The end is also the beginning -the restart of a skateboard champion champion

Gao Qunxiang was lying in the medical room and learned that he won the Gold Medal of the National Games.

On September 11, 2021, at the skateboarding group final of the 14th National Games, Gao Qunxiang, a domestic skateboarding leader at the top of the list, made a mistake when preparing the fourth round of "big tricks", and his right leg was "smashed. "On the ground. Opening his eyes was stabbed by the scorching sun, but he couldn't stand up with his hands, and was eventually lifted by the stretcher.

"'Big Terminal' is the skill competition after the two -wheeled line taxi, which is the‘ killer ’that opened the gap.” Recalling the scene during the competition, Gao Qunxiang, 20, said that his mind was chaotic.

Fortunately, with the advantages of the previous rounds of accumulation, Gao Qunxiang kept this hard -won Gold Medal. But the result of the nuclear magnetic resonance after the game allowed his skateboarding to compete in that day.

"Cross ligament tears, plus half -moon plate and calf bone damage." Gao Qunxiang lifted his trousers, and the protective gear was tightly wrapped around his knees.

From the age of 5, he practiced skateboarding, Gao Qunxiang lost countless injuries, and even two front teeth were broken. He wore fake teeth on weekdays. He said: "Every time I hurt my right leg, I changed the parts and amplitude of my efforts over time, and I would continue to be injured."

"Baby is a big drop all the way." Gao Qunxiang's father, Gao Yong sighed, told reporters, "Gao Qunxiang was anxious since he was a child, and he liked him quickly.

The ancient city of Xi'an is not a developed area of ​​skateboarding, but it is the "twisting" of "falling and practicing" by this child. Gao Qunxiang won the national championship for the first time in 2012. In 2017, he won the national professional skateboarding championship and won one year later to become the "first person" in the domestic skateboarding industry.

In 2018, he went to the Asian Games with his cousin Sun Kunkun, on behalf of the Chinese team to break into the top eight of the skateboarding project, the top eight. "Both of us were a little conservative at the time, and I didn't dare to do very skilled movements." Sun Kunkun, who was also trapped by injuries and status at the moment, said, "We all thought there would be many international competitions in the future, but sometimes there were only opportunities to have only opportunities. once."

The dream of standing on the stage of the competition was pressed on the terminal, but the acceleration key was pressed for the new start. After the National Games, Gao Qunxiang lying in the hospital told his family the thoughts in the heart.

"Actually, even if it is not injured, I have considered opening a skateboarding park." Gao Qunxiang said that he was trained on the rugged road. If he had a high standard site since he was a child, he might have achieved better results under his father's guidance. Essence

"Many supporters have accumulated on the skateboard. The blessings after my injury make me warm. I want more people to participate and fall in love with the sport." He said.

Relying on the bonuses accumulated by Gao Qunxiang in the National Games and other competitions, the family sees a factory in the industrial park in the western suburbs of Xi'an. The 1,000 -square -meter venue is under the plan of the Shanghai Extreme Sports Design Team. Professional and personality skate park. When creating the venue, Gao Qunxiang and Sun Kunkun also joined their own ideas, hoping to create a stronger skateboard atmosphere in Xi'an, and came out of more future stars from here.

Because of the requirements for excellence in facilities, the opening date of the skateboarding park has been dragged from July to August, and basically missed the golden period of the youth sports training in the summer vacation. Recently, the huge venue was slightly deserted most of the time, but Gao Qunxiang still entered the park every day. When he was idle, he wiped the rows of skateboards on the wall and wiped it.

Gao Yong, who also run skate training in Xi'an, also take a look from time to time. "I advise him to be patient. He is anxious, and he must go through some things that need to be invested for a long time to see the return." Gao Yong said.

"I can't slide such a good venue in front of me, and I feel too uncomfortable." Gao Qunxiang said that he felt that his body was recovering in March this year, and he tried to step on the skateboard again, but he recurred in less than a month. Do not stop "come back".

Gao Qunxiang did not show very annoyance in the incident of unable to continue the competitive career. After all, for this big boy, life is still long.

"I like skateboarding because it can bring me happiness at any time, complete a new set of movements, and make me happy as getting gold medals. If I can bring out a good apprentice, I am also happy."

He said that he was the kind of person who had thoughts in his mind but couldn't say in his mouth, and taught students to do that move first. This allowed him to make a thorough rehabilitation treatment. During this time, he plans to go to Beijing for a month of recovery. Even if he is most optimistic, he can only return to 70 % or 80 % of the past, but it is more than enough to bring youth training.

"That's a new beginning." Gao Qunxiang smiled and dialed the brim of the duck tongue, and continued: "Just like a sentence I particularly like -‘ start skateboarding, when it ’s not too late’. ”
