For the 24-year-old Su Weide, the memory left to him by this event is undoubtedly difficult and bitter. Whether it was the two dropped bars in the men's gymnastics team competition or his individual instability when landing on the men's horizontal bar competition, he felt guilty. After the game, he was interviewed by reporters in the mixed interview area.
First, he talked about his adjustments after the men's gymnastics team competition. "After the men's team competition, everyone felt very uncomfortable. I especially blame myself because the team asked me to come here to 'put out the fire', but because of my fault, the team lost the men's team gold medal, so said I’m especially sorry for the Chinese Gymnastics Team and those who support the Chinese Gymnastics Team.”
He said that the men’s team’s mistakes made him reflect more in subsequent games. “It may be a direction issue or a technical issue,” he said. Give me a reminder so that I can be more comprehensive in the future. All the fear of comes from the lack of firepower. I think I am still far behind, so this Olympics is an opportunity given to me by God, but I I’m really not ready. ”
In fact, after the men’s gymnastics competition, there were a lot of “attacks” on Su Weide on the Internet. In this regard, Su Weide admitted very frankly: "I think the impact on me is actually not bad, because I have to stand upright when I am beaten, and I accept all criticism. This is a kind of growth for me. Indeed, if you make a mistake, you have to admit it. It's not about avoiding or escaping."
Su Weide revealed that after the team competition, Zhang Chenglong, who coached the Shandong team, sent himself a text, "There is a line in it that is the most important. He said, 'Losing is not terrible. It's scary to be afraid of losing. I feel like I didn't finish it smoothly today, but I feel I've defeated myself a little bit, but not completely."
There seemed to be tears in Su Weide's eyes as he spoke. When a reporter asked about the next Olympic cycle, Su Weide seemed a little confused, "For the next cycle... I think I need to reflect on myself for a period of time after finishing the competition... After this experience, I feel that I It takes some time to digest it, not just a few days."
