Meng Suping won the women's weightlifting final over 75kg. After the award ceremony, she returned to the stage, knelt down and kowtowed four times, and made a speech to thank the leaders. At this moment, as if history had gone backwards, we became the North Korea that was ridiculed by ourselves. However, is it true?

one After she won the gold medal, she knelt down and kowtowed. The coach called you to save me

A day ago, Meng Suping fell behind his main competitor Jin Guoxiang by 1kg in the 130 kg snatch in the final of Group A of the women's weightlifting event above 75kg in the Olympic Games. The clean and jerk is Meng Suping's strong point, but she tried two pairs of 175 kg. Jin Guoxiang lifted the same weight in the third hand and led by 1 kg. Meng Suping added the weight of the last hand to 177 kg. Gold or silver? The victory or defeat depends on it.

Jin Guoxiang won the runner up by 1kg. After the game, she was used to crying, but Meng Suping made a more amazing move

"I'm so nervous." After the game, Meng Suping, who was wearing a gold medal around his neck, said to the Chinese reporter in the mixed interview area, "I'm afraid I can't lift it." According to the prediction before the game, Meng Suping should have no rivals at this level, because the famous Russian Kashleina was suspended. Meng Suping's best performance was more than 25 kilograms ahead of Jin Guoxiang and other rivals. Once unable to lift, Meng Suping, 27, who could not afford to wait, could hardly bear it.

Meng Suping then said, "(kowtowing to those heads) I want to thank all the people who have helped me, my country, my team, my parents, Brazil, the audience, and the leaders, the party and the organization for giving me the task. Although it was very dangerous, it was still a good job." Meng Suping was so garrulous, without a word, In order to ease her still unable to calm down the tension.

The villagers of Meng Suping cheered when they lifted 177 kg

As nervous as she is, Wang Guoxin, the head coach of the weightlifting team. "This session is really too difficult," said Wang Guoxin, who has participated in the 7th Olympic Games

The pressure of Meng Suping can be seen from the competition process - the weight of the handle she usually snatches is 140 kg, and the final result this time is only 130 kg. The clean and jerk usually starts from 180 kg. This time, the handle dropped to 175 kg and failed once. It is said that Meng Su was cancelled because she didn't stand up straight in the first round of Pingju. When she returned to the backstage, she didn't know whether she stood up straight, or why she didn't stand up straight. It is a blank in her mind. In the end, Meng Suping lifted 177 kg, with a total score of 307 kg, nearly 30 kg less than that of the World Championships.

Meng Suping could not have come to Rio at first. It was the weight lifting coaching team that learned that Kashleina, the champion of 75 kg and above, was suspended due to doping problems, so they replaced Hou Zhihui of 48 kg with Meng Suping. This time, the Chinese Legion sent troops to Rio, and there was no gold medal on the first match day. At that time, some media questioned the decision of the weight lifting team. If we don't replace Hou Zhihui, we can have a more secure gold rush point. It is announced that Hou Zhihui is injured. Who knows whether it is true or false?

"If we fail," Wang Guoxin continued, "some people will even accuse us of fooling around. Why should we replace the more secure gold rush point? In short, as long as we lose, there will be no excuse. And she (Meng Suping) will certainly blame herself, and may not recover for a long time."【 detailed

two Thanks to the leadership, it is not a platitude to shoulder the team's expectations for 10 years

In fact, this is not the first time for the Chinese women's weightlifting team to change players. Women's weightlifting has become an official event since the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. In order to avoid monopoly by one country, the International Weightlifting Federation stipulates that each country can only send four players to participate in women's weightlifting. The Chinese team has the ability to win medals in almost every event. Who will be sent to the Olympics? This becomes a problem every four years. During the whole selection process, the coaching team needs to consider the physical condition of the players, competition experience, recent achievements, including the opponent's condition. But as Wang Guoxin said, "there are some things that can't be said to the public." What happened behind the replacement storm that appears in almost every Olympic Games? Nobody knows except a few people involved.

In 2012, Zhou Jun, a young player, disputed to take part in the Olympic Games. As a result, she failed to lift all three of them, creating the worst record in the women's exam

In the women's 53kg weightlifting competition of the 2012 London Olympic Games, the Chinese team sent a young player Zhou Jun, who turned in a blank paper in three attempts. It was the first time that the Chinese women's team lifted from Group B in the Olympic Games, and it was the first time that the team scored 0 points. Judging from the situation at that time, Zhou Jun was certainly not the best player at that level. In the National Championship and Olympic trials in April, Ji Jing lifted 230 kg and ranked first. She also has rich experience in international competitions, while Zhou Jun did not even participate in the trials.

Ma Wenguang, then the director of the Management Center of Lifting, Throwing and Softening Sports, said that at that time we gave the quota to Hubei (Ji Jing, the champion of the trials, was a Hubei player). Hubei Sports Bureau thought Zhou Junlian was better than Ji Jing. Both of them were Hubei athletes, so the General Administration respected the opinions of Hubei Sports Bureau. Later, it was revealed that Hubei won this quota first because Wang Mingjuan of Hunan defeated Tian Yuan of Hubei (Tian Yuan's performance was better than Wang Mingjuan's), and the weightlifting team gave Hubei a quota as compensation. The reason why Hubei Sports Bureau chose Zhou Jun to replace Ji Jing is that Zhou Jun belongs to the agreement player between Hubei and other provinces. As long as Zhou Jun wins a medal or champion, both provinces have a share.

At that Olympic Games, there were 69 kg. Xiang Yanmei, the most powerful champion, was replaced. It was not until four years later that her dream was successfully realized in Rio. In the national championship that year, her total score was 271 kg, and that of the champion of the London Olympic Games was only 261 kg. In addition, Yang Lian was the strongest player at the 48kg level in Beijing in 2008 and Athens in 2004. She kept the world record and won many world championships, but Li Zhuo, who replaced Yang Lian in 2004, failed to withstand the pressure and lost to Turkish player Taylan. In 2008, she was replaced by Chen Xiexia again. Fortunately, Chen Xiexia finally won the championship, so that the substitution event did not continue to ferment.

Meng Suping set out from Beijing to participate in the Olympic Games. Suddenly, she had to go alone

All of the above shows that women's weightlifting is a disaster area for changing players, and the results after changing players are less victories and more losses. Hou Zhihui, the replaced young general, is indeed a pity, but Meng Suping, who was replaced, also bears the huge pressure of "losing is for two people", which is rarely noticed.

Ten years ago, during the Beijing Olympic Games cycle, 17-year-old Meng Suping was recommended to the Chinese women's weightlifting team as a potential player. In the past 10 years, Meng Suping has gone from Anhui training team to Jiangsu provincial team, and then to the national team. For such a boring project as weightlifting, even the best young people can't help being lonely in the Chinese women's weightlifting dream team all the year round. Many people gave up because they were injured or could not wait, but Meng Suping has been gritting his teeth and persevering, and has survived famous generals such as Zhou Lulu and Mu Shuangshuang. The leaders of Anhui Heavy Sports Center have changed from one generation to another, never giving up Meng Suping, the golden point. From the leader to the coach, including the support team behind him, they all accompany Meng Suping.

So this time, Meng Suping really can't afford to lose. Many times, we feel that athletes are grateful to leaders for winning the championship, and thanking the country is a platitude and polite words. I'm afraid these words from Meng Suping's mouth are true and heartfelt. detailed

three Super Dan was once accused of retiring from criminal insurance. Chinese people are too afraid of losing

When Meng Suping stood on the highest podium, hung the heavy gold medal around her neck, and finally burst into a bright smile, Jin Guoxiang beside her shed tears. We don't know what will happen if Jin Guoxiang misses this gold medal and returns to North Korea. But if Meng Suping loses this gold medal, her life will be hard. After ten years of hard work, I just found the opportunity and walked on the field with trepidation. If I win, I will honor my ancestors and change my destiny. If I lose, what will happen?

The athletes in weightlifting are basically of the same type. Their family conditions are not rich, and there is no other way to get ahead. Fortunately, they still have a good body, so they embarked on the road of weightlifting. In order to change themselves and the training for family to become ahead, they did not go home for many years. Facing the cold equipment in the training ground, they practiced a movement for thousands of times, Just looking forward to the day of success. One year, several years, even more than ten years, they did not relax at all, because for them, if they did not get to the top podium, how should they go in the future?

Lin Dan watched the match on the sidelines after the match. The overbearing super Dan was once called a super egg and almost retired

Everyone wants to win on the court, but our athletes are more afraid of losing because they can't afford to lose. In 1984, the Chinese delegation went to the Olympic Games for the first time. The gold medal represents not only the champion, but also the national interests. Li Ning, who won three gold medals alone, returned home in glory. In his own words, "Returning to his hometown is almost the whole city going out, and people cheering at me everywhere." Four years later in Seoul, Li Ning went out to fight and lost miserably. Almost immediately, he became a national scum, Even the airport staff taunted him, sending him a blade to cut his pulse and a rope buckle to hang him.

This is not just something that happened in that special era. When the time came to the 21st century, Lin Dan was out of the first round of the Athens Olympic Games, and was still satirized as "Lin Yilun" and "Super Egg". None of the media and fans offered consolation to Lin Dan. He almost gave up badminton and went to college. Yes, no one says that Lin Dan is soft now, but if he hadn't survived the reprimand, then the super egg would never become super Dan.

Winning before losing sometimes doesn't work. Liu Xiang won the 110m hurdles championship at the Athens Olympic Games. He shouted out the sentence "Who says yellow people can't do it? I'll prove it to you." It became the synonym of Chinese sports. As a result, Liu Xiang retired from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games due to injury. The audience who were still cheering for him five minutes ago was silent, as if there was a cloud over the field. Next, Liu Xiang became a "Liu Runner" and "Liu Actor", and it seemed that the defeat of Cheng Wang was embedded in the DNA of Chinese people.

In this session, we finally saw signs of change. Fu Yuanhui did not win the gold medal, and still won the joy of netizens. The headline of Bolt's three consecutive titles was snatched by Qin Kai and He Zi. In addition to the gold medal, we began to pay attention to more things, and some people even began to "rehabilitate" Liu Xiang, which is certainly a good omen. However, more athletes still want to win and fear to lose, because they are not only carrying their own expectations, but also the expectations of their families and even the 1.3 billion people in this country.

Zhu Qinan celebrated that his opponent won the bronze medal. He said that he was playing under pressure at the beginning, but then he suddenly understood that it was not necessary to rely on this game to prove himself, so he played very decisively in the back and showed his own style

It's not easy to lift this weight. When we entered the Olympic Village, Liu Pengcai, director of the General Administration of Sport of the People's Republic of China, said, "Our purpose of coming to Brazil is to convey our friendship to the world. I sincerely hope that athletes from other countries can achieve good results, win gold medals and medals, and win the top eight." Now that the race is half way through, the Chinese delegation has poor performance, Gao Zhidan, the deputy director of the General Administration of Sport, stood up and said, "Competitive sports are always the first. Without the first in the field, there is no right to speak, so if you fail, you must seriously summarize and rise again."

At the end of Gao Zhidan's speech, he ended with this paragraph, "I believe that with the leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and the support and encouragement of the people of the country, including the media, the Chinese delegation will surely create a new glory, win greater honor, find the right goal in the international arena, adjust the direction, and strive for new victory!"

Sounds familiar? detailed

Recalling the days when we received the blade and the sling, Li Ning sighed that what we wanted was a champion, not sports. 32 years later, we should have known that sports is not a battle, but a competition, and winning or losing is as important as sportsmanship. No matter how the athletes perform on the court, as long as they do their best, they deserve applause and flowers.
