It is precisely because of this agreement that the reporter called Zhan Xugang "cruel" when he knew that he was in a bad mood recently. Although Zhan Xugang's voice was a little tired on the phone, he was ready for an interview.
There is no regret in retiring completely.
From the tears of joy in Atlanta Olympic Games, to the tears of ecstasy in Sydney Olympic Games, and then to the tears in Athens, the curtain call of heroes made everyone feel lost.
In Beijing before the game, he lifted 165 kg with one hand; However, in the Nikaya Weightlifting Gymnasium in Athens, he failed three times in a row when faced with 157.5kg-two-time Olympic champion Zhan Xugang ended his "three consecutive championships" journey. This time, he chose never to look back …
Our topic naturally starts from the just-concluded Olympic Games. Loss is an unchangeable fact. Zhan Xugang obviously doesn't want to talk about it. For many of my questions, he just responded with laughter and silence. Only when talking about future plans, Zhan Xugang obviously came to the spirit.
Before choosing to come back, Zhan Xugang was the deputy captain of the second sports team in Zhejiang Province. Now he can take up his post immediately, because the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Bureau has always reserved this position for him. The director of Zhejiang Sports Bureau once went to Athens because of Zhan Xugang, and invited Zhan Xugang to eat outside the Olympic Village on the 20th, saying that he would "crush him!" Zhan Xugang is very grateful for this, and he is going to hand over all the next time to the sports cause in Zhejiang Province.
This time, Zhan Xugang is ready to bid farewell to his sports career completely. Although he was defeated in the third battle that hit the Olympic gold medal, Zhan Xugang had no regrets because of his efforts. "I finally ended a wish. I have participated in three Olympic Games, and the first two were champions. I didn't get it this time, but I have no regrets. " Zhan Xugang said emotionally: "I have dedicated my life to weightlifting, so even if I didn't win the gold medal for the last time, I am very happy." Now I have decided to retire. I am still the vice captain of the Zhejiang sports team. I will run for sports in Zhejiang in the future and will never leave sports in my life. "
Appreciate the girlfriend's wedding ceremony to be determined.
Zhan Xugang's girlfriend Jian Yao is a flight attendant. They have been in love for six years. After the defeat in Athens, he immediately called his girlfriend to discuss the wedding date. Zhan Xugang said with a smile on the phone: "Girls can't afford it. The point is that the two old people can't wait. She's really grounded this time. I'm really retiring. We don't choose to combine at this time, so when will we wait? "
In the last Olympic Games, I temporarily modified the route and rushed to Sydney to witness my fiance's glory in the Olympic Games. But this time, Jian Yao couldn't get to Athens for various reasons, but the first time after the game, Jian Yao dialed Zhan Xugang's mobile phone in Athens, because she knew that what heroes needed most after the defeat was gentle comfort, which Zhan Xugang naturally knew.
As for the specific date of marriage, Zhan Xugang said that he is still considering it, but it will certainly not be too far away. On the phone, Zhan Xugang said with a smile, "I'll let you know then. Remember to come to the wedding banquet when you are free. "
Whether you win or lose, you are a hero.
Before attending the Olympic Games, Zhan Xugang sent a doctor from Zhejiang Province to Beijing to treat his injury. Years of weightlifting exercise made Zhan Xugang ill. Since lifting weights, his waist has been stitched more than 30 times. After coming back, with the gradual increase of training volume, knee strain is becoming more and more serious. After training every day, Zhan Xugang should put ice on his knee, otherwise the pain of a lot of water in his knee will make him unbearable. But now when he mentioned all this again, Zhan Xugang just laughed it off as if nothing had happened.
In fact, Zhan Xugang had many opportunities for him to choose to retire completely before, but he always encouraged himself to move forward. This heartfelt motive is beyond his understanding. After the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Zhan Xugang chose to retire, but made a comeback at the 2002 National Games. Four years later, he stood on the Olympic Games again, but this time, he didn't wait for the result he wanted. Zhan Xugang lamented: "How tempting it is to win three consecutive Olympic titles. Most people dare not think about it. I have this opportunity, of course I have to work hard. Life may be like this, there are always so many people who can't realize their dreams. Now I understand that people can't be perfect everywhere in this life, and shortcomings will make the memory of life fuller. "
For the so-called success and failure, Zhan Xugang has been reluctant to think about it. It doesn't matter to him whether he won the gold medal or failed. He wants to start his new life. Zhan Xugang said: "No matter success or failure, I will be a hero. I have the ups and downs of being an athlete, so it will be easier to do other jobs. Whether success or failure is experience, I have withstood such a big event in the Olympic Games, and I hope I can do well in other industries. "
