Chen Xiexia was born in Panyu, Guangdong in January 1983. Athletes of the weightlifting team of the Eighth Integrated Team. Enlisted in July 1999.

Chen Xiexia has concentrated almost all the characteristics of a Cantonese girl, and her success today is achieved by her indomitable fighting spirit. Her experience has fulfilled a sentence: "Gold will always shine". 1999 was an important turning point in Chen Xiexia's life. At that time, he was not selected by the provincial team, and he was faced with the dilemma of backpacking home and farming. Fortunately, Chen Xiexia was chosen by the coach of Bayi Weightlifting Team. The reason why she was chosen is very simple, because she is a rural child and can bear hardships, which is very important for practicing weightlifting.

Chen Xiexia, who put on the military uniform, practiced very hard, but the key point is that she made a mistake that young people are easy to make: breaking the team rules. Now it seems that Chen Xiexia would probably be as famous as Yang Lian, who is one year older than her, and Wang Mingjuan, who is two years younger than her, if the violation of team rules did not affect the training and competition. When the team made a decision to let her take off her military uniform and go home, Chen Xiexia really began to wake up-this was not only a mistake, but also her life, which also gave her a deeper understanding and love for weightlifting.

In p>26, Chen Xiexia, who had been unknown before, ushered in the first outbreak of his weightlifting career. In the national championship in 26, Chen Xiexia, who had never won the national championship, tasted the champion once. Although many famous players did not participate at that time, this champion gave Chen Xiexia more confidence, which became another turning point in her career.

Since winning the national championship, Chen Xiexia has become out of control. In the 27 Asian Championship, Chen Xiexia won the first Asian champion in his sports career and broke the world record of clean and jerk. At the World Championships held in Chiang Mai, Thailand in the same year, she won three world championships in snatch, clean and jerk and total score, which made her a popular candidate to represent China in the Olympic Games.

In the national weightlifting championship held in April p>28, Chen Xiexia beat Yang Lian to win the championship with a total score of 213kg, which gave her a head start in the battle for going to the Olympics. She is also looking forward to helping the Chinese realize their unfulfilled dream in Athens four years ago. "When I don't practice well, I will smile and smile and everything will pass. Every day, no matter whether I practice well or not, I will smile and relax. "

This kind of peace of mind is helpful for Chen Xiexia to compete in the Olympic Games. She is a typical female figure with well-coordinated limbs, balanced strength and strong and elastic muscles. Her easy victory in the 27 World Championships will become a powerful bargaining chip for her Olympic seat.

The weightlifting competition of the p>28 Beijing Olympic Games kicked off in the gymnasium of Beihang University. In the first women's 48kg competition, China's Chen Xiexia won the first gold medal for the China delegation with her outstanding performances in snatch 95kg, clean and jerk 117kg and total score of 212kg, and also broke two Olympic records of clean and jerk and total score. (The total score of the Olympic Games record was originally 21kg)

Post-game feelings

[ Edit this paragraph]

212kg! Chen Xiexia, 25, steadily lifted the barbell six times, and also steadily "lifted" the first gold medal of the Beijing Olympic Games for the China delegation. This achievement also rewrote the Olympic women's weightlifting record of 48kg.

strength is everything! No matter it's the old and new "dark horse" in Turkey or the old rival in Thailand, no one can stop Chen Xiexia from lifting the weight beyond others' reach again and again! When Du Li and Zhao Yinghui's "double insurance" at the shooting range failed, Chen Xiexia took on the important task of winning the first gold medal for China Legion. Although it was the first time to participate in the Olympic Games, she didn't let everyone down.

Turkish star Ozkan won the runner-up with a total score of 199 kg, while Chen Weiling of Chinese Taipei and Lin Qionghua of South Korea both scored 196 kg. Chen Weiling was lucky to win the bronze medal by virtue of her lighter weight.

Event

[ snatch ]

One-man campaign

In this campaign, Chen Xiexia mainly meets the challenge of defending champion-Turkey's famous taylan, and Thailand's "two girls" Lao Si Li Gong, Wen Pi Ta and Turkey's Erzikan also have certain competitiveness.

taylan was in a bad state in recent years. After three consecutive attempts failed, the veteran kissed the weightlifting platform deeply and waved to the audience, ending the journey of the Beijing Olympic Games. Thailand's famous Pipita also failed to hit 84 kilograms three times and was eliminated.

another Thai strongman, Lao Sigong, succeeded in lifting the 85kg barbell with the third last stand after losing the previous two attempts to lift 85kg. Ozkan withstood great pressure when teammate taylan was out early, and the third attempt hit 88kg successfully.

Seeing that all the main opponents in front were not performing well, Chen Xiexia adjusted the weight from 92kg to 9kg, striving for stability first and then getting a result. When she came out, she was left alone on the field. There was a cry in the stands, and Chen Xiexia took a deep breath first. For her, this weight is just the warm-up weight of usual training. Grab the bar and lift the bell in one go. After this success, she is already two kilograms ahead of the second place.

After that, the snatch competition was performed by Chen Xiexia alone, with a weight of 93kg, which was still held firmly above his head.

In the third 95kg, Chen Xiexia's performance was still relaxed and confident.

[ Clean and jerk ]

Lock the champion in the first snatch

After the snatch competition, Chen Xiexia's opponents are only Thailand's Lao Sigong, Turkey's Ozkan, Chinese Taipei's Chen Weiling and South Korea's Lin Qionghua.

Chen Xiexia successfully lifted 113kg after his appearance, so that Chen Xiexia had locked the gold medal in advance after the first clean and jerk. With such a relaxed mind, she asked for 115kg in the second clean and jerk, and the audience cheered for a long time. She went into battle lightly, and after lifting 115kg easily, Chen Xiexia tied the total Olympic record!

for the third time, Chen Xiexia asked for 117kg, and the China woman Hercules successfully lifted it! In the end, Chen Xiexia won the women's weightlifting 48kg gold medal with a total score of 212kg, and broke the Olympic record.

After winning the gold medal, Chen Xiexia jumped on Ma Wenhui, the head coach of the women's team, and China Legion successfully won the first gold medal in the Beijing Olympic Games.

I don't know if it's the first gold after winning the gold medal.

After winning the gold medal, Chen Xiexia is as happy as a child. "I like to laugh, and I can't stop laughing when I talk."

The reporter asked her how she felt after winning the gold medal. Chen Xiexia said that she was also very surprised: "It was just after I finished the competition that someone told me that it was the first gold medal." Before the Olympic Games, Chen Xiexia almost lost the chance to participate in the Olympic Games because he was injured in training. Referring to this past, Chen Xiexia said: "It is precisely because of this background that I must win this gold medal. I really fought today."

Standing on the high podium, Chen Xiexia showed a sweet smile, bit the gold medal in her mouth, took photos in front of reporters, and playfully stuck out her tongue ... After Chen Xiaomin, she was the second Olympic champion from Guangdong, and she was also a strong woman who came out of the farm.

The five elements lack fire name plus "wow"

Chen Xiexia's home is located in Daao Village, Lanhe Town, Panyu, Guangzhou, which is famous for producing rice, sugarcane and bananas. Chen Xiexia's parents grow sugar cane and rice for a living. Chen Xiexia has parents, eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law. She is the youngest in the family and is called "Little Sister".

Before yesterday, maybe many people didn't know the word "Xie". But since yesterday, this word no longer seems so strange. The reporter learned that after Chen Xiexia was born, Mr. Feng Shui said that her five elements lacked fire, and her father, who graduated from high school, added the word "wow" to her daughter's name.

Chen Xiexia is a happy family. In the eyes of her family, this "little sister" is lively, cheerful, a bit like a boy, and she is also very sensible. According to Chen Xiaomin, a senior sister in Chen Xiexia, due to financial difficulties at home, Xiao Xiexia helped adults at an early age. After going to the sports school for training, my father started riding a bicycle to pick me up. After four or five times, Chen Xiexia, who was sensible, took a bus and then took a motorcycle to train himself.

Her father borrowed money for her training.

Chen Xiexia began to work in the fields at the age of seven, and she showed far more strength than her peers.

At that time, Chen Xiexia's family grew 2 mu of rice and sugarcane, and was busy with farming. From the age of 7, Xiamei often helped her parents to carry water and water, and used a scooter to pull the crops harvested by her parents home. Chen Xiexia's father told reporters that when she was 8 years old, she was able to pull more than 3 kilograms of sugarcane home with a scooter at one time!

Chen Xiexia, who was only 9 years old, was selected by Panyu Amateur Sports School in 1992 when he was in the third grade of primary school. However, training in a sports school requires money. The annual tuition fee is 23 yuan, the board fee is 1 yuan, and pocket money is also given. Chen's father has a heavy burden. However, Chen's father insisted that since his daughter was selected by the coach, she should keep practicing. In order to provide her with training, Chen's father borrowed ten thousand yuan before and after.

She has only one opponent: Yang Lian

Chen Xiexia has only participated in the World Championships once before. In order to squeeze into the Olympic team, her competition with world champion Yang Lian is fierce.

Before p>27, Yang Lian from Hunan Province was the absolute overlord of the women's 48kg class, and both the World Championships and the National Championships were Yang Lian's solo performances. But in 27, the balance of victory began to tilt towards Chen Xiexia. Chen Xiexia, who participated in the World Championships for the first time, won the snatch, clean and jerk and the total score in one fell swoop in the absence of Yang Lian. At this time, Yang Lian began to feel pressure. Subsequently, Yang Lian's knee injury was aggravated by years of intensive training.

In April this year, Yang Lian, who had not fully recovered, rushed into battle and lost to Chen Xiexia. The reason why she took the risk to come back to the competition was to get on the Olympic list.

In the following days, Chen Xiexia became a key player in the team, and the leaders basically recognized Chen Xiexia's Olympic qualification. However, just a few days before the Olympic list was submitted, an accident happened, and Chen Xiexia accidentally pulled his thigh during the team test.

On July 22nd, Yang Lian replaced Chen Xiexia in the final list, which is only three days before the final registration deadline on July 25th. On July 24th, it was a day that changed history. On that day, Chen Xiexia had a final physical examination, which proved that her injury had healed, and Chen Xiexia replaced Yang Lian at the last minute.

Pre-competition nutritious meal: instant noodles

According to regulations, weightlifters must weigh themselves before the competition. Generally speaking, in order to lose weight as much as possible, players don't eat until they are weighed. After weighing, the coach will prepare some food for the athletes to satisfy their hunger. Before the competition started yesterday morning, Chen Xiexia's coach prepared a bowl of hot instant noodles for her. Although it is instant noodles, it is absolutely delicious with chicken soup, shrimp and sea cucumber.

I can't understand the slogan of refueling

In the game, Chen Xiexia always drinks loudly before he goes on stage. However, many people can't understand what she is shouting. After the game, she said: "This is cheering for yourself in your own way."

Chen Xiexia told reporters: "Actually, I shouted, Hey, come on!"

Chen Xiexia smiled shyly. "It's not from my hometown. Maybe we shouted and others didn't understand."

Best Birthday Gift

Yesterday was the 52nd birthday of Ma Wenguang, director of the Weightlifting, Wrestling and Judo Sports Management Center.
