Killing skills actually hurt yourself. peng bo and The way of the Olympic Games may have been cut off
No China athlete wants to miss the Olympic Games at home. In order to participate in next year’s Beijing Olympic Games, those athletes who are hopeful but have no absolute strength should naturally try their best to attract the attention of all parties. However, if you carry a psychological burden because of this, there may be a result that is not worth the candle.
Peng bo, the champion of men’s 3m springboard in Athens Olympic Games, is such a case. On the afternoon of 24th of this month, peng bo, who wanted to prove himself too much, had an accident in the men’s 3m springboard preliminaries. He hit his right ankle hard on the springboard when he flipped in the short, and then he fell into the water, and finally withdrew from the competition due to injury.
Peng bo’s big mistake in jumping in Hefei may completely block his dream of next year’s Beijing Olympic Games. Peng bo’s success or failure is really in this jump? No one dares to draw a conclusion yet, but there is not much time left for him.
Under pressure, the action is deformed.
Peng bo’s unexpected action is 5353B (two and a half somersaults and one and a half bends) with a difficulty coefficient of 3.5, which he has used in the World University Games, military world games, Yantai Olympic trials and other competitions before. Judging from the quality of completion, the two international competitions are good, with scores above 80 points; Both Yantai before and Hefei this time made mistakes: first, they took off for the second time, and this time, their right feet crashed into the water.
After retiring from the competition, peng bo could feel that he was very disappointed, although he was calm on the surface. Liu Henglin, the coach, said when analyzing the reasons for peng bo’s defeat, "The rhythm was wrong when he walked out of the board. I felt that he found this problem, so he leaned back. As a result, the position of the whole board was not in place, and the center of gravity was too backward, which led to the foot hitting the springboard after flying."
Liu Henglin said that he had never had such a beating in his usual training, and 5353B had mastered it after one year’s training, which should not be a mistake caused by being unfamiliar. He analyzed that peng bo’s psychological instability had something to do with this problem. "He put too much pressure on himself and wanted to win the game too much. After all, he has fallen behind a lot in the competition with his teammates. In addition, when he came back from the military sports meeting, he immediately participated in the competition in Hefei, and he was physically tired. " Liu Henglin said.
Peng bo didn’t deny Liu Henglin’s statement. He admitted that this race, the Hefei race, was his best this year, but what he didn’t expect was to worry everyone. "I really hope that everyone can see a brand-new me at this sports meeting, but I didn’t expect it to backfire." Peng bo said so.
"nirvana" doesn’t seem so good.
Maybe even peng bo himself didn’t expect that the "trick" that he had been practicing hard for a long time would hurt himself.
Mention this 5353B, which is a "killer skill" that peng bo has been practicing hard since 2006, especially for the Beijing Olympic Games. There are 6 moves in this set, and the total difficulty coefficient is 19.9, which is only 0.3 lower than that of He Chong, the "king of difficulty". Since peng bo’s comeback, 5353B has really added a lot of luster to his achievements.
But in fact, as the "killing skill" that peng bo practiced hard, it is not a particularly big difficulty in the diving world today. Among the players in China, younger players such as He Chong and Qin Kai can easily finish it, and even many small players of local teams have practiced it. Even Wang Feng, who is also a veteran, can finish the 5353B easily, while foreign players, such as Canadian "golden boy" despatie, can also dance beautifully.
From this point of view, it seems that it is not a shortcut for peng bo to take part in the Beijing Olympic Games with the action of 5353B.
Injuries always like to haunt him
Injury, always seems to like dealing with peng bo.
After the Athens Olympic Games, peng bo’s physical condition has been unsatisfactory, especially the knee injury has been serious. In the past two years, peng bo has been absent from all major diving competitions and almost evaporated in the diving arena.
Apart from injuries, his sports career was not smooth sailing. In 1987, peng bo, who was sickly, was sent to Nanchang Sports School by his father to learn diving, just to strengthen his physique. However, with the gradual exposure of his athletic talent, he likes diving. In 1993, 12-year-old peng bo stood out from the Jiangxi diving team and was sent to the national team for trial training with another teammate. After three months of trial training, his teammate was left behind, but peng bo was returned. "I will come back again." When leaving the national team, peng bo said this. This incident dealt a great blow to peng bo. Since then, he has changed from passive training to active training, and hard training sometimes makes his parents feel distressed. Peng bo won all the gold medals in the men’s platform and springboard in the Jiangxi diving competition held in the following year. In 1998, peng bo finally re-entered the national team at the age of 17.
Although his career has suffered many setbacks, the strong Jiangxi man has not given up his Olympic dream. He said that he will try his best to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games next year and make unremitting efforts for the last Olympic Games. When talking about peng bo’s situation, Zhou Jihong, the leader of the China diving team, also said: "Fortunately, the injury is not very serious. peng bo’s career is full of ups and downs … Although suffering can help people grow up, it is too cruel for peng bo’s bumpy old future. “
Is success or failure really a jump here?
After careful examination, peng bo’s injury is not too serious, but this accident is likely to cast a shadow over peng bo’s Olympic prospects.
After peng bo’s accident, both Zhou Jihong, the leader of the China diving team, and Liu Henglin, the coach of peng bo, bluntly said, "Everyone knows that he wants to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games. The question now is, will such a major mistake cause peng bo greater psychological pressure in the future?"
Judging from the selection of the Olympic Games, the diving Olympic trials are divided into five stops. Hefei is the last stop this year, and there will be two more next year. After the five stops, those with the top six points in the Olympic trials will enter the Olympic selection list. Peng bo missed the Melbourne World Championships due to injury this year, which means he missed the first stop of the trials. In the second national championship, he made a mistake of taking off twice in the first round and finally won the eighth place. There was an accident of accidental injury in Hefei Station. It can be said that peng bo has not made any achievements in the Olympic trials so far, and now peng bo will have to rest and stop training, and the prospects are bleak.
In the competition within the team, compared with Qin Kai and He Chong, peng bo has no advantage in terms of potential or the results of trials. Peng Boxin’s new action 5353B can’t be compared with He Chong’s. He Chong’s most difficult action can already jump out of the 5353b with a difficulty coefficient of 3.9. Qin Kai, which won this year’s World Championship, is also world-class.
However, when talking about whether peng bo has basically lost the qualification to compete for the Olympic Games, Zhou Jihong, deputy director of the swimming center and leader of the diving team, said that the candidates could not be decided before the trials were all over.
Jumping on the board hurts a lot.
On November 21st, 2001, in the women’s 3m springboard synchronized final of the 9th National Games, Li Rongjuan, a Guangdong athlete, slammed her head on the springboard because she took off too close to the board in the last movement. Later, Li Rongjuan was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Fortunately, the injury was not serious.
In the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, American star louganis hit his head on the springboard and was injured in the men’s 3m springboard preliminaries. However, he went to the 10-meter platform with injury, and the image of "man of iron" with bandages on his head touched the referee. In the end, he defeated China teenager Xiong Ni and won the championship.
In April, 1999, in the National Diving Championship held in Jinan, xiao hailiang, a famous Hubei athlete, slammed his head on the springboard when he was doing the backward somersault for three and a half times in the men’s 3m springboard final, and he lost consciousness on the spot, fell into the water and immediately became bloody in the pool.
In the 2005 World Championships, Chelsea Davis, a 17-year-old girl from the United States, hit her head on the springboard and fell face down into the water. Blood flowed out of her nose. The coach immediately jumped into the water and rescued her and took her to the hospital. Fortunately, Chelsea’s injury is not serious, only a few stitches on the bridge of the nose.
In the National Games in 2005, Wu Minxia hit the board during his fall because of his poor take-off, and as a result, he was deformed and plunged into the water. Wu Minxia also missed the championship.
