Once a king in the boxing world, why did he fall into a debt trap after retirement? Zou Shiming, a figure who once made waves in the boxing circle, actually took a big fall on his entrepreneurial path after retirement. You might think such a plot is overly dramatic, but unfortunately, this is what really happened - from top boxer to being mired in 200 million yuan of debt, Zou Shiming's entrepreneurial journey was filled with conflicts between hope and disappointment, dreams and reality. When it comes to Zou Shiming, you must surely recall the moment he won the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. His skills were exquisite, his spirit firm, creating countless memories for the audience. Moreover, this gold medal not only made Zou Shiming a household sports star but also brought him generous bonuses and endorsement contracts. It can be said that at that time, he stood at the pinnacle of life, with wealth and honor doubled. After retiring, Zou Shiming did not choose to live a leisurely life like many athletes, but instead started his own entrepreneurial journey. This seemed like a natural choice, after all, he had fame, resources, and more importantly, an unwillingness to be ordinary. He and his wife, Ran Yingying, opened boxing gyms across the country, trying to turn their profession into a fitness project loved by the public. Boxing, once a sport full of fierce competition, seemed to have been given new meaning in their hands. However, entrepreneurship is not as simple as imagined. The opening of the boxing gym…

One punch after another built his empire, but in the end, it was all lost to entrepreneurship. In the summer of 2017, Zou Shiming stood at a crossroads in his life. A two-time Olympic gold medalist and WBO world boxing champion, this Chinese hero who once swept through the global boxing arena suddenly announced his retirement. Boxing was his life, his everything. For an athlete who had been fighting on the ring for more than twenty years, this decision was almost unbelievable. What was even more unexpected was that after retiring, Zou Shiming actually chose to start a business. From being a world boxing champion to a new entrepreneur, he seemed to have left himself no way out. However, the difficulties brought by entrepreneurship made him extremely anxious and confused. Without the smoke of the boxing ring, what replaced it was day after day of anxiety and a sense of powerlessness. At first, Zou Shiming and his wife, Ran Yingying, set out with hope, carrying their past glory and accumulated wealth into the commercial realm. People had high hopes for them, believing that the aura of two Olympic champions would allow them to make a name for themselves in the business world. However, the reality turned out to be much more complicated than they had anticipated... Those unspeakable disappointments Zou Shiming and Ran Yingying's first entrepreneurial project was to open a boxing gym. This was not a simple decision, but one where they poured in all their past glory and existing resources. They chose to open a boxing gym covering…

On January 19th, Beijing time, the final day of the 2025 India Open Badminton Championships, the men's singles final took center stage with Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen facing off against Hong Kong's rising star, Lee Cheuk Yiu. In the end, Axelsen dominated with a 21-8 score in one set, winning both sets 2-0 to defeat Lee and secure his title, avenging his surprising first-round loss to Lee at last week's Malaysia Open! During his prime, Axelsen was indeed unstoppable. However, as he has aged, his technical abilities have declined, giving rise to several "dragon slayers," with Lee being the foremost among them. At the previous Malaysia Open, Lee caused an upset by eliminating Axelsen in the first round. At this India Open, Lee continued his excellent form, consecutively defeating Kento Momota, Brice Leverdez, Chou Tien Chen, and Wang Tzu Wei to reach the finals. In the semi-finals, after losing the first set, Lee fought back to win two consecutive sets and reverse the match against China's top player, Wang Tzu Wei, leaving a deep impression with his powerful smashes. In this match, Lee initially suppressed Axelsen's backhand overhead, exploiting his slow turning speed, achieving good results. However, as the game progressed, Axelsen also became aware of this, transitioning from defense to offense, gradually reversing the situation, overtaking the score, and maintaining his lead to win the first set 21-16. In the second set, Axelsen completely controlled the game, with Lee falling further behind in points and gradually losing his fighting spirit. Axelsen won the set 21-8 in a strong comeback,…

Recently, the national table tennis team has been quite lively. Ever since Fan Zhendong caused a stir, Liu Guoliang's image has collapsed in the hearts of netizens, and as a result, people's trust in the national table tennis team is not as strong as it used to be. Fan Zhendong's withdrawal means that he cannot participate in upcoming international events. Since he is still young, asking him to withdraw from the international competition arena at this time is equivalent to ending his career prematurely, which is very unfair for someone who has just won an Olympic championship after all, he has just defended the honor of the Chinese men's table tennis team. Perhaps because the incident became too big, Liu Guoliang had to come forward to explain to the public that based on their achievements and contributions, they can participate in any major event with a wild card. This temporarily calmed the public opinion, but not long after, the World Championships roster in Doha was released, and Fan Zhendong's name was not on it. The promotional poster representing Asian players also featured Wang Chuqin, with no trace of Fan Zhendong. In fact, apart from commercial matches, there is another important event recently, which is the Asian Cup. The Asian Cup will be held in Shenzhen in February. According to the rules of the event, China can send six male and female athletes each to participate in the competition. Today, China finally announced the participants. The men's team consists of Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Chen Yuanyu, and…

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…

In 2019, Shim Suk-hee, known as the "Queen of Short Track Speed Skating" in South Korea, took her former coach to court. Shim accused the coach of repeatedly sexually assaulting her, and it began when she was still in high school, leading to a four-year-long abuse. Even on the eve of competitions, he did not let her go. After the incident came to light, it sparked heated discussions among netizens. No one expected that Shim, one of South Korea's most famous athletes who had won multiple world championships for her country, would suffer such injustice behind the scenes. Who exactly is this beastly coach, and what was the outcome of the situation? After the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, where Shim Suk-hee won the gold medal in the women's relay event, she filed a lawsuit against her coach, Cho Jae-beom. The reason was that Shim had endured seven years of unwarranted beatings from coach Cho Jae-beom, including four years of sexual assault. This news immediately caused a stir among netizens, as it was this coach who had been with Shim since elementary school until she became famous and won championships. Shim started skating when other children were just learning to walk, and she could already glide smoothly on the ski slopes. Her parents also discovered her potential and began to fully cultivate her as a short track speed skater. In 2012, at the age of only 15, Shim made her international debut and won two gold medals in the 500m and 1000m events. That same year, at the World Junior Championships,…

Olympic champion Fan Zhendong attended the 2024 Weibo Night award ceremony, where he won the "2024 Weibo Annual Outstanding Sports Figure" award for his achievement of winning the men's singles championship at the Paris Olympics and achieving a super grand slam.

The 2025 Malaysia Open Badminton Championships have truly provided a grand spectacle for fans. On the first day of the competition, top players from around the world took to the court amidst a fervent atmosphere. However, the start of the tournament was not as smooth as anticipated, with unexpected twists and turns that left spectators in shock. Take, for instance, the newly crowned world No. 1 Danish men's doubles pair, Astrup-Rasmussen. Fresh from their victory at the year-end finals and having just ascended to the top of the men's doubles rankings, they were dealt a stunning blow on the opening day by the Chinese Taipei duo of Chiu Hsuan-Chen and Wang Chi-Lin. The match began with Astrup and Rasmussen seemingly off their game, losing the first set 16-21. They managed to claw back in the second set with a 21-18 win, but ultimately succumbed to a mental breakdown in the decisive third set, losing 20-22 and being embarrassingly eliminated from the tournament. This match was akin to a "dream turned nightmare," leaving everyone stunned. It serves as a reminder that in badminton, every player must start anew, and no one can afford to underestimate their opponents; even champions must work hard to maintain their status. Speaking of legends in the badminton world, one cannot overlook Viktor Axelsen, a two-time Olympic champion and a towering figure in the sport. Known for instilling fear in his opponents, Axelsen faced an unexpected defeat in the first round of the men's singles event against Hong Kong, China's Lee Cheuk Yiu. In just 38 minutes,…
