In the living room on the second floor of Rongjiang County's home, all kinds of medals won by Long Daoyi are hung and placed. "Every medal is made of sweat!" Long Daoyi's mother, Wei Xueyan, said.
Long Daoyi has also suffered injuries and experienced low points in the sport he loves, but the love of his parents has always been with him.
"I tell him from time to time that every competition is not easy, and every victory has to go through a lot of hardships, since you choose and love this sport, you must learn to persevere and struggle." Wei Xueyan said that her son also lived up to expectations, firm in his direction, and became more and more courageous.
In an interview with reporters, Long Daoyi said that he had a careful wish: "When I have a vacation, I want to go back to my hometown Rongjiang to watch a 'village super'." He said that he hopes that one day in the future, Guizhou will have a diving team, so that he can dive in Guizhou and teach more children to participate in this sport.
For the elders and villagers of Rongjiang, Long Daoyi's Olympic gold medal is of great significance. As the hometown of children's gymnastics in Guizhou Province, athletes from Rongjiang have won a number of world championships in gymnastics, rock climbing and other fields, and the Olympic gold medal will surely inspire more Rongjiang people who love sports to continue to struggle and create brilliance in the field of sports.
