As Zou Jingyuan made a complete set of high-standard actions, and finally came to a wonderful lower bar action, Zou Jingyuan's mother Liu Liqun, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, finally couldn't hold back and stood up and cheered with everyone.
"Son, you did it, Mom and Dad are proud of you, and we will always love you." Facing the camera, Liu Liqun had tears in her eyes and confessed affectionately to her son. Liu Liqun said that she wanted to have a good video with her son when she went back tonight, and she didn't dare to video for fear of disturbing her son during the game, so she only sent a message of encouragement before the child went on the field.

"Gymnastics is what he loves the most, so he's going to fight for it."
Since 2012, when 14-year-old Zou Jingyuan was selected for the Chinese national gymnastics team, he has been in Beijing all year round. Liu Liqun said that Zou Jingyuan loves hot pot the most, and she usually makes some spicy beef, spicy rabbit and other Sichuan flavors for her son to send to relieve his hunger, and Zou Jingyuan has not eaten at home for a long time. "Come back this time to stew some soup for him, he looks so thin." Liu Liqun said distressedly. In the past three years of preparation for the Paris Olympics, Zou Jingyuan has rarely seen his family, Liu Liqun has only seen her son during the Zhaoqing competition and the Chinese New Year this year, and whenever her son feels stressed, she will talk to his father to solve the problem, and she is mainly concerned about some things in the child's life.
Seeing the live broadcast of the finals, Zou Jingyuan stepped off the stage and immediately put an ice pack on his right shoulder, Liu Liqun was worried, and then sent a WeChat message to his son, asking him to take a good rest and treat his shoulder injury well. Seeing her son go all the way and successfully defend the championship, Liu Liqun felt that her son was more calm and calm about the competition, "Gymnastics is his favorite career, so he will fight." ”

The pursuit of perfection achieves Zou Jingyuan's "parallel bars king"
Sitting in the lecture hall to witness the moment of winning the gold together, there is also Cao Zhiguo, Zou Jingyuan's coach when he was in the Sichuan gymnastics team. "The position, quality, and specifications of each action of Zou Jingyuan in the final are of the highest quality today, which can be said to be a 'textbook-level' action, so that the referee cannot find a deduction point, which is the reason why he can get a high score." Talking about Zou Jingyuan's performance in the final, Cao Zhiguo said affirmatively.

Recalling the days when he once coached Zou Jingyuan, Cao Zhiguo felt that "self-discipline" was the quality that impressed him the most, "He was only seven years old at the time, and young athletes would be more likely to be lazy, but he did not have this problem. And his quality is outstanding, and when I took him, he didn't practice the moves of this year's competition, but the next year's competition. Cao Zhiguo said that Zou Jingyuan has very high requirements for himself, and he will feel that it is a kind of criticism when the coach teaches the essentials of the movement normally, and he is an athlete with strong self-esteem and competitiveness, and he is very pursuing perfection. This may be one of the reasons why Zou Jingyuan was able to complete the "textbook level" action.
"Today, Zou Jingyuan used his strength and self-discipline to show everyone the results of his training over the years. His current coach Teng Haibin is also an Olympic champion in 2004, which is a kind of relay and inheritance, and I hope that our young team members can continue the spirit of Chinese gymnastics. Feng Zhe, a former member of the Chinese national gymnastics team, Olympic champion and director of the Gymnastics Management Center of Sichuan Sports Vocational and Technical College, said.
