Cheng Fei, as an iconic figure in Chinese women's gymnastics, led the team to win the first women's team Olympic gold medal in the history of Chinese gymnastics in the 08 Beijing Olympic Games, creating the best results in gymnastics, and is known as the first well-deserved women's vault in China.
Due to injury, he chose to retire at the age of 25 and transformed into a coach, but who expected that after this, Cheng Fei's body shape was seriously out of shape, not as slim as before, and he was constantly urged to marry by his father.
However, why did the former "gymnastics queen" become like this? Has she found love now?
Cheng Fei
In the history of gymnastics in China, there has never been a shortage, and Cheng Fei is one of them, who was sent to Wuhan Institute of Physical Education for formal training at the age of 7.
But at that time, Cheng Fei's family was poor and couldn't afford the tuition at all, but fortunately, there was Bole, Zhao Hanhua, who was a coach at the time, saw Cheng Fei's efforts, and in order to be able to retain such an excellent child, he applied to the school for the treatment of a student of her formal sports academy.
Wuhan Sports Institute immediately approved Coach Zhao Hanhua's request, and in this way, Cheng Fei became a regular student, no longer worried about tuition, and in order to live up to the expectations of others, she worked harder for training.
In 2001, Cheng Fei entered the national team with excellent results, and at the same time participated in the Athens Olympics in 2004.
At the same time, this statement made the coach discover the advantages of Cheng Fei and felt that she was fully qualified for the vault event, because no one had been able to stand up in the vault event at that time.
In the end, Cheng Fei embarked on the road of vaulting, and at the 2005 World Championships in Melbourne, at the age of 17, she became famous with the action of "180 degrees of kicking and backhand flip and 540 degrees of straight front flip", and won the first women's vault gold medal in the history of Chinese gymnastics.
And Cheng Fei's set of movements also became the first vaulting horse action named after a Chinese, called "Cheng Fei jump". After that, Cheng Fei relied on this difficult action to "fight the invincible opponents all over the world".
Won the 2006 and 2007 World Championships vault championship consecutively, and also became the world's leader in the women's vault event, Cheng Fei became the captain of the national women's gymnastics team in 2007.
But Cheng Fei did not disappoint everyone, in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she led the team members to win the first women's team Olympic gold medal in the history of Chinese gymnastics.
After the competition, Cheng Fei's body lit up with a "red light", at the age of 20, she was already "old" in the gymnastics team, and she originally wanted to compete in an Olympics.
It's not easy to write, the author also writes articles at work in the company every day, works overtime until 12 o'clock in the evening every day, and the daily income is only more than 50 yuan, and the text is unlocked with 5 seconds of advertising, just to be able to earn a few more yuan, I hope I don't scold it, I hope the audience understands
But unexpectedly, in the first month of the London Olympics, she suddenly ruptured her Achilles tendon, which completely ended her career, so she announced her retirement.
In 2013, the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education announced that it would hire Cheng Fei as a coach, and the school also gave her the treatment of an associate professor, which was a challenge for Cheng Fei.
Because after all, coaches are different from athletes, and the change of identity will also make Cheng Fei feel uncomfortable, because as a person whose technical understanding has reached the top, he just faced some ordinary people who knew everything, and they didn't understand many professional terms.
But Cheng Fei felt that this was very understandable, and later after her perseverance, she worked hard to find her own shortcomings, and continued to learn to "gradually enter the role of teacher".
Although her career has been stable, Cheng Fei, who is in her 30s, is still not married, which can't help but make everyone feel sorry, when participating in the show, the host also read a letter from Cheng Fei's father.
At the end of the letter, he hoped that Cheng Fei could find a good son-in-law as soon as possible, and even Coach Cheng Fei once took the initiative to find her and let her have a boyfriend, but Cheng Fei used the gymnastics team's rules that she couldn't fall in love before retiring as an excuse, so she hadn't found it yet.
Actually, it's not that Cheng Fei doesn't want to get married, but there are two things that stop her.
It's hard to find a good person
Cheng Fei has always been a very dedicated person, she is very serious about her own affairs, and when she was in Wuhan, she found that the reserve strength of mainland gymnastics was insufficient.
So Cheng Fei put her focus on the children, she wanted to let gymnastics into ordinary people's families, and tell the importance of gymnastics to the children's parents, so that more children can join in gymnastics, so that the mainland's gymnastics reserve force will grow.
In addition to work reasons, there is actually a more important reason, that is, Cheng Fei's weight problem, because she ate a lot and exercised a lot when she was training before, so her figure has always been very slim.
However, with retirement, there was no high-intensity exercise, and the diet was not as strict as it was at that time, plus because of injuries, a lot of drugs were needed, which added up to Cheng Fei's weight soared seriously.
And Cheng Fei is not in a hurry in the face of feelings, but her parents are in a hurry, and they keep arranging blind dates for her, but because Cheng Fei is always in the dormitory in her spare time, even the training circle is very small, so she doesn't know how to get along with others.
When Cheng Fei's weight was at its worst, it was almost close to 200 pounds, so her family thought of many ways to no avail, but they were also very optimistic about Cheng Fei.
In 2015, Cheng Fei was a guest in "A Date with Luyu" and told her story, when her mentor Lu Shanzhen was also there, as soon as Lu Shanzhen arrived, Cheng Fei hurriedly said: "I've been swimming recently."
Lu Shanzhen also joked about this: "I'm afraid that if you go, the water in the pool will flow out", Lu Yu hurriedly played a round next to him, and Cheng Fei said that he had nothing to love.
The relationship between the two is better than that of father and daughter, so Lu Shanzhen is also as anxious as her father about Cheng Fei's emotional problems, in fact, Cheng Fei has never shied away from this issue, she has her own criteria for choosing a mate, she has always said that she likes a man like Huang Lei, and the two can talk and have a tacit understanding.
Today's Cheng Fei is still shining in the sports industry, although her figure is out of shape, but once she steps on the balance beam, Cheng Fei is still very flexible.
Every time she asks when she will find a partner, Cheng Fei says that "fate" will definitely come, and I believe that she will soon find her future partner.
