From January 1, 2007, the new column "My Olympics" of CCTV-5 will meet the audience. Each episode of "My Olympics" tells the story of a sportsman and the Olympics. There are athletes and sportsmen behind the scenes. On March 30th, I will tell you the story of Wu Peng.
In the Doha Asian Games, the 200-meter disc swim competition is going on, and Chinese player Wu Peng won the gold medal by an absolute advantage. Over the past two years, Wu Peng always celebrated his victory in this way: raising his arms and looking up at the sky.
"I always believed that my dad would look at me in the sky." Wu Peng thought of his late father. When he arrived at Wu Peng's house, his mother took out all the photos of Wu Peng from childhood to adulthood for reporters to see. Wu Peng was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang in 1987. When he was 4 years old, his mother sent him to learn to swim. Wu Peng’s mother took out a photo of him when he was 4 years old: “He was still very fat at the time. We thought about learning to swim and let him lose weight. ". The photos of Wu Peng and his father in the album accounted for the vast majority. "My dad has spoiled me since I was a child. I never remembered that my dad had beaten me. They were all proud of me." Wu Peng's love for his father is always there.
"When I watched the Olympics, I was still in elementary school and had already won the children's championship in the province. At that time, I was watching Jiang Chengji won the fourth place in the 50-meter freestyle and 200-meter disc swimming in the Olympics. The best performance in short-distance swimming in the Olympics was when Le Jingyi won the 100-meter freestyle championship. At that time, she wondered why Chinese male athletes could not win medals," said Wu Peng. At that time, Wu Peng made an agreement with his father: "Dad, I really hope to grow up quickly and be the first person to win a medal in the Olympic Games for Chinese men's swimming."
Entering the national team at the age of 14 and becoming an Asian champion at the age of 15, Wu Peng is getting closer and closer to his agreement, but farther and farther from home. On the eve of the 2004 City Games, Wu Peng had a chance to reunite with his family. "It was my dad who came to pick me up from school. I saw my dad sweating a lot, breathing very fast, and his face was very ugly. He told me the last words of this life. He said, "Son, I am not particularly comfortable. I went to the hospital to take a look, and then fainted." Wu Peng recalled that time was bursting with tears. Wu Peng’s father was admitted to the hospital because of a myocardial infarction, but Wu Peng had to leave Hangzhou to participate in the competition because of the game. The last side of my father. On the day Wu Peng set off, his father’s life came to an end. "The day my dad’s accident happened, I was going to have a game the next day. At the time, my headache was so terrible and I didn’t sleep all night. I already knew that my father was in an accident, and I could not tell me," said Wu Peng. Wu Peng won four gold medals in the City Games at that time. On the plane back, the coach told Wu Peng about his father's death. At that time, I heard it and I felt that I was unaware. When I got off the plane, my mother was already crying. Although my father is no longer there, I believe my dad must be watching me playing in the sky." Wu Peng said.
In 2004, Wu Peng participated in the Athens Olympics and won only sixth place in the 200-meter dish. "It was very windy that day. At that time, I was too young and did not get good results. But I think I will stand on the Olympic podium in 2008. My dad told me since childhood that an athlete can only stand in the Olympics to receive awards. That's the most glorious on stage." Wu Peng remembered his father's teachings in his heart. My wish is to stand on the podium of the Olympics. My Olympics is a promise.
