  Gold medal in women's double sculls coxless sculls  

  Shen Shuangmei: Stabilize your mentality and prepare for the Olympics

Shen Shuangmei, a 2021 undergraduate student majoring in sports training in the School of Sports Science, and her partner Lu Shiyu perfectly cooperated to continue the glory of the World Cup and won the first gold in Guangzhou in the women's double sculls coxless event at the Asian Games. Behind the honor is not only the tacit cooperation between the two, but also the strong strength and profound experience accumulated over the past ten years. When she won the championship, Shen Shuangmei couldn't help but sigh: "The efforts in the past few years have always paid off." ”

In the process of preparing for the competition, the coach is responsible for preparing the training process, and the athletes are more likely to adjust their mentality to cope with the training schedule. In the pre- and in-match phases, Shen Shuangmei focused on calming down and maintaining humility and calm: "Generally, I don't put myself in the highest position, just 'pull' myself down a little. After the game, she will also conduct a rational analysis of each result, "Whether it is good or bad, you tried your best and got the results, which is what you have played at your current level." "Calm her mind in terms of ideas and focus on practice in her actions – this is her secret to climbing to higher heights on a down-to-earth basis.

In her usual training, she will release pressure by walking, playing games, etc., and will also communicate with a coach when necessary. "Because the coach is also an athlete, he must have accumulated more experience than us, so I will understand a lot about him and he will enlighten me a lot." In the two-way communication between the coach and the athlete, the coach can understand her state in time and use her experience to help, while Shen Shuangmei can also adjust her mentality in time to calmly meet the challenges of various competitions.

At the same time, under the guidance of the spirit of women's volleyball, she has always been firm in her belief in unity and forging ahead. Volleyball and rowing are both team events, and both require mutual trust and teamwork. Therefore, for Shen Shuangmei, the spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team winning the championship under strong pressure and high pressure is worth learning, which has also become her strong spiritual motivation. For next year's Paris Olympics, she set this goal: "Hope one, compete for two, fight three!" ”

  The men's eight-man sculls have a gold medal for coxswain  

  Ni Xulin, Nie Yide: Concentrate on precipitation and strive for excellence  

Ni Xulin (standing, second right) and Nie Yide (standing right)

Equally striking is that Ni Xulin, a 2019 undergraduate student majoring in sports training in the School of Sports Science, and Nie Yide, a 2023 undergraduate student, successfully won the Asian Games men's eight-man sculls coxswain event. As a veteran of men's rowing in major events, Ni Xulin once again won the championship to show his stable and strong strength; As an outstanding athlete participating in the Asian Games for the first time, Nie Yide's first gold medal undoubtedly indicates a glorious future that people look forward to.

Ni Xulin

Unlike the double sculls, the eight-person sculls are faster and require more physical support, so Ni Xulin in No. 7 contributes more in terms of speed and strength as a physical responsibility. Previously, in order to meet the competition standards of the Asian Games, Ni Xulin lost weight from 102 kilograms to 95 kilograms in one week, and could only put water in his mouth and spit it out during training. In addition to the hunger of the body, participating in the selection also gave him greater psychological pressure. "At that time, I thought about participating in the Asian Games, after all, I was the host." With strong willpower, Ni Xulin successfully qualified for the competition and won the championship with his teammates.

Nie Yide

Before each competition, Nie Yide built a strong confidence. Before the game, he always maintained "hard work" and kept up with the rhythm of training and constantly improved his quality. During the game, he strictly implemented the plan arranged by the coach in advance, focused on himself and coordinated with his teammates, and brought out the strength accumulated over a long period of time. For him, "the whole game went relatively smoothly and everything went according to the expected goal".

Speaking of the future, Ni Xulin will aim at the qualification trials for the Paris Olympic Games, continuously improve his physical literacy, and set out towards the most desired Olympic venue, while Nie Yide, as an excellent athlete who continues to explore forward, hopes to be able to work hard, accumulate competition experience, and achieve greater self-improvement in the future.

  Gold medal in women's 50m backstroke  

  Silver medal in women's 100m backstroke  

  Wang Xueer: I want to become a university teacher  

In the women's 50m backstroke final and the women's 100m backstroke final of the swimming event, Wang Xueer, a 2020 master's student majoring in physical education and training in the School of Sports Science, won the championship and runner-up respectively, winning 1 gold and 1 silver.

After Wang Xueer won the women's 50-meter backstroke, Liu Xiang, the goddess of Chinese swimming and senior sister, turned into a reporter to interview Wang Xueer and jointly call the Chinese teacher of her alma mater.

Looking back at the Asian Games, Wang Xueer recognized her achievements. For athletes, any small breakthrough is hard-won. Being able to quickly adjust to the national team and achieve a breakthrough of 0.2s in the women's 50m backstroke event with joining the national team and changing training ideas and plans is undoubtedly a great achievement. Although she unfortunately won silver in the women's 100m backstroke, Wang said she would appreciate the experience because it allowed her to spot her problems in time and adjust her training plan accordingly. "Whether it's first or second, I recognize myself." She said. Success is born out of regrets, as long as you are willing to grow and correct in regrets, victory will always arrive.

Since injuries were found in the first half of the year's examination, after the Asian Games, Wang Xueer plans to go for a more comprehensive physical examination and take a break for injuries. If her health allows, she will represent the Chinese Division at the National Student (Youth) Games in November. She is also planning to get a ticket to next year's Paris Olympics.

In the future, Wang Xueer hopes to stay in China Normal to become a university teacher and become a bridge between sports teams and universities. As an athlete student, she has her own experience of balancing study and training. She wants to turn the pits she stepped on into lights on the way forward for students, helping athlete students like her. As a physical education teacher, she hopes that she will be able to nurture both good physical and human beings in the future, and pass on her professional knowledge and ideas to students. In order to achieve her expectations, Wang Xueer may continue her studies, deepen her profession, and prepare for becoming a university teacher.

  Badminton men's team gold medal  

  Leung: Relax with total concentration  

"We all have the conviction of victory!" This is the first time that Liang Weihang, a 2020 undergraduate student majoring in physical education in the School of Sports Science, participated in the Asian Games, and in the final of the badminton men's team competition, he and his teammates fought hard to finally achieve a shocking reversal of two to three, winning the gold medal and presenting a birthday gift for his motherland. When raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, he was both excited and enthusiastic, and he was proud that he could win glory for the country.

Looking back at the Asian Games schedule, he was most impressed by the two matches against Chinese Taipei and Japan, both of which were played with a big score of 0:1 behind, which put a certain amount of pressure on him and his partner, "completely focused and relaxed" "slow down the pace, don't rush, play each ball well, just be yourself", it is with this mentality that he and his partner overcame strong opponents and equalized for the team.

No one's career will be smooth sailing. The loss of the World Championships not long ago made Leung Wai Hang have the idea of "not wanting to practice", but this idea was only temporary, he quickly adjusted his mentality, quickly put into training, improved his strength, superb ball skills, and at the same time constantly spurred himself and his partner, so that the two are synchronized, concentric, and walking. Under the high-intensity and intense training, he also pays attention to the combination of work and rest, and will relax by running, playing video games and other ways in his spare time.

Although there will be regrets in the individual events of this Asian Games, this will never wear away his determination and confidence to move forward. "The fastest step is not sprinting, but perseverance." He always believed that day after day of training would turn into a light that illuminated the way ahead and guided him on the train to Paris.

  Zeng Wenhui: Both joy and regret  

Zeng Wenhui, who majored in sports training in 2023 in the School of Sports Science, is just 18 years old, but she is already a veteran with rich competition experience. Unlike the last Asian Games and medals, this time Zeng Wenhui finally stood on the podium of women's street skateboarding and won the silver medal. For the results of this competition, Zeng Wenhui was both happy and regretful, "Although I didn't get the highest level, I also completed my movements, and I also knew my shortcomings, and I will continue to improve and continue to work hard." ”

Standing in 2023 and looking forward to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Zeng Wenhui's goal is clear and clear, down-to-earth, focusing her training on improving her stability and physical fitness, improving difficulty, and not deliberately pursuing rankings and results, just need to enjoy every competition, hoping to have new breakthroughs and new gains in each competition.

In addition to the breakthrough in achievements, Zeng Wenhui also gained a unique experience. What impressed Zeng Wenhui the most was the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. The grand and magnificent scene, the enthusiastic shouts along the way from the Asian Games Village to the big lotus, she will not forget for a long time. Here, she feels the enthusiasm of Hangzhou and the pride of being an athlete, and being able to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games is a precious memory for her and the most proud thing.

Along the way, Zeng Wenhui has devoted her passion, hard work and youth to the skateboarding project. Zeng Wenhui had a lot to say about this project, but finally just said simply, "Live up to your love and move forward!" Come on Chinese skateboarding! This is also a portrayal of her life, on the road of skateboarding, she still loves, still moves forward, and creates new brilliance for herself and Chinese skateboarding.

"Give it your all in every game!" As a member of the Chinese women's national football team, Chen Qiaozhu participated in the Asian Games for the first time, and scored a total of three goals in the competition schedule of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, and even scored twice in the final third-place battle, further widening the gap and finally winning the bronze medal.

In fact, this time the goal of the Asian Games is also the first time that Chen Qiaozhu has scored for the national team on the platform of the national team, she said that she had a sense of achievement when she scored, and hoped that she could continue to work hard in the future. Compared with herself in the last World Cup group stage, Chen Qiaozhu said that she has improved a lot in terms of ability and mentality adjustment, and the pressure has been very large, but the ability to bear it has slowly increased. Usually play a game to summarize herself, for her own shortcomings, constantly tell herself which aspect to strengthen, and then improve her self-confidence and desire to win, and constantly improve her requirements, which is why she is improving every game.

Looking back on the Asian Games, Chen Qiaozhu said that she actually regretted losing the opportunity to win the gold medal. One of the games that impressed her the most was against the Japanese women's team, where everyone was not in very good shape in the first half, but they were not discouraged when they conceded the goal too quickly, and went all out in the second half to close the gap. Although the results are not satisfactory, they will sum up the experience and do their best to improve the shortcomings.

For the future, Chen Qiaozhu wants to focus on the present and concentrate on playing well. "Just in the right year, don't let yourself leave regrets", she hopes that she can go all out in every training session and every game in the future, do her best, do the best of the coach's requirements, and repay the team, the coach, and the country.
