Shen Jun:

Unforgettable “Master-Apprentice Rivalry” in the Early Stage of Entrepreneurship

Coach, do you remember?When I played in the preliminaries before the Eighth National Games, I only got ninth place. For three or four months until the finals, you trained like crazy. Especially once when I was practicing kettlebells, the blood on my hands kept falling. You still I was very anxious when I was asked to practice. I said: “I am a human being, not a machine!” Just tell me that you must finish it now, even if you can’t practice it, you have to finish it! You coaxed me and educated me, and finally I finished it. Now I understand Coach, I really won the championship in the finals of the Eighth National Games. When I came down, I ran over and hugged you, “Coach, we finally completed the task!”

Listening to Shen Jun’s memories, Wu Weifeng and Zhao Zhishan in the live broadcast room seemed to have returned to 27 years ago. Wu Weifeng said that Shen Jun was a stubborn little girl back then. I still remember the time she talked about. At that time, I She said that we are competing today and you can’t eat until you finish. That training lasted until 2:00 in the afternoon. I didn’t eat either and just stared at her at the training ground. After practicing, I quickly ran to the back to make a bowl of noodles for her, threw a few eggs in, and she cried while holding the noodles. During the days when Tianjin Judo started its business, we “grinded” it step by step in this way.

Shi Junjie:

If the coach doesn’t give up, I won’t give up

Coach, do you remember?When I first joined the team, the first thing you said to me in the small garden was that you wanted to win the world championship in the future. Then, under the guidance of you and Coach Zhao, I have been working hard towards this goal.

Listening to the familiar voice, Wu Weifeng and Zhao Zhishan said in unison: “It’s Xiaojie! Shi Junjie.” So, has the wish of “becoming a champion” made by the master and apprentice in the small garden come true? Zhao Zhishan said with a smile that it was realized. Shi Junjie was very thin when he first joined the team. He practiced on the team for 9 years before he won the first national championship. Now she often says that she has to thank her coach for not giving up on her. Although Xiaojie was a late bloomer, the championships she won were all “hard”. The most unforgettable one was defeating Olympic champion Xian Dongmei to win the championship in the 2005 Tenth National Games final. , she also won the World Championships, French Open, Asian Championships and so on.

Tong Wen:

Start training right after you leave the hospital after surgery. How do you become an Olympic champion?

Coach, do you remember?In 2003, I had to undergo surgery due to injuries. At that time, you encouraged me that we gave up the 2004 Athens Olympics and it would be more glorious to win the championship in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Then on January 4, 2004, I was discharged from the hospital. I was very excited at the time, “Wu Lian, I’m discharged! You said, yes, we are all facing a new day. We will start exercising when we get up tomorrow morning!” I was dumbfounded at the time. I said my leg was still splinted and the stitches had not been removed. You said it didn’t matter and let your teammates support you.” Then every morning when I got up, my teammates helped me go up and down the stairs, and I started to practice strength. In fact, during the days when my leg was injured, I improved the basic strength of my entire body by a large amount. When the 2008 Beijing Olympics came to an end, you asked me, do you think it was worth it? I said it was worth it. In fact, I know that in that sentence you were not only asking me, but also asking myself that after so many years of hard work, my dream finally came true at that moment.

Listening to Tong Wen’s memories, Wu Weifeng and Zhao Zhishan in the live broadcast room looked at each other and smiled, “Tong Wen, when we first met her, she was different from ordinary team members. From the look in her eyes, from the way she communicated with me Suddenly, we felt that this child will become a great player in the future. This may be the coach’s sixth sense.” And every time she trains, she is also the most able to endure hardships. No matter how much you give her, she can practice. We pay attention to her like looking at a very good seedling. She needs to be cared for and has strict requirements. She was a little inexperienced when she participated in the World Championships for the first time, but she also won third place. I still criticized her after the game. I told her that third place may be called a success to others, but to you it is a failure. , you are born for gold medals! Tong Wen is not only an Olympic champion and a world champion, but also the female athlete selected by the International Flexible Federation to have won the most “one” in half a century from 1964 to 2014.

Chen Fei:

“The Tianjin team cannot live without medals!”

Coach, do you remember?In an international competition, the Chinese team did not win a medal in the past few days. I was competing on the last day, and when we were competing for third place in a crucial event, you held my hand tightly and said to me, ” The Tianjin team cannot be without medals, otherwise how can we have the honor to go back?” Your words touched me deeply. During the game, I won my opponent within a minute of entering the competition. I feel that not only are we moved by you, but you have also been moving us.

Hearing Chen Fei’s memories, Wu Weifeng was deeply touched. Over the years, we have set a goal for ourselves. Our Tianjin Judo must become a leading team. Sports must bring a spirit of facing difficulties, daring to fight, Always striving for first place, this is also the spirit of Tianjin Women’s Volleyball Team. We want to add glory to this city, and every team member also feels that I must practice to the best of my ability, and when I go, I must win medals!

Li Ruihao:

Men’s judo tops national competition, Tianjin judo develops in an all-round way

Coach, do you remember?In the championship in the first half of last year, I won the championship at the last moment. I waved to you on the stage. I was very excited at the time, especially when I hugged you after I got off the stage. I felt that all the hard work before had been paid for!

Wu Weifeng blurted out in the live broadcast room, “This is the second child! We have a pair of twin brothers in our team, Li Ruixuan and Li Ruihao, this is Li Ruihao.” Tianjin Menrou started from several male sparring partners of the women’s team. Yes, starting from Zhang Jun’s first gold medal, our results have been getting better and better. In last year’s National Men’s Judo Championships, Li Ruihao won the championship in the 100kg and above category, and his twin brother Li Ruixuan also won the championship in this level. 5th place. Now male softball and female softball train together to achieve balanced development.

Jia Chundi:

Coach, take me to the Olympics!

Coach, do you remember?The moment I stepped off the championship podium at the Universiade last year, I cheered for you, and then you hugged me below and asked me if it was great to win the championship this time? I said great. From that moment on, I felt that winning the championship was a great feeling, and I became even more committed to this goal. I will train hard and win the Olympic championship!

Wu Weifeng said with a smile that during the Chengdu Universiade last year, three days before the start of the judo event, the Chinese team did not win a medal. We also went to the stadium at that time and directed Jia Chundi’s finals from the stands. As soon as she entered the stadium, she first looked at us. As we looked over, our eyes met, and we felt that her momentum suddenly rose, she came on the stage with her head held high, and then quickly solved the “battle”, and she won! I remember that when the awards were given that day, the on-site broadcast was also very excited, announcing loudly: The winner of the gold medal is Jia Chundi, China! The audience immediately became excited. Athletes like Jia Chundi are also the future of our Tianjin Judo.

Today, Tianjin Judo, which has been in the team for 30 years, has embarked on a “second entrepreneurship”. Wu Weifeng said that we cannot “lay flat” on our credit book. China Judo and Tianjin Judo still need us. After taking up a leadership position, after completing her daily work, she still couldn’t let go of the training of the judo team. She spent all her spare time on the training of the team. Together with Zhao Zhishan, the head coach, she spontaneously devoted herself to the training of the judo team. During the high-intensity work, he once again took root in grassroots training in order to cultivate more “Tong Wen” to inject strength into the trough of Chinese Judo and make new contributions to Tianjin Sports.
