At the 2021 top ten sports awards ceremony in Zhejiang province held last night, Olympic champion Guan Chenchen won the Best Breakthrough Award. On this occasion, Guan Chenchen responded positively to the issue of retirement. In the future, she will focus on her studies.

At the Tokyo Olympic Games held last year, relying on the huge advantage brought by the super difficulty, only 16-year-old Guan Chenchen rode out of the dust and finally won the gold medal of gymnastics women’s balance beam. In the final, she also made an arrangement like “Kangaroo shake” popular in the world.

As the player of the Chinese gymnastics team who made the final debut in the Tokyo Olympic Games, Guan Chenchen, who was on the highest podium, made the whole team’s trip come to a successful conclusion.

“Ambassador for the promotion of ice and snow sports”, “Ambassador of China Ci Xiao culture”…… In the year after the Tokyo Olympics, Guan Chenchen had a new identity. She used her influence to help promote winter projects, and at the same time she also spoke out for Chinese traditional culture.

These new identities also include “college students”. On April this year, Guan Chenchen was sent to Zhejiang University. In late August, she reported to Zhejiang University with her parents.

Guan Chenchen is looking forward to the campus life. She also updated the social media: “The students are starting school. Next, I will use VLOG to record and share my college life, let’s cheer together!”

While Guan Chenchen was about to start campus life, rumors about her farewell to the stadium were heard. At the beginning of last month, the entry of “Guan Chenchen is about to retire” was on the overheating search, but she herself has not given a public response to this.

Now, the answer is finally revealed. In Guan Chenchen’s own words, she was on her way to retirement and was in the state of “retired but not completely retired. It is understood that Guan Chenchen has submitted an application for retirement, but has not received the relevant approval.

At present, Guan Chenchen shifts the focus of life from training to study, “I don’t practice now, and I will focus on study later.” In the next four years, “college student” is her most important identity.

Guan Chenchen, born on September 25, 2004, will celebrate his 18th birthday in two weeks. She began to contact gymnastics when she was very young, initially because of “fun”.

Guan Chenchen belongs to the kind of person who loves to move and can’t stay idle. Balance beam and high-low bar of these instruments make her feel very interesting. “Due to age, my enlightenment coach at that time thought that I might not be suitable for gymnastics. But I clamored myself that I must practice.”

In this way, Guan Chenchen grew up all the way and entered the national team at the end of 2017. Finally, he boarded the stage of Tokyo Olympic Games and realized his dream with a heavy gold medal.

“The best breakthrough” is not only the award that Guan Chenchen won this time, but also the best interpretation of her athlete career. Now, Guan Chenchen is ready to welcome a new breakthrough.

After returning from the Tokyo Olympic Games trip, Guan Chenchen once said in an exclusive interview with China New Sports that his biggest change was the improvement of self-confidence. As an athlete’s experience in the Olympic Games, it will help Guan Chenchen face the next campus life more calmly and have a longer-term future.

People often say that life is like living single-plank bridge. Guan Chenchen has experienced the feeling of “over single-plank bridge” countless times. I believe that she will embrace a more wonderful tomorrow if she is on the ground on balance beam.

Guan Chenchen, come on!
