Chinanews.com client Beijing, 8 April (Wang Sishuo) The epidemic spread and the sports arena quiet. When I came to read the website casually a few days ago, I noticed that an updated content on the official website of the Chinese Gymnastics Association recorded 43 gymnastic movements named after Chinese athletes. When I think about it, I can't help but sigh. Two seemingly bland forms inadvertently tell the glory of China's gymnastics for decades.

As one of the six trophies of the Chinese sports delegation to win gold in the Olympics, the gymnastics team has been at the leading level in the world for a long time, and generations of athletes have continuously created "named moves" that symbolize new breakthroughs. Regardless of the Olympic stadium or the world championships, the famous Chinese gymnastics team is full of elites, and it is always an opponent that others dare not despise.

According to statistics from the Chinese Gymnastics Association, the number of gymnastics movements with the names of Chinese athletes has reached 43-23 men's movements, and the distribution of each event is relatively even; 20 women's movements are concentrated on uneven bars, balance beams and vaulting horses.

Three minutes on stage, ten years off the stage. Generations of athletes pursue perfection in arduous training and look for opportunities to get higher scores on the field. For the breakthrough of action, it is the further pursuit of outstanding athletes.
According to the official directory of the association, there are 43 gymnastics movements named after Chinese athletes, which undoubtedly confirms the influence of Chinese gymnastics. Although some of these movements are not as stunning as the one they were born, and some have gradually faded out of sight, this monument still illuminates the road of exploration for countless younger generations.

Four years ago, the Rio Olympic Games had no gold halberds, and it could not hide the glory of Chinese gymnastics in the past. Prior to Rio, they handed over 26 gold transcripts at eight consecutive summer Olympics and were truly a champion of the championship. The constantly emerging excellent players are also enough to be included in the history of Chinese sports.
When it comes to the origin of Chinese gymnastic pride, Ma Yanhong's name cannot be bypassed. Born in 1963, when she was less than 16 years old, she represented the Chinese team in the United States Fort Worth Gymnastics World Championships and won the gold medal on the uneven bars. On the stage of the world gymnastics competition, the Chinese team won the first gold as expected. The significance of Ma Yanhong to Chinese gymnastics can be described as epoch-making. In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, she once again dominated the uneven bars and became the first Chinese female gymnast to win gold in the Olympics.

The historic breakthrough stems from the sweat and tears of Ma Yanhong night and day, but also related to the "secret weapon" she carefully prepared. In the 1979 US World Championships, she used a very powerful strike to finalize the game. With a 360-degree flip of the back and back of the abdominal loops, such a difficult movement can be described as unprecedented. Two years later, at the World Championships, her movement was officially named "Ma Yanhongxia", which was also the first gymnastic movement named after the Chinese.
Data graph: The summer of 2008 is a day that every Chinese is impressed with. At 8 o'clock on the evening of August 8, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games was officially held at the "Bird's Nest". Li Ning, the "prince of gymnastics", hangs to a high altitude with a steel wire. After a week of "air walk", he lights the main torch of "Xiangyun" shape.
The Olympic gold medalist Li Ning of the Chinese gymnastics team, 24 years after the first blooming of the Olympic stage, as the last torchbearer of the Beijing Olympic Games, lit the main torch stand at the National Stadium "Tread" colorful Xiangyun. In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Li Ning won the men's floor exercise, pommel horse and ring three championships. Four years later, Li Ning's sports career came to an end, but his influence on future generations is far from over.

Today, there are four gymnastic movements named after him, distributed in three single items of pommel horse, rings, and parallel bars. The power and versatility of the first generation "Gymnastics Prince" can be seen from this.

The men ’s gymnastics team with relatively outstanding results in the World Championships and many names are still remembered to this day. Lou Yun, Li Xiaoshuang and Li Xiaopeng all supported the Chinese gymnastics at the peak of their careers. The actions they left behind are also handed down from generation to generation.
The uneven bars event has always been a strong event for Chinese women's gymnastics. Among the 20 named moves in the "Chinese Women's Gymnastics Naming Actions" form, the uneven bars occupy 14 seats. In addition to Ma Yanhong, who was the first to start, he had to mention the "mo-flip" which is highly ornamental.

At the 1994 Asian Games, Mo Huilan's performance on the uneven bars is destined to become a classic. In the complete set of moves, she not only completed the flexed split leg of Tkachev to cross the bar and back straight for two weeks, but also staged the "most difficult" of the highest difficulty group on the uneven bars, winning the championship in one fell swoop.
Due to its difficulty, some viewers mistakenly believe that the action is prohibited by the International Sports Federation, but in fact, the action is still on the action list. The reason why it is not used much in the game is that the bar cannot be seen in the air after the somersault. It is necessary for the athlete to grab the bar blindly when the team is in the air, and it is not easy to form a connection, which is inconsistent with the fluency of the current mainstream guidance of gymnastic uneven bars. . In 2013, Yao Jinnan also successfully copied "Mo Flip" in the all-around final of the World Gymnastics Championships.

In the women's movements, the "Cheng Fei Jump" on the vaulting single item is often mentioned by gymnastic enthusiasts. Its scientific name is the 180-degree flip of the back of the hand-the straight body is 540 degrees from the front empty flip, which is often chosen by top vault athletes so far. Mainstream difficulty. The competition was successfully used for the first time, dating back to the 2005 Melbourne World Championships. With this action, Cheng Fei won the vaulting horse championship.

Attentive readers may notice that in the latest form of the Chinese Gymnastics Association, there are still three actions marked in red. The remarks section explained that the red letters used to be the movements of the International Gymnastics Federation named after Chinese women gymnasts, but with the changes in the international gymnastics scoring rules, they are not reflected in the rules.

The implication is clear, but the three original movements of Chinese athletes have been “removed” from the current rules for a certain reason, and have been temporarily blocked in the history of gymnastics. Among them, Liu Xuan, known as China's "Gymnastics Queen", signed the 1996 Olympics Giant Swing.

At that time, Liu Xuan shocked the four seaters with a one-arm big loop in the game and took Jingle somersault. This action referenced the men's horizontal bar technology and had almost demanding strength. However, due to too much loss in the action rating, no connection points can be formed, and this action gradually faded out of sight.

The "Birth Turn" created by Bi Wenjing in the 1998 Macao River World Cup in Japan also came from the uneven bars project. Bi Wenjing, who grew up in Khorkina, determined to defeat this powerful enemy since she was 15 years old, and the magical action of "twisting the arm and turning the single arm to turn 360 degrees into a reverse handstand" finally let her in 3 years After wishing. Subsequently, her original action was also named by the International Federation of Sports as "Bi's turn".

In the women's balance beam project, the group's back flip somersault sitting movement, also created by Chinese player Chen Cuiting, was named "Chen Cuiting". Later, the International Sports Federation merged Chen Cuiting into the flexion cross, and also revised the scoring criteria for this action.
Although the Chinese gymnastics team suffered a frustrated ending on the last Olympic trip, this team will not shrink back in the face of the postponed Tokyo Olympics. Xiao Ruoteng, Lin Chaopan, Deng Shudi, Fan Yilin, Liu Tingting ... With regrets and unwillingness, there are many more stories waiting for them to continue writing. (Finish)
