"I want to hold out for another three years and see if I can conquer Paris." Shi Zhiyong said after the game.
After returning from the Tokyo Olympics, Shi Zhiyong only had 3 weeks of systematic training time, and his physical condition was not very good, "acupuncture was needed at every turn". Before the Start of the National Games, he thought it would be nice to win the title.
'Actually, today's state is not very good, but before the game, someone always asks me when I will break the record again, which makes me have to break through myself." In the competition on the same day, Shi Zhiyong chose to increase the weight of the test lift after winning the gold medal and challenged the national record he held, and after the success of the challenge, Shi Zhiyong gave up his last attempt.

"I don't think I can lift anymore, I don't have the strength to lift 200 kilograms, otherwise I will get hurt." Shi Zhiyong, who gave himself up on the field, clearly knew the boundaries of his strength.
Shi Zhiyong is no longer a young general, he participated in four National Games, but only three years away from the Paris Olympic Games, Shi Zhiyong wants to stick to it. "In fact, every kilogram I break through, I get tired. For the next Olympics, I need to maintain a certain number of results so that I can qualify for it, which requires me to work hard. ”
To this end, Shi Zhiyong chose to fight steadily. After the National Games, he intends to adjust first, and then try to beat the next record at the Asian Games. "In Hangzhou, there will be a lot of people cheering for me, and I will be more energetic." Shi Zhiyong said.
On the 22nd, the men's 81 kg competition was also held in the same venue, and the Olympic champion Lu Xiaojun failed to participate for some reason, and finally Chongqing's Li Dayin won the championship with a total score of 364 kg.
