From Rio to Tokyo, and then to Paris, the 30-year-old Shi Zhiyong persisted all the way, but failed to stand on the Olympic podium for the third consecutive time. In the early morning of August 9, in the men's 73kg weightlifting competition at the Paris Olympics, Shi Zhiyong failed in all three clean and jerks despite leading the second place by 10kg in the snatch.

Throughout the Paris Olympic cycle, Shi Zhiyong struggled with a back injury for a long time and did not participate in competitions for nearly two and a half years. He did not return until the Qatar Grand Prix at the end of last year. After the competition, Shi Zhiyong burst into tears and said frankly that the national team gave him the best protection, but he failed to make a contribution and felt sorry for the Chinese weightlifting team. Shi Zhiyong said that the Olympics was the spiritual pillar that kept him going for the past few years, and now it was time to consider retirement.
