(Central News Agency reporter Li Jianzhong, Taipei, 24th) Zheng Chengyou, who is in the second grade of Central China at Datong High School in Taipei City, won double gold medals in competitive gymnastics floor and vault in the National Men’s National Games today, and his father is the coach of Taiwan’s national gymnastics team Zheng Kunjie.
Zheng Chengyou competed in the final day of competitive gymnastics at the National Games today. He won the individual floor gold medal with a total score of 12.466 points and the individual vault gold medal with 13.116 points. He won two gold medals in one day, making Zheng Kunjie who was watching the competition smile.
In an interview with a reporter from Central News Agency, Zheng Kunjie said that he usually spends most of his time in national training. If he returns to Taipei, he will help his son watch the movements. “But usually we communicate constantly, or watch videos to discuss how to do better.”
Zheng Kunjie revealed that in fact, Zheng Chengyou accidentally injured his elbow when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Although he recovered in the sixth grade, he didn’t know why it relapsed when he was promoted to junior high school. At that time, he couldn’t straighten his hand. “At that time, we all wanted to say, we should just Stop practicing.”
Unexpectedly, Zheng Chengyou insisted on practicing. Last year, he participated in the National Games for the first time in the National Games. Although he made it to the finals, his movements were not proficient enough and he did not win a medal. It was not until this year that he won the double gold medal, polishing the signatures of himself and his father.
Zheng Chengyou said: “In fact, there is no pressure. Instead, I can communicate with my father freely. Even though my father may not be in Taipei or even in China often, he still gives me a lot of useful advice.”
Zheng Chengyou has been in and out of the gymnasium with his father since he was a child, and naturally he gradually became interested. Zheng Chengyou ran extremely fast in short distances at the school sports meeting. Such excellent foot strength also made Zheng Kunjie decide to introduce his son to the world of gymnastics.
Zheng Kunjie said, “I often use Tang Jiahong, Li Zhikai, and Xiao Youran as examples to tell my son that if he wants to continue on the road of gymnastics, there must be one individual event that is particularly strong, so we decided to focus on floor and On the two items of vault” (Editor: Zhang Yajing) 1130424.
