In the early morning of August 1, Beijing time, in the men's individual all-around final of the Paris Olympics gymnastics, Chinese players Zhang Boheng and Xiao Ruoteng won the silver and bronze medals respectively. On the evening of the 1st, Xiao Ruoteng posted a farewell to the Paris Olympics.
The full text is as follows:
I ended my Paris Olympics and I want to say a lot, thank you a lot, I can only say it slowly. Let's just talk about myself, to get to the point where I am today, it's not easy, it's not easy, I say it's not easy, it's really not easy!
The team competition is heartbroken, and the all-around competition is like a soulless one day later. I hover between sensibility and reason, I accept me, I accept pathos, either I have pathos, I am pathos.
But since we have been able to represent the motherland in the all-round role, we must do our best, do everything we can, and perform well.
My friend said that life is important, I think life must be important, but when I go out for the country, the mission is even more important, so that the light of life can be reflected!
I hope that my spirit of never giving up and persevering to the end in the face of difficulties and challenges is enough to help you! I've been wrestling with me for a long time, I'd rather be me!

"I cried because I felt that I didn't play well, and I felt very sorry. You might say that my last Olympics, I gave so much, I endured injuries, and I missed out on a gold medal, but that's always the way life goes. The 28-year-old said emotionally.
This Paris Olympics may be Xiao Ruoteng's last Olympic Games. According to the plan, he was supposed to retire after the Tokyo Olympics, but for the sake of his undying Olympic dream, Xiao Ruoteng persisted for another Olympic cycle despite injury.
On the eve of this expedition, the old shoulder injury came to "add chaos" again, Xiao Ruoteng did not hesitate at all, closed up, and came to Paris with the mentality of "finishing his work in one battle".
During the game, he successfully completed his movements and raised his arms to celebrate after landing on the ground, unaware that his arm was broken and bleeding. Sadly, however, he missed out on the Olympic gold medal once again.
According to public information, Xiao Ruoteng, born in Beijing on January 30, 1996, is a Chinese gymnast.
In 2016, Xiao Ruoteng was not selected for the Olympic squad due to an elbow injury before the Rio Olympics.
In 2021, in the gymnastics competition of the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese team composed of Xiao Ruoteng, Zou Jingyuan, Sun Wei and Lin Chaopan won the third place in the men's team with 261.894, and in the men's individual all-around final, Xiao Ruoteng won the second place with 88.065 points. In the men's free gymnastics final, Xiao Ruoteng won the third place with 14.766 points.
