In fact, as an athlete, I am actually quite successful, because I have won all the gold medals.
Because of age or the "old athlete" label made me give up, I don't think it's very thoughtful or reluctant for me.
The first is a pity, and the second is that I can't let it go. I can continue to make some contributions to this project and make some contributions.

Some of our athletes were injured on the skates, and their bodies were scratched, and they seldom told their family members. Later, after your parents learned about your injury, they only knew that you were injured when they saw the injury, and they asked why What's going on.
When asked if I was "tired", I also said "I'm not tired, it's fine now, and there is no problem with training".

I have been waiting for this opportunity in my heart, and I have been holding back this energy, so when she (Xu Mengtao) won the championship, I felt so excited that she was not surprised at all, and it was not surprising to me at all.
I can understand what kind of mood she was in at that time. When she won the championship, I was crying all the time.
