Data gender: Female height: 1.63 m Birthday: 1968.3.23 Birthplace: Nanchong Project, Sichuan Province: Shooting (UFO) Resume: I went to junior sports school to learn basketball since I was a child, 1984 was selected as the shooting team of Sichuan Province. 16 and a half years old only touched the gun for the first time. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, Shan Zhang scored 200 shots in the women's skeet event and won the gold medal. This is the first peak of her sports career. The project was subsequently cancelled by the International Olympic Committee. Five years later, 1997 International Olympic Committee announced the resumption of this event, and Zhang Shan returned to the Jianghu and won the World Cup in Cairo the following year, winning the first ticket for the China Shooting Team in Sydney 2000. Achievements: 1989 women's individual and team skeet champion of the Italian world skeet shooting championship 1990 champion of the 45th world shooting championship and broke her own world record of 1992 Barcelona Olympic qualifiers. Breaking the World Record 1992 Barcelona Olympic Champion 1998 Cairo World Cup Champion The women's skeet gold medal in the 2005 10th National Games tied the national record. In the 2007 World Women's skeet Championship, China, composed of Wei Ning, Shan Zhang and Yu Xiumin, won the team championship with a total score of 2 14, which broke the world record. Before interviewing Shan Zhang, the reporter made a random survey and asked 50 women to name their favorite Olympic women champions. Interestingly, most of them chose Zhang Shan, the skeet champion of the 65438-0992 Barcelona Olympic Games, instead of the popular sports star. China has a legend of "a hundred bullets hit a hundred times" since ancient times, but Zhang Shan has turned the legend into reality. People's memory of Zhang Shan mostly stays at 15 years ago. At the Barcelona Olympic Games, she not only created the miracle of 200 bullets missing the target, but also staged a wonderful drama of "Women can't let men miss the target". Although the reporter failed to interview Shan Zhang face to face, from the telephone conversation, we can feel that she is an optimistic, cheerful and frank person. In short, being born in Sichuan is a typical "Sichuan sister". Zhang Shan will be 40 years old next year. A "senior four" girl is still galloping on the playground. There are international and domestic competitions, and she rushes back and forth between home and abroad every time. I always thought that Zhang Shan returned to the shooting range after retiring in order to win more world champions and more Olympic gold medals. Through an interview with her, I realized that this idea was a bit vulgar. Zhang Shan said that when he first started shooting, others said he was a genius, but he didn't realize it. Now, she thinks she is really a genius in this field, so she thinks she should continue to work hard for the skeet project, because the project itself has brought her too much satisfaction and fun. She said she would never retire, and she couldn't be separated from the flying saucer. What she likes best is the perfect combination of people, guns and flying saucers. At the end of the interview, Zhang Shan's words gave the reporter a great shock. She said: "The last thing I like to hear is that others say that Zhang Shan is really good, and you are so accurate. My favorite sentence is that watching you shoot in the back is really a pleasure for us. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. Maybe in a few years, you will see an old lady shooting in a skeet competition. It can't be someone else, it must be Zhang Shan. " Who says women are inferior to men, Zhang Shan? 1On July 28th, 992, the skeet competition of the 25th Olympic Games was held in Barcelona, and Shan Zhang, a sister of Sichuan, staged a wonderful modern drama Mulan. This "heroine" not only scored 225 targets and 223 targets, but also defeated many men and became the first in the Olympic Games. On the podium, Austrian runner-up and Italian runner-up held Zhang Shan high. Subsequently, the rules of the Olympic Games were amended to cancel the mixed competition of male and female athletes, which made Shan Zhang the only female athlete to beat male athletes in this event. Zhang Shan's victory has written a miracle in the world shooting history, but little known is that Zhang Shan almost lost the opportunity to participate in the Barcelona Olympic Games in order to reduce the size of the China sports delegation. I'm afraid Zhang Shan will never forget the past. She recalled: "I especially like the competition, because I think it is like a festival, and what we want to enjoy is a kind of happiness." I remember that before the Barcelona Olympic Games, I had been preparing nervously and made full preparations. Unexpectedly, the then State Sports Commission (now the State Sports General Administration) decided not to let me participate in the competition because it wanted to reduce the size of the China sports delegation. After hearing the news, the head coaches of the national shooting team resolutely opposed it, saying that I had a great chance of winning the championship. Finally, the State Sports Commission adopted the opinions of the shooting team. " Zhang Shan was born in an ordinary family in Nanchong, Sichuan. She has two brothers, the third in the family. It was an accident that she took the road of shooting, because before joining the shooting team, Shan Zhang studied in Nanchong No.1 Middle School, a famous middle school in Nanchong, Sichuan, and her academic performance was very good. Her father, a middle school teacher, naturally placed great hopes on Zhang Shan. When Zhang Shan is marching towards the goal of being admitted to a famous university step by step, one day in 1984, several coaches of Sichuan Shooting Team, such as Jiang Zexiang and Zhou Jie, went to Nanchong No.1 Middle School to select players. After seeing some students, the coaches were generally disappointed. Just as the coaches were preparing to "go home", the school leader said that another student was clever and suggested that they look around before leaving, so the coaches promised to wait for another five minutes. After a while, the clever student who came home from school rushed back to school. Female students stand in front of the coach and give them a bright feeling. Through the test, the coaches found that she reacted quickly and was very suitable for practicing UFO events. At that time, the female student was not only full of aura in her study, but also a member of the school basketball team. Later, she left the familiar campus, put down her basketball, picked up her gun and went to the shooting range. This clever girl is Zhang Shan standing on the podium of the Olympic champion eight years later. Coach Jiang Zexiang once commented on Zhang Shan's shooting training: "From 1984 to 10, Zhang Shan started systematic shooting training. When she first came into contact with the UFO project, she really made rapid progress. After more than half a year of systematic training, she has reached the domestic advanced level. " 1993 After the National Games, the International Olympic Committee cancelled the skeet competition, and Zhang Shan became "unemployed". After leaving the competition, she realized her college dream for the first time. At the age of 25, she became the oldest student in the economics department of Sichuan University. 1997 While preparing her graduation thesis, she decided to start over and enter a brand-new industry. Just then, news came from the International Shooting Federation and the International Olympic Committee that the women's skeet event was listed as an official Olympic event! In the days when he left the gunfire, Zhang Shan found that when people were away, his heart was on the gun. Only after walking this road did he know what he really wanted. Familiar gunfire called Shan Zhang, and she returned to the shooting team without hesitation. She started training the next day, and a strong sense of belonging told her: I can do it, and this project is still mine! Sure enough, Zhang Shan won the first ticket of shooting competition in Sydney Olympic Games soon after her comeback, but unfortunately, her performance was not satisfactory at one time and she failed to enter the final of the Olympic Games. On the eve of Athens Olympic Games, Zhang Shan studied for an MBA in the School of Business Administration of Sichuan University, and rushed to the shooting range for training after class every day. In order to qualify for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, she paid a lot and ended in failure, but she was not reconciled. Shan Zhang told reporters that she still has a dream, that is, to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games to be held next year (Beijing Olympic News, Beijing Olympic Games) and win glory for her country. For this ideal, although she is not training in the national team now, she still lives a life of training, attending three or four trainings a week and participating in the Olympic trials according to her physical characteristics. "There were three trials in August this year, and there will be three trials in February and March next year. Beijing Olympic Games women's skeet, each participating country has only one seat at most. China automatically got a ticket as the host, but only 1 person can represent China. I'm old, but my mind is not bad. I have set myself a higher goal and am still working hard to drive young athletes. " Zhang Shan said, "Now the competition is a kind of enjoyment for me. Flying saucer is a very beautiful project. I participated in the competition to let all the audience see the beauty of flying saucers. " On October 7th, 2004 165438+36-year-old Shan Zhang dedicated his life to 47-year-old Australian referee Barnes, and they got married in Chengdu. The bridesmaids are Barnes' two daughters Emma and Kane, and the matchmaker of this transnational marriage is filming. Barnes said happily, "I chased Zhang Shan 10 years, and I was really intoxicated when I fell under her gun." 1993, Zhang Shan and Barnes met at a shooting competition held in Spain. The two hit it off, but at that time they both had their own families and greeted each other like good friends. Although Barnes was selected for the Australian national shooting team many times, his performance was not satisfactory. He admired Zhang Shan's superb skills. After 1995, the two never met in international competitions again. Barnes retired from business after his two daughters were born one after another. In his busy working life, he couldn't give up his love for shooting, so he returned to the shooting range. In the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Barnes and Zhang Shan met again, and Barnes became the referee. Zhang Shan recalled: "What impressed me the most was that he had a big belly, but his movements were very flexible. He jumped over and gave each of our team members a small toy like a panda and gave it to me. " From then on, Zhang Shan began to pay attention to Barnes. After learning the news of Shan Zhang's divorce, the divorced Barnes gave Shan Zhang two special gifts-kangaroo and koala toys with Australian characteristics. "I want you to take them with you. They will give you my blessing at any time! " Zhang Shan accepted Barnes' gift and said happily, "Can I call you a bug?" ? I will treat you as my brother in the future. "'Shan Mei' is Barnes' nickname for Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan and Barnes fell in love in 2003 and tied the knot in 2004. Now they have been living a happy and sweet life. Shan Zhang said that she is very happy, and now her greatest wish is to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games, and then have a lovely child and be a good wife and mother.
