吊环、鞍马、双杠……立夏之际，北京市先农坛体育运动技术学校体操馆内，来自成都体育学院的体操国家队队员邹敬园正挥汗如雨地进行体操项目练习。2021年，他在东京奥运会获得男子双杠金牌、竞技体操男团铜牌，在第十四届全运会获得男子双杠金牌。近几年，他在双杠项目上无人能敌，被称为“双杠王”。不久前，他获得了第二十六届“中国青年五四奖章”。对于即将到来的成都大运会，他志在必得：“能在自己家门口参加大运会，我很骄傲。”
邹敬园4岁就开始练体操。“我小时候很容易生病，总是感冒发烧，爸妈就想让我通过体育锻炼提高身体素质。巧的是，体操国际裁判李小兵正好来到我所在的幼儿园选体育种子，我和班里10个小伙伴被选上了。我们全校就去了宜宾市体校进行训练。”邹敬园说，“第一天去时感觉特别好玩，很新鲜，就像开运动会一样。然而大部分人练了不到一个星期就走了，只有我一个人坚持了下来。”
年幼的邹敬园对压腿、侧空翻非常有兴趣，即便在拉筋时感到疼痛也一声不吭，从来没有哭过鼻子。李小兵也称赞他有天赋。于是，邹敬园就开始了体操训练。每天早晨5点钟，他就起床了，吃完早饭后，妈妈送他去体校进行早操训练，再赶回幼儿园上课。下午4点钟，幼儿园放了学，妈妈再把邹敬园送去体校继续训练。这一训练，就是风雨无阻的数年。看着儿子小小年纪就这么辛苦，父母有时也于心不忍，想打退堂鼓，但邹敬园没有放弃。
2005年，四川省体操队教练曹治国来地方选材，一眼相中了时年6岁的邹敬园。此后邹敬园便来到成都，进入四川省体校训练。“我在成都度过了童年时光，在那里打下了运动生涯的基础，成都生活给我留下了难以磨灭的记忆，那是我的第二家乡。”
“国家队一直给我一种很神圣的感觉。以前我参加最多的就是省里的比赛，觉得自己还可以，进了国家队后，我发现这里到处是优秀的人。”邹敬园感受到了压力，更加刻苦训练。一个动作，其他人练习一遍，他常常要练四五遍甚至更多。他的天赋也是有目共睹的。有些动作，其他运动员要练上一年才能练好，而他几个月就能完全掌握。
2017年3月，邹敬园参加世界杯体操赛多哈站的比赛。初次参加国际比赛的他不仅获得男子吊环铜牌，还以15.900分摘得双杠金牌。8月，第十三届全国运动会在天津举行。首次参加全运会的邹敬园在男子双杠决赛中，为四川代表团夺得一枚宝贵的金牌。2018年8月，在雅加达亚运会男子体操团体决赛中，邹敬园与肖若腾、林超攀、邓书弟、孙炜组成的中国队以260.950分获得亚运会团体冠军。在随后的个人项目比拼中，邹敬园以15.100分获得鞍马银牌，又以15.725分摘得双杠金牌。11月，在卡塔尔多哈举行的第四十八届世界体操锦标赛双杠决赛中，邹敬园以16.433分实现世锦赛双杠的卫冕，刷新了该届世锦赛的单项最高分，也成为世锦赛历史上第五位蝉联双杠冠军的选手。
2019年世锦赛上，以两连冠身份参赛的邹敬园，居然在资格赛出局。“自从2019年世锦赛失败后，我此后参加的比赛，其实心理波动都是比较大的，我甚至觉得自己心理有些问题，就是太想去保这个项目，而不是如何更好地完成动作。”但他很快调整好了心态，在2021年举办的东京奥运会上，他平复心情，放手一搏。
2021年8月3日，东京奥运会体操男子双杠决赛中，邹敬园凭借16.233分的绝对优势夺冠，成功加冕新一代“双杠王”。他的这枚金牌，不仅是本届奥运会中国军团的第三十一金，更是四川的首金。解说员邹凯赞美邹敬园是“教科书式的动作”。
“东京奥运会延期一年举行，对我来说是好事。当时在赛场上，我没有想其他的事情，我觉得这是我最近两年里做得最好的一套动作，我回到了自己的初心，也迈过了心里那道坎。”邹敬园说。
目前，邹敬园正在成都体育学院读研究生。自6岁来到成都，邹敬园有解不开的成都情结。“我在成都生活训练多年，很喜欢这个地方。现在我重新回到成都训练、生活，对这里感到很亲切。”
闲暇之余，邹敬园走遍了成都的大街小巷，慢慢去感受这座城市的魅力。“成都的生活很悠闲，大家看起来很舒适享受。”邹敬园逛遍了成都大大小小的景点，吃遍了成都的特色小吃，也很喜欢大熊猫基地。
在邹敬园眼中，成都是一座具有体育活力的城市，体育普及度很高。“成都举办过不少国际赛事，有很强的赛事组织能力和丰富的办赛经验，能为竞技体育提供软件和硬件上的保障。”近年来，成都大力支持体育项目和体育赛事的发展，为筹办大运会新建了凤凰山体育公园、东安湖体育公园，还有天府新区、高新区等体育场馆。这些措施激励成都市民更加积极地投身体育运动。
成都历来都是“体育之城”。1965年出土的一只战国采桑宴乐射猎攻战纹铜壶，记录了2300余年前古代成都居民练习射箭的场景。成都还是古代马球运动的风靡之地，世界上第一支平民女子马球队就诞生在成都。
2019年，乒乓球世界杯、第十八届世界警察和消防员运动会在成都举办。随后，成都又成功申办了“四大赛”——第三十一届世界大学生夏季运动会、2022年世界乒乓球团体锦标赛、2024年羽毛球汤尤杯和2025年世界运动会。这几大赛事，改写了西部地区从未获得世界综合性赛事举办权的历史，也使成都在“十三五”期间成为实至名归的西部体育赛事第一城。
作为成都大运会形象大使，邹敬园说，大运会的举办对于成都打造赛事名城的目标非常重要。他还在2021年大运会青春歌会上和著名歌唱家马薇演唱了推广歌曲《千年之约》。正如歌里所唱的那样，他愿和世界青年“一起奔向梦想的天际线”。（李璐璐）
The rings,pommelled horse,and parallel bars...At the Beginning of Summer,Zou Jingyuan,a member of the national gymnastics team from Chengdu Sport University,was sweating like a pig in the training in the gym of Beijing Xiannongtan Sports Technical School.In 2021,he won the gold medal in Men's Parallel Bars and the bronze medal of Men's Athletic Gymnastics Team at the Tokyo Olympic Games,and the gold medal in Men's Parallel Bars at the 14th National Games.In recent years,he has been invincible in Parallel Bars and is known as the"king of Parallel Bars".Not long ago,he won the 26th"China Youth May 4th Medal".For the upcoming Chengdu Universiade,he was determined to win the game and said:"I am very proud to participate in the Universiade in my city."
Zou Jingyuan was in 2022 World Gymnastics Championships.
Zou Jingyuan was in Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Chengdu,the place where dreams start
Zou Jingyuan took up gymnastics at the age of 4."When I was young,I was easy to get sick and always had a cold and fever.My parents wanted me to improve my physical fitness through physical exercise.By coincidence,Li Xiaobing,an international gymnastics referee,came to the kindergarten where I was to pick talents for sports,and ten of my classmates and me were selected.Nearly 100 people from our school went to Yibin Sports School for training."Zou Jingyuan said,"On the first day,I found it great fun and fresh,just like a sports meeting.However,
most people left after less than a week of practice,and I was the only one who stayed still."
Small Zou Jingyuan was very interested in leg pressing and side somersault.He never said a word or cried even when he felt pain when stretching tendons.Li Xiaobing also praised him for his talent.Thus,Zou Jingyuan has started gymnastics training since then.He got up at 5 o'clock every morning.After breakfast,his mother sent him to the sports school for morning exercises,and then rushed back to the kindergarten for class.At 4 o'clock,after kindergarten,his mother sent him to the
sports school to continue the training.Rain or shine,the training continued for several years.Seeing the son work so hard at such a young age,his parents sometimes took pity on him and come up with idea to get him quitting the training,but Zou Jingyuan didn't give up.
In 2005 when Cao Zhiguo,the coach of Gymnastics Team of Sichuan Province,came to local regions to select sports talents,he picked Zou Jingyuan at the first view,while Zou was only 6 years old.After that,Zou Jingyuan came to Chengdu and got training in Sichuan Sports School."I spent my childhood in Chengdu,where I laid foundation for my sports career.The life in Chengdu has left me an indelible memory,and this city is my second hometown."
In 2012,Zou Jingyuan,at age of 14,was selected into the national team where his brilliant career started.
Step over the obstacle in the heart
"The national team always gave me a feeling of holiness.I used to participate most in provincial competitions,and I thought I was good.After I entered the National Team,I found that there were lots of excellent candidates."Feeling stress and pressure,Zou Jingyuan trained harder.While others practised a movement once,he often practised it for four or five times or more.His talent was also obvious to all.While the other athletes had to practise some movements for a year before they could master them,he could fully master them within a few months.
In June 2015,in the National Youth Gymnastics Championships,Zou Jingyuan won four gold medals in events of Men's All-around,Pommelled Horse,Rings and Parallel Bars.
Zou Jingyuan won the champion of Men's Parallel Bars in Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. In March 2017,Zou Jingyuan participated in the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup in Doha.He not only won the bronze medal of Men's Rings in the international competition for the first time,but also won the gold medal of Parallel Bars with 15.900 points.In August,the 13th National Games was held in Tianjin.Zou Jingyuan,who participated in the National Games for the first time,won a precious gold medal for the Sichuan delegation in Men's Parallel Bars Final.In August 2018,the Chinese team composed of Zou Jingyuan,Xiao Ruoteng,Lin Chaopan,Deng Shudi and Sun Wei won the team championship with 260.950 points in Men's Gymnastics Team Final at the Jakarta Asian Games.In the subsequent individual event competition,Zou Jingyuan won a silver medal in Pommelled Horse with 15.100 points and a gold medal in Parallel Bars with 15.725 points.In November,Zou Jingyuan defended the title of Parallel Bars with 16.433 points at the 48th World Gymnastics Championships in Doha,Qatar,breaking the highest point of individual event and becoming the fifth defender of the title of Parallel Bars in the history of World Championships.I n spite of his impressive achievements,Zou Jingyuan regrets his career."I always want to make my show perfect,and I am always too excited on the court,which leads to mistakes."
At the 2019 World Championships,Zou Jingyuan,who won two consecutive championships,got knocked out i n the qualification unexpectedly."Since the failure in the 2019 World Championships,I have experienced great mood swing in the competitions I have participated in.I even felt that I had psychological problems.All I was thinking about was to defend the title of this event rather than how to perform the movements better."However,he soon adjusted his mindset,and at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games,he calmed down and made the last stand.
On August 3,2021,Zou Jingyuan won Men's Parallel Bars Final of the Tokyo Olympic Games with an absolute advantage of 16.233 points,and was crowned the new"Parallel Bars king".His gold medal is not only the 31st gold medal for the Chinese team in this Olympic Games,but also the first gold medal for Sichuan.Commentator Zou Kai praised Zou Jingyuan as performing the"textbook-style movements".
"The one-year deferral of the Tokyo Olympic Games is a good thing for me.At that time,I didn't think about anything else on the court.I thought it was the best movement I had performed for the past two years.I returned to my original aspiration and crossed the obstacle in my heart,"Zou Jingyuan said.
"Running towards the dreams together"
At present,Zou Jingyuan is a postgraduate of the Chengdu Sport University.Since he came to Chengdu at the age of 6,Zou Jingyuan has had an unseparable affection toward Chengdu."I have lived and trained in Chengdu for many years,and I like Chengdu very much.Now I'm back to Chengdu for training and living,and I feel very kind here."
In spare time,Zou Jingyuan has walked through the streets and alleys of Chengdu,getting feeling of the charm of this city little by little."Life in Chengdu is very relaxed,and everyone seems to enjoy it."Zou Jingyuan has visited all the scenic spots in Chengdu,enjoying all special snacks in Chengdu,and he likes the Giant Panda Base very much.
In Zou Jingyuan's eyes,Chengdu is a city with sports vitality and high popularity of sports."Chengdu has held many international sports events,competitive in event arrangement and organisation and rich in the experience,and it is capable of providing software and hardware support for competitive sports."In recent years,Chengdu has strongly supported the development of sports programs and events.To get prepared the Universiade,Chengdu has built the Fenghuang Mountain Sports Park,Dong'an Lake Sports Park,and stadiums and gymnasiums in Tianfu New Area and High-tech Zone.These measures have encouraged and enabled Chengdu residents to participate in sports more actively.
Chengdu has always been a"City of Sports".A bronze pot with patterns of shooting,hunting and fighting was unearthed in 1965,recording the scene of ancient Chengdu residents practicing archery more than 2300 years ago.Chengdu was also a popular place for polo in ancient times.The first civilian women's polo team in the world was born in Chengdu.
The Table Tennis World Cup and the 18th World Police and Fire Games were held in Chengdu in 2019,following which Chengdu successfully bidded"Four Major Competitions"-the 31st Summer Universiade,the 2022 World Team Table Tennis Championship,the 2024 Badminton Thomas-Uber Cup and the 2025 World Games.These events have rewritten the history that the
western China has never won the right to host world comprehensive events,and also made Chengdu the first city for sports events in western China during the 13th Five-year Plan period.
As the ambassador of the Chengdu Universiade,Zou Jingyuan said that the hosting of the Universiade is very important for Chengdu to build itself into a famous city for sports events.He also sang the promotion song"A Millennium Promise"at the Youth Singing Meeting of 2021 Universiade with the famous singer Ma Wei.As the song goes,he stands ready to"run towards the horizon of dreams"with the youth around the world.
