Triathlon goddess Feng Jingshuang, who won the championship in the Ironman Triathlon in Chengdu, has attracted attention for her unique racing attire and fair complexion. Old photos of her have been dug up, sparking controversy over plastic surgery, but she responded by stating it was merely minor adjustments and emphasized her hard work. She revealed that her fair skin is due to the use of sunscreen and genetic factors. Feng Jingshuang excels in swimming and cycling in triathlons, playing a significant role in promoting the sport. Unlike other controversial athletes, she prioritizes performance over marketing her appearance.
Feng Jingshuang, hailed as the goddess of the Ironman Triathlon, gained fame after winning the championship in Chengdu. Her distinctive racing attire and exceptionally fair skin sparked numerous discussions. Controversy regarding her attire emerged as early as 2022, with Feng insisting it was legitimate competition gear. Her rise to fame was propelled by both official and social media’s rapid dissemination, resulting in increased attention and inevitably, detractors.
Now dubbed the goddess of the Ironman Triathlon, Feng owes her popularity to her fit physique and appealing appearance. Why did Wu Yanni become famous? Simply due to her exceptional looks. However, netizens unearthed Wu Yanni’s old photos, revealing a stark contrast with her current appearance, leading to accusations of plastic surgery. Similarly, when Feng Jingshuang’s old photos surfaced, differences were inevitable, leading to similar accusations. Yet, what she presents to the public is her best self; we should acknowledge her efforts instead of digging up negative aspects.
It’s evident that her past and present photos bear a striking resemblance, perhaps with minor adjustments. She might have been slightly heavier before, as she was only 16 years old at the time, still in adolescence. With age, she has slimmed down, aided by makeup techniques, rendering those photos not exactly “black history.” Cosmetic issues are easily resolved with makeup, but achieving such fair skin remains a mystery. After all, triathlons involve swimming, cycling, and running, not indoor activities.
Fans inquired why Feng Jingshuang’s complexion is so fair, to which she replied that the secret lies in diligently applying sunscreen. While sunscreen plays a role, genetic factors cannot be overlooked; Feng Jingshuang naturally has a complexion resistant to tanning. Regarding the discomfort from cycling, Feng Jingshuang explained that as a professional triathlete, prolonged training distributes strength evenly to the limbs. When cycling at high speeds, the buttocks are hardly on the seat, hence minimal discomfort. Feng Jingshuang emphasized the specificity of the cycling component in triathlons, where road bikes may cause some discomfort, necessitating padded seats for long races. However, she has developed resilience through training.
Swimming is Feng Jingshuang’s forte, cycling is decent, but running is her weakness. With her rising fame, triathlons are gradually gaining public recognition, largely due to her efforts in promoting the sport. Unlike controversial athletes who lack achievements to boast about yet relentlessly market their appearance, Feng Jingshuang is different. She seldom discusses her own achievements but undeniably has some. Of course, she also openly markets her appearance. Since both aspects involve marketing appearance, why not embrace someone visually appealing?
