"It only takes one second to knock down an opponent, but holding out to that second is a multiple test of ability, physical strength, skill, mental and psychological." On the afternoon of November 17, Zou Shiming, a famous boxer and two-time Olympic champion, walked into the campus of Shanghai Normal University and shared his sports career and struggle stories as a guest of the eighth "Growing Up". Along with him were Xiao Tingting, the champion of the Gymnastics World Cup on uneven bars, and Yuan Qi, the champion of the 2021 Shanghai Collegiate Basketball Tournament.
In his speech, Zou Shiming recalled his sports stories of more than 20 years of bonding in boxing, reaching the top of the championship, and sticking to his original intention. "From the Asian Games to the World Championships to the Olympic Games, to the world boxing champion's gold belt, I took it step by step, and my ideas were changing little by little." Zou Shiming said, "Boxing has given me too much too much, and now I am always thinking, what can I do for it? ”
"I want to take Shanghai as the center, radiate the whole country, export to the outside world, introduce advanced boxing sports culture concepts internally, and cultivate 10,000 elite small boxers." Zou Shiming revealed that he hopes to promote the development of boxing in China within ten years, with Shanghai as the center, so that Shanghai can become a boxing window for all of China and all of Asia." He also hopes that his love of boxing will infect college students and inspire their love of sports.
Xiao Tingting, who is currently working as a teacher at the School of Physical Education of Shanghai Normal University, was the high and low bar champion of the 2006 Gymnastics World Cup in Shanghai, and she also told her experience of getting acquainted with gymnastics at the scene. Xiao Tingting believes that the spirit of sportsmanship is to face difficulties and be brave in the face of challenges, and to harvest honor without arrogance or impatience.
Yuan Qi, an alumnus of Shanghai Normal University in 2021, won the first shanghai basketball tournament for Shanghai Normal University as a member of the school basketball team. He also shared the story of his and his teammates gritting their teeth and never giving up in the face of two tough enemies who were defeated twice.
"How many spring and autumn years have passed, and I still have to walk bravely without being rewarded." At the end of the event, Zou Shiming and Yin Weijie, a teacher at Shanghai Normal University, brought the stage premiere of the song "My Heart Is Still There", which pushed the activity to a climax with an exciting and high-pitched singing voice.
"Ten years to sharpen a sword, there is no eternal champion, only eternal hero." Fang Tian, a 2021 physical education student of Shanghai Normal University Physical Education College, said that he was deeply touched by Zou Shiming's words in his speech. "For athletes, sports competition is not only a sport, but also a partner, bringing countless injuries to athletes, but also bringing supreme honor and recognition. The strength shown by Mr. Zou Shiming, Mr. Xiao Tingting and Mr. Yuan Qi in the arena has infected us and inspired us to be positive and not afraid of difficulties. Let us understand that every championship is to surpass ourselves, and every breakthrough is a transcendence to our previous self. (Fu Wenjing)
