China's First Female Olympic Champion, After Serving as a Deputy Section Chief, Is Still Unfulfilled and Later Relocates Her Family to the United States Introduction: Our country's first female Olympic champion, who brought glory to the nation, should have been respected by everyone. However, in reality, she has been controversial. During her Olympic career, she achieved excellent results. After retiring and entering politics, she rose to the rank of deputy section chief, which is indeed an enviable life experience, but it was all achieved through her own efforts. Unexpectedly, she was not satisfied with this and later resigned resolutely, moving her family to the United States. So, who is she? And why did she make such a choice? Accidental Encounter Becomes Olympic Champion: Wu Xiaoxuan's connection with shooting sports was purely accidental, stemming from a neighbor's invitation. In 1973, at the age of 15, Wu Xiaoxuan was asked by a neighbor if she wanted to go shooting. The conditions were simple: good eyesight, big eyes, and a well-proportioned figure. Coincidentally, Wu Xiaoxuan met these conditions and thus stepped into the door of the Hangzhou Shooting Club. Upon her first contact with shooting, Wu Xiaoxuan was deeply attracted to the sport. Shooting requires focus, steady hands, and maintaining the position of the gun when pulling the trigger, which made her feel capable. Perhaps due to natural talent, the club's coach quickly invited her to stay for training. Thus, Wu Xiaoxuan began her indissoluble bond with shooting. However, professional shooting training is no easy feat. Transitioning from amateur to professional means facing…

After leaving Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remained unemployed for a long time, with some speculating that he might retire from coaching altogether. However, the 51-year-old has now returned to the field. According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Solskjaer has agreed to coach the Turkish Super League giants Besiktas. During his playing career, Solskjaer only played for two teams: Norway's Molde club and the English Premier League's Manchester United. He spent a total of 11 years at Manchester United. In 2007, Solskjaer retired from Manchester United and subsequently began his coaching career. In December 2018, following Jose Mourinho's departure, Solskjaer became the interim manager of Manchester United. Due to his remarkable achievements, he was soon appointed as the permanent manager. In November 2021, Solskjaer was relieved of his duties, concluding nearly three years as the head coach of Manchester United. After leaving Manchester United, Solskjaer seemed to have lost interest in coaching, rejecting offers from multiple clubs. In interviews, he stated that he is not short of money and would not compromise himself for financial reasons. There were reports that Solskjaer only wanted to coach Manchester United and the Norwegian national team, disregarding other teams. Now, Solskjaer has changed his mind. Under the persistent invitation of Besiktas, Solskjaer has terminated his contract. Romano reported that Solskjaer will travel to Turkey today to sign a contract with Besiktas, with the agreement set to last until June 2026. This season, Besiktas' performance has been less than ideal, currently ranking sixth in the Turkish Super League, trailing the top by a significant 20…

In the early hours of today, a fierce battle unfolded in the 21st round of the Premier League, with Manchester United hosting Southampton at their home ground. In the first half, Ugart scored an own goal, and in the closing stages of the second half, Diawara scored three goals within 12 minutes, helping Manchester United to a 3-1 comeback victory over Southampton. However, it was Anthony's wasted open goal opportunity in the 59th minute after coming on as a substitute in the second half that sparked heated debate. Let's take a look. Ganacho broke into the left side of the penalty area and then crossed the ball in front of the goal. Anthony followed up to meet the ball and shoot. Just as everyone thought Anthony was about to score as a substitute, an astonishing moment occurred. Anthony, facing an open goal, actually kicked the ball towards the opposing goalkeeper, who then easily saved it. It can be said that Anthony really missed a golden opportunity for an open goal. Normally, a goal like this could be scored with your eyes closed, but in Anthony's feet, it turned into an impossible chance. This incident has sparked heated discussions among fans. Fan 1 said: "It's harder to miss this ball than to score." Fan 2 said: "He blushed after kicking it himself, it was too abstract."

Multiple tennis legends have analyzed the roots of Zheng Qinwen's defeat, describing her as being "outmaneuvered by the 'Spiritual Teaching'" in her second-round loss at the Australian Open to Siegemund. Experts from the renowned international tennis website Tennis Channel used four words to describe Zheng Qinwen's defeat in the second round of the Australian Open against Siegemund: "baffling." "This is a player who has won an Olympic gold medal and reached the Australian Open final last year," said tennis journalist Jon Wertheim. "It's not that she was guaranteed to win the Australian Open, but to lose to someone who is almost 37 years old?" Siegemund, a seasoned veteran currently ranked 97th in the world, demonstrated a frustratingly diverse playing style on Court Cain, defeating the fifth-seeded Zheng Qinwen with a score of 7-6(3) 6-3, thanks to her success in doubles matches over the years. "If you look at the top 100 or 150 players in women's tennis, very few use slice shots anymore," pointed out former world No. 1 Davenport. "One reason Barty was so successful was that she was not only an excellent player but also because, in her era, few players were accustomed to dealing with slice shots." Davenport analyzed: "Siegemund is a master of the slice shot. She plays drop shots, slices, and lob shots. Her goal is to give her opponent no sense of rhythm. For Zheng Qinwen, she did not play at her best and could not find a way to establish a rhythm to integrate herself into the game. This also proves Siegemund's ability;…

In the early hours of January 17th, Beijing time, the defending champions Al-Hilal scored a resounding 9-0 victory over Al-Fateh, the bottom team in the Saudi League, in a focus match of the 15th round. As a battle between the top and bottom of the Saudi League standings, the outcome of the game seemed to have little suspense. Despite Al-Fateh's resistance against Al-Hilal's attacks in the first 20 minutes, their psychological defense was completely shattered after Koulibaly's header broke the deadlock in the 20th minute. Al-Hilal led 4-0 at halftime. In the second half, Al-Hilal scored another five goals, with Leonardo completing a hat-trick. This score also tied the record for the largest margin of victory in Saudi League history, which was previously held by Al-Hilal. Last season in the 14th round of the Saudi League, Al-Hilal won 9-0 away against Al-Hazem. Furthermore, Leonardo's hat-trick goal was the 1000th goal scored by Al-Hilal in the Saudi League, making them the first team in the league's history to achieve this feat. After this overwhelming victory, Al-Hilal has won four consecutive league games, accumulating 40 points to continue leading the standings. After only 15 rounds, Al-Hilal has scored an impressive 48 goals. They also hold a significant advantage with 34 goal difference, far surpassing Al Ittihad Jeddah. If the two teams were to decide the league championship based on goal difference, Al-Hilal would undoubtedly be in a favorable position.
