In the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, on the stage of the men's floor exercise finals, two athletes from the Chinese gymnastics team entered the finals, namely Li Chunyang and Li Xiaoshuang . In the game, the two Chinese team players faced a strong challenge from Japanese player Yukio Iketani, while Li Chunyang's poor performance in the finals caused serious mistakes in a row. In this case, the Chinese team wanted to be successful Winning the gold medal can only rely on Li Xiaoshuang's play.
And Li Xiaoshuang also realized that if he wanted to win this gold medal, he had to increase his difficulty score. At this time, Li Xiaoshuang boldly chose one of the most dangerous and difficult movements in the history of free exercise at that time, because Li Xiaoshuang knew clearly that only in this way could it be possible to surpass his opponent and win the gold medal. And this action is "three-week backflip". Because of the difficulty and danger of this action, ordinary athletes will not try it easily, and if it fails, it may cause a concussion. So this action is also called " Goldbach conjecture in gymnastics world". One can imagine how difficult this action is.
When it was Li Xiaoshuang's turn to play, Li Xiaoshuang's twin brother Li Dashuang realized that his brother had decided to fight hard and immediately rushed down from the stands to discourage him from using this dangerous move. Li Xiaoshuang also understood his brother's intentions and immediately asked the coaching staff to stop him. Next, it was Li Xiaoshuang's turn to compete on stage. Li Xiaoshuang, with a heavy face, knew how difficult it was for him to choose this action, but for the honor of the Chinese gymnastics team, he had to do it. When Li Xiaoshuang started the game, the audience remained quiet, and reporters and photographers on the sidelines were also watching Li Xiaoshuang. They were also eager to witness the most difficult jump in the history of world gymnastics.
In the competition, Li Xiaoshuang boldly used the "three-week backflip". He succeeded. Under the witness of countless spectators and reporters, he successfully completed this most difficult action in history.In the world's highest level competition, he completed difficult moves that others dared not choose. Li Xiaoshuang was also the first gymnast in gymnastics history to complete the "three-week backflip" in the world competition. Looking around the entire history of gymnastics, so far this movement has only been completed in 10 competitions.
However, when Li Xiaoshuang completed the free exercise, the referees on the scene were not daring to score. Some referees even called the International Federation of Sports for inquiries. Finally, after a temporary consultation by 10 referees With a super high score of 9.925, it surpassed Japanese player Yukio Ikeya to win the gold medal for the Chinese gymnastics team. It can be said that Li Xiaoshuang is risking his life and taking an absolute advantage to take the gold medal from the Japanese team abruptly. The gold medal of Li Xiaoshuang was also the only gymnastics gold medal of the Chinese gymnastics team in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. This year, Li Xiaoshuang was only 19 years old. And Li Xiaoshuang became famous because of this action.
Later, when Li Xiaoshuang recalled this experience, he said: "There is a Chinese saying that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. In those days, you had to become famous with such an action to let the world know you. Let the world know that there is a Li Xiaoshuang in Chinese gymnastics!" And Li Xiaoshuang did it, using moves that others could not complete, let his name resound in the world of gymnastics, and let the world know that Li Xiaoshuang is a gymnastics team from China!
