Some netizens suggested that he "retire now"! Love him or respect his decision, Su Bingtian decided to "focus on the big and let go of the small" body | Su Bingtian | Netizens
Asia's top 100 meter athlete, Su Bingtian, announced on social media today that due to health reasons, he has decided to withdraw from the upcoming World Athletics Championships and Asian Games Athletics Trials, and end the 2023 season ahead of schedule.
"If you want to achieve results at next year's Olympics, you have to take it easy this year." "Unfortunately, I look forward to seeing you next season"... This Weibo post has sparked widespread attention and discussion, and many netizens have expressed their support and expectations for Su Bingtian - most people are looking forward to his return at the Paris Olympics, but some netizens believe that "Su Shen's retirement is also a wise choice." "
As a leading figure in the Chinese athletics team, Su Bingtian is indeed facing enormous challenges at present. He is already 34 years old, which is the advanced age of his career for a sprinter.
In competitive sports, whether an athlete can perform at their best level in competitions and achieve good results in major events depends on their physical condition. For 34 year old Su Bingtian, years of high-intensity training and competition undoubtedly put a certain burden on his body.
Especially with age, athletes will experience varying degrees of decline in various bodily functions, which is particularly evident for sprinters, and the impact of injuries will also be greater.
In addition, although we cannot determine the specific changes in physical function that Su Bingtian refers to after the epidemic, we can speculate that the epidemic may have had an impact on his training and preparation, which is also one of the reasons why he chose to temporarily suspend the game.
Overall, Su Bingtian chose to give up this season out of consideration for his health. He hopes to recover his body to its best condition through a period of rest and adjustment, so that he can give it his all at the Paris Olympics. According to his statement, he will use the following time for deep recovery, which means he may go through a heavy period of physical adjustment and recovery. Of course, for Su Bingtian, there must be rich experience and professional guidance on how to properly manage rest time, conduct moderate training, and have reasonable rehabilitation.
Anyway, this is a wise and brave decision. Because giving up a season means losing some game points, which may affect his position in international rankings. However, for Su Bingtian, maintaining physical health and performing at his best level are the goals he pursues.
Of course, some people are also worried: can Su Bingtian really make a comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics? This is indeed not easy for "Su Shen".
The competition standards for the athletics events at the Paris Olympics have become stricter compared to the past, with a men's 100 meter dash requirement of 10 seconds, which undoubtedly added considerable difficulties to Su Bingtian's comeback journey. According to the rules, athletes can obtain a spot in the Paris Olympics through two channels. 50% of the seats will be obtained by meeting the competition standards; The other 50% of seats are determined by the International Association of Athletics Federations ranking. This also means that Su Bingtian needs to not only restore his physical condition during the recovery process, but also accumulate enough game points and improve his ranking, which is undoubtedly a great challenge.
As for the netizens who suggested that Su Bingtian retire now, it was mostly out of kindness. On the one hand, they hope that Su Bingtian can stay away from the risk of major injuries and illnesses; Furthermore, it is a wiser choice to retire after achieving the highest career achievement. "After all, it's not easy for Su Shen to return to his peak at this age," said a netizen.
Although netizens have a good starting point, whether to retire or not depends entirely on Su Bingtian's own decision. Based on today's statement, Su Bingtian's decision is not driven by a shift in his love for athletics, but rather by taking care of his body and planning for greater victories in the future. One thing is certain: Su Bingtian's goals are still clear, and his will is still resolute. He has made it clear to the world that his goal is the 2024 Paris Olympics.
So we should respect his choices, whether he chooses to retire or continue to persist, we should give him the greatest support and respect. After all, every athlete is striving for their dreams and love in their own way.
