Born in 1984, Lü Xiaojun is 37 years old, and in the previously concluded Tokyo Olympic Games, Lu Xiaojun, as the elder of the three Olympic dynasties, successfully won the men's 81 kg championship and made himself the oldest Olympic gold medalist in the weightlifting arena. The athlete, who is known to the outside world as the "God of War", has repeatedly surpassed the limits of his body and age, and used his arms to lift up the "Chinese power" on the Olympic field. And Lu Xiaojun himself, with his beautiful muscles and textbook-level weightlifting movements, not only gained a large group of fans in China, but also gained a large number of admirers in foreign fitness circles.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Lu Xiaojun, like other athletes, went through a 21-day quarantine period. For athletes of Lu Xiaojun's age group, it is not easy to recover in a short period of time for athletes of Lu Xiaojun's age group. Lu Xiaojun, who had just returned to the Tianjin Tuanbo Sports Center after isolation, once told the media that barbells were like his brothers, "I haven't touched barbells for more than twenty days, and I miss my brother too much." ”
From the end of the quarantine to the fourteenth luck of the army, the adjustment and preparation cycle left for Lü Xiaojun at that time was only a short period of three weeks, and the difficulty of preparing for war could be imagined. On the afternoon of September 22, less than a few hours before the men's 81 kg competition, the news of Lu Xiaojun's withdrawal from the National Games came out. It is understood that Lü Xiaojun had two muscle strains in the process of preparing for the National Games, and the Tianjin delegation and the weightlifting coaching team decided to let Lü Xiaojun withdraw from the National Games on the evening of the 22nd under the premise of ensuring The physical health of Lü Xiaojun himself.
