As an authentic Zhejiang native, Zhu Zhigen has participated in 6 Olympic Games and 12 National Games as an athlete and coach since 1971, and won 3 Olympic gold medals and 36 National Games gold medals for Zhejiang. It can be said that he not only participated in the whole process of swimming development in Zhejiang, but also witnessed the glorious course of Zhejiang competitive sports.
Zhu Zhigen said————
As a coach, he deeply feels that competitive sports are like sailing against the current, to live to learn from the old, only by constantly learning and constantly exploring new training concepts and methods can we always maintain a high standard. Take the training preparation of this cycle, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the rhythm of preparation has been disrupted, in order to enable athletes to maintain a good training state, change their thinking, try to adopt a "small cycle" training mode, strengthen special physical training, and achieve better training results. At the same time, Zhu Dao actively did a good job in "passing on help" and passed on his coaching experience to more coaches.
Zhu Zhigen said: "This year I am 64 years old, and I have many physical illnesses, but I still have a dream, that is, to continue to shine on the stage of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Paris Olympic Games, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao National Games, strive to win more gold medals, and strive to achieve more athletes on the highest podium." ”
"The journey is long, but there is only struggle." Zhu Zhigen said————
I believe that under the correct leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, Zhejiang sports people will definitely keep in mind the original mission of "winning glory for the country and winning color for the province", continue to work hard, and achieve a new leap forward in the new journey!
