Guo Wenjun: He gave up shooting to work, and later staged the return of the king, and her husband was also a shooting champion

Guo Wenjun is a legendary figure born for shooting. This authentic Shaanxi girl has won the gold medal of the women's 10-meter air pistol for two consecutive years, and also became the first athlete in history to win the gold medal in the project. As everyone knows, behind the dazzling aura, there are many untold stories.

Since childhood, he has loved guns and formed an indissoluble relationship with guns

When Guo Wenjun was very young, because of personal family reasons, her parents were often not around, so she lived with her grandparents when she was young. Probably because there is no companionship and care from his parents, Guo Wenjun developed an independent, tenacious and unyielding personality when he was a child.

In addition to his personality like a boy, Guo Wenjun's hobbies are also like boys. When other girls are playing with Barbie dolls, Guo Wenjun has a special love for toy guns, and when he sees toy guns, he is particularly happy and loves them.

Guo Wenjun may not have imagined that she would go from a hobby to a profession for guns and become a famous shooter, and her story with guns began.

Become a professional shooter with twists and turns

At the age of 14, Guo Wenjun was selected by chance to enter the Xi'an Military Sports School and learn shooting with coach Huang Yanhua. She also officially began systematic shooting training, which is very late for professional athletes.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, and in the first few years of her shooting career, she stumbled, did not have the opportunity to participate in major competitions, and participated in some small competitions, which gave her a very big blow. However, she persevered. With her restrained and calm personality and the strength not to accept defeat, she is strict with herself, and secretly increases her training after each training.

Her grades quickly caught up, making it all the way up, and at the age of 22, she successfully entered the national shooting team with excellent results.

The road to success is never smooth. Guo Wenjun, who entered the national team, has also suffered from the ups and downs of the state and the frustration of the field, coupled with her some discomfort with the strict management of the national team, and the idea of retirement was born. Therefore, despite the persuasion of her coach and relatives, she gave up shooting and chose to go to work, and one dozen was two years.

Two years of working life made her more mature, and there was enough time to think about the future, she did not want to go on like this, decided to stick to her dreams. Eventually, she returned to the shooting team and raised the pistol she had in mind.

Beijing is just beginning to emerge

Soon after returning to the national team, Guo Wenjun threw herself into an intense and heavy training task because she wanted to win glory for the country in Beijing. Maybe she didn't know that the highlight of her life was coming. She just focused on every training session as usual, and every time she finished with high standards and strict requirements, welcoming the arrival of the competition.

In the women's air pistol preliminaries on August 10, Guo Wenjun played normally and successfully entered the final with the second place result.

In the final, Guo Wenjun felt the pressure that she had never felt before, because this time the opponent was the powerful Russian star Pajelina, but the strong psychological quality made Guo Wenjun resist the pressure, and she secretly told herself: Focus on each shot, don't think too much.

In the final, Guo Wenjun shot every shot higher than her usual training level, establishing the lead early, and she also successfully maintained this advantage until the end of the game.

In the end, Guo Wenjun won the championship with a record-breaking result of 492.3 rings, winning the third gold medal of the 08 Chinese Legion.

Love has come to fruition and has reached the top again after four years

After the Beijing competition, Guo Wenjun, who won the gold medal, began to shift his focus from shooting to family. Because she met the fellow shooter who loved her the most.

Guo Wenjun and Du Lei are both champion-level players of the Shaanxi team, but Guo Wenjun practices pistols and Du Lei is a rifle. They have known each other for a long time, and they have also encouraged each other to make progress together in training and competitions, sowing the seeds of love.

On September 25, 2010, Guo Wenjun and Du Lei held a grand wedding in Xi'an City and completed their marriage event. A year later, Guo Wenjun gave birth to a lovely daughter in Xi'an.

Guo Wenjun, who has become a mother, has never given up on training while taking care of her daughter, because she still has a dream in her heart, that is, to defend the gold medal of the women's 10m air pistol in London in 2012.

The outside world is generally not very optimistic about Guo Wenjun, thinking that she is older, plus she has just given birth to a child, and her sports status will definitely decline. In the face of external doubts, Guo Wenjun always insisted on doing a good job and maintaining a high level of training intensity. And what awaits her is another wonderful bloom.

In the london women's 10m air pistol final, Guo Wenjun and France's Gobeville launched a fierce competition. The first few shots, Guo Wenjun has been behind the fiery Gobeville, the final decisive gun, Guo Wenjun showed the calm and calm of a veteran, with a shot 10.8 ring staged a good play, the gold medal into the pocket. Guo Wenjun once again stood on the highest podium, becoming the first player in history to win the gold medal in the women's 10-meter air pistol.

Don't forget your original intention, stick to the shooting you love

Guo Wenjun, who won the gold medal in the women's 10-meter air pistol for two consecutive years, can be regarded as a success, but she is not complacent about the achievements she has made in the past, and continues to train to participate in the competition.

Unfortunately, with the increase of age and the decline of sports status, Guo Wenjun's performance can no longer be compared with his peak. Last year, she served as the torchbearer of the Shaanxi National Games, and also represented the Shaanxi team in the women's 10m air pistol.

Maintaining her love of shooting, she held the gun that she had been with her for more than ten years tightly in her hand, letting the muzzle emit a hot flame and erupting towards the bullseye ten meters away. Although she has not achieved very satisfactory results, her unremitting efforts and persistence have been admired by everyone.

Now Guo Wenjun has put more emphasis on his family and is very happy. Although the legend has come to an end, it remains in everyone's heart, and we will always remember guo Wenjun, the hero of the shooting range!
