About gymnast Zou Kai.

Zou Kai's nickname is "Xiaomi" because of his bad eyes. He usually sees things with a narrow gap, as if he had not woken up. However, chatting with him found that this little guy with bad eyes actually saw many things clearly, just as his mother commented, "He has ideas in his heart."

Terrible car accident

Zou Kai 1988 was born in Luzhou, Sichuan, and is located in this this beautiful city where the Yangtze River meets the Tuojiang River, and the city is full of wine. As a child, Zou Kai suffered from ADHD. Persuaded by her aunt, her parents sent Zou Kai to an amateur sports school when she was 4 years old in order to exercise.

When I was a child, Zou Kai had almost forgotten about it. I only remember that I really felt tears in my eyes when I was pulling my ligament to exercise. Under the guidance of the first coach Lin, Zou Kai gradually adapted to gymnastics life. At the 1993 Provincial Games, Zou Kai was chosen by the Sichuan Gymnastics Team. As for why I took a fancy to Zou Kai, Chen Jie, deputy director of the Gymnastics Department of Sichuan Sports Vocational and Technical College, explained, "At that time, I thought this little baby was very smart and learned quickly, so I left him."

Zou Kai still remembers the important competition that brought him into professional gymnastics. Before the game, Zou Kai had an accident while taking a taxi with his family in Luzhou. "At that time, the door opened and the taxi turned upside down. As a result, I was thrown out and scared my family. " The accident left Zou Kai lying in bed for two months, almost losing the chance to attend the provincial games. "Fortunately, I finally participated, but my left face was so swollen!" Zou Kai made an exaggerated gesture.

Zou Kai, who entered the Sichuan team, soon found that everyone had the same level, but his ability was not better than that of the old players. But these are not insurmountable hurdles for Zou Kai. 200 1, Zou Kai entered the first team of the province and became a real professional player. At that time, Zou Kai was already the best among his peers. In 2002, Zou Kai was transferred to the national team.

Developmental pain

On the night when the team told him to go to the national training team for training, Zou Kai might find it as difficult to sleep as he did in Aarhus. He fantasized about participating in the Asian Games, the World Championships and even the Olympic Games, and then returning to Beijing with a gold medal and leaving his name on the champion list. The boy knows very well. But at the sight of Tiananmen Square, the huge gap knocked the child unconscious. "This is really a huge gap. I am the strongest player in the Sichuan team, but when I arrive at the national team, my God, everyone is better than me, and my state is also declining. Alas, my dream is shattered. " But Zou Kai's reaction was not as panic and calm as he described. At that time, the most he said to himself was four words-face the reality.

At the same time, Zou Kai had to face the growing pains. Gymnastics is a sport to improve oneself, and weight is very important. However, 14 Zou Kai entered the national team and ushered in a late adolescence: "At that time, he grew taller and gained weight, so it was difficult to train, and many things had to be practiced from scratch." Zou Kai recalled.

Disappointment is accumulating. Perhaps this is a problem that every national team player must face. The competition is too cruel. But Zou Kai knows how to decompress himself. He has the spirit of "Ah Q". "Anyway, I am not optimistic, so there is not so much pressure." In the national team, misfortune can't stop Zou Kai. Once, when the players were playing dam football match, he was trampled by a dance teacher. The sprain rested him for two months. But unfortunately, Zou Kai, who had a foot injury, could only practice the horizontal bar, and as a result, his performance on the horizontal bar went up.

Self - analysis

Zou Kai's self-evaluation is also full of cleverness, and he knows his own advantages and disadvantages clearly. In the sea view room where the hotel stayed, he smiled and said that he was not strong in floor exercise and horizontal bar and was attracted by the national team. At that time, all aspects of strength were relatively average, but gradually other achievements went down, and these two were OK. "Finally, it became a strength": "My biggest weakness is my poor strength. My whole body is full of fat, and my leg strength is average, but my coordination is ok, so the strength of floor exercise is ok. Horizontal bar competition is different from rings. He emphasized the whole body's strength application and body coordination. These two are my strengths now. "

The new regulations are an opportunity for me, and Zou Kai knows it very well. "The original highest score is 10, which is the quality of action completion. I happen to be an average athlete, and I will be deducted a lot of points. Now that the new regulations have been implemented, the difficulty is not capped, and I finally got the deduction back. " Now this set of floor exercises is a more difficult set of movements for Zou Kai. Although he learned something difficult, he won't use it in this competition. Zou Kai is eager to continue practicing the difficulty after returning home.

Unforgettable India

Zou Kai really entered the national first team in June 5438+this year 10. He was transferred to Bai's group, the deputy head of the men's team coaching group, and the pressure increased. "Everyday life is very simple. I get up at 7: 30 and start training at 8: 00 10, 12: 00 ... I usually don't think about anything. I wonder every day if this action can be completed tomorrow? "

The deputy team leader teaches skills and psychology. Zou Kai hopes to do his best in every training class and show himself in front of the coach. The trip to India in March this year finally got Zou Kai's wish. At the Asian Championships, Zou Kai made no mistakes in all competitions, winning three gold medals in team, floor exercise and horizontal bar. China gymnastics decision-makers including Huang Yubin went to see the competition, and Zou Kai's performance won him a valuable qualification to participate in the Danish World Championships. "So what I want to thank most is the coach, especially the Bai Dao who is taking me now. I'm going to buy him something. "

Narrow luggage

Zou Kai is a cheerful child in private, but he is shy when facing coaches, leaders or cameras. "Mix, open the door." Teammates call Zou Kai's nickname outside the door, just like a cat. Zou Kai doesn't mind the nickname. "My eyes are a little amblyopic, I dare not wear contact lenses, and I dare not operate, for fear of delaying training." It is this reason that makes Zou Kai endure not to play computer games and watch videos only when he is bored. As long as his eyes are uncomfortable, he immediately shuts down and leaves. However, next year, Zou Kai is about to encounter an enviable thing-strive to enroll in Beijing Sport University.

Early the next morning, in the team final, Zou Kai reported to the team doctor. It turned out that he sprained his ankle during training on platform 12, and he wanted to take time to treat it because he was going to participate in the floor exercise finals next. Looking forward to the upcoming floor exercise finals, Zou Kai said that it is enough to play the level, so forget it.

It began to rain lightly after noon yesterday. The female members of the China team have started to do warm-up exercises in the hotel lobby, while the male members will go to the training hall to start afternoon training after lunch. "What to eat nan? I want to eat steak again. " Zou kaixiao, eyes narrowed into a crack.
