Chinese track and field post-00 youngsters realize their dreams in ParisThe 2023 season has set a number of new records, attracting attention
The Chinese national track and field team is currently in full swing for winter training, and their main team members are striving for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In the men's middle distance race, Liu Dezhu, a young player from Guangxi, has attracted people's attention, and he is also a popular candidate for this competition. His biggest dream is to go to Paris and set a new record for Chinese athletics.
Although the Chinese track and field team met the requirements of Paris in all nine events, the officials still said that the final participants still need to be determined by the coaching teams of each country. Before the end of the Olympic qualifiers, some athletes who have already met the standards are also in danger of being replaced, which brings great difficulties to China's track and field competitions.
As one of the earliest middle-distance athletes in China, Liu Dezhu has won many championships in the National Championships and Asian Championships. However, at the Tokyo Olympics, he did not get a ticket because his overall performance at the Olympics was not good. In order to fulfill his dream of the Paris Olympics, Liu Dezhu has strengthened his efforts in the past two seasons and has made great progress.
In 2023, Liu Dezhu set the men's 800m world record twice, especially at the Asian Championships in Bangkok, where he ranked fourth in Chinese track and field history with a speed of 1:46.77. In the 1500-meter indoor race, he broke the national record. Liu Dezhu won the gold medal of the "2022 Asian Athletics Games" with a precious bronze medal, which is also the record that China has held an unbroken gold medal in this event for 23 years.
Although Liu Dezhu only ranked 6th in the Hangzhou Asian Games, he ran 3 hours and 41 hours in the 1500-meter raceA good score of 73. Although there is still some way to go to qualify for the Paris Olympics, Liu said that he will still work hard next season and may have a magical result.
