After the transformation, the unknown Bao Xiao finally stood in front of us with a halo. Today, Sakazaki will talk to you about the legendary road of this veteran.

Badminton road
1983 In February, Bao Chunlai was born in an ordinary worker's family in Changsha.
199 1 year, Bao Chunlai is 8 years old. It happened that the badminton coach of Changsha Amateur Sports School came to the school to select young talents, and Bao Chunlai was selected.
1August, 994, Bao Chunlai entered Hunan badminton team for training.
1995, Bao Chunlai represented Changsha team in the 8th Hunan Sports Meeting and won the men's singles championship. In the same year, 10, Bao Chunlai officially entered the Hunan badminton team.
65438-0998, Bao Chunlai was selected for the National Youth Team.
From 65438 to 0999, Bao Chunlai was selected for the China Badminton Team.
In June 2000, Bao Chunlai won the men's singles championship in the 5th World Youth Championship and was selected for the first team of the national team.
In May 2004, Bao Chunlai represented China in the Thomas Cup, and China finally won the championship by beating Indonesia 3-0.
In May 2005, Bao Chunlai represented China in the 9th Sudirman Cup, and China finally won the championship by beating Indonesia 3-0.
In May 2006, Bao Chunlai represented China in the Thomas Cup, and China finally won the championship by beating the Danish team 3-0.
In June 2007, Bao Chunlai defeated Li Zongwei 2-0 in the China Badminton Super Tournament, ending three consecutive Asian Games and winning the China Championship for the first time.
In May 2008, Bao Chunlai represented China in the Thomas Cup, and China finally won the men's team championship by beating South Korea 3:/kloc-0:.
In April 2009, Bao Chunlai won the men's singles championship by beating Chen Long 2-/kloc-0.
20 10 in may, Bao Chunlai represented China in the Thomas cup, and China finally beat the indonesian team 3: 1 to win the men's team championship.
2011April, Bao Chunlai lost 2-0 to Dānlín in the Asian Badminton Championships and won the runner-up in men's singles.
2011May, Bao Chunlai won the Sudirman Cup badminton men's team championship with China, and China swept the Danish team 3-0 in the final.
On 2011September 2 1, Bao Chunlai announced his withdrawal from the World Badminton Federation.
"Outstanding talent, comprehensive skills, delicate sense of the ball and strong appreciation"-more than one person commented on Bao Chunlai's playing. He himself thinks that how to play the ball beautifully is worth pondering. When other teammates stand on the serve line and think about the next tactics, Bao Chunlai will struggle with how to make the infield serve just press on the center line. When more people desperately want to smash each other, he thinks: How can we make the ball smash just at the bottom line? "That's handsome and satisfying." In Bao Chunlai's logic, winning beauty is more important than winning.
Dānlín, who has a similar idea, once said that the pursuit of playing decorative ball even cost him many games, and his spike hit the net several times because of the requirement of landing point. In 2000, Bao Chunlai stood with him on the podium of the World Youth Championship, and Bao Chunlai was the champion. At that time, they were called "Gemini of China Badminton Team" by the media. In the open competition, they often defend the finals of each district, and both of them were eliminated early in the Athens Olympic Games.
Later, Bao Chunlai fell into the quagmire of "the second child in the Millennium", and Dānlín won the gold medal in the World Championships three times, so fate pulled out a gap between the two people who had a good relationship at the beginning of their debut. With the maturity of Li Zongwei's skills, the original striking battle between Lin Bao and Li has gradually turned into the battle between Lin Li, and even the tragic name of "the second child of the Millennium" has been taken away by Li Zongwei. Bao Chunlai lost the fight against the knee injury, falling from the second singles to the third singles of the national badminton team until he retired on 20 1 1.
"Coach Li Yongbo rated you as the best second singles in China. What do you think? "
"In my time, I was." Obviously with a sorry tone, it is the most appropriate summary of the 20-year badminton career.

Young and successful
When Hurriedly came out, Bao Chunlai couldn't wait to see it. For him who entered the sports school at the age of 8, the campus life in the movie is too far away. His "year in a hurry" was full of broken balls, cracked rackets, broken sneakers, and 65,438+00 bicycle tires worn out when his mother sent him to school.
Semi-militarized management of sports schools, adolescence restless want to go out, rules and regulations are placed, dare not go, can not go. Skip the provincial team training and go far away by car, just to watch the sunset outside. Caught by the coach and scolded. While being scolded, I remembered: hey, the scenery outside is like this. In retrospect, Bao Chunlai called it "blood", which belonged to him as a badminton player.
The provincial team is like an automobile factory, assembling parts and testing equipment for athletes and heading for the national team when they are ready. There used to be a checkpoint to prove whether the car was "qualified". Bao Chunlai's hurdles came when he was 17 years old-the 2000 World Youth Badminton Championship.
This is a competition described as "determining the world badminton men's singles pattern in the next decade". Three of the top four players stood at the top of the world badminton men's singles: Bao Chunlai, Dānlín and Li Zongwei. In the semi-final, the fourth seed Bao Chunlai defeated the top seed Dānlín and joined hands with Sony, who defeated Li Zongwei, to win the final.
In the aisle of the training hall of Tianhe Gymnasium in Guangzhou, there is still that yellowed old photo. Bao Chunlai in the middle has a bright smile like the morning sun, and on his right stands Dānlín, who is only 17 years old. At their feet is the podium of the 2000 World Youth Championship.
Many years later, Bao Chunlai stressed on more than one occasion that he has been trying to raise the national flag because he won the championship (there is no flag-raising link in badminton open, and raising the flag means winning the world championship). He didn't understand why many athletes on TV were moved to tears when watching the national flag rise, and wanted to experience it for himself. After chatting, he remembered that 17 already exists. But after all, the young and exciting moment is now blurred into a trance: yes, what was I thinking when I raised the national flag?
The World Youth Championship champion knocked on the door of the first national team, and Bao Chunlai was able to move out of the exclusive "basement" of the second national team and live upstairs. On the wall of the team, Taufik's periodic diagram of the state of motion is posted, which is full of words. It was written by a former teammate. He's gone. Pass it on. It's his turn. At that time, China's main rival was the Danish golden boy Peter Gade.
200 1 Danish Open, Bao Chunlai just finished 18 to participate in the international open for the first time. He and Dānlín belonged to the upper and lower parts, and finally joined forces in the final. He won the championship in Dānlín. Later, in major international competitions, Bao Chunlai's appearance sequence was always ahead of Dan Lin, and Bao Chunlai successfully moved from amateur sports school to the world stage. The outside world is generally optimistic about him. If this trend continues, he may become the next Peter Gade, the next Taufik … or, the first Bao Chunlai.
Fate took a turn in 2002.
