For every athlete, winning an Olympic gold medal is the dream of a lifetime. However, many athletes spend their entire careers chasing this dream, only to be left with regret. Compared to these individuals, Chen Xuexia was incredibly lucky, as she managed to win a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics despite being injured.
