During the Paris Olympics, the People's Daily launched a column called "Olympics and Me", in which many athletes and coaches published signed articles.
The latest issue of People's Daily shows that Zheng Qinwen, who recently made history and won the gold medal in the women's singles tennis event at this Olympic Games, published a signed article.
Zheng Qinwen wrote that the first time he stepped into the Olympic arena, he secretly made up his mind to fight for a medal for the Chinese sports delegation. No matter what sport you choose, you must learn to love and enjoy it, and move forward bravely and firmly towards your goal. Only persistence can achieve a big dream.
The article mentioned:
I have been competing for 5 consecutive days and two consecutive rounds lasting more than 3 hours. I have been pushing my limits. But I know that no matter what my physical condition is, I will fight to the end, and no matter what the score is, I will not give up.Along the way, even in the most difficult times, I never backed down. I want to thank the Chinese audience at the scene. Their cheers and the five-star red flags they waved inspired me.I have always envied those who can make history, and now I have become one of them. When the gold medal was hung around my neck, I realized how heavy it was, which made me feel a heavy responsibility. Only persistence can achieve a big dream.This was Zheng Qinwen's first time participating in the Olympics. During the competition, she defeated the former world number one and the current world number one successively, and finally won the women's singles championship, creating history for my country in this event.
In addition to Zheng Qinwen, many athletes and coaches have recently written articles in the People's Daily to tell their stories off the court.
Chinese gymnasts and current Olympic team membersXiao RuotengThe author said that the Chinese gymnastics team is a collective, and no matter what the result is, we must unite as one. "In the individual all-around competition, I won a bronze medal. Although the result is lower than the silver medal in the Tokyo Olympics, I have tried my best and am very satisfied with my performance."
Chinese table tennis team players, this year's Olympic participantsMaloneThe author said, "This is my fourth Olympic journey. I am very excited to participate in the Olympic Games again. I feel very proud to attend the opening ceremony as one of the flag bearers of the Chinese sports delegation. My love for table tennis has always inspired me to work hard. I like to play, study and train. I have not put down my racket and have not missed any closed training sessions within the team. In order to maintain a high competitive level, high-intensity training must be guaranteed. At the Paris Olympics, my teammates and I will participate in the men's table tennis team competition, and I will go all out."
Coach of the Chinese shooting team at the Paris OlympicsYao YeThe article said, "Sheng Lihao won two gold medals in the Paris Olympics. When he won the gold medal, my eyes were filled with tears. This is Sheng Lihao's second time to participate in the Olympics. His level is improving, his ability is growing, but his mentality will also fluctuate. As a coach, I have to help him in time and encourage him to overcome difficulties. It has always been my dream to win a gold medal in the Olympics. I started practicing shooting at the age of 14 and participated in the 2004 Athens Olympics as an athlete, but I didn't stand on the Olympic podium at that time. In Paris, Sheng Lihao won the gold medal, and I also realized my Olympic dream in another capacity."
Chinese track and field athlete, holder of the Asian record for men's 100mSu BingtianThe author said, "This is the first time in the past four Olympic Games that I have not come to the Olympic Games venue as a participating athlete. It is unlikely that I will participate in the Olympic Games again, but I still have my own goals - next year, the next National Games will be held in my hometown, and I especially hope to end my sports career with a wonderful event. I have no competition mission in this Olympic Games. Next, I will go to the stadium to cheer for the athletes of the Chinese sports delegation."
