Growth experience
[Edit this paragraph]
Long Qingquan has been active and fond of sports since he was a child. He was selected to study at the Longshan County Sports School at a very young age. In 1999, when Long Qingquan was 9 years old, he was spotted by Gan Zhiyue, the coach of Xiangxi Prefecture Sports School, and entered the weightlifting hall of Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture Sports School. At the 9th Hunan Provincial Games in 2002, Xiao Qingquan won the 38kg championship in Men’s Group C; at the 10th Provincial Games in 2006, he won the 52kg championship in Men’s Group B with outstanding results.
In 2006, after seven years of weightlifting training in the state sports school weightlifting team, 16-year-old Long Qingquan successfully entered the Hunan Provincial Team. Not long after he joined the provincial team, when he participated in the Sixth National Urban Games at the end of October 2007, he was restrained by ideological baggage, which resulted in three failed snatch attempts and early withdrawal from the competition for the men's 56kg championship. After the game, Xiao Qingquan was not discouraged, but re-summarized the game. The coach also continued to comfort and encourage him, allowing him to get rid of his mental baggage.
On April 20, the 2008 National Men's Weightlifting Championships and Beijing Olympic Trials were held in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. In the 56kg final of the Men's Weightlifting Championships and Olympic Trials, Long Qingquan unexpectedly defeated the most popular Guangxi star Li for the championship, giving the Chinese weightlifting team another point of confidence in striving for the gold medal in this event at the Beijing Olympics. Now Long Qingquan is training with the national team, and a future Olympic star is rising.

Pre-match status
[Edit this paragraph]
Singing a low profile before the match
Has been training in closed training at the Training Bureau of the State Sports General Administration The Chinese weightlifting team did not come to the Beihang Gymnasium for training until they moved into the Olympic Village. However, the Chinese team did not deliberately increase the intensity, but paid close attention to the details of the movements. After all, the coach knew the absolute strength of the players.
For Long Qingquan, the men's team head coach Chen Wenbin was not overly optimistic. He even said in a low-key voice, "Long Qingquan does not have enough strength to win the championship in this event." Chen Wenbin believes that in the men's 56kg category, North Korea's Cha Jinzhe, Vietnam's Huang Yingjun and Indonesians Yi Lawan and Long Qingquan do not have obvious advantages compared with them. Everything depends on on-the-spot performance. . Among the three opponents mentioned by Chen Wenbin, Cha Jinzhe is a stable athlete with rich experience in competitions and a high success rate in trial lifts. Vietnam's Huang Yingjun has amazing explosive power, but his performance is not stable enough. Yi Lawanze and Long Qingquan, who were born in 1989, are also full of energy.
"No experience" may be an advantage
When it comes to on-the-spot performance, it is easy to think of the issue of competition experience. There is no doubt that Long Qingquan will suffer a lot in this regard. few. But in fact, Long Qingquan on the court is a relatively "self-centered" type. Especially when he doesn't know much about his opponent, the strategy of focusing on me is likely to help Long Qingquan perform normally or even perform beyond normal performance. On the other hand, as a newcomer, Long Qingquan is also a mystery to his opponents. At least in terms of "popularity", Long Qingquan has the qualifications of a dark horse - hiding in the dark.
Judging from Long Qingquan’s registration results, the 290 kg result ranked second among all players, second only to Vietnam’s Huang Anh Tuan.
However, it remains to be verified whether the opponent's registration results are close to the real level. On the one hand, I am not blindly optimistic about Long Qingquan winning the championship. On the other hand, Chen Wenbin recently made a bold estimate, "I think the level of the main opponents will not exceed 290 kilograms." Does this mean that if Long Qingquan can exert his inherent strength and lift 290 kilograms, he is expected to win this gold medal? People may wish to wait for the suspense announcement on the evening of the 10th.
Winning guesses
[Edit this paragraph]
The release of the weightlifting team's Olympic roster was the most watched among the Chinese teams in the past few days. China's weightlifting team is a major gold medalist. The unexpected loss of a famous star and the several changes of personnel at the last moment of the battle for the first gold medal in the Olympic Games seem to be full of suspense and drama before the Olympic Games begins. Generally speaking, everyone's attention is focused on one level for men and women. 69kg and 48kg. However, there is a surprise that no one pays much attention to. This kid, who was selected for the national training team for the first time, relied on his own strength to defeat Li Zheng, who had been highly optimistic about the outside world, just 3 months later. As a result, he became the first Chinese man to represent his country at the Beihang University Weightlifting Hall. On this day, Long Qingquan was only 18 years old.
Xiaolong is the youngest in the team, and he loves to laugh the most, so even Liao Hui, who is usually silent, can't help but tease him when he sees him. Liao Hui once said: "Others are older than me, but he is younger, so I can only "bully" him." At this time, Xiaolong just smiled, and then made a "protest" with his hands as if wiping tears. The youngest athlete in the team has become the little brother that everyone cares about.
But Xiaolong has big ambitions. "Pick up the world, lift up the future" is the 17-year-old's QQ signature. This signature has not changed since before and after he was selected for the Olympic roster. Xiaolong, who usually trains, is nothing like him off the court. He is serious and meticulous in completing the tasks assigned by the coach and lifting every required weight above his head. This kind of contrast between different people is reflected in the body of a child. Coach Hu, who is in charge of Long Qingquan, once said, "You see this kid every day, and he is making progress." From defeating Li Zheng with his weight advantage in April to competing in the Olympics with his total strength in August, 100 in 4 months Over the past few days, Xiaolong's progress has made the weightlifting team feel the child's ability and potential.
As for his inner experience of participating in the Olympics under the age of 18, Xiaolong’s two-sided personality was revealed again. "When I'm training, I don't think too much about the Olympics and winning the gold medal. Because I want to train with peace of mind. But after training, sometimes I'm lying in bed and suddenly think that I can participate in the Beijing Olympics, and I'm still very excited. . ”
Long Qingquan, the man who calls himself Xiaolong, knows in his heart that at the Beijing Olympics, he wants everyone to see that although this is a small dragon, it is a real dragon.
Olympic Champion
[Edit this paragraph]
On August 10, Beijing time, the men’s 56kg competition in the Beijing Olympic Weightlifting Competition ended at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Gymnasium , my country's 18-year-old Long Qingquan lived up to expectations and won the sixth gold medal for the Chinese Legion. This was also the first gold medal in a men's weightlifting competition.
Judging from the registration results before the competition, Long Qingquan snatched 125kg, clean and jerked 155kg, with a total weight of 280kg, and has a certain gold medal potential. The first half of the snatch competition was particularly fierce. With the appearance of Yang Jingyi from Chinese Taipei, the competition between the masters officially began. Yang Jingyi, Indonesian player Irawan and Chinese teenager Long Qingquan all started with a weight of 125kg, and all three of them also successfully completed this weight. Huang Yingjun from Vietnam also easily passed the first lift of 126kg. The last North Korean player Cha Jinzhe lowered the starting weight by 2kg to 128kg, but failed to lift the barbell above his head in the first try.
Long Qingquan, Irawan and Huang Yingjun all chose 130kg for the second trial, but neither of the two foreign athletes could complete this weight. Only Long Qingquan successfully lifted the barbell. There was a roar of cheers.
North Korean Cha Jinzhe had failed to lift twice before, and his final snatch score was 128kg. Therefore, only Long Qingquan could increase the weight in the third trial. He successfully lifted the 132kg barbell, temporarily ranking first in the snatch. This result also broke the world youth record held by Chinese player Li Zheng.
After the snatch competition, because Long Qingquan weighed the lightest among all the contestants, other opponents had to increase the weight of the opening to compete with the Chinese teenager. Among the athletes who are capable of competing for gold medals in the clean and jerk, Yang Jingyi from Chinese Taipei was the first to compete. He successfully completed 154kg. Next, Long Qingquan came on the stage with a confident smile. He confidently lifted the 155kg barbell without any protective gear. Vietnam’s Huang Anh Tuan then also lifted a weight of 155kg. Indonesia's Irawan took the field, but his clean and jerk was obviously not as strong as the snatch. The final score of three attempts was 158kg, with a total score of 288kg, which also broke the world youth record set by Zhang Xiangxiang. Long Qingquan completed 160kg in his second trial, and the total weight reached 292kg. The record just set by the Indonesians has been refreshed again.
The entire final situation was extremely favorable to Long Qingquan. Chinese Taipei Yang Jingyi failed to complete the weight in the third lift. Before the third attempt, Long Qingquan had actually blocked the gold medal in his bag. After that, although another Vietnamese and Cuban athlete successfully tried the lift, they could no longer pose any threat to Long Qingquan.
It is also worth mentioning that the young player Long Qingquan is still under the age of 18. He has achieved such impressive results in his first Olympic Games. This young man will have a limitless future.
