shenzhen twins wang liuyi and wang qianyi have become superstars because of their historic wins in synchronized swimming at the paris olympics. what unknown difficulties did they face in winning the gold medals? how do they balance competition and studies? what new dreams do they have for the future? on september 26, the sisters visited guangdong pharmaceutical university to share their sports career and growth path with young college students, attracting hundreds of people to watch and ask for photos and autographs.
"a last-ditch battle" made the paris olympics "double champion"
at the paris olympics, the twins wang liuyi and wang qianyi helped the chinese team win the first synchronized swimming gold medal in the history of the olympics, and won gold again in the duet event, becoming the "double champions" and letting the world see the beauty of china. at the beginning of the report, they recreated the opening action of the competition on the spot, winning cheers from the audience.
wang liuyi admitted that it was actually quite difficult to win the championship. first, they did not win the championship in several competitions during the preparation for the olympics, including the doha world championships. second, the competitors who had appeared before had increased the difficulty of their movements, which brought them great psychological pressure. "it felt like everyone tried their best. after discussing with the coaching staff, we decided to believe in ourselves, implement the original tactics, give it a go, and fight with our backs against the wall. the core was the completion of the movements and artistic expression. the final result was also quite surprising."
in the eyes of the sisters, being twins is a great help in both competition and training."we have a very good understanding of each other, as if we have telepathy. foreign referees often have face blindness when it comes to asian faces, but they can easily remember us when they see us. this is a kind of invisible attention."however, wang qianyi said with a smile that this also caused a problem, "once we made a mistake, no one would notice because the movements were still the same, but we would stop on our own initiative."
at the report meeting, when asked how they understood the olympic spirit, the two said:"i have been trying my best to interpret 'higher, faster, stronger and more united'. although college students are in different fields from us, they should also study hard and contribute to the country in the future."when talking about the secret to relieving stress, they revealed that it is very necessary to maintain a moderate level of tension before the game, so that they can maintain a high level of competitive state."don't stay up late. take a hot bath to relax yourself. falling asleep easily is more important than anything else."they suggest that college students should not cram at the last minute and that intensive practice about a month before the exam may be more effective.
i hope to contribute to building a strong sports nation in the future.
on social platforms, videos of wang liuyi and wang qianyi playing the piano have been widely circulated, making people admire the versatility of the olympic champions. at the lecture, a child raised his confusion: his weekends are filled with interest classes that his mother helped him to sign up for, what should he do? at this time, wang liuyi immediately "comforted" them and said that they encountered the same situation when they were young, "we also had classes everywhere on weekends, and synchronized swimming was just one of them. later it was developed, and now other interests can adjust their own training rhythm. i think,children should cultivate their own interests and hobbies as long as they are not too painful to learn. this way they can grow up to be well-rounded people with moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor development. "
currently, the two of them are studying for a doctorate degree at the education university of hong kong. people are very curious about how they balance their studies and professional sports. in response, wang liuyi said:“we are not born academic masters, but we don’t want our lives to be filled with only sports, so we must always keep learning. we also have the same original intention when studying for a doctorate.”what are your new plans after graduating from your doctorate? wang qianyi said that the preparations for the paris olympics were helped by technology.i look forward to having the opportunity to conduct relevant research in the future and contribute to china's efforts to build a sports power.
