Why did Guoyu World Champion retire at the age of 28?

Every athlete has a championship dream in his heart, but just as he won a seat for the Tokyo Olympic Games, the 28-year-old national badminton world champion Li officially announced his retirement on June 5438+1October 65438+July, which means that Li will not appear in the Tokyo Olympic Games, ending his nine-year badminton career. But why did Guoyu World Champion announce his retirement while playing? On this issue, Li said: The competition is too fierce to persist.

Li was born in Dadukou City, Chongqing, after 9 1. Li/Kloc-was selected for the national team at the age of 0/9, and won the women's singles table tennis championship in London Olympic Games in 20 12, and won the first Olympic gold medal in his life. She was only 2 1 year old at that time. At the subsequent National Games, Li won the women's singles championship. But Li, who was in his heyday, was hit hard. 20 16 badminton in Rio Olympic Games, with a serious ligament strain, finally stopped the women's singles semi-final. Li came back after a year's rest. After paying the fee, Li won the women's singles champion of the 20 18 International Badminton Masters and the women's singles champion of the US Badminton Open. But at this time, Li's body has reached the position of a spent force, and her physical reaction and speed are very different from before, which is one of the reasons why Li chose to retire in the year of playing.

The second reason, as Li said, is that the competition of badminton is too fierce. China is a powerful sports country, with abundant talents in various sports fields. During Li's rehabilitation, the new forces of badminton in China rose rapidly, such as Chen, He Bingjiao, Zhang Yiman and others, which are beyond Li's reach now. Now Li's badminton level ranks 20th in the world. In the final of New Zealand, the former Olympic women's singles champion lost to 17-year-old South Korean teenager An Xiying, and missed the New Zealand championship. Li, who tasted failure many times, couldn't hold on any longer, so after careful consideration, she finally chose to retire.

It will be Li Yisheng's regret to choose to retire at the age of 28, but there is nothing she can do. If it weren't for a serious ligament strain, I believe that with Li's strength, she will definitely defend her title and win another Olympic gold medal for China. But now everything has become the past. If you dwell on the past, the road ahead will be silent in regret forever. Let's bless Li together and hope that she can get out of the past as soon as possible, let go of the past and welcome her new life.
