Games in Tokyo.
"As the 2020 Olympic Games approaching, I believe Lee Wai Sze can win a gold through hard training," Shen said in a recent interview with Xinhua.
Shen, born in Shanghai in 1953, was selected into the Shanghai Cycling Team and within a year joined the cycling team of China. By the late 1970s [url=http://www.2018footballdraft.com/Kerryon-Johnson-Jersey/]Kerryon Johnson Lions Jersey[/url] , he was widely recognized as one of China's best cyclists on account of his outstanding competition results.
"My life was supposed to end. It is cycling that kept me moving forward, "said Shen, who lost his left leg in saving his teammate from an injury following a training accident in 1980.
Shen did not give up the cycling career that he has always ardently loved and decided to enroll as a college student on the third day after the accident, hoping to further develop cycling using his intellectual strength.
"There was no time to think too much, and life has to go on [url=http://www.2018footballdraft.com/Kemoko-Turay-Jersey/]Kemoko Turay Colts Jersey[/url] ," said Shen, who entered into the Shanghai University of Sport and later pursued postgraduate studies at the Beijing Sport University.
He further showed his talent in cycling after being appointed as chief coach of China's men's cycling team and led the team to win the first Asian Games gold medal for China in Seoul in 1986.
In 1994, six months before the Asian Games in Hiroshima, Shen was invited to Hong Kong to be a guest coach. He was surprised by the insufficient training resources of the cycling team when he first arrived.
"We have no equipment, no training program and even no office to gather the cyclists. They have to meet at a convenience store and eat their breakfast along the way for training. Sometimes they even have to borrow jerseys for their race. It's totally unprofessional [url=http://www.2018footballdraft.com/Justin-Reid-Jersey/]Justin Reid Packers Jersey[/url] ," said Shen.
He urged the Cycling Association of Hong Kong to make cyclists train full time. After three months of training, cyclist Wong Kam Po ranked 4th in the road race and missed a medal by only 4 seconds at the Asian Games in Hiroshima.
Winning the 4th place gave Wong more confidence and he set his eyes on the gold.
"To win the championship, then the next 4 years, you will have to ride 150,000 km [url=http://www.2018footballdraft.com/Josh-Rosen-Jersey/]Josh Rosen Cardinals Jersey[/url] , and also have to use one year for specialized training tactics, you won't have a holiday. Can you do that? " Shen asked.
"I can do it, as long as you are the coach, I will be your athlete," Wong answered.
Shen then accepted the position as head coach of the cycling team.
With his extensive connection with the mainland [url=http://www.2018footballdraft.com/Josh-Jackson-Jersey/]Josh Jackson Packers Jersey[/url] , Shen introduced a scientific training system, with talents such as coaches, sports scientists and physiotherapists to serve Hong Kong cyclists, thus improving their performance. It also made a great impact on the development of the sport in Hong Kong.
