At the age of 6, Guan Chenchen had his first contact with gymnastics.
With talent, love and hard work, in 2012, she was only 8 years old and entered the Zhejiang gymnastics team.
Speaking of gymnastics, Guan Chenchen told reporters that when she was a child, she also felt distressed due to the exhaustion of training.
Whenever she felt that she couldn't stick to it, the coach who was also a teacher and a friend used to guide her over and over again, so that she finally chose to clenched her teeth and persisted.
"It's not difficult to give up, but it must be cool to persist." In the women's gymnastics balance beam event of the Tokyo Olympics on August 3, Guan Chenchen successfully won a gold medal for the Chinese team with a good score of 14.633 points.
Guan Chenchen was surprised by the gold this time.
After seeing the score from the playing field, her first reaction was "Is this my score?"
But soon, she calmed down.
The gymnasts perfectly presented each movement in front of the audience, and Guan Chenchen knew that this was not just his own contribution.
Coaches, psychological counselors, team doctors, and even teammates... Behind her there is a loving and powerful team, "We get along like friends, sometimes singing and dancing with everyone, many troubles disappear."
