She is the world's first female giant, half a head taller than Yao Ming, wearing size 78 shoes, and able to eat two catties of rice and six bowls of noodles every day. However, behind her towering height that broke the Guinness record, there are endless troubles. Besides the various inconveniences in daily life, she also suffers from the torment of illness. Why did she grow so tall? What stories are there in her life? Born in an ordinary village in Anhui Province in 1972, Yao Defen's parents were simple farmers who made a living by farming, with very unstable income. Yao Defen was unusually tall since childhood, standing out among other children of the same age by a big margin at the age of three or four. When she started elementary school, her height skyrocketed, and she was as tall as an adult at the age of 10. Her parents originally thought their daughter would stop growing at around 1.7 meters, but they didn't expect Yao Defen's height to continue to soar after entering junior high school. Moreover, her appetite grew larger and larger, and she could eat more than the whole family in one meal. During her junior high school years, she had to eat two catties of rice and six bowls of noodles every day just to barely satisfy her hunger. By the time she was 15, Yao Defen had already exceeded two meters in height, standing taller than the teacher on the podium by one or two heads. To avoid affecting the classes of other students,…

In recent days, there have been many rumors online that the Guangdong team wants to make a trade with the Jiangsu team, which is to exchange the young forward Peng Shijun with the Jiangsu team's backcourt player Cui Xiaolong. This transaction can be said to have a lot of room for operation. Why is this so? Mainly because both of them have had some conflicts with their teams, and they seem unwilling to play for their respective teams. Peng Shijun is considered a super rookie on the Guangdong team's front line. When he was in the youth team, Peng Shijun was a "big king" on the court, so both the team and Guangdong team fans have very high expectations for him. However, it is regrettable that he has been in conflict with the Guangdong team for more than two seasons. It seems that neither side looks at each other pleasingly. This season, the Guangdong team did not even register him, meaning that Peng Shijun is now unemployed. Since he still has relevant contracts with the Guangdong team previously, it is also difficult for him to go to other CBA teams to play privately. In order to maintain his state, according to understanding, Peng Shijun is currently training in Nanjing. As for Cui Xiaolong? This season, it seems that he is also unhappy with the Jiangsu team. In recent times, he was directly benched by the Jiangsu team's head coach Yi Li, and did not get any playing time at all. Obviously, the conflict between Cui Xiaolong and the Jiangsu team…

Currently, although the league is still in the offseason, the TaiShan team has once again become a focus of attention. The issue of whether the team's head coach Choi Kang-hee will stay or leave has not been resolved. Although Choi Kang-hee previously announced in South Korea that he had terminated his contract, the relevant person in charge of the TaiShan team also refuted the rumors, and the "tug-of-war" between the two sides continues. With the end of the team's vacation and the upcoming winter training for the players, the TaiShan team urgently needs to resolve the issue of the head coach. This undoubtedly adds another layer of mystery to the already turbulent TaiShan team. The intensifying contradictions between Choi Kang-hee and the TaiShan team are like the silent accumulation before a volcanic eruption, which eventually erupted completely. The club deprived Choi Kang-hee of the decision-making power in player recruitment, which was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. After all, a coach's tactical philosophy largely relies on suitable players to implement it. Losing the autonomy in player recruitment means that Choi Kang-hee's tactical ideas may not be implemented, which is a fatal blow to a coach who excels in tactics. It's like an artist without paint and canvas, how can they create a masterpiece that amazes the world? Furthermore, this directly affects the team's performance, and in the long run, it will directly affect the reputation of the club and the coach himself. Therefore, the intensification of contradictions and the eventual rupture between the two sides seem not…

The Nation Will Not Tolerate Wang Meng: 77 Gold Medals Do Not Represent Everything, Arrogance and Rudeness Will Only Lead to Rejection The incredibly domineering phrase "My eyes are the measure!" comes from Wang Meng, a legendary figure in Chinese speed skating, known as the "Short Track Speed Skating Overlord." Her career has been nothing short of brilliant, with a total of 77 gold medals, countless honors, and endless glory. However, Wang Meng has also made many mistakes due to her arrogance and self-importance, not only being expelled from the national team three times but also remaining unforgiven to this day. So, what exactly did Wang Meng do? Speed Skating Legend Born in 1984 in Qitaihe, Heilongjiang, a land filled with vitality and resilience, Wang Meng entered the world. Perhaps it was the ice and snow of the north that endowed her with agility and tenacity, and from an early age, she showed a strong and pure interest in sports: whether on the school playground or in the community's simple sports venues, one could always see her small, energetic figure. At the age of ten, fate began to turn its gears, and an experienced and discerning short track speed skating coach discovered the unique brilliance hidden within Wang Meng among the crowd. Wang Meng thus stepped through the door of short track speed skating training, embarking on a journey filled with challenges and dreams. Although training is undoubtedly arduous for a ten-year-old child, Wang Meng's stubbornness and love for sports in her bones never gave her the thought of retreating.…

In 2024, Ricardo Kaka, the 42-year-old football legend, broke his nine years of silence and publicly responded to the truth behind his divorce from his ex-wife, Caroline. The strong and handsome "World Footballer of the Year" candidly expressed his sense of powerlessness during the breakdown of his marriage: "I did my best, but even after being single for a year, I couldn't win her back." Speaking of the football world's Ricardo, known as "Kaka," he has captured the pursuit of fans worldwide. Born in Gama, Brazil in 1982, he was a wealthy young man who displayed smooth football skills on the green field since childhood. Did you know that the nickname "Kaka" was first called by his mischievous and cute younger brother? When he was young, his brother found it difficult to pronounce his name clearly, so he simply called him "Kaka." Little did they know that this nickname would follow Kaka and become famous around the world. At the age of 8, Kaka was spotted by a local club and recruited. By the age of 15, he was already able to lift the championship trophy with his team. He was truly a prodigy, full of youthful spirit. However, fortune is fickle. In 2000, Kaka suffered an unfortunate accident while swimming, severely injuring his spine, almost leaving him unable to move his legs. At that time, many people were wishing for his recovery. Amazingly, Kaka recovered completely after more than 50 days, without any visible problems. In 2001, Kaka made his debut in professional football, impressing with his performance and…

Is White Magic leaving? There's too much news about this player, and he's always unhappy. People like this can't stay. It's better to send him away so that no one suffers. Before the draft, didn't his coach say something bad about him? At that time, everyone thought, where could there be such a coach who speaks ill of his own players? Now everyone should understand that no coach can teach him. He's not a big name, so how could Udoka's character accommodate him? The next step is to see what White Magic can be traded for, whether it's the first round, second round, or nothing. Why did I suddenly think of the scene when Little Porter was abandoned by his mother team? The Rockets thought they had found a treasure, but as we all know now, Amon is really good. He listens to whatever position he's told to play and does whatever work is assigned without complaining. He has accumulated bit by bit through hard training and has now become an indispensable role. Status is earned on the court, and White Magic's offense is indeed good, but in the Rockets, it's really over. If he leaves, it will also make room for Little Xie to come back and level up. White Magic has a tendency to be a troublemaker. After playing well in one game, he thinks he's great and that the whole team should revolve around him and set special tactics for him. His positioning is inaccurate; he hasn't fully grasped his role (as you can see from the…

The Shanghai team has unleashed a storm of consecutive victories in the CBA league, stunning the basketball world with their fourteen-game winning streak. This wave of victories not only has fans' blood boiling but also has aroused curiosity from the outside world about the rise of the Shanghai team. What is the reason that allows the Shanghai team to break through like bamboo shoots after a rain and defeat strong opponents one after another? Coach Lu Wei's revelations have uncovered the truth behind this. Intense Perimeter Training - The Guarantee of Accurate Shooting Lu Wei pointed out that intense perimeter training is one of the key factors for Shanghai's success. In modern basketball games, the shooting percentage from beyond the arc often determines the direction of the game. The Shanghai team is well aware of this, so they have conducted high-intensity training on their players' perimeter shooting skills during regular practice. Statistics show that Shanghai's shooting percentage ranks among the top three in the entire league. This is not by chance but the result of the team's long-term commitment to rigorous training. Players repeatedly practice shooting actions in training to improve their shooting stability. Whether it's from beyond the three-point line or mid-to-long-range shooting, Shanghai's players have shown an extremely high shooting percentage. For example, in previous games, Shanghai's perimeter players have repeatedly hit crucial three-pointers, laying a solid foundation for the team's victory. This precise shooting ability not only makes it difficult for opponents to defend but also provides more options for the team on the offensive end. Fast…

With the opening of the Chinese Super League (CSL) winter transfer window, news about transfers has been pouring in. As the reigning champions of the CSL, Harbor FC has been particularly active with transfer rumors. According to the latest report from "Sports Weekly," Harbor FC has essentially secured Matheus Vital, the tough midfielder from Brazilian club Cruzeiro, pending an official announcement. It is reported that as early as before Christmas, Harbor FC had contact with Matheus Vital. At the time, many teams were pursuing him, and he was once close to transferring to a Mexican club. However, Harbor FC ultimately won Vital's favor with their advantages and sincerity. Vital was not included in the list of players who traveled to the United States for training last weekend and has been listed among the team's 10 players set to leave. Notably, it is said that his transfer fee is less than 400,000 euros. If this is true, considering his performance in the Brazilian league, it would be a great deal. Harbor FC has effectively bought a big treasure at a bargain price. After the 2024 season, Harbor FC quickly identified Vital as a key target for recruitment. Vital is only 26 years old, in his prime. As a versatile midfielder, he can play as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, and even on the wing, with very comprehensive skills and strong tactical adaptability, capable of injecting new vitality into Harbor's midfield creativity. According to sources, the Harbor coaching staff prefers to have Vital replace Chi Tadini, taking on a role similar to…
