"Not just a gold medal, I also want a new world record. This is me!" Shi Zhiyong explained on social media the last choice in the Olympics-the second attempt of the clean and jerk, 192 kilograms, was sentenced to fail. , He decided to directly lift the world record weight for the third one, 198 kilograms.
It is shocking, but it is also passionate and passionate enough.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, Shi Zhiyong continued to practice his passionate creed in the men's weightlifting 73 kg final of the 14th National Games.
After the second snatch was successful, he ranked first with a score of 165 kg.
But in the last snatch, he again unexpectedly claimed a weight of 170 kg-1 kg heavier than his own world record.
There is no suspense.
Shi Zhiyong roared and steadily raised the barbell.
Before the three white lights that represented the success of the lift were lit, he supported the barbell and scanned the audience, seeming to announce to everyone that this is his era.
The Weinan Sports Center is boiling.
In the next clean and jerk, Shi Zhiyong ignited the arena again.
He successfully lifted 195 kg with his iconic squat, surpassing his own world record (364 kg) with a total score of 395 kg.
After dropping the barbell, he held his fingers to the sky and roared "Who else" twice, showing his domineering.
At the Tokyo Olympics not long ago, he also vented so presumptuously.
Where does this passion and passion come from?
"Perseverance, hard work, hard work, these three things have always been stamped in my heart, and only if I have done it can I have a chance on the court." Shi Zhiyong replied decisively after the game.
He said that in fact, today the coach does not want him to snatch and lift 170 kg, which will increase the risk of injury, but since he is on the field, he must break through himself, especially when he hears cheering from the audience and weightlifting fans, and wants to show on the field. Himself, "Be presumptuous and let go on stage, and compare like a madman."
In fact, weightlifting has been a somewhat tedious exercise in the eyes of the public for a long time.
Shi Zhiyong's passion for "comparing like a madman", and the courage to charge the world record almost every time, is the most embarrassing, and it also highlights the charm of weightlifting.
Bringing the distance between the public and weightlifting is exactly what Shi Zhiyong is doing recently.
During the quarantine period after the Tokyo Olympics, Chinese weightlifting team athletes posted quarantine diaries, but no one created the quarantine diary into a "serial" like Shi Zhiyong. He played the role of coach and athlete alone, showing a humorous side beyond passion. Call on netizens to work out together.
"There are more and more people working out now. This is a good phenomenon. We weightlifters have to lead everyone to work out." Shi Zhiyong said.
Shi Zhiyong, who has won two consecutive Olympic championships and broke world records many times, is great enough, but he still feels not enough.
He said that there are still three years left for the Paris Olympics, and three consecutive Olympic champions are the next goal.
But he also admitted that preparing for the Paris Olympic cycle is more difficult than the Tokyo Olympic cycle.
"As we get older, recovery will be much slower, and the harder part is the injury."
In fact, one month before the start of the Tokyo Olympics, Shi Zhiyong strained his thigh and could not practice snatch and clean and jerk for more than half a month. He only resumed initial training after arriving in Tokyo.
For five years, he has been fighting back injuries.
Even before the National Games, he received acupuncture on his waist.
"In the past two years, I have participated more intensively. Every time I competed for the world record, it had a greater impact on my body." Shi Zhiyong said that in the arena, I can fight hard and climb to the top, but I have to train hard. As a guarantee.
For the Paris Olympics, he also needs to continue to adjust his physical condition to maintain a better level of competition.
Training with injuries and playing for the world record is the belief of a great champion.
The persistence over the years has left him no time to take care of the important matters of marriage.
After winning the Tokyo Olympic champion, he shouted to his girlfriend, "Let you wait a long time, go home and marry you."
After the National Games, he was asked when he would finish his marriage, but the man who was arrogant on the court smiled shyly: "It is inconvenient to disclose it as it is going on." (End)
