When My Husband and Coach Lifted Me on the Podium, I Realized: Love in Sports Isn’t About Winning

I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break yesterday, sipping my bubble tea when I stumbled upon this video from the National Games – Yang JiaYu, the gold medalist in women’s 20km race walking, being lifted up by her husband who also happens to be her coach. The way she described that moment – ‘I was completely stunned when he lifted me, then suddenly overwhelmed with happiness’ – hit me differently than your typical sports coverage.

You know what struck me most? Her voice in the interview had this slight tremble when she said ‘He was genuinely happy for me from the bottom of his heart.’ I could almost feel the mix of surprise and emotion through the screen – that moment when professional boundaries dissolved and pure personal joy took over.

It reminded me of my cousin’s wedding last year – her dance instructor husband spontaneously lifted her during their first dance, and her surprised laughter echoed through the hall. There’s something about these unscripted moments that no amount of planning can replicate. Yang’s husband probably didn’t think about cameras or protocols – he just acted on impulse, celebrating the woman he loves, not just the athlete he coaches.

What’s interesting is how these authentic moments travel across borders. My friend in Canada messaged me about this video, saying she got teary watching it during her morning commute. ‘This is why I keep trying to access Chinese sports coverage,’ she wrote, ‘even with all the geo-blocking headaches.’

The video quality wasn’t perfect when I first watched it – kept buffering every few seconds, probably because I was using public WiFi. But even through the stuttering playback, you could see the genuine emotion in their eyes. That’s the thing about real human moments – they don’t need 4K resolution to make an impact.

Yang mentioned they’ve been working together for years, balancing marriage and professional relationship. Must be challenging – imagine your spouse telling you to do one more lap when you’re already exhausted. But seeing them on that podium, you realize some partnerships just work, whether in sports or in life.

Honestly, I don’t follow race walking closely – can’t tell you the technical differences between their strides. But I don’t think you need to be a sports expert to appreciate what happened there. It’s one of those moments that makes you remember why we watch sports in the first place – not just for the competition, but for the human stories behind it.

Now I’m curious – have you ever witnessed a sports moment that gave you unexpected emotions? Maybe during the Olympics or even a local game? Share in the comments what athletic moment recently made you feel something genuine – sometimes we need these reminders that beyond all the training and strategy, there’s still room for spontaneous joy.
