"That was once affectionately called' taro doll' Xiao Nai; Xiao Nai, who once told us that her strength was uneven bars and balance beam, was once regarded as the star of hope in 2008, and left silently because of femoral head necrosis. ..... "Nero stepped into the Olympic Games step by step, but fate played a terrible joke on her at this time and once again survived from her dream. But if a fool is in a cold sweat, it's like he just came down from the training ground.
It's actually a cliche nightmare. A black pursuer, cold blade, foggy road ahead. Your feet are stuck in the mire.
This dream invaded Nairuoyu's Night in August 2008. As we all know, this should not be a summer related to nightmares. Seven years ago, relatives and coaches outlined another dream about this summer for Nairuoyu countless times. She will win an Olympic gymnastics gold medal.
Seven years ago in August 2008, Nairuoyu participated in a "survivor" game. Fortunately, relying on talent and hard work, she did beat the white magnesium powder again and again and survived on the uneven bars and the balance beam. Auditions 100, 100,50,10,10,6. Behind this cruel score, someone is always playing the denominator. But being a fool has always been a molecule.
The nightmare began in February 2006. Because there is a shadow the size of a corn grain on the femoral head, Neroy suddenly became the denominator. Before the injury, her training performance in the second national gymnastics team was always in the top few. In the 2006 China-Italy Youth Competition, Nairuoyu won the second place in all-around, while her teammates Jiang Yuyuan and Deng were the gymnastics team champion and the third place in the 2008 Olympic Games respectively.
But if a fool wakes up suddenly, his heart is still pounding and his cold sweat is greasy. At 3 o'clock in the morning, it was dark outside the window, and there was a faint sound of insects. My roommate's breathing was very long.
It's dark at the moment, and the next routine inspection will be done soon. I don't know if the shadow on my femur will disappear.
For more than a year, Nairuoyu was exhausted by this small shadow and couldn't see the road ahead.
From Amateur Sports School to Provincial Team
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the small members of the Hebei women's gymnastics team are running around on the floor mat. They are playing the game of "touching the dead". This is their warm-up match every morning.
The training ground of Hebei team is covered with a layer of white magnesium powder everywhere, the original bright colors of the equipment have already faded, and the fitness mirror is covered with thick dust. The windows on both sides have been opened, and the children's laughter will dispel the sultry air last night.
Nairuoyu sat on the edge of the court and watched the girls play with a straight face. It's only been half a year since she returned to the provincial team to resume practicing. The film in May showed that there was still a shadow on her femur, so she couldn't do such strenuous exercise. Usually she only practices upper limb strength. When she went to the national team, the provincial team members had basically retired, leaving only one dormitory, Wang Dan.
First-team members of the provincial team 13 years old or above, plus 7 stupid, second-team members 10 years old or above, 4 * * *. With the increasing number of only-child families, it is more and more difficult to select gymnastic teams. "Parents with reasonable families are reluctant to let their children receive professional training. Practicing gymnastics is much more difficult than studying. " The head coach of Hebei gymnastics team said coldly.
1995, when Leng found Nairuoyu in a kindergarten, he was also the coach of Shijiazhuang Amateur Sports School.
Bole music like Leng is an extremely important basic link in the national sports system of China. Amateur sports school coaches often go to surrounding kindergartens to find children with better talents and easier achievements. It is more important for amateur sports schools to cultivate talents for provincial teams than to cultivate children's hobbies.
When the kindergarten teacher announced the news, Nairuoyu, who was only 4 years old, squeezed in front of him, grabbed his skirt, looked up and asked loudly, "Am I suitable?"
She is very suitable, with strong limbs, good explosive power, strong expressive force, excellent memory and small feet.
Leng Hong Jun put Nairuoyi's little foot in his hand, and the foot still accounts for less than half of the palm of his hand-which means Nairuoyi will not be very tall in the future. Being tall is a particular taboo for gymnasts. Children who have received professional training often give up when they grow taller.
In China, the growth of an athlete is accomplished through a three-level system: amateur sports schools, provincial teams and national teams. Amateur sports school is the foundation of becoming a professional athlete. Under normal circumstances, after at least two or three years of experience in amateur sports schools, children with outstanding performance will be selected for the provincial team.
Nairuoyu's parents are very supportive of their children's after-school gymnastics. In their eyes, gymnastics is similar to dancing, and amateur sports schools cost tens of dollars a month. It is natural for children to learn more.
Nairuoyu's parents are both doctors, and there is only one only daughter in the family. At first, they did not consider letting Nairuoyu engage in professional training. However, coach Leng had high expectations of being a fool from the beginning. Gymnastics is a relatively boring sport. In addition to talent, tough personality is particularly important. In an amateur sports school with no rigid requirements, Leng Hong Jun saw Nairuoyu practicing his movements alone after class several times, and refused to go home without practicing. He believes that Nairuoyu will achieve something in gymnastics in the future.
In 2000, Leng was transferred from amateur sports school to Hebei Gymnastics Team. He is bent on cultivating Nairuoyu into a gymnastics champion. He went to Naijia three times and five times to work for Naigeng and his wife, and even found Naigeng's unit more than once and asked him to allow his daughter to carry out gymnastics professional training.
Because of intense study, Nairuoyu has stopped training in amateur sports school for nearly a year. Although the coach has the responsibility to tap better talents, the cold enthusiasm is somewhat selfish. Having excellent athletes not only means the honor and reputation of coaches, but also directly affects their income and promotion.
"Gymnastics is a strong point in China. Maybe you can make achievements and win medals. " Mother Qi Yan let go first, but Naigeng only promised to let the children have a try. Nairuoyu's academic performance is among the best in her class, but Naigeng asked her not to leave the culture class, so she had to attend classes for half a day and go to the provincial team for training.
Nairuoyu, who came to the provincial team, doesn't need to pay training fees, and she can still get a "subsidy" of five or six hundred yuan every month after becoming a full member. The subsidy will increase with the improvement of her competition performance, and now her subsidy is 1080 yuan. This figure makes other teammates envy, and most of their subsidies are less than 70 0 yuan.
Athletes who do not become regular employees are not subsidized, and they have to pay more than 1000 yuan of living expenses every year. It will take about two or three years from joining the provincial team to becoming full-time.
It's only a stone's throw from the Olympic Games.
Before the Olympics, Hebei TV invited Nairuoyu to do a program. The players asked curiously, "Is Nairuoyu famous, compared with the Olympic champion?"
They didn't know that Neroy had been so close to fame.
At the end of 2003, the national gymnastics team began to select young athletes nationwide to prepare for the Olympic Games four and a half years later. Leng took four young athletes from the provincial team to Beijing by train, but Ruoyu was one of them.
Nairuoyu's parents let her train for half a day and attend classes for half a day. I thought her training results would be inferior to those of the players who trained all day, but I didn't expect Nairuoyu's training results to be the best among children of the same age in the provincial team.
More than 100 small athletes and dozens of coaches from all over the country crowded the training ground of the national team. After 12 days of training, the selection began. The coaches of the national team lined up in a row. Opposite them sat the coach of the provincial team. /kloc-more than 0/00 children 12 and 13 years old took the stage in turn to do the same prescribed action, and the national team coach scored according to the quality completion and impression. Leng Hong Jun took one look, and there were all kinds of pigtails on a row of dark little brains, and he couldn't tell which one was his own player.
The next day, the results of the sea election came out, and more than 50 people were eliminated, but Ruoyu and two other contestants passed easily. Another day passed, and 20 to 50 began. As soon as the last floor exercise appeared, Nairuoyu made a mistake. The first required action is cartwheel. She just finished turning and landed, bouncing too hard and spraining her foot. "The provincial team's venue is not flexible. Although I have been training for a few days, I still can't adapt to such a good venue. " Nairuoyu's ankle swelled up at once, so Leng had to put her on the train.
10 days later, Nairuoyu and another teammate named Yuan Ying received a notice to participate in the next round of three-month training. Leng handed the notice of the national team to the Naigeng couple. They knew it was time to make a choice. "Since the national team wants her, then practice professionally."
At the beginning of 2004, more than 20 young players participated in a three-month training camp, including Jiang Yuyuan and Deng. It's not so much a training class as a knockout. The coach should decide whether the young athletes will stay or not according to their three-month training results. Yuan Ying quickly returned to the provincial team because of her persistent fever, and then the athletes left one after another for various reasons. Three months later, fifteen or six girls stayed and formed the second national gymnastics team. Their main task is to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games.
But if jade stayed, she had to face twice as much training as the provincial team and the ubiquitous competition pressure. The general training capacity of the national team is to do ten simple movements a day and three difficult movements a day. However, if Yu is stubborn and can't practice a movement well, she will never rest. Uneven bars have a set of movements, and she can't bend in two weeks 180. She did this seven times in one breath, which surprised the coach to hold her down and let her relax. "The training of the national team is very hard, but I gritted my teeth and never cried." Nairuoyu said.
However, Shi Juan from Guangxi said that she would cry without exception if the movements were not well trained by the coach. "But if you are stupid, you will wipe your tears behind your back and practice harder after crying." Shi Juan admired Nairuoyi, and after crying, she took advantage of the coach's inattention to rest and relax.
The second national team is still eliminating people, but I hope to stick to the end. "When I entered the national team training ground, wow! One color is red, how glamorous, I really don't want to go back to the provincial team! " Not everyone can stand the strict demands of the national team. Shi Juan found the life of the national team unbearable, while the provincial team was much easier. In 2006, Shi Juan was sent back to the provincial team. Although her parents and the coach of the provincial team were very sorry, Shi Juan sent a text message to tell her friend that she finally came back.
Before Nairuoyu's leg injury, there were only eleven or twelve girls out of fifteen or sixteen. In 2005, she joined the first national team and trained with the former national team athletes. After she left the national team, several girls left one after another. Of the 65,438+000 children, only six or seven stayed.
Since then, there have been several similar selections. He Kexin and Yang Yilin, Olympic gold medalists, were selected and supplemented in the last few times. The newly selected young athletes trained with the former national team athletes, and finally selected a list of six people to represent China in the Olympic Games.
disease
The morning training of Hebei Gymnastics Team ended with 1 1. At noon, a teammate stood on the table in the dormitory and blew soap bubbles. Nairuoyu sat on the bed with a straight face, stretched out his index finger and punctured the floating bubbles in front of him one by one. Colorful bubbles broke into a fine mist in front of the skull on her black T-shirt.
What stabbed her dream?
June 2006: 5438+065438+ 10. After a training session, Nairuoyu found that her hip joint was abnormal. When I sleep at night, the root of my right leg suddenly stings, and I can't get rid of the pain no matter whether I play or kick. But the next day, during training, the pain disappeared again. A week later, Nairuoyu found that the pain would always accompany him during training.
After a month's rest due to leg pain and repeated examinations, Nairuoyu told Qi Yan in a routine phone call on Saturday that the doctor thought she was "suspected of femoral head necrosis" and needed to continue to rest, check and treat, and ended the call with laughter.
At the other end of the phone, Qi Yan's heart sank, and the dense words stuck in her throat could not be said, which was badly blocked.
As doctors, Qi Yan and his wife know the description of this disease in the textbook: the full name of femoral head necrosis is aseptic necrosis of femoral head, which is a pathological change that leads to poor blood supply of femoral head for various reasons and further ischemic necrosis leads to collapse of femoral head. In severe cases, it will cause severe pain in walking and activities, and even have to rely on crutches.
"My daughter has been lively and active, skipping, how can she not stand up one day?"
That night, the couple listened to each other's sighs until dusk. The next day, the couple arrived in Beijing.
Nairuoyu was asked to stop training for two months and stay in bed. The doctor has started to treat her according to "femoral head necrosis".
This disease is not uncommon among gymnasts, because the somersault landing action makes the femoral head bear a great impact, and it is easy to get injured after long-term accumulation. Nairuoyu's sister, Dong, a famous gymnast of Hebei team, also withdrew from the competition.
"If you are a fool, you have trained very hard. In order to do well, she will practice many times more than others. Too much practice, fatigue is an important reason for her injury. " Hebei team coach said coldly.
After stopping training, my parents went back to work in Shijiazhuang, but if I were stupid, I found it took a long time. At 7 o'clock every morning, my teammates went to training, but I was stunned and didn't wake up until 12. At noon, her teammates took turns to bring her food back. Neroy often doesn't notice it when it's dark.
After stopping training for two months, the situation still hasn't improved. The team doctor was extended for another month. But if you are stupid, you gain some weight. This is bad news for gymnasts.
Before the injury, Nairuoyu was the top of the second gymnastics team. If she can keep training, she will be an important candidate for the Olympic Games.
When Nairuoyu was lying in bed and resting, the little members of the second gymnastics team were struggling. She began to count the time of the next exam with her fingers on the plate.
"I began to feel sick. Sitting alone in front of the window for a long time, I felt unbearable for several times. But later, I was numb. " Nairuoyu has been lying in the national team for seven months.
The national gymnastics championship held in Shanghai in mid-June 2007 is one of the trials for the Olympic Games. One afternoon in early June, Nairuoyu was sitting in bed reading a book. Deng and Jiang Yuyuan are chattering in a room about which suit to take to the game. They are packing and getting ready to go.
In the afternoon, Nairuoyu's book only turned two pages.
On the dark blue CT film reviewed in June, the bright light gray part outlines the shape of the bone. The shadow is still deeply rooted. Nairuoyu's parents decided to take her home for care and treatment.
It was early July when she left Beijing. Her parents and the coach of Hebei team came to meet her, but it has been nearly four years since Nairuoyu left the national team.
Biggil
The morning training of Hebei Gymnastics Team ended at 1 1, and nine girls sat around the floor exercise ground to have a quiet rest and chat.
The piano suddenly sounded in the gym, and the melody was familiar and slightly trembling. The girls looked at a dusty piano behind a pile of old equipment by the window.
But if in accordance with the sitting on a dilapidated vault bar, waist straight, hands are not skillfully sliding on the black and white keys. The birch trees outside the window rattled by the wind, and the girls sang softly in the empty gymnasium. "You have to believe that we will end up happy like a fairy tale."
The ending is not always as expected, and life always goes on.
From the beginning of this year, Nairuoyu returned to the provincial team and began to receive training bit by bit.
The latest examination in May showed that there was still a little shadow on her femur. She is waiting for her next physical examination in a few days. If the shadow disappears, she can officially resume training. On the contrary, she will continue to wait for a long time. Ideally, she can take part in the National Games next year.
In fact, there is not much time left for her to wait. She is 17 years old this year. As a gymnast, this is the golden age. From next year, her competitive state will decline year by year.
Nairuoyu's ringtone is "bigbiggirl". Every time she calls, she always hums "I am a big girl in a big world".
In fact, she knows what biggirl means to gymnasts. "If I don't do well in the next leg exam, I will consider other ways out, take a sports school and become a coach or referee in the future." She confided to Wang Dan in a dormitory in private.
After becoming the denominator, Nairuoyu brings more family happiness to her parents. Every night, her parents are always particularly at ease after seeing her wanton sleeping position. Every time I saw other mothers and daughters shopping hand in hand in the street, Qi Yan always envied me. She hasn't held a silly little hand for a long time. "Because I am a big girl." Nairuoyu said with a smile.
"Because her palm has a thick layer of calluses, she won't allow others to touch her hard palm, including my mother." Qi Yan said.
"Palm" is just one of the "sensitive words" given by her daughter to the life of Qiyan. Nairuoyu's parents, relatives and friends have been afraid to mention the words "Olympics" and "gymnastics" in front of her for fear of stimulating her. "In the previous five or six years, her life revolved around gymnastics. Suddenly deprived of the right to practice gymnastics, it is difficult for adults to accept such a blow. " Qi Yan wants to book some tickets for Olympic gymnastics and take her daughter to the scene to watch the game, but whenever she wants to ask for advice, she is speechless.
In 2007, when she returned to the provincial team with a cold injury, she was still laughing all the way, but when she got home, she refused to watch any gymnastics events and often locked herself in the house alone. "Although it is still installed on the surface, it is actually close to collapse." But if the rain starts to get upset, play QQ games and play cards. If she loses a game, she will be so angry that she will smash the keyboard and mouse. If she doesn't try to control herself, she is even worried that she will smash the computer. In the face of her parents, too, she turned and went back to the house without saying a word for a long time.
I rested at home for half a year, but Ruoyu asked to go back to the provincial team for simple training. Parents hope that their daughter will not be exposed to this sport that takes away her health in the future. Qi Yan and his wife advised Nairuoyu to give up gymnastics and go back to school for college entrance examination. But Nairuoyu refused, and she still wanted to pick up gymnastics when the injury could be cured.
"I have left school for four or five years. Although the results in those years were good, there were too many courses left, which were difficult to make up, and they had long been unsuitable for school life. " Nairuoyu said.
Also facing similar difficulties is Shi Juan, a good friend of Nairuoyu's former national team. She just retired due to injury. After school starts in September, she will be promoted directly to senior three.
"Certainly can't keep up, but learning from scratch is a waste of money and time. How much can I get next year? " Shi Juan said.
Not only the provincial team and the national team adopt closed management, but only children aged seven or eight have almost lost all opportunities to contact the society after entering the provincial team. Most players don't know how to operate a computer. Before leaving the national team, Shi Juan couldn't even operate a computer. They can't even go home for years, and they haven't even picked out a dress by themselves, let alone sing karaoke or travel alone.
On the morning of August 26th, Meng Guizhi led her 8-year-old daughter into the gymnasium and asked Leng about her children's professional gymnastics. At the just-concluded Olympic Games, China Gymnastics Team won nine gold medals in an unprecedented way. Meng Guizhi and her neighbors watched several games, and they all felt that it was a good idea to let children practice gymnastics and "win the Olympic champion in the future".
Leng Hong Jun squatted down and carefully examined the little girl's limbs, holding up the child's little feet with both hands.
The child looked around curiously and his eyes fell on Nairuoyi. Nairuoyu sat by the sponge pit, patting her hands covered with magnesium powder and smiling at the child.
She was once one step away from the Olympic champion. She walked towards the Olympic gold medal step by step, but her fate changed when the gold medal was within reach. Nairuoyu is currently working as a gymnastics coach in Shijiazhuang.
