[Commentary] In the hot July, the girls of the Jilin Provincial Women’s Wrestling Team were sweating on the training ground. Falling, climbing, falling and climbing again... It is their common dream to become an excellent wrestler. 17-year-old Qu Ying is one of them. Not to mention her young age, she holds three championships and is regarded as a potential new star. Unexpectedly, Qu Ying was still a poor student at the bottom of her grades four years ago, and she was quite confused about life.

  Qu Ying is from the rural area of ​​Shuangliao City, Jilin Province. Because her father was ill, her mother offered her a book alone. Despite her hard work, her grades were still poor. In 2016, she was spotted by a sports school coach after a 100-meter race and was directly sent to Jilin Provincial Sports School to study hurdles.

  However, Qu Ying's track and field career was not smooth. On this big stage, she was a bit stunned.

  I thought I couldn’t go home, because many people at home looked at your jokes, and when they went back, they all commented on you, Qu Ying came back for fear and tiredness, and then kept thinking about insisting, since it came out, When you come to a big city, you can't go back to the countryside.

  [Commentary] Although Qu Ying did not have good grades, he was particularly serious in training, which attracted the attention of Liu Yang, the coach of the Jilin Provincial Sports School Wrestling Team.

  Because my personal relationship with their coaches is also very good, I asked him whether you think this child is suitable for hurdles? He said she would definitely not be able to do so. I said it mustn't act. Why did she practice that way? He said she likes training, and she wants to practice.

  [Commentary] With Liu Yang’s persuasion, Qu Ying joined the wrestling team. At that time, she could not know that she would soon get rid of the "bottom student" label and become a real champion.

  Her physical condition is not so good, but she is one thing that is unique to a champion or an excellent athlete, that is, she is persistent.

  [Commentary] In 2017, Qu Ying set foot on the stage of Jilin Province Wrestling Championship for the first time. Although the opponent was the last two champions, Qu Ying perfectly executed the coach's tactics and finally won the victory.

  At that time, my track and field teammates were envious of me. They said that they had won the provincial championship just half a year ago, and I felt lucky.

  [Commentary] After winning the championship, Qu Ying has a bigger goal. She has been training harder and is not idle on the weekend. In 2018, at the four-year Jilin Provincial Games, Qu Ying easily took the women's freestyle wrestling 65 kg championship into the bag. By convention, Qu Ying, who won the provincial championship, can only eat a second-class stove, but Liu Yang made an exception for her to eat a first-class stove. 15-year-old Qu Ying panic found the coach and asked if she had made a mistake.

At the second National Youth Games in 2019, Qu Ying’s final opponent was the champion of Asian youth wrestling. Facing a powerful opponent, Wang Bao's usual rigorous training had an effect, and finally helped Qu Ying to win the opponent by 2 points.

  The coaches I met attached great importance to me and pushed me when I was not able. They were all my teachers. I felt that I had no reason to be lazy. I should prove it to them and not let them down.
