In the women's 10-meter air rifle final of the Tokyo Olympics, 21-year-old Yang Qian from China scored a good score of 251.8 rings and won the gold medal! This is the first gold medal for the Chinese Olympic delegation in the Tokyo Olympics and the first gold medal at this Olympics! However, Yang Qian almost gave up shooting training for many reasons! What's going on? Today we will take a closer look at the legendary life of Olympic champion Yang Qian!

In July 2000, Yang Qian was born in Jiangshan Town, Yinzhou, Ningbo, Zhejiang, and attended Maoshan Primary School. Judging from the public information, her parents seem to be farmers, and her family has nothing to do with shooting sports! However, at that time, Yang Qian showed a psychological quality and shooting talent that were far beyond ordinary people!

Simultaneous news: Neighbor Yang Qian plays balloons. Neighbor Shao Yiqing said that Yang Qian has shown shooting talent since she was a child. "In our village, after the busy farming season, a singing and opera party was organized in the village. Someone brought balloons to deliver dolls. She hit one with each balloon and one with one shot. The stall owner said, can you stop playing? . She gave all the dolls to the children in the village. The children were so happy that they kept surrounding her. Sister Yang Qian helped me make another one. ”

Yang Qian said in an interview that she developed a strong curiosity about shooting sports when she was about 11 years old. At that time, what Yang Qian hoped most was that she could compete like those shooting athletes, so she forced her parents to learn shooting!

It was at this time that Yang Qian attracted the attention of shooting coach Yu Lihua . In 2010, Yu Lihua came to Maoshan Central Primary School in Yinzhou, Ningbo, Zhejiang. It was this chance encounter that changed Yang Qian's life and set her on the path of shooting!

Yu Lihua, a national-level shooting coach, has won the Ningbo City Outstanding Young Expert, and is also the recipient of the State Council’s special government allowance. He has led many world shooting champions. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he once became the Olympic torch bearer, and now Yu Lihua is currently the head coach of the Hailiang Education Shooting Team.

When Yu Lihua saw Yang Qian for the first time, he believed that Yang Qian was a good prospect in shooting sports! At that time, Yu Lihua noticed the particularly energetic girl at a glance! Her eyes are very spiritual and her eyes are particularly firm. Yu Lihua wants to bring Yang Qian into the shooting team of Ningbo Sports School for professional training!

Yang Qian’s mother once said that when she learned that her daughter was selected by the sports school, she was worried as a parent. For the parents, it was too hard for Yang Qian to undergo professional training, and the parents felt a little reluctant. She was afraid that Yang Qian wouldn't be able to endure the hardship, and she felt sad for herself. But Yang Qian was extremely determined. She stubbornly insisted on her ideal. With Yang Qian's persistence, her parents finally agreed to his decision!

The little Yang Qian showed her extraordinary talent as soon as she entered the shooting team. She won the runner-up in the National Youth Championship when she was 12 years old; two years later, when she was 14 years old, she won the Provincial Games. Won 3 gold medals and scored a world-class score of 399 in the 40-round women's air rifle shooting competition;

However, at this moment, Yang Qian faced a major crisis in her life. Yang Qian, who entered the shooting team with zero foundation, her initial training was mainly based on basic movements. Every day, she practiced holding a mouth, raising a gun, lying down, kneeling, and different repetitions. She first practiced one movement and maintained the same posture for more than ten minutes. Later, it slowly increased to one hour, two hours... It was not only boring but also boring. You must know that Yang Qian was an 11-year-old child at that time. Other children were still cared for at home by their parents like treasures, but Yang Qian was much older than Children of the same age face too many burdens.

The repetition day after day made Yang Qian feel very boring, and she felt extremely tired of shooting.

On one occasion, Yang Qian finally couldn't bear it anymore. She cried and told her mother that she wanted to give up shooting and go home to continue school. . . . . .

Dropped out of Tsinghua University and gave up shooting, the legendary life of Olympic champion Yang Qian Part 2!

The young Yang Qian was under tremendous pressure and cried to her mother for permission to give up shooting, hoping that her parents would agree to his request! Yang Qian said, “I was very determined to go home at that time.”

Before Yang Qian entered the sports school, her parents had always been opposed to Yang Qian's choice. However, this time, it was Yang Qian's parents who stopped her! Encourage him to persevere, and if you persevere a little more, you will be able to see your better self under the sun! We can understand the painstaking efforts of Yang Qian's parents. They must have felt distressed when facing their daughter who was in tears. They must have also experienced difficult inner struggles and painful suffering. But time has proved that the parents' decision is correct!

At the same time, the coach and the school are also doing Yang Qian’s work!

With the persistence of her parents, the help of her coach, and the encouragement of her friends who trained together, Yang Qian finally got through those difficult days. From that time on, Yang Qian’s Shooting training also began to improve gradually, and the results rose rapidly. Many years later, Yang Qian thought of this incident and said movedly, thanking her parents for their persistence, otherwise she would have given up!

Perhaps it was this persistence that allowed Yang Qian to start a strong psychological construction. Yang Qian’s curiosity about shooting became an indispensable part of her life! Shooting has also become his own need. What was boring at first has ignited the fire in his heart and turned into a fighting spirit deep in his heart!

Many years later, many people said that Yang Qian had a big heart, maybe it started from this time! And this has also become the decisive factor for her victory in the Olympics!

The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!

In 2014, Yang Qian participated in the Zhejiang Provincial Games and won 3 gold medals, and shot 40 rounds in the women's air rifle In the competition, Yang Qian's score was 399 rings, which is a world-class result; in 2015, Yang Qian participated in the Zhejiang Provincial Youth Shooting Championship, and she and her teammates achieved third place in the team. In December 2015 In August, Yang Qian was selected for the National Youth Team and also won the title of "National Sportsman". In 2016, Yang Qian was specially recruited to join the shooting team of the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University. She was 16 years old that year!

In 2018, Yang Qian took the general college entrance examination. Her special sports scores and cultural scores reached the score line of Tsinghua University, and she became a student of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, the highest institution in my country.

Since entering Tsinghua University, Yang Qian seems to have been cheating. Her grades have improved by leaps and bounds, and she has received frequent good news. She has won many heavyweight shooting competitions, broken national records, and even world records. Her first coach, Yu Lihua, said that she performed particularly well in every competition: "Yang Qian's biggest advantage is that she has a 'big heart.' Children in the same batch may have similar levels, but when it comes to the competition field, Yang Qian's performance is the best." "The best."

However, just when Yang Qian was about to reach glory, a special event broke Yang Qian's strong heart! Just five months after Yang Qian entered Tsinghua University, Yang Qian's mother became seriously ill. Yang Qian, who could fall asleep on the playing field, could no longer maintain her inner calm! So Yang Qian once wanted to give up her studies and training and go home to be with her mother, hoping that she could give her the best care.

Her mother said to her: "As long as you get good results and let the five-star red flag fly high on the field, it is my best medicine."

Yang Qian’s mother has never been to watch her games live, and will not even watch the game broadcasts. In an interview with Ningbo Evening News, Yang Qian’s mother smiled and said: “I’m too nervous! I don’t dare to watch it. "Every time, I wait until the competition is over to check the results."

During this competition, Yang Qian's parents, villagers, and classmates from Maoshan Primary School where Yang Qian studied were also sitting in Yangjia Nong Village. In the cultural auditorium, we are waiting for the results of Yang Qian's competition.

In large-scale competitions, there is actually not much difference in the level of players, but the real test is everyone’s psychological quality. Initially, Yang Qian also experienced numerous failures, and for a period of time, it was always difficult for her to perform at her best. She began to focus on the competition process, adjusted her shooting posture, and slowly found her form, and therefore understood that the process was more important than the result.

However, just when Yang Qian was about to reach glory, Yang Qian's mother became seriously ill, and Yang Qian could no longer maintain her inner calm! So Yang Qian once wanted to give up her studies and training and go home to be with her mother, hoping that she could give her the best care.

However, this time it was Yang Qian's parents who firmly gave Yang Qian strength. Her mother said to Yang Qian: "As long as you get good results and let the five-star red flag fly high on the field, you will be my best." Good medicine. ”

We don’t know Yang Qian’s reaction when she heard her mother’s words, but we can still feel the shock in her heart! Yang Qian once said that the attraction of shooting is largely due to the fighting spirit it arouses in Yang Qian. Because she is not just fighting alone! She has family and a country behind her!

Yang Qian once again devoted her body and mind to training, training again and again. Every little progress she made inspired Yang Qian to continue pursuing higher goals and better self; Yang Qian's requirements for herself are becoming more and more strict. Yang Qian said, "For example, if I don't shoot well once during practice, I will take the initiative to ask myself, I must shoot this shot well today, and I can't Give up."

Yang Qian, who achieved excellent results, attracted the attention of Wang Yifu, the head coach of the national shooting team. In 2019, Yang Qian was selected for the national shooting team training list. After being selected for the national team, Yang Qian's performance has been greatly improved again!

In the preliminary team trials for the Tokyo Olympics, Yang Qian ranked first in the overall score and entered the 8-person Olympic training team for this event.

After ten years of sharpening a sword, I have never tried the frost blade!

Yang Qian finally ushered in the most important moment in his life. When Wang Luyao unexpectedly lost, Yang Qian withstood the pressure! In the ranking battle of the top three, Yang Qian lags behind Garashna. For the peak showdown between the world's top players, 0.1 ring is likely to be an unsurpassable peak. In the 23rd round, Yang Qian shot 10.7 points, still 0.2 points behind her opponent. Until the last round, Yang Qian withstood the pressure, reversed the situation, and won the championship in one fell swoop! Two days later, Yang Haoran and Yang Qian won the gold medal in the 10-meter air rifle mixed team shooting. The national anthem of the Republic of China was once again played at the Tokyo Olympics! Yang Qian became a double champion at the Tokyo Olympics!

During the interview, Yang Qian, a girl from Ningbo, expressed that she most wanted to eat the "braised prawns" made by her mother. Her mother also shouted domineeringly from the distance: There are enough prawns. Yang Qian’s mother said happily that her daughter would not have to worry about getting married!

From here we can also see the happiness of Yang Qian’s mother, and it also reminds us again that Yang Qian is still a post-2000 college student. A girl who is only 21 years old, Yang Qian is no different from ordinary girls. , she also loves beauty, can do manicures, and likes cute hairpins. After winning the championship, she will express her joy and express her gratitude to her family and coach. There have been some criticisms of Yang Qian on the Internet, but Yang Qian is just a little girl after all. We should be more encouraging and tolerant towards Yang Qian!

She still has a long way to go. We really hope that Yang Qian can win more gold medals for China in the future. I wish Yang Qian’s road will become wider and wider!
