After the National Games, athletes in various fields have set off a wave of retirement, and the swimming team has once again sent a very heart-wrenching news, and Li Zhuhao, the male swimmer of the Chinese swimming team, has decided to retire. Li Zhuhao belongs to the top athletes in the world in his professional butterfly field, and the swimmers who heard the news were heartbroken, but still expressed respect for the decision he made. The 22-year-old swimming champion transformed into a coach, and the National Games just won a medal, and the reason for retiring was painful.
Born in 1999 in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, Mr. Li is only 22 years old. At the age of 14, Li Zhuhao was selected for the Zhejiang Provincial Team with excellent performance, excellent talent coupled with the professional guidance of the provincial team, Li Zhuhao improved rapidly, and in the 2014 Youth Olympic Games held in Nanjing, he successfully won the gold medal in the 100-meter butterfly event, standing on the highest podium for the first time. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, 17-year-old Li Zhuhao competed with some of the world's top athletes, and finally won the fifth place.
After the Rio Olympics, in the domestic arena, Li Zhuhao encountered opponents and became the core of the Chinese men's swimming team. In the 2018 World Cup, Li Zhuhao faced the siege of the other 7 players from Japan in the final, not only withstood the pressure, but also created a rare "1v7" strong championship miracle. Not only that, Li Zhuhao also won the 100-meter butterfly event in the World Cup in Singapore later.
Unfortunately, due to injuries, Li Zhuhao was no longer in a state and lost the Tokyo Olympic squad. At this year's National Games, Li Zhuhao only participated in the men's 100m butterfly event, winning the silver medal in this competition. Due to the accumulation of injuries and the high requirements of the butterfly program on the state of the body, Li Zhuhao had no choice but to retire, leaving his position to younger and more motivated young players and turning to the coaching field, which is also a good choice.
