The last two movements, 37C and 5253B, were successfully completed by Hu Jia. In the last jump, Hu Jia got the highest score of 1.98! Hu Jia finally won the first Olympic gold medal in his diving career! Athletes' inspirational story: American divers' inspirational story of self-improvement
In the summer of p>1967, American diver Joni? Eriksson was seriously injured in a diving accident, and he was paralyzed except for his neck.
Joni cried, and she couldn't get rid of the nightmare. Why does the springboard slide? Why did she jump just then? No matter how her relatives and friends comfort her, she always thinks that fate is really unfair to her. After leaving the hospital, she asked her family to push her to diving pool. She looked up at the high platform. Thinking that she could never stand on the white springboard again, and that the blue water waves would never splash beautiful water to hug her again, she hid her face and cried again. Since then, she has been forced to end her diving career.
she was once desperate. But now, she began to think calmly about the meaning and value of life.
She borrowed many books about how our predecessors became talents, and read them carefully one by one. Although she has sound eyes, reading is also very difficult. She can only turn over the books by holding a small bamboo piece in her mouth. Tiredness and pain often force her to stop. After a short rest, she kept reading. After a lot of reading, she finally realized that I was disabled, but many people succeeded in another way after being disabled. Some of them became writers, some created Braille, and some wrote wonderful music. Why can't I? Then, she remembered that she used to like painting in middle school, and this delicate girl became strong and confident. She picked up the brush she used in middle school, held it in her mouth and practiced drawing.
what a hard process it is. Painting with her mouth is unheard of by her family.
They dissuaded them one after another: "Johnny, don't be so stubborn, where can you draw with your mouth?" We will feed you. " However, the words of her family aroused her determination to learn painting. "How can I let my family support me all my life?" She practices harder, and is often so tired that she is dizzy. Sometimes even the wronged tears get the drawing paper wet. In order to accumulate materials, she often goes out by car and visits artists. Many years have passed, and Jonny's hard work has not been in vain. One of her landscape oil paintings was exhibited in an art exhibition and was well received by the art world.
I don't know why, but Joni wants to study literature again. Her family and friends advised her again: "Joni, your painting is already very good. What literature do you want to study? It will be even more bitter for you." She remembered that a publication had asked her for a manuscript and asked her to talk about her experience and feelings of learning painting. She made great efforts to write, but the manuscript was still not written. This matter is too big for her, and she deeply feels that her writing level is poor, and she must study step by step.
This is a road full of thorns, but she seems to see the laurel of art shining ahead, waiting for her to pick it.
Finally, after many hard years, Joni's beautiful dream finally came true. In 1976, her autobiography "Jonny" was published, which caused a sensation in the literary world. She received tens of thousands of enthusiastic letters. Two or three years later, her book "Take a Step Forward" came out again. Based on the author's personal experience, the book taught disabled people how to overcome their illness and aspire to become talents. Later, the book was adapted into a script and put on the screen. The protagonist of the film was played by herself. She became an idol of young people and an example for thousands of young people in Qian Qian to strive for self-improvement. ?
