Xinhua News Agency, Jakarta, August 28 (reporters Xia Liang and Zhou Xin) after eight years, Jiang Wenwen/Jiang Tingting sisters who returned to the Asian Games as a mother player once again won the highest podium on the 28th, with 6 gold as the most gold player in the history of the Asian Games, he created his own legend at the same time.
On the eve of last year’s National Games, the sisters who had retired, married and had a child chose to return and picked Gold on duet event. In the following world championships in Budapest, the twin sisters won the silver medal again, showing an excellent competitive state. In preparation for the Jakarta Asian Games, the sisters did not stop after the World Championships.
“After the world championship, our training was very systematic and we didn’t stop the training for one day. Leaders and coaches have made personalized arrangements for our training so that we can receive this kind of high-intensity training physically.” After the year of standing, they still insisted on the flower tour double Court. The sisters said that this had never happened in the history of flower tour in China and even in the world.
Preparing for Jakarta duet event, the sisters used flamenco, the theme of the world championship, on their technical self-selected programs, but they all changed and improved their movement arrangement and connection.
“We actually wanted to reduce the difficulty a little this year, because the age is getting bigger and bigger every day, but now the difficulty of our movements increases instead of decreasing, which indicates that our physical fitness has been strengthened and is still improving.” The sisters said.
The two-person technical choice and free choice both won the first place, and the excellent competitive state also makes people look forward to the prospect of the two sisters in Tokyo Olympic Games. The two sisters said: “For us, we are still very confident, and now there are other players in the national team. If we don’t have the strength to participate in the Olympic Games, I think other players are also very powerful.”
From the Doha Asian Games in 2006 to the Jakarta Asian Games in 2018, although they had experienced the peak of sports and retired for a time, the sisters were almost synonymous with Chinese flower tour. In the eyes of the sisters, this is a responsibility.
“I hope our spirit of persistence and love of flower tour can be passed on to young players, not to say that we will definitely go downhill in our 20 s. We have set a good example, I hope they can stick to it more, and they often give us a lot of encouragement when we are tired of training.”
Zheng Jia, the coach who guided the sisters for many years, was very happy. “They are very talented athletes. Not every athlete who has become a mother can recover like this. First of all, they must have talent, then they must love, and the third is that the training is in place, systematic and targeted.”
“So I am especially grateful to the leaders of the Center for giving us a personalized arrangement for the double group. Because they are too old to bear the same training intensity and rhythm as the big army, their rhythm is completely personalized. According to their physical condition and the problems to be solved, very targeted training.” Zheng Jia said that although the training time of the sisters did not last long, the quality was higher and the concentration was stronger.
After the year of establishment, Zheng Jia continued to fight in the flower Tour field. Zheng Jia was full of expectation for the future of Wen Ting’s sisters: “Looking forward to their next game!”
