During the competition, when the last note of the accompaniment Meditation was played, Zhao Hongbo got down on one knee, kissed Shen Xue on the cheek affectionately, and proposed to her, which won warm applause from the audience for a long time.
The coach is a promiscuous mandarin duck, and the best partner is born.
Unlike many people's imagination of love at first sight, the first meeting between Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo was very special.
1992, Zhao Hongbo 19 years old. His former partner Xie retired, and coach Yao Bin had to find another partner for him.
Yao Bin stayed in the team for a long time and never found a suitable one.
At this moment, Shen Xue, who is 14 years old, stopped practicing single skating, prepared to specialize in double skating and needed to find a partner.
Yao Bin saw it and said to Zhao Hongbo, "Let Shen Xue pair up with you and practice together."
/kloc-Zhao Hongbo, 0/0 years old, once won the national short track speed skating 500m champion as an amateur team.
Several years' campaign has made him famous, and naturally he has higher requirements for his partner.
When the coach pulled Shen Xue to his side, Zhao Hongbo felt that the little girl in front of him was unremarkable, thin, with yellow and black skin and explosive hairstyle.
He said to the coach with some dissatisfaction, "Let her pair with me?" The coach said, "Let her match you for a while, and then change when you meet a better one."
Zhao Hongbo looked at Shen Xue with disdain in his eyes: "Then give her a month's time. If not, I demand immediate replacement. "
Shen Xue listened to all the conversations between Zhao Hongbo and the coach. She didn't say anything, but she was thinking: I must work hard and get good grades to see who dares to look down on me!
From that day on, every training, Shen Xue intends to increase the amount of training. When someone else skates once, she asks for two laps. Everyone else is resting, and she is still training alone.
Seeing her face flushed and panting, Zhao Hongbo felt a little guilty and asked her to have a rest, but Shen Xue kept saying, "I can hold on.
"Shen Xue's stubborn efforts soon changed Zhao Hongbo's impression of her.
A month later, Zhao Hongbo not only didn't ask for a replacement, but also believed that Shen Xue would be his good partner.
On one occasion, when they were training on the field, Zhao Hongbo threw Shen Xue back and threw it for two weeks. Because of his unstable center of gravity, he leaned back, so Shen Xue didn't stand firm when he fell, and Shen Xue fell heavily to the ground.
Zhao Hongbo quickly picked her up and asked her if she was hurt.
Shen Xue's tears swirled in her eyes with pain, but she just couldn't let them flow out and said, "It doesn't matter, it just landed, and it didn't hurt at all."
You just lost your center of gravity. Did you flinch? "Seeing Shen Xue care about him regardless of the pain, Zhao Hongbo felt very warm and held Shen Xue's hand and said," Xiaoxue, I will be careful in my future training, and I won't let you get hurt again.
I will take care of you like a sister. "
Hearing this, Shen Xue said happily, "That's the best. I have no brothers. You will be my brother in the future. "
When Shen Xuegang began to pair up with Zhao Hongbo, his parents were particularly uneasy. They are worried that Zhao Hongbo will "bully" Shen Xue when he becomes famous, so they decide to go to "detective" once to see what kind of person Zhao Hongbo is.
That day, they came to the training ground. Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo just finished practicing and sat on the sidelines to have a rest. Zhao Hongbo is fanning Shen Xue with clothes.
Shen Xue's parents were very moved when they met. They came to them and said happily to Zhao Hongbo, "Now we are relieved. I didn't expect you to be a real and considerate young man.
We can rest assured that Shen Xue will be given to you. "
Because Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo trained hard and cooperated tacitly, they won the double skating championship in the national championship in the first year.
1996, at the Asian Winter Games held in Harbin, they beat a pair of teams from Kazakhstan and their teammates Sun Bao and Liu to win the championship.
On the way home, Zhao Hongbo excitedly said to Shen Xue, "This is the first international champion we have won. I am very happy today and bought you a small gift.
"And he took out a delicate leather bag from the bosom and handed it to Shen Xue.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xue made a naughty face and said, "I also have a gift for you."
"Then I took out a new suit from the plastic bag I carried with me and put it on Zhao Hongbo." Brother Hongbo, I want to thank you for not kicking me out in those years, which made me who I am today. "
Zhao Hongbo looked at his straight suit. Needless to say, it fits perfectly. He grinned and said happily, "I didn't expect the coach's random arrangement to give me such a good partner."
I want you to be my forever' companion', Xiaoxue, will you? "
Shen Xue blushed and bowed his head happily. ...
Love is more and more beautiful in the torture of injury.
After the Asian Winter Games, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo went to Changbai Mountain for training to prepare for the World Championships held in Edmonton in early 1997.
They should go to the international stage, strive to achieve better results and win glory for themselves and their motherland.
However, on New Year's Eve, they returned to Harbin, only to learn that their names were not on the entry list of the World Championships.
Shen Xue said sadly: "After training for so long, the result is useless.
"Zhao Hongbo comforted her:" Don't worry, I'll think of something.
"He found the coach, said the idea of going to the game, and finally the coach took the two of them to the State Sports General Administration.
The leaders of the General Administration were moved by their sincerity and finally decided to arrange them to participate in the competition.
But in that World Championships, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo only ranked 1 1.
When she returned to her residence, Shen Xue shed tears sadly: "With such poor grades, others will definitely laugh at us if we go back.
It's all my fault. If I hadn't clamored to come to the competition, I wouldn't have embarrassed you so much. "
Zhao Hongbo patted Shen Xue on the shoulder and smiled and comforted her: "The gap between us and those masters is already very small. As long as we go back and train well, we will stand on the highest podium one day.
Xiaoxue, we have to believe in ourselves! "Zhao Hongbo's words made Shen Xue nod:" Yes, as long as we work hard, we will surpass them! "
After returning home, they trained harder and their movements became more and more difficult.
Every time he throws a jumper, Zhao Hongbo is particularly distressed by Shen Xue. He was afraid that he couldn't catch Shen Xue if he threw it too high, so he would be injured if he fell to the ground, so he deliberately threw Shen Xue lower.
After Shen Xue found out, he said unhappily, "How can such training improve your grades? Throw it away. I'm fine.
"Although Shen Xue says so, Zhao Hongbo still can't do my best.
One day, Zhao Hongbo found that Shen Xue, who usually ate a lot, ate very little, and asked her with concern if she was uncomfortable.
Shen Xue said: "I'm not sick, I'm losing weight."
Every time I throw and jump in training, because I'm heavy, you can't master the sense of proportion, so I'm afraid you won't catch me.
Now I'm losing weight. I've lost 10 kg and 20 kg. If you throw it again, I won't have scruples. "
Hearing Shen Xue's words, Zhao Hongbo put his arm around her and sobbed, "Xiaoxue, you are so stupid.
You are thin, and now you lose weight for me. How can you stand it? Listen to you in the future, and the training must follow the standard.
""that's like a man! " Shen Xue smiled and said, "As long as we can get good grades, I'm not afraid of being hurt! "
From then on, Zhao Hongbo did not dare to "cut corners" in training. Every time she throws and jumps, she is very careful, but even so, accidents keep happening. Shen Xue is hurt all over, but she keeps training without saying a word.
1999 10 They practiced throwing and jumping as usual. As a result, Zhao Hongbo didn't catch Shen Xue. Shen Xue fell to the ground face down and suddenly fainted.
He was rushed to the hospital. After examination, Shen Xue had a broken nose.
When she woke up and Zhao Hongbo told her the news, Shen Xue was shocked and asked Zhao Hongbo, "Will there be ugly scars on my face in the future? Will I become a flat nose? Who wants to see me in the future? " With that, she began to cry sadly.
Zhao Hongbo squatted down, gently caressed Shen Xue's face, and said affectionately, "Xiaoxue, you don't have to be afraid when I'm here.
No matter what you will become, you will always be the most beautiful in my heart. "
Shen Xue wiped her tears, looked at Zhao Hongbo and said, "Brother Hongbo, remember what you said to me.
We pull the hook.
"Said stretch out your hand.
Zhao Hongbo held Shen Xue's little hand tightly with his warm big hand: "Don't worry, I will see you every day and stay with you forever ..."
Two months later, Shen Xue was discharged from the hospital.
After careful treatment, Shen Xue left no scars on her face.
They plunged into intense training again.
And the feelings between the two people have deepened a lot through this "fall".
Because of hard training, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo have made breakthroughs every time: they won the runner-up in pairs skating at the 1999 World Championships; Won the runner-up in double skating at the 2000 World Championships; 200 1 world championships, third place in pairs skating and third place in figure skating grand prix. In the 2002 World Championships, accompanied by the magnificent Turandot, they won the world champion of double skating for China for the first time; At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, they won another bronze medal in the Olympic Games, which also created the history of the first use of throwing and jumping in the world. In 2003, they won the double skating championship in the World Championships. In 2004, they successfully defended their title at the International Gymnastics Federation Grand Prix, and set a new record with a high score of 206.54.
In August 2005, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo came to Yunnan to train for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.
In the first two days after arriving at the base, Shen Xue began to have a low fever because of altitude sickness and could not train.
That day, Zhao Hongbo did some basic movements in the training ground alone. When he finished a turn and jump, he accidentally sprained his left foot, causing the achilles tendon to break.
He gritted his teeth and walked to the sidelines. He dialed Shen Xue's phone with his mobile phone and said guiltily, "Xiaoxue, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to Turin ..."
At the other end of the phone, Shen Xue's heart suddenly mentioned his throat: "Brother Hongbo, what's the matter?"
"Just doing action, my left achilles tendon is broken ..."
Shen Xue put the phone down and immediately ran to the training ground. Seeing that Zhao Hongbo's left foot was swollen, he cried distressfully, "Brother Hongbo, is your foot very painful?" Said the picked up Zhao Hongbo injured foot, gently knead.
At this time, the coach and teammates also rushed over. After discussion, they immediately decided to send Zhao Hongbo back to Beijing for treatment.
Shen Xue followed him back to Beijing.
During that time, Shen Xue stayed with Zhao Hongbo every day and brought him delicious food when he came to visit the sick every day.
Zhao Hongbo asked incredulously, "You can't cook. Where did these come from? "
Shen Xue said, "Every time I get hurt, you take care of me.
Now it's my turn to take care of you.
These dishes, I learned to cook like cooking.
In order to make you eat delicious, you can recover quickly from the injury.
"When I heard that, a warm current moved me in Zhao Hongbo's heart:" Xiaoxue, being with you is my greatest happiness! "
Zhao Hongbo was badly hurt this time. Many medical experts say that if his leg can keep limping, it will be the most ideal effect. It is impossible to participate in the Olympic Games in a few months.
For athletes, this is undoubtedly equivalent to announcing the "death penalty."
Zhao Hongbo was so sad that Shen Xue always comforted him: "You have to believe in yourself, and you will definitely appear in the Olympic Games!"
Encouraged by Shen Xue, two months later, Zhao Hongbo began to try to walk on the ground and do some basic movements.
Finally, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo miraculously stood on the field of the Turin Olympic Games.
On February 13, 2006, when watching Zhao Hongbo dragging his injured leg to the center of the stadium, the domestic audience who knew the inside story were very nervous at that time, because his every move and slight negligence might cause his achilles tendon to break again.
Finally, they finished the competition and won the bronze medal again.
After the game, Zhao Hongbo held Shen Xue's hand, and it took a long time to say a word: "Xiaoxue, you made me have today;" It was your love that made me stand on the podium ... "
Shen Xue was full of happy tears and couldn't say a word. ...
Kiss on your knees: this is the official declaration of our love.
After returning from Turin, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo officially confirmed their love relationship.
Although they fell in love with each other a few years ago, their relationship has never been broken and they dare not announce it to the outside world.
Because a friend of Zhao Hongbo once told him that when he and Shen Xue were still in their sports careers, it was best to make friends with the outside world. Once they are recognized as lovers, it will have a negative impact on their sports and life.
For example, a friend said, for example, you may need to have dinner with the opposite sex because of something. If you are seen by the unwitting media, you will be fired into an affair.
To this end, you need to constantly explain and clarify, and as a result, you spend all your energy on it. How can I train with peace of mind? Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue think what their friends say is very reasonable, so every time someone asks them, they all say they are "friends" and just "lovers on ice".
On one occasion, US Secretary of State condoleezza rice visited our country.
She especially likes figure skating.
Relevant leaders sent Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo to perform for her.
After the performance, Rice asked them, "I know you have performed many love stories on the ice. Please tell me, are you lovers? "
Shen Xue wanted to show her relationship with Zhao Hongbo at that time.
In her opinion, this is the best time and place to announce her love relationship with Zhao Hongbo.
She looked at Zhao Hongbo but Zhao Hongbo shook her head.
Shen Xue changed her mind and said, "We are very close brothers and sisters. As for feelings, maybe we will have feelings in the future, but not yet ... "
On the way back, Zhao Hongbo was ashamed of Shen Xue from the bottom of his heart. What girl doesn't want to be honest with her lover? However, for professional reasons, they can't show their relationship to the outside world, which is unfair to Shen Xue.
Since then, Zhao Hongbo has been trying to make up for Shen Xue in some way.
Because through so many years of contacts, he knew that Shen Xue was a kind girl and filial to her parents. It is his happiness to have her.
He doesn't want his beloved girl to suffer any injustice with him.
In March 2007, the World Figure Skating Championships were held in Tokyo.
This is the last appearance of Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo in the international competition.
After the game, they will bid farewell to the skating rink.
A few days before the competition, Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue trained normally as usual, but secretly, he added another "proposal" training.
In this farewell performance, he will not only win the championship, but also give Shen an unexpected surprise: propose to her in front of the audience all over the world and formally announce their relationship.
2 1 6 pm, the game officially started.
Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo appeared in the warm applause. Accompanied by Masnai's meditation, they dressed in blue and enjoyed their last world championship trip.
Three weeks later, the ice and two weeks later, the opening of the ice is perfect, two and a half weeks of jumping and three weeks of twisting. These moves were impeccable, and they made two clean shots before the end of the game.
After the whole action, the applause thundered and the audience stood up to cheer for them.
At this moment, Zhao Hongbo walked beside Shen Xue, put her arms around her waist, knelt on the ground, stared at Shen Xue's beautiful face affectionately and kissed her forehead gently.
He announced to the world in this special way: "Shen Xue, I love you, marry me!" " "Shen Xue don't understand the meaning of hong-bo zhao at first. When she saw his affectionate and expectant eyes, she suddenly understood everything.
She also knelt down and fell in Zhao Hongbo's arms, and the two embraced each other tightly. ...
The next day, the two officially announced their love affair to the outside world through a press conference and decided to get married in 2008.
Holding hands on the ice 15 years, this pair of "lovers on the ice" performed various versions of love classics, and finally, they perfectly staged their own special love declaration!
