Su Bingtian announced his withdrawal from the competition, but was shouted by netizens "Retire" Don't let Su Shen become the second Liu Xiang

On the 100-meter track of the Hangzhou Asian Games, we can't see Su Bingtian.

On his social platform, Su Shen said that due to physical reasons, he decided not to participate in the upcoming World Championships and Asian Games athletics trials, and ended the 2023 season early.

I suddenly remembered some moments of the Asian Games in Jakarta five years ago. At that time, Su Bingtian had won and lost.

In the 100-meter final, Xie Zhenye was not there, he was a little lonely. Around him, stood full of fierce opponents - Ryota Yamagata, Ogunod Jr., Yang Junhan... But Su Shen didn't give them any chance. 9.92 seconds, breaking the record of the competition, even if it is a one-man battle, he can raise the five-star red flag high. The opponent is also convinced. At that time, Japan's number one 100-meter genius Yamagata said bluntly, "Su Bingtian is indeed too strong, I can't catch up with him." ”

In the relay final, with Xie Zhenye and Liang Jinsheng injured one after another, Su Bingtian's teammates made him extremely strange. To be precise, in addition to him, Xu Haiyang, Mi Hong, and Xu Zhouzheng are all participating in the Asian Games for the first time. He rarely appeared in the preliminary round, but still could not lead the team to win the gold medal. But back in the dressing room, he called the young people together and took a group photo: "This time, it's good to increase experience." ”

He was asked, "29-year-old, do you think you're past your golden age?" ”。 His answer was simple but firm, "As long as you work hard, this is not a fact that can stop everything." "Yes, just like the Monkey King in the comic "Dragon Ball" that Su Bingtian admires the most, when it is strong, it is strong, and the more adversity it is, the more able it is to resist.

It is nothing that people are old, the most important thing is that the heart is not old.

We all know the story of the following years. Su Bingtian is getting older and faster. At that time, becoming the first yellow man to break 9.90 seconds had already been achieved at the Tokyo Olympics, and his name became a catch-up goal for many young people. Over the years, he ran alone at the front, surpassing all the impossible one by one, and for Chinese sprinting, it was like that light, guiding those who came after him to keep moving forward.

Fortunately, when Su Bingtian said that he ended the season early, he received almost unanimous blessings: "Rest well, we'll see you in the Olympics", "Rest is to return better", "Only every three years to enlarge the recruitment, after 21, it is just 24 years", "Wait for you to return with full blood!" Looking forward to seeing you again in Paris"...

For Su Bingtian's decision, everyone expressed positive feedback. Although his withdrawal almost means that China will most likely lose the opportunity to defend the men's 100m title and regain the 100m relay title at the Asian Games, everyone is still full of respect for the veteran who has defended China's 100m sprint glory for so many years. After all, the current farewell is to better pursue the dream of Paris.

But below the comments of Su Shen's text, there are still some negative replies such as "retire", "the money is almost earned, I can't run"... Of course, this was also criticized by more netizens - "You were the one who scolded Liu Xiang back then", "He retired and you went to run 9.83? "Retired you on top? Take a keyboard and babble"...

Liu Xiang's tragedy seems to be still in front of us - we can't say a few words lightly, and we will ruin a genius. If after Liu Xiang, the leader of Chinese athletics for so many years is Su Bingtian, then how can we be willing to give Su Bingtian those accusations and abuses that Liu Xiang should not have suffered in the first place.

After so many years of online violence, we all said that we owe Liu Xiang a word of sorry. And this time, when a 34-year-old veteran chooses to rest and return, are some people once again out of patience? Could it be that in the eyes of these spectators, these national heroes are so unbearable, just "actors" and "liars", without the slightest enterprising? If it weren't for the unspeakable, if it wasn't really impossible to stick to it, who would give up the opportunity to win glory for the country?

It can be said that Su Bingtian's career will not be too long. The World Championships and the Asian Games are not comparable, and the Paris Olympics are very likely to be Su Shen's retirement battle. No matter what kind of state he ended up in, and what rank he ended up with, we should applaud him – don't let the hero chill, and don't let Liu Xiang's tragedy happen again. After all, if you once hurt the hero by verbally accusing the pen, what is the use of a word of sorry years later?
