A few days ago, Chinese track and field sprinter Xie Zhenye has completed the 2022 season debut, at the University of Florida held to Tom Jones Athletics Invitational Tournament, Xie Zhenye ran 10.27 seconds in the men's 100 meters event, and finally won the seventh place. For his own performance, Xie Zhenye said in an interview that the state has not yet reached the best, and he is not very satisfied with this result, and the biggest reason is that he has not participated in the competition for a long time and cannot find his own rhythm. When it comes to this season's goals, Xie Zhenye is still full of confidence. He revealed that he had close exchanges with Su Bingtian in private, and the two agreed to participate in this year's Hangzhou Asian Games and eugene World Championships.
It is worth mentioning that in order to prepare for the Athletics Invitational Tournament held in the United States, Xie Zhenye put into preparation very early. He was limitedly competitive in the men's 100m compared to the 200m, and the Tokyo Olympics failed to reach the final. As a member of the Chinese athletics team, Xie Zhenye's time and energy are mainly focused on the men's 200 meters and men's 4 by 100 meters relay events. He once joked, "In the 100-meter flying man war, domestic audiences can see Su Bingtian's figure on the field, and their pressure is much less."
Previously, the official platform of the World Athletics Federation has officially confirmed that the performance of the British team, the silver medallist in the men's 4×100 meters relay of the Tokyo Olympic Games, was cancelled, while the Chinese team that won the fourth place won the bronze medal. As a veteran of China's athletics sprinting project for many years, Xie Zhenye, together with Su Bingtian, Wu Zhiqiang and Tang Xingqiang, finally won the first Olympic medal of his career. He said that although the current physical fitness and competitive state have fluctuated greatly, his dream is still there, and he still has the belief in running.
As long as there are no injuries in the body, Xie Zhenye can really stand on the podium at the Paris Olympic Games. For his season debut, Xie Zhenye directly called "not ideal". In his opinion, the 10.27 seconds in the world, there is no advantage to speak of, to run into the world's top eight, there is still a long way to go. Interestingly, after learning that the good brother Su Bingtian has begun to prepare for the Hangzhou Asian Games and the World Championships. Xie Zhenye also said that he can't drag his feet, after all, the most important task this year is to compare with the Hangzhou Asian Games.
In addition to the men's 200 meters, Xie Zhenye most wants to win the gold medal in the men's 4×100 meters relay. Judging from the competitive situation in Asian athletics, the Chinese team is the biggest favorite to win the Hangzhou Asian Games in this project. Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang and Tang Xingqiang have been fighting side by side for many years and have constantly refreshed the best results in history. When asked if the Chinese team could win the men's relay championship at the Asian Games, Xie Zhenye replied emphatically, "As long as there is no mistake in the bats exchange, this gold medal is ours"!
