On August 4, in the men's 110-meter hurdles qualifying round of the Paris Olympic Games, Xu Zhuoyi, a Chinese player in the third group, ran 13.40 seconds "easily" with glasses and advanced to the semifinals with the first place in the group.

After the game, Xu Zhuoyi attracted heated discussions among netizens with his superb contrast of appearance and strength, "This little brother is full of Olympiad competition, and the result is an international athlete in sports" "This image looks like he should be going to participate in the Olympiad, why did he go to the Olympics?" still wears glasses" "The glasses look like the god of war in science, and the hairstyle looks like a literary youth, only to find out that he is a sportsman when he runs". Some people also said, "It's a bit like Gao Qisheng (the character in the TV series "Hurricane)" and "It seems that Gao Qisheng and Secretary Wang are combined in Hurricane"......

Some people say that Xu Zhuoyi "really looks like a college student participating in the school sports meeting", but in fact, Xu Zhuoyi is really a "quasi-freshman". After the Paris Olympics, Xu Zhuoyi will enter Tongji University to study sports training, and become a classmate of Chen Yuxi, the Olympic champion in diving.

In the performance in the preliminaries, many people felt that Xu Zhuoyi was "still retracting", but in fact, 13.40 seconds was indeed not Xu Zhuoyi's best result. In addition to well-known names such as "Deadly Scholar" and "Glasses Flyer", Xu Zhuoyi also has many surprises worth discovering.

Liu Xiang's youngest apprentice

Strong back-end ability is in the same vein

It is reported that Xu Zhuoyi, who was born in 2003, entered Shanghai Songjiang No. 7 Middle School after graduating from primary school and started track and field training. In 2016, he entered Shanghai No. 2 Sports School. In recent years, Xu Zhuoyi has made a name for himself in the track and field circle.

In 2020, Xu Zhuoyi was recruited under Sun Haiping, the godfather of Chinese hurdles, and became his youngest apprentice. And Sun Haiping is Liu Xiang's mentor. It is worth mentioning that in recent years, Xia Sining, a hurdling beauty from Shaoyang, Hunan Province, who has attracted much attention, is also Sun Haiping's apprentice, and she is from the same school as Xu Zhuo.

Sun Haiping once mentioned in an interview that Xu Zhuoyi and Liu Xiang are a little similar, and their strong back-end ability is in the same line.

At the Paris Olympics, Xu Zhuoyi attracted attention for his tall and thin body, and at last year's Asian Games, Sun Haiping commented, "He has always been relatively thin among players of the same age." Now he is 1.97 meters tall, but he weighs only 73 or 74 kilograms, which is too light. He still lacks strength, speed. Sun Haiping said that the focus of Xu Zhuo's physical fitness training at the next stage is to thicken the muscle fibers. His muscle fibers are too thin, and we have to strengthen them later through training in terms of physical ability, and then increase the speed level, so that his potential will be greater later. ”

In the men's 110m hurdles event, the Chinese people have special concerns and complexes. Today, the Olympic record holder in the men's 110m hurdles is still "Flying Man" Liu Xiang.

After successfully advancing to the semifinals of the Paris Olympics, Xu Zhuoyi said that Brother Xiang was his target to catch up. 'The Olympic record he set 20 years ago is still here, which is a motivation for me and now the goal is to try to catch up with him.'

Xu Zhuoyi, who is "destined to be the first in the world".

He ran 13.22 seconds twice in five days

Last year's Hangzhou Asian Games regretted picking copper, Xu Zhuoyi once wrote "The young man promised Lingyunzhi is bound to be the first class in the world".

In May this year, Xu Zhuoyi updated a Weibo, "Say you have to do it."

In the men's 110-meter hurdles final of the fifth leg of the 2024 National Track and Field Grand Prix held at the Chongqing Olympic Sports Center on May 29, Xu Zhuoyi won the championship with a personal best of 13.22 seconds and directly qualified for the Paris Olympics. He is also the first Chinese "post-00" athlete to meet the Olympic standard in the men's hurdle event.

Just four days later, at the Tottori Station of the Intercontinental Tour in Japan on June 2, Xu Zhuoyi ran another 13.22 seconds, tying his personal best to win the championship.

He ran 13.22 seconds twice in a week, showing that this Shanghai guy with an international athlete level has a stable and excellent performance, and has become an Asian hurdler who can continue to achieve 13.2 seconds.

In the Chinese men's 110m hurdles all-time rankings, Xu Zhuoyi ranked fourth in 13.22 seconds, behind Liu Xiang (12.88 seconds), Xie Wenjun (13.17 seconds), and Shi Dongpeng (13.19 seconds).

"Hurdles are our traditional strengths. I lost an important gold medal last year, so I worked a lot hard in winter training. In fact, I already thought before the competition that I would meet the Olympic standards, and the next step is to actively prepare for the competition and continue to improve my skills and speed. When it comes to the Paris Olympics, Xu Zhuoyi said that he hopes to hit the top eight and reach the final final.

The semifinals of the men's 110m hurdles at the Paris Olympics will be held at 01:05 a.m. on August 8.
