The rio Olympic women's doubles lineup has been settled, and finally due to Yang / Tang Yuanwei and Luo Ying / Luo Yu to enter the Olympics. In the competition of the Rio cycle, there is such a person, she has won the world championship twice, and she has also suffered a ban at the London Olympics, because of an unspeakable successful operation, she finally chose to give up her Olympic dream, but after quitting the life of the badminton, she ushered in a happier and better life as the lady of the inn - she is Wang Xiaoli, a legendary and great heroine.
1. Young and famous, with dreams in your heart
Unlike Zhao Yunlei's late mastery, Wang Xiaoli became famous as early as his youth. During the provincial team period, Wang Xiaoli achieved good results in the women's singles event, but in a key national team selection competition, he lost to Wang Yihan from Shanghai, and finally could only enter the national team with the women's doubles event. After joining the national team, she teamed up with Ma Jin to win the women's doubles title at the 2006 World Youth Championships. Although at that time, the Chinese women's doubles was still dominated by Yang Wei, Zhang Jiewen, Gao Kun, Huang Sui and other predecessors, but they had formed a shock that could not be ignored, in Wang Xiaoli's heart, the Olympic champion was already the dream that was far away but incomparably clear.
2. Debut in the world, the young general debuted
After the Beijing Olympic Games, veterans have retired, Cheng Shu / Zhao Yunlei, Ma Jin / Wang Xiaoli and other young generals have also turned from behind the scenes to the front line, and Wang Xiaoli, who is ready to go, has finally waited for a blockbuster opportunity. Wang Xiaoli and Ma Jin also lived up to expectations, before the 2009 World Championships in Hyderabad, they overwhelmed the more senior Cheng Shu and Pan Pan through their good team competition performance, and were able to participate in the first World Championship of their careers, although they regretted that they lost to Cheng Shu and Zhao Yunlei in the semi-finals, but for the young Wang Xiaoli, this was already a good start. At the end of 2009, Ma Jin and Wang Xiaoli continued to break out, winning consecutive super championships, ushering in the first outbreak of their careers, and their world rankings quickly climbed to the world's first, becoming the youngest of the four Chinese women's doubles in the world's first women's doubles.
3. Kuala Lumpur drink hate, world championships respectively
At the 2010 Uber Cup, Ma Jin and Wang Xiaoli were the first pair of Chinese women's groups. For Wang Xiaoli, this is an unprecedented glory, but it is also an unprecedented pressure. In the final, they faced The Beijing Olympic mixed doubles champion Li Xiaozhen, the seasoned Li Xiaozhen completely controlled the rhythm of the field with excellent performance, while Ma Jin and Wang Xiaoli could not find their best state, and finally lost 1-2 to the opponent, and the Chinese team also lost to South Korea in this game, accidentally losing the cup. After the You Cup, Wang Xiaoli also experienced a very sad period of time, and the first time she played the You Cup pair, she ended up losing, which also cast a deep psychological shadow on her. Before the World Championships, the coaching team finally made a final announcement to Wang Xiaoli, and the pair of Ma Jin and Wang Xiaoli, who had cooperated for many years, announced the dissolution of the team, and the World Championships would be their final final battle. In the final World Championships, they reached the final, but finally lost to Du Jing/Yu Yang, and bid a tearful farewell with a silver medal.
4. The Big Mac is alive and the Olympics are frustrated
After breaking up with Ma Jin, Wang Xiaoli began to partner with Yu Yang, and their combination attacked fiercely, known for speed and strength, and strong oppression. Starting from their combination, in 2011, Wang Xiaoli won an amazing unbeaten record in the outer station, won the championship of 10 super tournaments, and realized the dream of the World Championships, reaching the top for the first time at the World Championships, and their combination was called "Big Mac" by the outside world, except for their teammates, they would not lose to any opponent. At the London Olympics, they were the biggest hits, but due to the storm of match-fixing, Wang Xiaoli suffered the biggest blow of her career and ended her Olympic journey by being expelled from the Olympic Village and banned. She has also been sad, she has also been desperate, but in the end, she chose to continue to persevere, she still wants to fight for her Olympic dream, no matter what the result is, she has no regrets.
5. Contrary to wishes, retired
In the Rio Olympic cycle, her strength is still outstanding, but her partner with Yu Yang can no longer be as strong as before. The coaching team has also changed partners for Wang Xiaoli many times, including trying Zhao Yunlei and re-partnering Ma Jin, but the results are not satisfactory. In 2015, due to injury, Wang Xiaoli was forced to perform elbow joint cavity cleaning surgery after Su Cup, but after the operation, the recovery was not ideal, the heavy killing she relied on to become famous could not return to the previous level, at the Korean Open, her partner with Yu Yang ended up with a 4-21 score, and Yu Yang also publicly expressed his hope to team up with Tang Yuanwei. After the Korean Open, under the double blow of injury and fate, Wang Xiaoli chose to retire. Although the Olympics became an eternal regret in Wang Xiaoli's heart, she chose to accept it and learned to let go. After all, in addition to the badminton road, she has many choices in her life.
6. Conclusion - A Better Future
After retiring, Wang Xiaoli and her boyfriend began to run an inn in Lijiang, and she chose a future path that had nothing to do with badminton.
At the 2016 You Cup, Wang Xiaoli met us again as a commentator, and now she has retracted her domineering spirit on the field, but has a little more woman's gentleness and tenderness. She had let go of the attachment she had once had. This heroine who has fought for the national feather for many years and has experienced dangers and obstacles has finally got the happiness she wants, bless Wang Xiaoli, and you will be more beautiful in the days without badminton.
