On July 26, the Olympic Games, a four-year sporting event, finally kicked off on the Seine River in Paris.
On the second day of the "war", that is, on the day of the opening meeting, China's first gold was finally born.
The winning event was the 10m air rifle mixed team event.
A "dark horse" stood out in this shooting competition, and he was not only the champion of the air rifle mixed team event;
He also broke the Olympic record in the men's 10m air rifle final on July 29 and won the gold medal.
This "dark horse" is Sheng Lihao, who "wins gold just by doing dry rice".
It was only at the age of 13 that he officially picked up air rifle, and then he was selected for the national team just two years later;
From picking up the air gun to debut in the Olympics, he has only been training for less than four years, and he already has a resume as an Olympic runner-up.
At the age of 18, Sheng Lihao was escorted to Tsinghua University, and this year he won the Olympic title again.
Under such a glamorous resume, his "humorous" nature cannot be hidden.
hand-picked by CCTV, he jokingly called himself "winning gold just by doing dry food";
In an interview with reporters, he thanked "If it weren't for the cold water poured on him by his parents, he wouldn't be where he is today."
So how exactly does this teenager step by step become an Olympic champion?
What kind of interesting soul is hidden under the halo of the world crown?
A well-behaved boy meets Bole
Sheng Lihao was born in a very ordinary family, and his parents were both working-class;
Although his family is not considered wealthy, his parents are very loving, which can be seen from his name.
Sheng Lihao's mother's name is Sheng Yajuan, and she married her father Li Xiangping after meeting her in the factory.
After giving birth to him in 2004, she named her son Sheng Lihao after the surnames of the two.
Growing up in such a happy family, he has been very sensible and obedient since he was a child;
When I was in kindergarten, I was too young to be picked up by my parents every day.
When I entered elementary school, I started to go to and from school on my own, and when I got home, I finished my homework and waited for my parents to come home for dinner.
Although Sheng Lihao is very obedient, he also likes firearms like other boys, and often simulates battle scenes with his friends.
One vacation when he was in elementary school, his father took his son to see real firearms, so he took him to a local shooting club.
This shooting made Sheng Lihao feel an unprecedented experience, and after that, he would pester his father to experience the fun of shooting at this club every holiday, and the owner of this club was also silently observing the boy.
It turned out that the owner of this club was named Li Ming, who was an athlete of the Suzhou shooting team.
When Sheng Lihao first arrived, he found that this boy was extremely focused and accurate far beyond other peers.
In addition, seeing Sheng Lihao's love for shooting, he discussed with Sheng Lihao and his father whether they had any ideas to pursue a career.
After returning home, the couple discussed that since their son had a talent in this area, let him give it a try, after all, it was an opportunity that ordinary people could hardly get.
In this way, Sheng Lihao officially entered the Suzhou Amateur Sports School Shooting Team at the age of 13, and it only took half a year of professional training for him to reach the top 15 in the adult competition.
Many people call Sheng Li Hao a "genius", but if you understand their training process, you can know that it is difficult to achieve such an achievement with "genius" alone.
Shooting requires training day after day, and it is necessary to maintain a high level of concentration every day, and every movement must be very stable;
Coupled with the fact that the people in the training team were more experienced than him, it made him feel frustrated a lot.
But fortunately, with the encouragement of his family and teammates, Sheng Lihao strengthened his pace of progress and stepped into the larger platform of the Jiangsu Provincial Shooting Team.
However, as his results got better and better, he went further and further on the road of shooting, and "dry rice" became a difficult thing.
The farther and farther you go, "dry rice" has become a problem
After Sheng Lihao entered the provincial team, he needed to eat and live with his teammates in the training team every day, and rarely ate the meals cooked by his parents;
Not to mention those hot pots, barbecues, hamburgers and other delicacies.
As a professional athlete, Sheng Lihao's diet during training is very strictly controlled to ensure that their physical condition and competitive level will not be affected.
The sports team will be equipped with a corresponding nutritionist, although the nutrition is balanced, but it is necessary to strictly control oil and sugar, so as not to affect the body's reaction speed and stability.
Especially during the competition, it is necessary to focus on high-protein, low-fat foods.
However, Sheng Lihao is a picky eater, he doesn't like to eat a lot of food, and even his stomach is not very good.
In order to ensure his balanced nutrition, Sheng Lihao's coach Shen Chao often accompanies him to eat;
will even help him add some vegetables, so that Sheng Lihao's picky eating habit will be slowly corrected.
However, for Sheng Lihao, his favorite is the braised pork made by his mother, and every time he comes home from vacation, he will see this dish on the dinner table.
Sheng Lihao sometimes wants to go out to eat a little "junk food", but her mother refuses them one by one, after all, the coach has given her special advice.
In order to avoid affecting his physical condition, his mother had to use the food at home to dispel such thoughts.
Sheng Lihao's online name is "Just by Cooking", and he said that he hopes the name reminds him to eat well, but he can also see his love for food.
Sheng Lihao won gold medals in the air rifle individual, air rifle team and rifle 3 positions individual during the provincial team training in 2018;
In the same year, he won the individual championship in the National Shooting Championships with a score of 250.3 rings.
These achievements made him successfully selected for the national team in 2019, but he was "broken with cold water" by his parents before entering the national team.
Entering the national team, parents "poured cold water" on them
In fact, although Sheng Lihao's parents are very happy that he has entered the national team, they have always been worried about his future.
Sheng Lihao's parents believe that the national team is "full of masters", and athletes are also a bowl of "youth rice";
Whether the son can win the championship is another matter, and what will happen after retirement is a big question mark.
Before entering the national team, his parents reminded Sheng Lihao that the competition on this road is very fierce, and after entering the national team, both the training intensity and the competition pressure will be much greater.
Therefore, if you really want to enter the national team, you must consider these practical issues.
At that time, Sheng Lihao was very puzzled by his parents' "cold water education", but he also strengthened his shooting path.
Sheng Lihao believes that if you want your parents to recognize the path you are taking, then you must continue to train hard and prove your ability with actual results.
It is precisely because of his persistence and hard work after entering the national team that his ability in shooting has continued to improve, and he has also achieved excellent results one after another.
Sheng Lihao's coach said that he has maintained a high level of concentration and receptivity since entering the national team, and his daily training content includes physical training, technical training and mental training.
Not only does this give him great physical condition and technical precision, but it also keeps him calm and focused during the game.
After entering the national team, Sheng Lihao trained for a long time to prepare for international competitions in the future.
The 2021 Tokyo Olympics has become an important event for him to stand on the world stage.
In fact, Sheng Lihao was unable to participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to lack of competition points, but because of the impact of the epidemic, he participated in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics as he wished.
Although Sheng Lihao achieved a good score of 250.9 at the Tokyo Olympics, he still lagged behind the United States and won a silver medal.
This is a good result for a young player who is entering the Olympics for the first time, but it still makes him regret it in his heart.
At this year's Paris Olympics, he made up for his regrets and even won the title of "double champion".
The future of the young double champion is promising
After the Tokyo Olympics, Sheng Li Hao participated in many international competitions.
Last year alone, he won the men's air rifle and 10m air rifle mixed team championships in the National Shooting Competition and the Shooting World Cup.
Not to mention last year's Hangzhou Asian Games, Sheng Lihao set a new world record.
Sheng Lihao cooperated with his partner Huang Yuting in the 10-meter air rifle mixed team event at the Paris Olympics and successfully won the first gold medal for China in the Olympic Games.
After that, he led the way in the men's 10m air pistol individual competition, and finally won the gold medal with a score of 252.2 rings, which impressed the world with the 19-year-old.
After the game, some media interviewed Sheng Lihao, and also mentioned his parents' "cold water education".
He said that his parents' doubts and incomprehension at that time did make him feel frustrated for a while;
But it was this skepticism that made him firm in his choice to stick to his dream even in the face of many difficulties.
Looking at what their son said in the media, Sheng Lihao's parents said that they were not blindly "pouring cold water" at the beginning, but wanted to tell their son to be able to look at this road that is not easy to take rationally.
Now that their son has achieved such an achievement, they are very proud and gratified, and they believe that their son can go further and further on the road in the future and win more world championships.
epilogue
Many people call Sheng Li Hao a "genius" in air rifle shooting, and it is really enviable that he can win the Olympic championship at such a young age.
But in fact, the simple word "genius" erased most of the efforts behind him.
Talent was a big part of the discovery of his talent, but it was hard work the day after tomorrow that was the key to his Olympic success and success.
The Olympic "double champion" has had a hard time, and behind his calm and down-to-earth personality is actually a lively and cheerful teenager.
For him, there is still a long way to go in life, and there are still many championships waiting for him, and he will not only become the pride of his parents, but also the pride of China.
Finally, I hope that the Olympic athletes from the mainland can achieve outstanding results in this Olympic Games.
