The picture caused netizens to leave comments and like: "Life is about to enter a new stage. Congratulations to Sister Anqi for becoming a mother." "Sister, I must be looking forward to it. Everything goes well and the baby grows up healthily." "The baby will definitely be an athlete in the future", "I'm so looking forward to it, another Olympic champion in China is about to welcome a baby", "The Olympic baby is here. Sister An Qi and her brother-in-law, who have been waiting for so long, must be happy forever" , "You can see that Sister An Qi is so happy, congratulations."
Xu Anqi, 30, was born in a sports family in Nanjing, Jiangsu. Her father is a basketball player and her mother has practiced track and field. Inheriting the excellent sports genes of her parents, Xu Anqi first started practicing basketball. It was not until she was 12 years old that she was selected by the fencing coach to change the sport. With her excellent physical fitness, Xu Anqi was selected for the Chinese fencing national team only five years after receiving professional fencing training. Representing the Chinese team in the World Championships for the first time, Xu Anqi reached the top 8, showing her extremely high talent.
At the 2012 London Olympics, Xu Anqi, who was originally a substitute, was sent on the field at the critical moment, and made great contributions to the Chinese team's victory in the women's epee team gold medal. This was also the first Olympic team gold medal in the history of Chinese fencing. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Xu Anqi has grown into the main force and helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win the women's epee team silver medal, standing on the podium in two consecutive Olympic Games. At the Tokyo Olympics, due to the accidental injury of the individual champion Sun Yiwen, Xu Anqi, who served as a substitute, once again stepped in to appear in the team competition and won fourth place. Xu Anqi's husband was also a professional fencing athlete. The two got married in 2016 and welcomed their first baby six years after their marriage.
