Li Yan was born in Heilongjiang in 1966. As we all know, the climate in Northeast China is extremely cold, especially in winter, which is very long. Because she grew up in a snowy city, Li Yan is very fond of skiing and skating. Before 1 1, she always regarded these as her hobbies, but after 1 1, she. Although every training is very large, Li Yan has never felt tired or complained because of training. Instead, she has worked hard to stick to it because she has excellent talent in this sport and has made a lot of efforts in the later period. So, when she participated in the national competition, she won the second place directly.
At this time, Li Yan really made great efforts, because she was already injured, so after she recovered, she had to redouble her efforts, and psychologically, she had to overcome the shadow of the past, and with her efforts, her strength did make great progress. In 1988, short track speed skating officially became a competition in the Winter Olympics, and Li Yan.
Because of her health and age, Li Yan also chose to retire, and then directly transformed into a coach. In the first two years, she worked as an assistant coach and constantly learned relevant teaching experience. Later, she chose to go to college for further study, and after graduating from college, she went to work in the tax bureau, and her life was very stable. However, Li Yan did not like this unchangeable lifestyle, but chose instead. Later, the Slovak delegation came to China and made a request, hoping that China could send a coach for them.
At this time, everyone thought of Li Yan. Li Yan also accepted the invitation of Slovakia and became the head coach of its national team. Under her efforts, Slovakia's performance in the Winter Olympics was very good. It is precisely because Li Yan has made many contributions and achievements in the position of coach that she has been seen by many countries. Later, Li Yan joined the Austrian national team, and also helped the short track speed skating team to make a great breakthrough with her own ability. In 2003, Li Yan came to coach the American youth team and built this team into a world-class team. This shows how excellent Li Yan's coaching ability is.
In 2006, Li Yan's contract with the United States officially expired, but she did make a lot of contributions to the short track speed skating team in the United States, and her teaching ability was also seen by everyone, so the United States also proposed a high-paying contract and wanted to retain Li Yan. At this time, Li Yan not only received an invitation from the United States, but also received an invitation from China, because the short track speed skating team in China also fell into the trap.
Under Li Yan's coaching, China's short track speed skating team has indeed made a great breakthrough, and even welcomed many excellent athletes. For example, Wang Meng helped China's short track speed skating team achieve excellent results in major competitions. When Wang Meng and Li Yan were mentioned, the story between them was shocking, and it could even be described as love and hate. As the head coach, Li Yan, Therefore, there are many quarrels and frictions between the two men. Even Wang Meng was directly banned for half a year, and when Li Yan faced this athlete, it was also a headache.
Even though there were many conflicts between them, they both reflected on themselves. Later, Li Yan made a concession so that Wang Meng could receive personalized training. After that, Li Yan and Wang Meng turned to arms and began to fight side by side. In the Vancouver Winter Olympics, they successfully won a gold medal for China. After winning the championship, Wang Meng was most grateful to the coach Li Meng. Both of them hope to bring more achievements to China's short track speed skating. In the end, they can resolve the conflict between them, and it is also very admirable for them to work hard for short track speed skating.
During the Pyeongchang Olympic Games, everyone also found that China's short track speed skating ushered in many unfair events. Li Yan submitted many complaints to the organizing committee, but ultimately failed. Later, Wu Dajing successfully helped China win a medal, and Li Yan, who was under great pressure, also shed tears at the scene. Of course, the world also saw the indomitable spirit of China athletes in this competition.
Li Yan, known as the Queen of Ice and Snow, is dedicated to the short track speed skating in China, both as an athlete and as a coach. Now Li Yan has already become the president of China's skating association and is currently the head coach of the national team. I believe that under her leadership, all athletes in China will definitely achieve more excellent results in this Winter Olympics to repay Li Yan's coach.
