Cover News Reporter Zhong Yuheng Chen Yuxiao Intern Zou Xing
At 2 pm, in the venue where the gymnastics blankets were pieced together, the students had just finished the morning exercises and went out to have a meal. Shu Siyao also relaxed and their eyes became close. She sat in front of the reporter, without the regulation of filters on social media, the real person showed more charm. With his waist and back straight and his feet arch tight, Shu Siyao still maintains his muscle memory of rhythmic gymnastics for four years after retirement.
In 2014, a high-difficulty photo of Shu Siyao became popular on the Internet
In her career, she collaborated with her teammates to win gold in the 2011 Asian Championships, once again winning the Asian title for Chinese artistic gymnastics, and also won the first gold medal in the World Cup for the Chinese team with her teammates in 2014. What really made her "break the circle" was a photo that became popular on the Internet 6 years ago. In the corridor of the national team dormitory, she took over the air to perform a horse in a horse, and was immediately called the new version of the "Goddess of One-Level" by netizens. In fact, this action requires extremely strong waist and legs control. Behind the static image are the sweat tears of Shu Siyao's more than 20 years of high-intensity training.
From the last to the first
In order to lose weight for three days, eat only one piece of chocolate
Recalling the youth training, all Shu Siyao's memories are leg pressing . "If I knew that the rhythmic gymnastics would be forced to squeeze my legs at the beginning, I might not have chosen it," Shu Siyao quipped.
She started practicing dancing at the age of three. She accidentally saw gymnastics equipment "played very well" in the hands of the older sisters with extraordinary temperament, which made her interested in rhythmic gymnastics. In 1999, Shu Siyao, who had good figures, was spotted by coach Zeng Mei and joined the provincial team at the age of seven.
At the beginning, Shu Siyao was not outstanding in all aspects. She was not a talented player. She was able to persist because of her motivation and toughness. "Others trained at 9:00, and I arrived at 8:30, and I started to move flexible in advance." What impressed Shu Siyao was her weight loss experience in the first two years. She had only more than 30 kilograms to run fifty or sixty laps around the 400-meter playground every day, saying that the three-day "food rations" were only a small piece of chocolate. "In order to control her weight, she even rinsed her mouth and vomited. Because the coach said that if her weight did not meet the standard, she would not take a holiday and would not be allowed to go home during the Chinese New Year, so she must work hard to get home," Shu Siyao recalled.
Lucky, Shu Siyao met her "Bo Le" here, coach Han Jie. At that time, Shu Siyao ranked last among the four Sichuan players, and it was Han Jie who discovered the hidden potential of this Luzhou girl. Under the strict requirements of the coach and self, Shu Siyao made a comeback and eventually grew into the No. 1 player in the team.
World Championships turnover missed London
Rio Olympics make up for regrets
2019 National Youth Games Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition, Shu Siyao's team member Zhao Yue won five gold medals in this group
In 2009, 17-year-old Shu Siyao was selected for the national team. In 2011, Shu Siyao, who had been preparing for personal events, was temporarily recruited to a collective event due to the lack of athletes' retirement. Six months of hasty training were not enough to achieve a perfect tacit understanding between the five. In the 2011 French World Championships, Shu Siyao and her teammates made a mistake in cooperation on the court, which led to the Chinese team being missed the Olympics. "The running-in time with teammates was too short. A lack of tacit understanding in cooperating with the action led to the ball being pushed out of bounds. In the end, he lost too many points and missed the final." Speaking of this, Shu Siyao was a little regretful.
After that, she switched back and forth between individuals and groups, and fell into a bottleneck of confusion and struggle after the 2013 National Games. She even considered retiring, "I think I might not be able to get away from the Olympics. In addition, training is very hard, and I felt that it would be good to come back to study for a while." But the national team coach happened to give her the opportunity to prepare for Rio at this time, which rekindled Shu Siyao's fighting spirit. "I hope I can become the last one to fall on the court. When others can't do it, I can hold on for a while."
2019 National Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship, player Zhao Yue won the Youth All-Around Championship
At the 2014 World Cup Hungary Station, Shu Siyao and his teammates won gold medals, achieving a breakthrough in the gold medal of Chinese Rhythmic Gymnastics Team in the World Cup. The following year, the Chinese team won the top eight collective events in the World Championships and qualified for the Rio Olympics. In 2016, Shu Siyao, who was already an old team member, led the rhythmic gymnastics team to Rio as the captain of the group event. Although the regret stopped in the first round, for her, it has made up for her failure to participate in the London Olympics.

Rio, Shu Siyao chose to retire and stay in the national team to become a coach. Due to the impact of the epidemic this year, she and the young players of the Sichuan team have temporarily returned to Chengdu for closed training.
leads the team member, Shu Siyao admitted that she has always been strict, but when she talked to reporters about her team member Zhao Yue, her words were full of pride and a faint feeling of care. Perhaps in this little girl, Shu Siyao saw her former self. "Zhao Yue and Zhao are extremely talented and have very good figures. But she has many injuries and has been persisting." Zhao Yue, 16 years old this year, is the No. 1 seed player in Sichuan Rhythm Gymnastics and has won the national championship again.
Removed the training suit. 28-year-old Shu Siyao is an ordinary girl who loves life and likes to sing and dance. On personal social platforms, she often posts some videos of herself dancing. Because of her beautiful appearance and gentle figure, Shu Siyao has also gained many fans.

I hope that more people can understand it, fall in love with it, and like it as much as I do."
