Tian's character story

Tian is very lucky! This is not only because he grew up in Wuhan, a historic city surrounded by mountains and rivers, but more importantly, he met a teacher who knew gold and changed his life. At the age of 9, there was a PE teacher in his primary school who came back from Singapore, named Chen Fucheng. Teacher Chen likes badminton very much. So, he selected some small players with similar interests from his students who seemed to have development potential, and got together at three or four o'clock every afternoon to teach them to play in their own way. Tian was chosen by the teacher! However, because he is the only child in the family, his parents have been arrogant since childhood, and they are worried that he can't suffer, so he is not allowed to go. Teacher Chen knew about it and ran to his house to do his parents' work. In this way, he began his amateur training with Mr. Chen.

At that time, there was no space in the school, so Teacher Chen borrowed two pieces from the amateur sports school. In order to make full use of the hard-won venue, Mr. Chen keeps the training time accurate every day: what time is it after school and how long it takes to walk from school to sports school, so that every student can't be careless.

"At that time, we were still young, and sometimes we practiced from 3 pm to 8 pm. We are very hungry, so Mr. Chen asked us to run to the toilet to drink tap water, bang ... with a full stomach of water, we can stick to it. Of course, these families don't know. There was a time when I practiced late every day, and my parents were afraid of delaying my homework and wouldn't let me play any more. As a result, Mr. Chen came to my house again when he saw that I hadn't shown up for a week. My parents were moved by his sincerity and finally agreed to let me continue to play ... "Tian recalled the dribs and drabs of the past. "He was my first coach, not only in badminton, but also in my life. Because those days had a great influence on my life. When I was on the national team, I could bear hardships. If we hadn't laid a solid foundation at that time, we wouldn't have achieved today. At the same time, Mr. Chen not only trained me, but also trained world champions such as Han Aiping and Shang, as well as more than a dozen students who are currently coaches in Hubei. He made great contributions to badminton in China ... Unfortunately, Mr. Chen died of nasal cancer before he was 50 years old. However, it is gratifying that when he left this world, he had already seen me standing on the podium of the world champion. I think this is the best reward for teachers! " After training under Chen Fucheng for three years, in 76, Tian entered the key class of Hubei Provincial Sports School, and was transferred to Hubei Provincial Team two years later. August/Kloc-0 was selected for the national team until/Kloc-0 retired in 1992: "I picked up the racket at the age of 9 and put it down at the age of 29, and it took 20 years!" He was filled with emotion!

In these 20 years, Tian's youth, blood and life have been integrated! Foundry field's ideal, belief and brilliance! He and Li Yongbo formally partnered in men's doubles in 1984 and won the world championship six times. Among them, three Thomas Cups, two World Championships and one World Cup; In addition, there are three British Open champions and one Asian Games champion. And those runners-up and runners-up are countless! His tacit understanding of combining rigidity with softness with Li Yongbo gave them an advantage, a struggle and a glory! 1992 is a turning point for Tian. After Thomas Cup won the third place, Li Yongbo suffered a serious foot strain in the first game of the Barcelona Olympic Games, and it took six stitches to finish the game. As a result, the "golden partner" who dominated the world badminton for many years ranked third ... The China badminton team was completely annihilated at that Olympic Games, falling from the peak to the bottom ... in the same year, 65438+ February.

In recent years, Tian's achievements are obvious to all! 1993 After Gefei Badminton/Gu Jun was discovered in the 7th National Games and transferred to the national team, he devoted a lot of efforts to them. To his great relief, his efforts were not in vain. This pair of women's doubles, currently ranked first in the world, has won gold medals in a series of world competitions such as the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the World Cup, the Sudirman Cup and the All England Open in recent years. "If we can win the Uber Cup and the Asian Games next year, they will win all the gold medals during my term!" He said with confidence. At the same time, Qin Yiyuan/Tang Yongshu, Hong Qian/Liu Lu and other new generation players have grown and are growing. ...

"Do you like being a coach? I think it's quite easy for you to do it? " As the deputy head coach of China Badminton Team, Tian's answer was quite unexpected: "If I can still play, I'd rather play. The job of a coach is not only boring, but also much more stressful than that of an athlete. One game after another, I can't stay idle at night. In addition to training, it is also necessary to solve the management problems such as quarrels, thoughts and cooperation between players, especially girls, which involves too much energy. I feel very tired. You see, my hair is dyed and there are too many white hairs ... "Tian went on to say," Besides, I have a serious waist injury that has lasted for more than ten years. It's hard to stand still and walk straight for more than ten minutes. When I am an athlete, I am always the first to arrive and the last to leave, so I can practice my lumbar muscles well, otherwise I can't insist on normal training ... "At this moment, I suddenly realized: no wonder I saw him change his posture later, which turned out to be a waist injury.

"Have you ever thought about leaving badminton and changing jobs?" I asked tentatively, "Not yet. The country has trained me, and now I have the opportunity to serve the country. I must be duty-bound and cannot talk about conditions. I can't leave now, and it will be difficult to leave in the future. I think I should do this ... "In detail, the name" Tian "(there is no wrong name here-the name of the person who wrote" Tian "in today's household registration book is" Tian ")-why should it be changed? Listen to this chapter. ) appeared in the international arena, earlier than the appearance of "Li Yongbo": 1982, China participated in the All England Competition for the first time, and Tian and Guan Weizhen cooperated to win the bronze medal in mixed doubles, which was the first time that China badminton entered the top three in the world in mixed doubles; In the 1983 All England Championship, Tian won the bronze medal in men's singles, and the champion was Luan Jin of China.

Just as Tian is an excellent singles player, so is Li Yongbo. He won the runner-up in men's singles in the national championship. Based on the principle of strong alliance, then head coach Wang Wen decided to combine these two excellent singles players into a pair of doubles.

Li Tian first appeared in the World Cup in September, 1984. They won the runner-up in men's doubles, followed by the runner-up in the World Championships and the World Cup in the next two years.

After winning the second place in the world many times, it is time to "know what will happen next and listen to this story." Tian was a little anxious, so he went to the "master" to tell his fortune. The "master" concluded that "righteousness" is a fork plus a point-which means "almost", so Tian became "Tian". The result of renaming was immediate: 1987, Li Tian became the world champion in Beijing.
