Ding meiyuan's character story

Ding meiyuan's warm family-father encouraged to win gold.

1979165438+1October 27th, ding meiyuan was born in Yaojia Village, Xingshu Street, Jinzhou District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. Yaojia Village is a small fishing village far from Administrative Street and facing the Yellow Sea. Although Xingshutun is located in a remote place, it is a famous hometown of track and field, which has trained and transported six world champions, including Xu Yongjiu and Dong Liu. When I was a child, ding meiyuan's distinctive features were thick legs and round arms. When he started running, he fell to the ground heavily. She has a strong nature and is the king of the children in the village. All the children like to play with her.

Ding meiyuan's alma mater, Xingshutun Street Central Primary School, is ten miles away from Dingwangtun. The narrow path twists and turns, and it makes people feel scared to walk in the morning and evening. Therefore, it was not until September 1988 that her parents sent her to school when she was 9 years old. Ding meiyuan loves learning. In primary school, she was a study committee member in her class.

12 years old, the school set up a weightlifting team, the coach is a weightlifter in Dalian Sports School. Only 17-year-old PE teacher Ji found that ding meiyuan was a good prospect and mobilized her to participate. Ding meiyuan couldn't make up his mind. It took a long time to spit out a sentence: "Let me go home and ask!"

"Practice weightlifting?" Mother Ding Hongyun resolutely opposed it. "Girls are still quiet. It's terrible to practice weightlifting. Besides, your ideal is to go to college. Don't blame me if you can't get into college because of training. "

However, Ding Changjiang, his father, believes that as long as he is properly trained, it will never affect the child's development. Later, Mr. Shi also went to work in person. In desperation, Ding Hongyun had to discuss with her daughter. Ding meiyuan nodded without thinking.

Since joining the weightlifting team, ding meiyuan arrives at school half an hour earlier than other students every day, and goes home 1 hour later than others after school. Because the school is too far from home, she is a little scared to walk alone, so her sister will accompany her to school and take her home, rain or shine.

Weightlifting is a bitter and monotonous sport. There are more than a dozen students who practice weightlifting with ding meiyuan, and most of them are too tired to quit. Ding meiyuan watched other friends quit one after another. She wanted to back down, but her father encouraged her: "Xiao Yuan, look at the world champions in our town. Which one doesn't bite his teeth?" Besides, if you give up halfway, you will be sorry for the way your sister accompanied you! "

1994, ding meiyuan, who was only 15 years old, participated in the weightlifting competition of Dalian Sports Meeting and won the "first gold medal" in his life.

Don't say anything to your mother.

When ding meiyuan went to the United Sports School, it was a difficult time for her family. Ding Jia owed a lot of money when he built a new house. Later, he just took a breath. My sister needs a lot of tuition to go to health school again. She has to earn at least 200 yuan in sports school for one month. Once, my mother really had no money and gave it to her 160 yuan. In fact, 200 yuan is the least, but she didn't say anything, just left with tears in her eyes.

Ding meiyuan is a sensible child. In order not to worry her parents, she always chooses the right words when she comes home. Whenever her mother asked her if she was bitter, she shook her head and said with a smile, "Mom, what can you achieve without suffering?" Nothing! "As for how to suffer, she didn't say anything. One day, two girls sat together and talked about their families. Ding Hongyun said, "Xiao Yuan, let me see your hand." Ding meiyuan face a red, dawdle hand in the past. Ding Hongyun grabbed it and spread out his palm. She saw that the calluses on her palm were like old bark. She couldn't help but have a sour nose and tears streaming down her face. Anyway, she doesn't want her to practice any more. Ding meiyuan bit his lip and refused.

My sister's good intentions are hidden in my heart

Training is increasing, starting from the lightest 44 kg class and increasing at a rate of about 5 kg per year. Ding meiyuan participated in almost all levels of women's weightlifting training, and finally got a place in the undifferentiated level. In this heavyweight, her weight is relatively light, only 103 kg, while her main rival Frenbel of Poland weighs as much as 120 kg. In order to win the gold medal, another task of ding meiyuan after training is to gain weight.

Girls in their twenties, who doesn't love being slim? For a time, ding meiyuan was particularly sad. Athletes of gymnastics team and swimming team lose weight under the supervision of coaches, and junior teammates of weightlifting team keep weight under the supervision of coaches, but she wants to gain weight. The most uncomfortable thing for her is not bitterness and fatigue, but eating five or six meals a day, and eating every meal well. No problem for a day or two, but I can't stand it after a long time.

Of course, ding meiyuan also understands that once the weight increases, it is not easy to lose it. Sometimes, ding meiyuan will secretly take out his photo album, look at his slim figure in the past, think about his bloated figure now, and can't help crying secretly, so he also tells his sister his troubles.

Ding meiyuan never wears makeup. Once, when she was on vacation at home, her sister suddenly had a whim when she was putting on makeup and wanted to help her change it. I stroked my eyebrows and put on lipstick. After I put on my makeup, my sister smiled and handed her the mirror. She jumped up and hugged her sister and shouted, "Sister, the makeup is really beautiful!" After a while, ding meiyuan consciously washed off her makeup with water.

On another occasion, my sister thought that ding meiyuan was wearing sportswear all day and had no decent clothes, so she specially picked out a beautiful dress for her in Dalian. Half a month later, ding meiyuan sent the dress back with a letter: "Sister, thank you for your concern. This dress suits me very well. It's beautiful. Please keep it for me until I retire. " Since ding meiyuan joined the provincial and national teams, he has been going home less and less. Every time she comes back, she will go to her hometown, chat with relatives and neighbors, and help feed pigs and collect corn at home. Before the Olympics, she went home for two days. Considering that she couldn't get used to sleeping on the kang, her parents specially made room for her, and specially laid more mattresses for her to have a good rest, but she still insisted on sleeping on the kang with her parents and said, "It's convenient to talk to her parents." Knowing that Grandpa loves beer, ding meiyuan moved back to a case of beer in the village grocery store. After she returned to Beijing, grandpa drank a bottle every night. At that time, in order to promote sales, the brewery printed a "bottle award" on some bottle caps. As a result, grandpa drank one bottle and 24 bottles in a box, all of which won the prize! He clapped his hands for joy: "Yuanyuan is blessed, and this Olympic Games will definitely win the championship!" " "This is really true.

On September 22nd, 2000, Beijing time 12, ding meiyuan broke the world record with snatch135kg and clean and jerk165kg. After the game, when interviewed by CCTV, ding meiyuan said with deep affection and pride, "I am a child of Dalian. I thank my parents and coaches for their support over the years. I can only repay them with today's results. "

Regarding the future, ding meiyuan said with deep affection: "Weightlifting competition is different from other events. Our competition is to compete with ourselves and constantly challenge the limits. Only by defeating yourself can you truly defeat your opponent! I hope to constantly refresh my record in the future world series and give the world one surprise after another! " Smart Sydney stayed up all night.

Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. Women's weightlifting was listed as an official event for the first time. China women are out in four categories, and ding meiyuan is the favourite to win gold in the category above 75kg. As the biggest competition, the competition in ding meiyuan was held after all the "teachers and sisters", and the women in China won three gold medals in a row. The sudden increase of pressure in ding meiyuan determines whether China women's weightlifting can successfully complete the task of Sydney Olympic Games.

The opponent must be Warren Bell, a "giant" who weighs 18kg more than ding meiyuan. Weight is obviously at a disadvantage. Ding meiyuan's coach tried his best to "fatten up" ding meiyuan, and every meal was held under the coach's watch. Eating less is absolutely impossible! At that time, ding meiyuan ate almost every meal very hard, but for the gold medal, she ate hard with tears in her eyes. "Tell me about the day before the start of the decisive battle. We finally meet. All the other players have finished practicing, leaving the two of us to start the game early. Players from other countries stood by and watched, and the scene was quite funny. " Ding meiyuan recalled the past and unconsciously flashed a smile in his eyes.

"On the day of the final, it is false to say that you are not nervous. But I suddenly realized that I was nervous, and Warren Bell must be nervous, so I suddenly relaxed. I have to fight like this anyway. " Ding meiyuan was calm and comfortable, and seemed to speak softly. But at that moment, how much attention did the people of China actually pay? That year, at ding meiyuan's home, her parents were afraid to watch the live broadcast on the screen. When relatives and reporters cheered, they came home in tears.

"I was really excited. I watched my opponent fail. Later, the coach gave me a mobile phone and asked me to call home. At that moment, I felt very relaxed because I was worthy of the coach, the leaders and teammates, my parents and relatives, and myself. " Ding meiyuan is immersed in the memories of the past, and he feels so happy with his efforts. "I thought I could sleep for a while. What I didn't expect was that I couldn't sleep in bed, but I felt really excited."

Dreams break the saddest memory of Athens

It seems that after winning the Sydney Olympic champion, ding meiyuan gradually faded out of people's sight. In fact, at the World Weightlifting Championships in 2003, she broke the world record twice and tied the world record of 1, with scores of137.5kg,162.5kg and 300kg respectively, including three gold medals in women's snatch, clean and jerk and total score-ding meiyuan should be said to be in motion at this time.

"In fact, at that time, my training and competition results far exceeded the level of the Sydney Olympic Games. It should be the best period of my sports career. I even finished the total score of 365,438+00 kg in training (exceeding the world record of 5 kg), but I didn't expect to strain the inner muscle of my right leg and finally missed the Athens Olympic Games for various reasons. Looking back, I really feel sad. Because at that time, the most hopeful thing was to stand on the Olympic Games again and win glory for the country, but in the end it failed. " This gray memory was a great blow to ding meiyuan, because Athens gave ding meiyuan the idea of retiring. In two years, she lost nearly 20 kilograms.

In 2005, ding meiyuan met a Korean girl who lost to Tang at the Athens Olympic Games in the East Asian Games. However, due to too many weight loss and injuries, it is reasonable for ding meiyuan to lose. After Zhang Meilan won the championship successfully, she gave up the third clean and jerk of 175kg-according to her performance in lifting 172.5kg in Athens, she may have this ability, which means that in the 2008 Olympic Games, Zhang Meilan will also be the biggest opponent of China Legion in women's weightlifting over 75kg.

Longing for Beijing to show its elegance again

"I have fewer apprentices, and it is still difficult for them to get out of the level at once." Ding meiyuan is now a member and coach of Liaoning women's weightlifting team. After missing Athens, she once pinned more hopes on the next generation of athletes, but she said with certainty that it is still difficult for these disciples to stand out at once in the Beijing Olympic Games, because it is not yet time for them to achieve real results. "This incident actually has certain regularity. Just like when we won the municipal championship, we are looking forward to winning the provincial championship later; Won the provincial championship, and then coveted the national championship; It was not until the national champion was won that we began to attack the world champion. My disciples are actually the same. They need to grow up step by step according to the law. "

Ding meiyuan recently made a low-key comeback, and at the age of 28, she returned to the weightlifting platform. While training hard, ding meiyuan has to face the torment of weight gain again, and all these efforts are for the Beijing Olympic Games one year later. "Maybe the Olympic Games is every athlete's dream. Although I won once, I am in my own country after all, and I am looking forward to it. " Ding meiyuan made no secret of his desire to win a gold medal at the Beijing Olympic Games: "Whether he can finally go to the Olympic Games depends on his usual performance. We all have personal points, which are calculated according to our achievements in the National Games, the World Championships and the World Cup. Whoever scores the highest score will be eligible to participate in the Olympic Games. " At present, ding meiyuan is sweating profusely. For her, missing Athens is already a kind of pain, and she really doesn't want to miss Beijing again.

Moreover, she is also very clear that the situation of women's weightlifting and China women's outstanding performance no longer exists, and there are many masters all over the world: "We must give ourselves an accurate positioning in order to know ourselves and strive to defeat our opponents." Ding meiyuan is now facing another situation: she wants to gain weight again, because that is a foundation for her to get better grades. As an outstanding representative of sports in China, ding meiyuan participated in the torch relay of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Torchbearer ding meiyuan holds the torch on July 9, 2008/KLOC-0. On the same day, the Beijing Olympic flame was passed in Dalian, Liaoning Province. She said: "Although I have left the Olympic Games, as a coach, I want to train more world champions for my country." As the torchbearer of the Dalian torch relay, ding meiyuan said, "I feel honored. Although I have been a torchbearer before, I am very happy to be a torchbearer in my hometown this time. I cherish this rare opportunity very much. "
