Olympic champion-the story behind Chen Xiexia

Chen Xiexia's home is in Chen Xiexia, Daao Village, Lanhe Town, Panyu. Her father shouted excitedly, "Ximei (Chen Xiexia's nickname), come on!" Chen Xiexia was able to pull a cart of several hundred catties at the age of eight, and she had great strength. This talent made her easily selected into Panyu Amateur Sports School.

Chen Xiquan told this reporter: "If I didn't practice weightlifting, my sister would 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 told the story of Chen Xiexia's weightlifting. In the fourth grade of primary school, xia was selected by Li Bingming, an enlightenment coach, to practice weightlifting in a sports school. Chen Jia, who lived in the countryside for generations, didn't know what sport it was. Later, I saw the weightlifters with big arms and round waists. In Chen Xiquan's mind, the only daughter was graceful. He was so worried that he brought Chen Xiexia back from the sports school. Later, after the coach's explanation, he realized that xia, who practiced a small level, wouldn't have much change in body shape, so he was relieved.

In p>1999, Chen Xiexia was selected to the Bayi Team with excellent results, and has stayed in Beijing ever since. In the past nine years, she has only been home three times, and the time spent at home adds up to less than one month. The last time I met my family was two years ago. My father still clearly remembers the scene: Chen Xiexia was dressed in a light sportswear, and in the office of the village committee 5 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 had been reluctant to pick it. When "Ximei" won the women's total score of 48kg as she wished, Chen's parents excitedly picked the fruit from the tree and distributed it to all the guests at the scene for tasting.

"Chen Xiexia began to train at the age of 12 in Weilun Sports School." Zhong Chengcan is a coach of Weilun Sports School. After Chen Xiexia entered the sports school at the age of 12 and received formal training, she took her to the Bayi Team.

"The peak of female weightlifters' sports is at the age of 19-2, and Chen Xiexia has persisted to this day, bringing home the Olympic champion, which is really not easy. For more than ten years, she has been working hard, very hard and persistent. "

"I have always thought that this child is particularly hard-working 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 achievements were not outstanding. In July 22, he also thought about giving up his weightlifting career. "
