Li Zijun

Zijun just posted something on her Weibo? Can someone translate?
It's something about a problem or accident 6 minutes before the competition that let her to feel extremely nervous/panick (?) She also said that this is very regrettable, the most regrettable is not the result, but they she could have been better, She's sorry.

But this is a very raw translation and I'm not sure whether she said accident or problem, please someone help? :luv17:

Had an accident before 6 minutes she is going out, made her really nervous for the first time. Up until the music start she couldn't stop trembling/shaking. Every competition has its own reward. Next time how to deal when have surprising accidents. The most regretable is not the end result, but how she could have been better. I am sorry... :(

----------

Lots of support and encouragement from the fans... thank goodness. I thought her training from Mishin camp shines through, but she does need to beef up a bit to work on stamina and power. It is nearly there...

Hope Zijun get some cheer from So Youn to show her around Korea, she need to relax a bit before worlds.

Awww, Zijun! Don't be sorry - you have nothing to be sorry for.

She just seems like such a sweetheart... I hope she's okay, and that things go well for her at the Asian Games.
 
Good luck to Zijun in Finland !!!:hap10:

Big Girl Li Jizun------Lonely training and growth

http://xw.qq.com/sports/20170225012743/SPO2017022501274300?vt=4

2017-02-25 article by 车莉 杨昕雨

After short program in Asian Winter Games,standing in front of the camera,Li Zijun opens mouth several times but cannot make a sound.

"I am particularly disappointed with my ranking." Li Zijun' s helpless face is full of dissatisfaction for her performance. Low difficulty combination jump for stability is still under-rotated(<), as one of the favorites to win in Asian Winter Games, Li Zijun' s first show is less than satisfactory.

Back to FCC A week ago, Li Zijun accidentally fell on ice and hit head, when FS program finished, she kneeled down on ice and could not immediately stand up to greet audience, When waiting for the result in K&C, the girl was in a large outbreak of emotion and cannot stop crying. After the match, Li Zijun said her legs trembling on ice, she felt nervous without rhyme or reason.

What is she worried about? From a talent girl to the chief lady skater in China, she has been accustomed to growing alone in boring training, but she knows she could no longer be wayward, now she values every chance to skate on ice, she does not want to make "breakthrough" only a slogan, she does not want to lose herself again.

Lonely training and growth , jump until the skies falling and the earth opening up

9 o'clock in the morning, on snowing street of St Petersburg, the sky is still dark, Li Zijun, dressed in a black down jacket and carrying her skating boots, was walking forward quickly. Red "CHINA" on her back is particularly conspicuous. Beside her, a Russian large man seemed speaking something to her and following around. Li Zijun' s face revealed confusion and anxiety, she quickened the pace, almost trotted up at last...... A few minutes later, she finally reached the destination. When entered the door of ice rink, Li Zijun' s mood was relaxed apparently, she greeted people in English with a smile, occasionally saying a few of Russian words.

This is her 56th day in St Petersburg.

As a leader of China ladies, during 8 years, Li Zijun with beautiful appearance、slender figure and graceful movements, has been well received by insiders and praised by fans. In order to further improve her skating level, China figure skating team planned a period of two months overseas training for Li Zijun in St Petersburg, under the world famous figure skating coach Alexei Mishin.

The days in Russia were hard and monotonous. Sometimes, four training on land and two training on ice in one day, often" from sky dark until sky dark". So the kind of Road scare mentioned above had become commonplace. "Because of the language barrier, do not know what they are talking about, really scared." Strange large man approached young girl, Li Zijun's option was "ignore, and then go quickly ".

"Compared to the training of all kinds of jump on land , I suddenly think that skating on ice makes me feel joy and happy ......" Li Zijun has a small notebook recording her daily training condition, and now the small notebook is almost full. "Once leave the ice, I go to check the notebook, an on-ice training, not including practice with music, I jumped a total of 65 triple-triple and lutz......Do you want to experience the feeling of going up to heaven? come and try the Russian training method." Li Zijun said she was "almost practiced silly, usually cannot find where waist and legs are".

And compared to the overload training, for Li Zijun, the more terrible is the inner loneliness. Mishin' s team team is almost completely made up by Russian girls. Because her teammates do not speak English, Li Zijun couldn't join in their laughing and talking "small-group". She preferred to do stretch training in the corridor away from ice alone, thinking of the training content and plan.

Snowing outside the window, under the dim light Li Zijun' s thin figure was casted on the wall, seemed silent and lonely. Most of the time, she could only talked to herself.

From training in the United States at the age of 12 to competing all over the world, Li Zijun is proud of her language talent, no matter training in the United States or in Canada, she could solve all basic necessities of life, but this time in a non-English-speaking country, she felt "cannot handle it".

The first time to the supermarket, below -20℃ temperature, Li Jizun carried a large bag in hands, stood in the wind for more than two hours to get a taxi but failed, asked for help but the persons she came across could not speak English, until a kind Russian youth called a car for her, then she could went back to the hotel. Later, she learned to download a call-car software, learned some simple Russian words...... But still not to go out frequently , because this experience was too painful and leaved her a shadow in heart.

As the only lady skater in China to win a medal at the Winter Olympics, Chen Lu believes that "to reach the top, you must withstand loneliness". As Chen Lu's successor , Li Zijun has deep feelings to this sentence, since became the national championship at the age of 14, such day, she has been through 7 years.

Fortunately, people in Mishin' s club are very friendly to Li Zijun, Mishin coach also liked this Chinese "porcelain doll". Not only arranged hotel for her, but also took some eggs from home to give her for nutritional supplement. "You should eat well to be strong enough to jump." was the most common words Mishin coach said to Li Zijun.

Mishin , who looks as kind as Santa Claus in life, is not soft hearted to make the training plan. He once said: "the coach of lady skater is the most dangerous job in the world, because you don't know what will happen next, there are many possibilities."
"Women are fragile materials, many factors will affect their performance in match, emotions, feelings, some subtle things will affect them, and most girls are very hard to resist changes in physical development." However, Li Zijun won the favor of the skating godfather with her efforts. Wherever he went, Mishin coach would not forget to send text messages to ask Li Zijun 's training condition.

Mishin coach's message "come to cry in my arms if can't insist, and then start again" has been stored in Li ZiJun' s mobile phone. When she almost could not insist, she took it out to look at.

When " from sky dark until sky dark" 、" jump until the skies falling and the earth opening up"...... Became normal, the motive power that let Li Zijun insist is only one, that is" persist for dream".

All the pay will be rewarded. on 20th day in St Petersburg, Li Zijun' s lutz and flip finally can coexist; on 24th day, weighed her weight, 42.9kg, such weight did not appear since the beginning of physical development, "thin to a new record"......

Learn English by watching US TV series, first time to make dumplings on her own on birthday

"After daily training, the time for dinner finally arrived...... What to eat tonight, the Russian alphabet which is pleasing to the eye then eat it." Li Zijun take out a Russian menu.

Russia's food is monotonous, difficult to swallow, the daily food fee was limited, she had to learn to cook. On December 14th, her 21-year-old birthday, Li Zijun for the first time attempted to make dumplings, when eat the first bite, she was almost moved to tears.

Besides going out and food, Li Zijun also need to deal with room-moving. The hotel Mishin coach arranged for her has only one room for cooking, when Someone booked this room, she had to move out and stay in another room, when the guest checked out, she could move back in. So, in this room that she lived in for about two months, there were not too many marks belong to her. "Just moved back yesterday, this is the fourth time, we don't have enough money to pay for this room, so I have to move out if it's booked."Li Zijun said calmly.

Of course, there were other things to make her happy, for example, learn a new action、today's triple jump all successful...... At this time, she would reward herself with an ice cream. "I like to eat ice cream in winter, especially in snowing day" she smiled, eating the popsicle in hand with small bites, face full of happiness.

In addition to the ice rink, on these days in St Petersburg, Li Zijun spent most time in the room, painting, listening to music, watching US TV series. Watching US TV series while lying in bed was the most pleasant time for her. "Rest is on the one hand, 90% of my English is learned from dialogues in US TV series. Learning English can let me talk to others, otherwise ,I will become dumb in these years."

Li Zijun' s favorite TV series are campus youth class, such as "Vampire diaries" and "Pretty little liars". As a professional athlete, she cannot go to university to enjoy the colorful life of the campus like other teenagers, because of the lack of such emotion, in most time she can only find emotional sustenance from videos.

Confident、cheerful、Dare to struggle、have ideas, these features of post 90s are reflected in Li Zijun incisively and vividly. In her spare time, she will also post on weibo/instagram to show her smile and joy, seldom talking about the pain behind. Li Zijun wants to tell her family and friends in this way that she is all OK.



just translation practice......maybe some mistakes.......
:p 手酸眼花:sad4:

Nope...Zijun is not injured...I'll just briefly translate her weibo post two days ago (which she has deleted now):

"what is even more cruel than reality is conspiracy."


there's a huge chaos among Chinese fans right now...
 
Wow this makes no sense whatsoever. Even if there's a conspiracy where the Chinese Fed is trying to prop up another skater, you'd think that they'd pull this stunt with next year's Olympics spots. Why swap out Zijun right before the most important competition of the year? China will be lucky to have a spot for next year's Olympics...maybe Xiangning Li will surprise us as she actually has a lot of potential once she cleans up those jumps.

I'm heartbroken for Zijun. I was reading only today about her training in Russia, and looking forward to her hard work paying off!
 
This is awful - poor Zijun! I hope she keeps her courage up, and knows that there are people who do believe in her.
 
I translated and posted the Chinese Team Leader's response to the conspiracy theory on the Worlds Entries thread. She emphasizes the list is not final. She says Zijun has not been well with a fever and unable to train normally. Best athletes will be sent to Worlds and the final list will be published before the team leaves for the championships.

领队回应李子君替补:名单未最后定 没有阴谋论

Uhmm this so called leader better not be playing mind games.. .talk about deflating morale and instigating internal conflicts and turmoil.
Something seems out of synch with Zijun training with Mishin perhaps instead of a assigned Chinese coach? Is that what is causing the friction?

I would hate any federation politics infringe on skater's liberty... I have seen it so many times to talented skater that falls victim to it and see how it affect their scores and judges perception.
 
well usually if a skater really is sick and not in good enough health to skate, they'll just withdraw her, instead of replacing her and making her the alternate...

I think there's some truth to both versions. Zijun may be sick these days but is still able to skate and someone is using this situation and pulling strings to get her off the world's team.
 
Poor Zijun! Why politics has to interfere with an athlete's (and in this case, the best lady skater in her country) career? :dev2:
 
CSA can ue@@#*€hguejn@@""hzgh##
Zijun won silver at AWG and finished 7th at 4CC.

Ziquan bless her is widely inconsistent and usually has meltdowns in her frees and Xiangning who i LOVE finished 11th at junior worlds.

There is absolutely no reason to withdraw Zijun against her will. It makes no sense at all and it must be so demoralizing for her. I can't imagine. Not even talking about the effects on Ziquan as well who was pulled out of the team to put Xiangning but is now back and might be pulled out again??!! That's no way to prepare for one of the most important competition of their carreer (since it determines olympic spots)
 
I am very sorry to hear what's going on in this situation. Poor Zijun, it must be heartbreaking for her right now.

The federation is its own enemy, Zijun is by far their strongest ladies skater... :slink:

I was really looking forward to cheer for her at Worlds. :sad4:
