Because Cheng Ligao studied martial arts for seven years when he was young, he intended to enlighten his daughter when she was very young. When Cheng Fei learns to walk, Cheng Ligao often takes his daughter up and down the stairs. When she danced well, she found a round sign and simulated the TV camera to give her an award. Cheng Ligao recalled that her daughter was particularly keen on winning the prize when she was a child.
When Cheng Fei finally reached the age of 2, he was still sallow and emaciated, and his figure was much shorter than his peers. Cheng Ligao has to worry about her daughter's health. When Cheng Fei was over 3 years old, Cheng Ligao decided to send her to learn a sport. Neither Cheng Ligao nor his wife is tall. At that time, I saw Deng Yaping, a "little man", dominating the table tennis world and decided to send her daughter to learn table tennis. At Huangshi Amateur Sports School, Coach Jinke recommended Xiao Feifei to guide Yao Juying to learn gymnastics. In this way, Cheng flew away to the road of gymnastics.
Hearing that her daughter has a talent for gymnastics, Cheng Ligao was overjoyed. Hearing this, Cheng Ligao's understanding of gymnastics knowledge gradually increased, and he was able to give directions to Cheng Fei's movements. He couldn't afford gymnastics equipment, so he hung a barbell on the roof beam at home, and a barbell represented the horizontal bar. The two thick bars are parallel bars; Draw two lines on the ground with chalk, and it becomes Cheng Fei's balance beam. Even the lid of the pot at home has become a musical instrument for Lei Jiacheng to practice balance. To practice gymnastics well, we must first overcome some physical deficiencies. Cheng Fei's walking has a hereditary "external character". On the first day of entering the gym, the coach said, "When entering the gym, you should tiptoe, so you won't take eight steps." Leijiacha etc after listening to, stood on tiptoe.
But "splayed feet" cannot be corrected at once. One night, Cheng Ligao brought a few feet of white cloth and said that the child's legs should be tied up from below the knee for several months, so as to correct the eight-character step. My wife is worried about this. But Cheng Ligao said that even if you don't practice gymnastics, you should correct it for your daughter's good figure in the future.
The next day, 4-year-old Cheng Fei cried and refused to tie it again. In order to make the child persist, the couple accompanied their daughter and tied her legs with white cloth. Cheng Fei's "external character" was finally corrected after several months of persistence.
After practicing for a year, Cheng Fei suddenly said to his mother xu chunxiang, "Mom, as long as you don't let me practice gymnastics, I will study hard." Although I was distressed, my father determined this path for my daughter and the training persisted.
Cheng Ligao is famous for being strict with his daughter in Huangshi Sports School. Sometimes when Xiao Chengfei doesn't want to practice, Cheng Ligao will reprimand loudly and even beat his daughter mercilessly.
Sometimes Xiao Chengfei gets angry with his father and refuses to practice any more. At this time, my father "knocked" harder. Seeing that he couldn't beat his father, Xiao Chengfei's stubbornness came up and he continued to work with tears. But after a day's exercise, she seems to be well again.
Cheng Fei now calls back and often says to his mother, "Fortunately, my father was in strict control at that time, otherwise there would be no today." Cheng Fei entered Wuhan Institute of Physical Education at the age of 7. At first, she paid for it at her own expense. The monthly tuition and living expenses add up to 1 1,000 yuan. But at that time, the wages of Cheng Ligao and his wife added up to only 1000 yuan. In order to earn some living expenses, the couple bought a knitting machine and sold gloves after work every day. A pair of gloves earned 20 cents.
One day, coach Zhao Hanhua found Cheng Fei unhappy during training. I didn't know that her family had not paid the living expenses until I asked. Zhao is very sad: "such a good young girl, and so diligent, can't let her be affected by these things." He discussed with another male coach, and each of them took out one-third of his salary to help Cheng Fei.
Seeing that everyone cares about himself, Xiao Chengfei practiced harder. A year later, Cheng Fei won many awards on behalf of the Institute of Physical Education. She is the youngest in each competition, but she has the most beautiful movements and the highest specifications.
Cheng Fei's achievements are obvious to all. Coach Zhao Hanhua reported to the Institute of Physical Education that Cheng Fei was "the most rare good prospect in the Institute of Physical Education for many years, and asked for formal treatment for her students". The Institute of Physical Education approved this report, so Cheng Fei, who was only 8 years old, became the youngest "secondary school student" in Wuhan Institute of Physical Education, not only without paying tuition fees, but also with living expenses. Zhao told reporters: "For many years, this kind of special treatment was only a case of Cheng Fei of Wuhan Institute of Physical Education in the first two years of the national team. Cheng Fei was young and his skills were relatively weak, which made him less noticeable. In 2004, another athlete was unable to participate in the Olympic Games due to injury, and Cheng Fei got a valuable opportunity to represent China in the Athens Olympic Games. Before that, she didn't have any world competition experience. China suffered from Waterloo, and Cheng Fei won the fourth place in floor exercise.
After the Athens Olympic Games, Cheng Fei's coach decided to let her concentrate on training vault. At first, Cheng Fei was a little worried. He once said to his father, "My strong point is floor exercise, but now the coach makes me vault." Vaulting was China's traditional weakness at that time. Before that, there was no world champion of women's vault in China. Cheng Ligao told her daughter: "There is nothing wrong with you listening to the coach. There are many women's floor exercises, and the competition is naturally fierce. There are fewer women who can vault, and your legs are strong, so it is easier to succeed in practicing vault. "
At the 38th World Gymnastics Championships in Melbourne in 2005, Cheng Fei made a blockbuster. She not only won the first world champion of women's vault in China, but also refreshed the history of women's vault in China. Her new move has also been named "Cheng Fei Jump" by the international sports community. Once she decided to practice gymnastics, Cheng Fei chose a life that only allowed success but not failure, because she knew that getting ahead in gymnastics was the only way out for this poor family. Although the conditions are not rich, Dad Cheng provided the best conditions for Cheng Fei as much as possible. He practices martial arts, and with his little foundation, he gives Cheng Fei more practice at home. Unable to afford gymnastics equipment, Cheng's father used local materials and hung barbells on his own roof beams, one horizontal bar and two parallel bars. As soon as they were hung, they became uneven bars. The big iron pot at home was turned upside down, and Cheng Fei stood on it. He kept turning the iron pot to train his daughter's rotation. The runway from sports school to home has become a balance beam that must be practiced every day.
Cheng Fei, with this firm belief since he was a child, transferred from Huangshi Sports School to Hubei Provincial Team and then to the national team. Now he stands on the highest podium in the World Championships and the Olympic Games. In the eyes of many coaches, Cheng Fei has no outstanding physical advantages, but has more perseverance and efforts than others. Eight years ago, Cheng Fei was a rookie at the Athens Olympic Games. Although he missed the medal in the floor exercise because of mistakes, he has shown great strength.
Later, Cheng Fei, who had excellent leg strength, focused his training on jumping horse.
Vaulting is the weakness of China women's team. Many players don't want to practice, but Cheng Fei practiced very hard and increased the amount of training. All the other players have left. In the empty training ground, Cheng Fei is the only one who repeats the run-up, take-off, somersault, landing and other actions countless times. Trained the "Cheng Feitiao" who won the World Championships and the World Cup in the future.
A year later, Cheng Fei became famous at the Melbourne World Championships with her "Cheng Fei Jump" and won the first gold medal of women's vault in the history of gymnastics in China, and she herself successfully became the world champion. In the 2006 World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark, Cheng Fei won three more gold medals and began to grow into the "first sister" of the national team. Cheng Fei understands that the world champion is never as good as the Olympic champion, and the only way to prove himself is to win the Beijing Olympic Games.
And if you want to win the championship, you have to train harder. In the training hall of the General Administration of Sports, Cheng Fei is always the last person to leave every day.
Due to physical development and other reasons, Cheng Fei has to struggle with increasing body size and weight. In order to control his weight, Cheng Fei had to go on a diet like a weightlifter after a hard day's training.
Cheng Fei's family moved to a new house with the concern of all walks of life, but Cheng Fei, who has been eager to have his own room, didn't have time to return to his new home. It was not until the Olympic flame was passed in Wuhan at the end of May last year that Cheng Fei took time to go home for one night, and she appeared on the training ground of the State Sports General Administration the next morning.
On the eve of the Olympic Games, Cheng Fei's parents had planned to come to Beijing to watch her daughter's game, but considering the pressure that might be brought to Cheng Fei, they finally decided to stay at home and watch live TV. "Cheng Fei finally won the Olympic champion, and we are as happy as her. When the single incident behind her is over, we will definitely come to pick her up! " Cheng Fei's mother said excitedly. 20 12 On April 8th, Cheng Fei won the women's vault with 14.55438+02 points when she made her first comeback after the Beijing Olympic Games.
After the Beijing Olympic Games, Cheng Fei has been plagued by injuries, and the injuries to her knees and ankles once made her training very difficult. This competition is the first time that 24-year-old Cheng Fei has participated in an international competition since his comeback. On the first day of qualifying, Cheng Fei ranked second.
In the final, Cheng Fei used two moves with a D of 5.8 and 5.6 respectively, and finally she won the gold medal with an average score of 14.5438+02. Although Cheng Fei did not show the "Cheng Fei Jump" named after himself in the final, it was not easy for Cheng Fei, who is still recovering.
After the game, Cheng Fei said: "I have been very nervous before the game, and I feel particularly tired psychologically and physically. I am already very happy than this. " For this championship, Cheng Fei said: "This is a considerable affirmation, and the biggest gain is a psychological breakthrough. I still have a lot to do to reach the Olympic level. "
Although this gold medal can't help Cheng Fei to lock the tickets for the London Olympic Games, it has at least strengthened her confidence in the London Olympic Games. Faced with the challenges of age and injury after his comeback, Cheng Fei felt that he was "very happy to be like this. This gold medal is a great affirmation, especially when the difficulty is not as good as others".
In China women's gymnastics team with extremely fast metabolism, Cheng Fei is definitely an exception. At the Beijing Olympic Games, Cheng Fei, already a veteran of the team, was troubled by injuries and weight after the Olympic Games. Returning seems to be an impossible task. But Cheng Fei not only won back in the game, but also won a World Cup gold medal: "The charm of the Olympic Games has kept me going until now, and challenging myself is also my motivation."
Head coach Shanzhen Lu said: "Cheng Fei's comeback to win the championship is very helpful to improve her self-confidence. Technology is not a problem for her, because she has good technology. Her problem now is lack of self-confidence and lack of exercise in the competition. This competition also achieved the purpose of exercise. "
Chao Luo Yi, director of the Gymnastics Center, said that Cheng Fei can make up for the "short board" of the women's vault of China Gymnastics Team, and she can be one of the candidates for the women's Olympic team. Champion of vault in Japanese junior gymnastics competition in 2003
