After the game, Shi Zhiyong posted a short video on the social platform with the caption:
"I'm really sorry to everyone that it ends this way! It started like a dream, but ended in tragedy! I don't know what to say, but life must go on! I hope I can adjust to my current state soon."
In the video, Shi Zhiyong walks sideways and limps.
In an interview, Shi Zhiyong blamed himself for the result. He said: "I'm sorry to the Chinese weightlifting team. Everyone has always trusted me and given me the best support, but I failed to make a contribution. I think I failed."
"I didn't win a gold medal or even a medal for China. This Olympics was a failure for me, but the entire preparation process was successful.Because I really gave it my all.”Shi Zhiyong couldn't help crying, "I get acupuncture every morning and evening.My belief is to win the championship.This is the reason I kept going. I didn’t expect this would be the outcome. The team gave me the best medical care, the best security, and the best green channel.But I failed to make a contribution to the team..."
Many netizens flocked to Shi Zhiyong's comment area to send him blessings and encouragement - "It's great", "You are still our Olympic champion", "Have a good rest""Some courage already weighs a thousand pounds"
Courage has already weighed a thousand pounds.
