Grandpa explains the origin of "Yibing"

His grandfather, Chen Guocai, was good at many sports such as the 100-meter run, pole vaulting, and table tennis when he was young. He was often the "gold medal" winner at sports meets held by his former employer, the Municipal Housing Authority, and Yibing's father was even better. Not only is his skating skills superb, he is also close to becoming an acrobat. "Yi Bing's father won first place in the Tianjin amateur amateur speed skating competition that year, so he named his child 'Yi Bing'." Grandpa Chen revealed the origin of Chen Yibing's name to reporters.
Olympic champion loves to eat fried potatoes with spicy peppers
Grandma Chen said: “Originally, his grandfather and I planned to go to Beijing to watch my grandson compete, but we were afraid that the atmosphere would be too tense and we couldn’t bear it, so we Just stay at home and cheer for him!" Grandma Chen said. She was looking forward to her grandson going home for a few days after the Olympics. Grandpa Chen was more practical: "I was thinking about giving it to him when he comes back.

Difficult: The road to world championship
[Edit this paragraph]
22 years old, an age that can pinch water, and in the gymnastics world, 22 years old Chen Yibing, who has just emerged, is already considered a late bloomer. Competitive sports are so cruel. They only focus on strength and do not care about respecting the old or caring for the young. Groups of players are getting older, and groups of newcomers are emerging. They are younger, with better conditions, and more ambitious. General Administration of Training In the gymnastics training hall, the team members train hard day after day, year after year. Everyone's dream is to become a world champion. You can imagine the pressure you have to bear to persist until the age of 22 to win the world championship.
"From 1996 to 2000, I had no results for four years. These days, I was very anxious. What I was most afraid of at that time was that my relatives and friends would ask about my training and competition. , I didn’t know how to answer, and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a hole to crawl into." Chen Yibing said. From 1996 to 2000, it was the most difficult period in Chen Yibing's career. At that time, Chen Yibing had just entered the professional team and began to have competition tasks. However, what made Chen Yibing confused and painful was that he had no results at all. "That was the most painful time for me. It was that feeling, as if I suddenly had no goals. I couldn't see the purpose of my hard training every day. There was no meaning, no goals, and no confidence." Chen Yibing said.
Recalling that time, Chen Yibing was filled with emotion. "Practice gymnastics especially tempers your will. Especially when you are very young, you can withstand such tempering, which is something you cannot get by doing other things." Chen Yibing said. In 2001, he participated in the National Youth Championship for the last time. The gold medal in rings and the bronze medal in all-around helped him regain his long-lost self-confidence. At that time, he was 17 years old. Then he got an unexpected opportunity to join the national team, and a new chapter in his life opened.
Growth: Lonely Gymnastics Career
[Edit this paragraph]
"Your home is in Tianjin, you should be able to go home often, right?" From Beijing to In Tianjin, it only takes more than two hours by train.
"No. In fact, I haven't been home for 5 years since joining the national gymnastics team." Chen Yibing said lightly. Practicing gymnastics is very lonely, and this loneliness has contributed to Chen Yibing's maturity. On the court, 22-year-old Chen Yibing has a sophistication that belies his age.
If you go to the gymnastics hall of the General Training Administration and see how Chinese gymnasts train, it is not difficult to understand why there are so many world champions here. They train all day on Monday and Tuesday, half day on Wednesday, all day on Thursday, half day on Friday, all day on Saturday and half day on Sunday. There is no time to go home.
“Whenever you don’t want to practice anymore, you can go home.” Chen Yibing said with the determination unique to a gymnast.
"Every time during the Chinese New Year, I want to take leave and go home. But I only have one day off on the first day of the new year, so I never go back. But every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my parents come to visit me, and every year After the winter training is over and the new season begins, my parents will come to see me before I go out for the first game. "Chen Yibing said, "On other days, I will call if I need anything." Choosing to practice gymnastics means that I have to do it. Give up a lot of bits and pieces of happiness that ordinary people think are ordinary.
Life: A shy and introverted big boy
[Edit this paragraph]
Even his daily life is simple and boring. Apart from gymnastics, he has few hobbies. When he has time, he watches TV or reads and listens to music, and rarely goes out to play. The answer about hobbies is also quite typical among athletes: "I like to read some comic books and cartoons. I don't have a specific favorite song, I just like it if it sounds good."
Speaking of love, Chen Yibing He seemed extremely shy: "Not yet, gymnastics is the most important thing to me now." In the interview, Chen Yibing's introversion and shyness formed a clear contrast with his strong body.
The professional life of gymnasts is very short, which makes them have to cherish their short professional life. Love always seems very luxurious. After retiring, they all face the problem of a new way out, because their lives are still quite long. Speaking of future prospects, Chen Yibing is quite interested in the coaching profession. He thinks it is a challenge. "When I become a coach and encounter a disobedient player like me, I will subdue him." Chen Yibing said with a smile.
Olympic Games: Solid development towards all-round development
[Edit this paragraph]
"In 2008, I think it should be similar to the World Championships," Chen Yibing said confidently , "In more than a year, what I have to do is to protect myself, avoid injuries, and improve difficulty and stability."
Chen Yibing himself analyzed that he will definitely develop towards all-around development. , in addition to consolidating and increasing the difficulty in the rings and vault events, he will also increase the difficulty in the horizontal bars and parallel bars events, striving for all-round development and achieving a breakthrough in all-around. "Of course, all this requires more hard and solid training." Chen Yibing said.
Chen Yibing is called his successor by the ring king Dong Zhen, but Chen Yibing's comprehensiveness even surpasses his senior brother Dong Zhen. Moreover, after several years of training in the World Championships, Chen Yibing is currently in the best condition. Huang Yubin, head coach of the Chinese Gymnastics Team, said: "Chen Yibing's temperament on the court is very good. His two strongest events, rings and vault, are also what our men's gymnastics team needs most."
Record: 2008 men's individual all-around finals
[Edit this paragraph]
Chen Yibing's first individual event was the pommel horse, and his score in this event in the preliminaries was not ideal. The first half of Yibing's set went very smoothly, but when doing a Russian crawl before the end of the descent, one of Chen Yibing's hands lost his balance and dropped the equipment. In this category, Yibing only scored 13.75 points, ranking second to last.
In the second project, Chen Yibing’s strongest point finally arrived. As a two-time ring world champion, Yi Bing completed the entire set of moves very beautifully, and the referee also gave the highest score of 16.65. After regaining his footing, the excited Yi Bing couldn't help shouting to the sky, hoping to sweep away all the previous bad luck.
The third event is the vault. Chen Yibing took out the Kasamatsu 540 that he had used in the team competition. With this relatively simple action, Yibing also got an ideal score of 15.9. His performance on the parallel bars in the fourth round was average, and his score of 14.95 can only be said to be unsatisfactory. After most of the game, Yibing ranked fifth with a total score of 61.25, 2.45 points behind senior brother Yang Wei, who ranked first. However, several major competitors who are following closely are still eyeing it, and the latter two are not Yibing's strengths.
As the only event in which the Chinese men’s team does not have an absolute advantage, the horizontal bar is definitely a threshold for Yibing. Before the game started, Yi Bing even went to the parallel bars field to help Yang Wei prepare the equipment. But Yi Bing made the most serious mistake since the start of the competition on the horizontal bar: his palm guard suddenly broke during the giant loop before landing, and he fell directly from the bar without even doing the landing. The sudden mistake made Chen Yibing look confused and the coach was also at a loss. In the end, Yibing only scored 12.975 points on the horizontal bar, and his ranking suddenly dropped to 20th.
Due to injury after the horizontal bar competition, Chen Yibing finally gave up the floor exercise competition and put on his coat to rest. Unfortunately, he ended his competition with a total score of 74.225, ranking last and failing to reach his pre-competition goal.
However, in a later interview, Chen Yibing said: "For me, there is no difference between second place and 24th place. My main task is to help Yang Wei win the championship, and our goal Also achieved.
I fell off the horizontal bar because my hand was injured and it would be dangerous if I did it again, so I withdrew from the competition. " After the game, head coach Huang Yubin said: "Chen Yibing's hand peeled apart during the horizontal bar competition. Since he was far behind the top players at that time, there was no hope of competing for medals. In order to save his energy to prepare for the rings final three days later, he was asked to give up. The last one is floor exercise, but Chen Yibing's injury will not affect the next ring final. "
For Chen Yibing, who is known as the "King of Rings", the next ring finals will be the real test for him. Although Chen Yibing failed to complete the competition today, he still achieved good results in the ring event Very good results, and ranked first among all contestants. From qualifying, team competition, to all-around, his ring performance has always been among the best. If he can perform like this in the individual finals, the ring champion will be Chen Yibing. "What's in the bag".
