Recently, the Paris Olympics are in full swing. Cao Yuan, as the "veteran of the Four Dynasties", went out again this time and pointed at Paris. Now 29 years old, he is still fighting on the field, and his perseverance and perseverance have become a role model for countless young athletes.
The diving veteran, despite being nearly 30 years old, still doesn't have a girlfriend. What is even more admirable is that he has experienced family changes in the divorce of his parents since he was a child, but he can still walk with his head held high.
Cao Yuan was born in an ordinary family in Changsha, and his childhood was not as ordinary and carefree as that of other children, because his parents divorced due to emotional discord shortly after he was born.
What made him even more unacceptable was that his father took the initiative to give up his custody. In this way, Cao Yuan can only rely on his mother for his life. The woman is weak, but the mother is strong, and in order to support the family, his mother has to go out to work.
Therefore, his mother had to send him back to his hometown to be taken care of by his grandparents, and Cao Yuan also became a left-behind child. When he grew up, he asked his grandmother countless times, why did his father leave his mother, and why did his father refuse to recognize him as a son?
Fortunately, my grandparents loved this grandson very much, although the living conditions were not very rich, but they were reluctant to let Cao Yuan suffer at all. Cao Yuan also grew up under the care of his grandparents, and he returned to his mother after he was two years old.
Cao Yuan's mother wanted him to be able to make achievements in sports, so she also considered enrolling him in basketball, football, table tennis and other interest classes. But none of this seems to impress him, and without interest, he will have no motivation.
However, fate seems to have other arrangements for Cao Yuan, and by chance he came into contact with diving. Cao Yuan has been well versed in water since he was a child, and when he heard that diving could also be used as a profession, he asked his mother to enroll him in class.
Cao Yuan's mother had never seen her son so obsessed with something, and although he didn't know much about diving, she still enrolled him in a training class according to his son's wishes.
The most important thing in sports is talent, although follow-up efforts are still important, but talent is also an indispensable condition for an athlete's success, which determines the upper limit of performance.
Cao Yuan showed his talent beyond ordinary people after joining the special training class, he was very bold, and he was always the first to show when other children were afraid to jump.
Not only that, Cao Yuan's physical flexibility is also extremely good, which is like a tiger for him to practice difficult movements. Cao Yuan was always the first to master the essentials of movement and learn it, and he stood out from a group of players with his outstanding talent.
Coach Peng Yuanchun had a discerning eye, and he quickly discovered Cao Yuan's potential in diving. He has high hopes for Cao Yuan, and he believes that in time, the youngster will be able to shine on the world stage.
In 2003, Cao Yuan won the dust in a selection competition and successfully entered the Beijing diving team. Strength is the best hole card in competitive sports, although Cao Yuan joined the team late, his strength and talent in diving cannot be ignored.
In 2008, he joined the national diving team and officially became a diver. Cao Yuan was not inferior to many outstanding divers, and he began to represent China in various international competitions, and gradually made a name for himself in the sports circle.
Cao Yuan's performances in the men's double 10m and 3m platform were outstanding, and he also showed his strength at the Olympics. He won gold medals in men's diving in London, Rio and Tokyo.
Cao Yuan not only won glory for the country at the Olympics, but he was also unstoppable at the World Championships. At the 2024 World Championships in Doha, he failed to win the gold medal, but he still performed well. After all, there are talents from generation to generation, and diving must always be passed down from generation to generation.
Athletes have a very short flowering period, and many athletes retire by the age of 30. As a veteran of the Four Dynasties, Cao Yuan has been fighting for the country for 20 years, and it is time for him to enjoy his life.
However, Cao Yuan is nearly thirty years old but has never had a girlfriend. There were many fans jokingly saying that they wanted to help him go on a blind date, but Cao Yuan just smiled and said: "Look at fate".
As for why Cao Yuan has no object so far, the answer can also be explored from several aspects.
For Cao Yuan, the biggest impact is his original family, because he has lived in a loveless family environment since he was a child, so Cao Yuan is very afraid of love.
He doesn't have the confidence that he can manage a relationship well, and he doesn't want to suffer from gains and losses because of one person. Lao She once said that general love only appears in the homes of the rich and noble, and ordinary people will weigh the pros and cons when facing feelings.
And Cao Yuan just confirms this statement, the divorce of his parents in childhood brought him a huge blow, causing him to look forward to and fear his feelings now.
Cao Yuan can become a top diver, in addition to talent, it is also inseparable from the accumulation of diligent practice. Cao Yuan said that there are 365 days in a year, and he can only rest on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
His life is full of training and competitions, which is enough to make him incompetent, how can he have the energy to take care of his feelings?
In terms of national honor and personal life, he resolutely chose the former, Cao Yuan believes that as long as he is in office for one day, he should dedicate all his energy to every minute and every second to win glory for the country.
Cao Yuan is the only child in the family, and his mother naturally hopes to see her son start a family as soon as possible. In another year, Cao Yuan will enter the year of establishment, and at this age, he already has both children among ordinary people.
Cao Yuan's mother was also very anxious about this, and she even arranged several blind dates for her son. Although Cao Yuan was very resistant to the blind date, he didn't want to disobey his mother's wishes, so he had to go hard.
However, there has not been much progress after a few blind dates, and Cao Yuan only feels that he has nothing to say about those girls.
Cao Yuan's understanding of love is a kind of throbbing, and it should fall at the first sight of the other party. Compared with the long-term love, he feels that true love should be like lightning. But to this day, he still hasn't been able to meet the girl who can make him impulsive, Cao Yuan's character is precisely to prefer lack to excess, so he would rather continue to wait than settle.
Cao Yuan is now the absolute main force of the Chinese diving team, although it is not as topical as a star, his private life will still be discussed by some audiences.
Cao Yuan doesn't want his future relationship to be exposed to the public's attention, so he also said that he may find a partner after retiring.
Conclusion: Cao Yuan has been fighting for diving for more than 20 years, and this may be the last Olympic Games he will participate in. I wish Cao Yuan can find the person he is in love with as soon as possible, and he can live a safe and smooth life in the future.
