Lighting the Flame

At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games held on the evening of August 8, 28, in the most exciting lighting session, not surprisingly, Li Ning, the "Prince of gymnastics", lit the main torch platform of the Beijing Olympic Games in the way of "flying trapeze" in the National Stadium "Bird's Nest". At the moment when the Olympic flame was lit, the audience was full of boiling cheers and thunder, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

The moment when the torch of the main torch platform of the Beijing Olympic Games is lit, which has been focused by the global media, has finally arrived. After Xu Haifeng, Gao Min, Li Xiaoshuang, Zhan Xugang, Zhang Jun, Chen Zhong and Sun Jinfang passed on hand by hand, the appearance of "Prince of gymnastics" Li Ning set off the climax of the audience. At this moment, the eyes of the whole world were focused on the Beijing National Stadium in China and on Li Ning.

Li Ninggao held the lighted torch in his hand, slowly rose into the air, and made a running posture, circling over the National Stadium. As he stepped forward, a "Xiangyun" scroll slowly unfolded. And lit the Olympic flame under the main torch tower, fireworks and cheers melted into the strongest sound of the "Bird's Nest" in an instant.

Brief introduction

After the Seoul Olympic Games in p>1988, he retired and entered the business world. Li Ning brand clothing and Jianlibao drinks named after him sponsored various sports activities many times, which made great contributions to the development of sports. He has the reputation of "genius", "prodigy", "giant in gymnastics" and "trump card in China", and is a rare athlete in gymnastics who has won such honors.

Li Ning has won as many as 16 gold medals in gymnastics for more than ten years.

Li Ning was born in Guangxi in p>1963. He began to practice gymnastics at the age of 7, joined the national gymnastics team at the age of 17 and retired at the age of 26. In 1981, he won the men's floor exercise, pommel horse and rings in the World University Games. In the 6th World Cup Gymnastics Competition in 1982, Li Ning won six of all seven gold medals for men, creating a myth in the world gymnastics history and being known as "Prince of gymnastics".

In p>1984, in the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games, Li Ning * * * won 3 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze, which was close to 1/5 of the total medals of China delegation. He also became the athlete who won the most medals in this Olympic Games. In 1985, he won the ring champion of the World Gymnastics Championships. In 1986, he won the men's individual all-around, floor exercise and pommel horse in the 7th World Cup Gymnastics Competition ... During his 17-year sports career, Li Ning won 16 gold medals in major gymnastics competitions at home and abroad. In 1987, Li Ning became the only member of the Athletes Committee of the International Olympic Committee in Asia at that time. In 1999, Li Ning was selected as "the world's best athlete in the 2th century" by the World Sports Journalists Association. His name, together with 25 sports superstars such as boxing champion Ali, ball king Bailey and air Jordan, reached the top of the century sports.

After retiring in p>1989, Li Ning joined Guangdong Jianlibao Group, founded the "Li Ning" sporting goods brand, and took the opportunity of sponsoring the China delegation of the 9th Asian Games to start the business of Li Ning Company, thus creating a precedent for the brand management of sporting goods in China. In the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, "Li Ning Brand" was selected as the special equipment for China sports delegation to receive prizes, thus ending the history of China athletes wearing foreign sports brand clothes at the Olympic Games. After ten years of development, "Li Ning" has already become the first brand of sporting goods in China. Now, Li Ning is leading his own company to stride towards the goal of brand internationalization. At present, "Li Ning" has signed agency agreements with dealers in nine overseas countries and regions ...

In the spirit of "from sports, for sports", Li Ning has been actively supporting sports at home and abroad. In the process of Beijing's Olympic bid, Li Ning Company was an enthusiastic sponsor. After the successful Olympic bid, Li
