Olympic champion-the story behind Chen Xiexia
Chen Xiquan told this reporter: "If I don't practice weightlifting, my sister will never leave this village. She hasn't been home for three years, and now her mother is looking forward to her coming home early. "
In May this year, Chen Xiquan once told the story of Chen Xiexia lifting weights. In the fourth grade of primary school, Xia was selected by Li Bingming, the enlightenment coach, to practice weightlifting in the sports school. Chen Jia has lived in the countryside for generations, and I don't know what this sport is. Later, I saw those weightlifters with big arms and round waist. In Chen Xiquan's mind, the only daughter is graceful. He was anxious to take Chen Xiexia back from the sports school. Later, after the coach's explanation, I realized that after practicing a small level of summer, my body shape would not change much, so I was relieved.
1999, Chen Xiexia was selected to the Bayi team with excellent results, and then he stayed in Beijing. In the past nine years, she has only been home three times, and the total time at home is less than 1 month. The last time I saw my family was two years ago. My father still clearly remembers the scene: Chen Xiexia was wearing a light sportswear in the office of the village Committee 500 meters away. Because she had been away from home for many years, not many people in the village recognized her at that time.
The longan tree planted in front of Chen's house for many years has been fruitful, and Chen Xiexia's parents have been reluctant to pick it. When she got the women's total score of 48kg, Chen's parents excitedly picked the fruit from the tree and distributed it to all the guests.
"Chen Xiexia 12 years old began to train in Weilun Sports School." Zhong is a coach of Weilun Sports School. Chen Xiexia 12 entered the sports school for formal training and took her to Bayi Team.
"The peak period of female weightlifters is 19-20 years old. It is not easy for Chen Xiexia to persist today and bring home the Olympic champion. For more than ten years, she has been working hard, very hard and very persistent. "
"I have always felt that this child has worked very hard and has a strong understanding. Physical fitness, speed of action, skills are good, and psychological will is very stable. However, in the previous provincial competitions, Chen Xiexia's performance was not outstanding. In July 2002, he also thought about giving up his weightlifting career. "
