The Zhejiang sports delegation at the 14th National Games of Shaanxi ranked 3rd in the gold medal list of the 14th Games after Shandong and Guangdong with a score of 44 gold, 35 silver and 37 bronze. The frequent success reports have allowed zhejiang to fully enjoy the joy of competitive sports and revel in the infinite charm of the Olympic movement. The excellent performance of Zhejiang athletes has effectively interpreted the breakthrough, inheritance, responsibility, touching and gratitude, and brought warmth, confidence and strength to people.
From now on, the Sports News has successively launched the special planning of "Our Olympic And National Games Journey", face-to-face interviews with representatives of the Tokyo Olympic Champion and the Champion of the Shaanxi National Games, to understand the stories inside and outside the arena and in front of and behind the scenes, aiming to convey the youthful power of optimism and self-confidence and vigor, further stimulate the spirit of self-improvement in the whole society, and encourage the broad masses of the people to pursue excellence and strive for good results in their respective posts, and move forward towards a higher goal.
"Not just the gold medal, I want a new world record. That's me! After the Tokyo Olympics, Shi Zhiyong explained on social media the choice of the last move on the Olympic field - the second attempt to lift 192 kilograms was judged to be failed, and he decided to directly lift the world record weight of the third, 198 kilograms. It's shocking, but it's also bloody and passionate.
At the Shaanxi National Games, Shi Zhiyong continued to practice his creed of blood. There is no suspense. With a roar, Shi Zhiyong steadily lifted the barbell and won the championship with a total score of 365 kg, surpassing his world record (364 kg). He scanned the room and seemed to be announcing to everyone that this was his time. After dropping the barbell, he pointed to the sky and roared twice, "Who else" and showed his domineering spirit. Not long ago, at the Tokyo Olympics, he was also so brazenly cathartic.
Where does this passion and passion come from? "Persistence, hard work, hard work, these three things have always been imprinted in my heart, and I have done them in order to have a chance on the field." On November 5, Shi Zhiyong walked into the studio of Zhejiang Sports Fusion Media Center and talked about his Olympic and National Games trip. In this interview, we found that Shi Zhiyong, who was domineering on the field and the champion gave up on me, was a cute big boy with a little bit of humility under the field.
Q: Moderator A: Shi Zhiyong
Q
I heard you almost missed this train for the Tokyo Olympics?
A: It's not that we can't catch this last train, because the International Association has a rule that we can't change it after the 4 of us men have set it. I was injured on June 23 (the opening of the Tokyo Olympics on July 28), and I couldn't lift the barbell for about 18 days, and I was seen as a gold medalist, so the pressure was very high. At that time, I also told the coach about this, but in the end the coach said: "You are mentally prepared, it is impossible to change people." ”
Injured at such a critical juncture and unable to train, how do you relieve psychological stress?
A: I also have to vent my emotions when I am under pressure, I can't keep my heart stuffed, I can only discharge my pressure to the coach and team doctor. The two of them behaved more calmly, and they were unlikely to tell me the truth and say that your situation was not very good. They comforted me and said, you have had this situation before the game before, but it is very good, now we still have time, there is still a month to recover, I believe that this month we have mastered the rhythm of training, when the game we all believe that you are fine. Anyway, it was half fooled and half "cheated" over.
Is there anyone else who knows about this besides the leaders and coaches?
A: This news is definitely an explosive news, the media will also rush to report, indeed everyone is also very concerned about me, but in addition to caring, in fact, they can not help me, but it will have an impact on my mental adjustment. So we have always been closed and have not spoken to the outside world.
If you don't play well in the Olympic Games, and others don't know your situation, you may be insulted, are you worried?
A: I really didn't think about this, I just thought about the first point, because I was strained on June 23, and after about a week, I thought it was okay, so I went to continue the intensity training, and then caused the second strain, so my biggest concern was that I was afraid that the muscles would not be able to withstand the intensity of the game during the day's game, and it would be broken directly on the spot. If the scene is cut off, it is basically 200% impossible for me to finish the game. So my biggest concern is whether this follow-up will break for the third time. Isn't there a scene during the game? After I finished 198, I said two "who else"? In fact, it also contains a pressure of my own, because I really put a lot of pressure on myself, and the outside world also puts a lot of pressure on us. What I mean when I say "who else" is that it doesn't matter if all of you put pressure on me, I can stand it.
Did you find any places that particularly impressed you on this trip to the Tokyo Olympics?
A: Due to the pandemic, the Tokyo Olympics are a very special Olympics. All of our athletes are in the village, and we will meet many athletes from our same province, including Wang Shun, Wang Yilu, Zheng Siwei, Huang Yaqiong, etc. After meeting, everyone will greet each other. I was holding the third gold medal in the province, and when I met Wang Shun after I finished it, I said, "Brother come on, I have completed the task, see you." He said, "Brother, show me the gold medal, I'll have a chance to get one in a few days, I'll take a look at it first." ”
More than a month after the end of the Olympic Games, the national games have begun again, is there anything different about the mentality of you going to the National Games?
A: I think the biggest burden I carry at the National Games is not to win the championship, but to break the record. We were in quarantine after we came back from Tokyo, and I couldn't train during this time. But I knew in my heart that I was going to the National Games after the quarantine, so I had to stay in shape. It wasn't until I returned to the Ningbo base on August 30 that I began to recover from grabbing 100 kg and jerking 130 kg. It took about 20 days, and then the training returned to 163 kg, 190 kg, and that time was really painful. ”
Are you a talented player or an effort type player?
A: I would say that effort outweighs talent, but talent does have a little bit, after all, we belong to this kind of competitive sport, and everyone's body structure may be different. But hard work is definitely indispensable, and I am still training very hard in the team.
It's been more than a decade since you've been practicing weightlifting, what kind of existence is weightlifting for you now? Is it still your hobby, or has it become your job assignment?
A: I think it's more about loving, loving this project. If you want to talk about work, it's too simple, we just have to go to work and commute. Only after I really like it will I spend more effort to study, and then want to make a big and big career.
See you posted a lot of videos about fishing, do you like fishing a lot?
A: I've loved fishing since I was a kid. When we were very young, our children in the countryside did not go to class on weekends, so I took a fishing rod and a fishing line to herd cattle, and after the cattle were released, I fished next to them and let the cows graze on their own. Until now, I have always liked fishing, sitting for a day, from six o'clock in the morning to dark.
Netizens have always said that you are very "Versailles" what is the matter?
A: There must have been a question asked: "Why do you want to break records every time you play?" "I said we were all champions in our team and I would only feel more accomplished if I broke the record.
