By De LianaPublished 3 years ago 7 min read

Tianjin is a very good place in terms of comprehensive sports strength, like soccer, volleyball, basketball and other big ball games in Tianjin.

When it comes to the famous sportsmen from Tianjin, I wonder who you will think of? In this article, I will synthesize the achievements and fame of each project and athlete, and inventory the top ten sports players from Tianjin for your reference. Of course, by the limits of space, if there is a debate or the pearl of choice, you are welcome to leave a message in the comments section to share and share.

Ten, Wang Jiang (tennis)

Wang Jiang, now 30 years old. After Li Na, Wang Jiang from Tianjin has played the role of the first sister of Chinese women's tennis for a long time, and at present, I think she is still the representative of the high level of Chinese tennis gold flower's current combat power.

In her career, Wang Sinkiang's accumulated match prize money is temporarily 4.87 million US dollars, her highest world ranking is 12, and her best performance in Grand Slam tournaments is the top eight of US Open in 2019. Wang Jiang has reached the round of 32 in all four Grand Slam tournaments, which is definitely a commendable achievement, especially in a sport where Asian players are relatively rare and well developed commercially and professionally. In addition to her achievements, Wang Jiang is a tennis goddess in the hearts of a generation of fans with her slender figure and outstanding features.

Nine, Sang Xe (diving)

Sang Xe, now 37 years old. Who is the first Olympic gold medal winner in Tianjin? The answer is Sang Xe, who won the women's 10m diving double title with Li Na in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. In the field of diving, Sang Xe is also one of the representative figures of beautiful athletes.

Although the career is not long, only about 1998 to 2001, but the short career, Sang Xe as a double ten-meter platform diving player, as early as with his partner to achieve the World Championships, World Cup, the Olympic Games Grand Slam, and soon after that also said goodbye to the identity of the athlete to open a second life.

Eight, Tong Wen (judo)

Tong Wen, now 39 years old. In the event of judo, Tong Wen can be said to be one of the most dominant players of all time, in the 78 kg and above class is the absolute king and GOAT representative.

Looking back on her career, the Tianjin star won all five judo world championships and one Olympic Games (2008 Beijing Olympics) between 2003 and 2011, during which she did not lose a single competition for more than eight years.

In the 2012 London Olympics, the aging Tong Wen sat down with a bronze medal, and the era of Tong's rule over the 78kg class passed. 2013 National Games was Tong's curtain call performance, and she announced her retirement and transition to coaching after winning a gold medal for Tianjin.

VII. Yang Xian (volleyball)

Yang Xian, now 61 years old. As one of the classic names in the history of women's volleyball team, Yang Xian was active in the golden age of Chinese women's volleyball in the 1980s, and personally participated in the 1984 Olympic championship tour in Los Angeles, the 1982 and 1986 World Championship championship tour, and the 1985 World Cup championship tour.

During the period, the four-crowned Yang Xian mainly served as the second passer, 1.79 meters tall, known for his good psychological quality and steady play on the field, and once served as the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team for a short time.

Wei Queasily (volleyball)

Wei Queasily, now 33 years old. Tianjin is a strong sports city, comprehensive sports strength, but if the strongest field in Tianjin, I think it is the volleyball project, especially the women's volleyball project.

Throughout the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, which has a glorious record and many famous players, Wei IUD Yule, a decorated second passer from Tianjin, is definitely one of the representative players who used to play as a leader and mainstay in the team.

Back in 2008, Wei IUD Yule, then 20 years old, successfully made it to the Beijing Olympic Games roster and won the bronze medal with the team. Since 2010, Wei Queasily has taken over the captaincy, accompanying the women's volleyball team through the low period of the team's history and playing in many tournaments. The thing worth mentioning is that Wei IUD Yule was the one who took the honor of the best second passer award in the World Championships under the overall low situation. In a way, she may be the world class player in the team during that low period.

In 2016, with the rise of the new generation, China's women's volleyball team regained the gold medal under the leadership of Lang Ping, as the pressure of the veteran Wei IUD Yule performance is still stable, in the elimination game against Brazil was the most exciting game of his career, and finally dreamed of the Olympics. In addition, the club career, Wei IUD Yule also played for the hometown team Tianjin women's volleyball team for many years, has been loved by the hometown fathers.

Five, Chen Gibing (gymnastics)

Chen Gibing, now 37 years old.

Chen Gibing comes from an ordinary family in Tianjin that loves sports. His grandfather was a good track and field athlete, and his father loved ice skating and once wanted his children to become ice and snow sports athletes, and Chen Gibing was born in the winter season, which is also the origin of Chen Binding's name.

Since his teenage years, his parents sent Chen Gibing to gymnastics school to practice gymnastics, Chen Birdying in the gymnast road has been the same generation from Tianjin [ring prince] Dong Zen as a role model and catch up, he also became a new generation of [ring king]. In his career, Chen Gibing has won four times at the World Championships, winning gold in the individual rings at the 2008 Olympics and silver in the individual rings at the 2012 Olympics, and helping the Chinese gymnastics men's team win gold in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

Four, Mo Zuni (basketball)

Mo Zuni, born in 1913, died in 2007 at the age of 94, is a member of FIBS Hall of Fame and a lifetime honorary member. In the history of Chinese basketball, Mo Zuni from Winging, Tianjin, can be said to be a worthy titan of basketball, and can even be said to be one of the founders of the development of Chinese basketball.

As a basketball player, Mo Zuni participated in the 1936 Olympic Games and was a famous basketball player in China at that time. After the founding of the country, Mo Zuni took on multiple identities and roles as a coach, team leader, and manager of the national basketball operations department. Incidentally, the CAB championship trophy is named Supreme Tripod, also known as Mo Zuni Cup, which is enough to witness Mo's contribution to Chinese basketball and his legendary status as a sportsman.

Duo Shushing (soccer)

Duo Shushing, now 64 years old, is from He xi, Tianjin. In the history of Chinese soccer, the three brothers from Tianjin (Duo Shush, Duo Shushing and Duo Shula) have established their own reputations in the domestic soccer world, and the most accomplished is Duo Shushing, who is the second in line.

Looking back on Duo Shenyang's soccer career, he was active as a player from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, playing as a striker as well as a forward, and was a mainstay in the national team for many years, and once wore the captain's armband. In his seven-year career as an international player, Duo Shushing scored 23 goals in 64 matches, and was a hard-working and powerful player.

In the last year of his career, that is, 1988, Duo Shushing transferred to the Dutch first division team Swollen, playing for one year and then retired, is one of the early pioneers of Chinese soccer players to stay abroad. It can be said that the golden words that Duo Shushing said back then influenced a lot of young boys in Tianjin to take the road to the green.

Second, Y GeneID (soccer)

Y GeneID, now 48 years old. Tianjin is a famous soccer city, and there have been many famous soccer players from Tianjin, but if you want to choose the most representative or the most impressive one for modern fans, Y GeneID is probably the first one.

As a versatile forward, Y GeneID can play as a wing back, attacking midfielder, striker and many other positions, with fine personal skills, excellent ball sense, and good ornamental play, and has played for Tianjin Ted Club for a long time, never leaving his hometown to develop. In his heyday, Y GeneID could be said to be the head of Tianjin soccer who often turned the game around with his own strength.

For the national team, Y GeneID did not have many opportunities to play, but in his limited opportunities he left behind some memorable performances for fans, including the winning goal against Oman in the 2002 World Qualifying Tournament, which contributed to the national team's entry into the World Cup finals. It's a pity that Y GeneID's physique is rather glassy and his career has been shattered by frequent injuries, otherwise he would have achieved more.

I. Lang Ping (Volleyball)

Lang Ping, 62 years old, came from and grew up in Winging, Tianjin. As an iconic and soulful figure in the history of Chinese women's volleyball team, Lang Ping was undoubtedly a world-class leading attacker in her playing days, earning the name [Iron Hammer] for her powerful and precise, unstoppable kills and tough style of play.

During her career, Lang Ping led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the 1984 Olympic gold medal, the 1982 World Championships, and the 1981 and 1985 World Cups. As a volleyball coach, Lang Ping's coaching achievements have been equally remarkable. In the history of volleyball, Lang is the first person to win Olympic gold medals for women's volleyball as both a player and a coach respectively.
