When Xu Shixiao went to work as usual, she was surprised to get a call from her former coach, inquiring about her willingness to return to canoeing(划独木舟) and compete in the Tokyo Olympic Games. Xu quickly made her decision. She quitted her job as a human resources manager and went back to training. On Aug. 7, Xu and her partner, Sun Mengya, won gold in the first ever women’s canoe double 500m event at the Tokyo Games. It was also the first Olympic gold medal for China in the event.
Yet Xu’s journey to the Olympics was bumpy(崎岖的)—she faced lots of difficulties, such as her physical condition after years of retirement and her parents’ opposition. Xu said, “I didn’t want to regret not competing for a gold medal. I desired to be a champion. I had nothing to lose even if I failed.”
To catch the opportunity to go back to canoeing on the international level, Xu started her training-“as cruel as hell”. She began her daily exercises at 6 am and ended at 10:30 pm. Every day, she would set several detailed goals for her training. “Only when I reached all my daily goals, I would go ashore,” Xu said. The more than two months of grueling(紧张的) training finally paid off.
Xu’s coach, Peng Hao, says Xu is an excellent athlete. “She made all efforts to reach the goal and never gave up. She has a strong heart to face high pressure.”
