This guy is called the Prince of Gymnastics. When he retired at the age of 26, he had won 106 gold medals in major world competitions. They include six of the seven gold medals overall in 1982 and three gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. The best person is Li Ning. In 1999, when sports reporters were selecting the most outstanding male and female sports players of the 20th century, Li Ning, Pele and Muhammad Ali were selected. But even after winning everything he was capable of winning in gymnastics, Li Ning still retired with a feeling of failure. He was disappointed because his performance at the 1988 Seoul Olympics was not very good. But this feeling of failure made him decide to succeed in his new life. One year after retiring, Li Ning started his new career as a businessman. But he hasn't forgotten his athletic past. He decided to start a new sports brand to compete with the global brands Nike and Adidas. For a Chinese, he made an unusual choice to use his own name as a trademark. The red trademark is composed of the first two pinyin letters of Li Ning, L and N. Li-Ning Sportswear enters the market at a good time. The number of young people with money to spend is constantly growing, and sports have become more popular than ever. Li Ning's design is attractive, and one advantage compared to other famous brands is that its price is relatively cheap. For example, the price of a pair of Nike sneakers is more than five times that of Li Ning of the same style. Li Ning's success was guaranteed and it was growing rapidly. In just a few years, Li Ning won 50% of the domestic market. Today, a Li Ning product is sold every ten seconds. Li Ning's sportswear is not only found on track and field and football fields. If you go to any university or campus, you will see people wearing Li-Ning sportswear with the familiar logo. The company has also developed internationally. Spanish and French gymnasts also wear Li-Ning clothing, but the company also hires Italian designers to create new styles. When Chinese athletes enter the 2008 Olympic Games, they will be wearing Li-Ning brand sportswear. But when Li Ning retired, his goal was not to make money. His ideal was to open a gymnastics school. He did this in 1991. Since then he has continued to help young people realize their sports dreams. Before him, football champion Pele and boxing champion Ali worked at the United Nations for children's rights and world peace for many years. Li Ning discovered that retirement as an outstanding athlete is not the end but the beginning. Just as Li Ning's advertising slogan says, "If you are an outstanding athlete, everything is possible."
