China's sports strength is very strong, but its advantages are mainly in table tennis, diving, weightlifting and shooting. On the track and field stage, most of the competitions are still dominated by blacks and whites, and the emergence of Liu Xiang is the pinnacle of Chinese track and field. Since then, Su Bingtian has also been very legendary, running 9.83 seconds in the 100 meters, which is enough to go down in history. And Xie Zhenye is also very good, he set an Asian record, also won the Olympic bronze medal, and is also a great athlete.
Born in Zhejiang, Xie Zhenye has been physically gifted since he was a child, and he has also attracted the attention of his coach. At the age of 13, Xie Zhenye entered the sports school and began to specialize in the 200m event. He was so strong that he soon became a member of the national team. At the age of 17, Xie Zhenye stood on the stage of the Youth Olympic Games and won the championship with a time of 21.22 seconds, which can be said to be a success. Since then, he has been the top player in China, and he and Su Bingtian can be called a peerless duo. In 12 years, he won the gold medal in the 200m at the Asian Championships, and he performed well.
In 14 years, Xie Zhenye broke the Asian record in the 4*100m event on the stage of the Asian Games. In 2017, Xie Zhenye easily won the gold medal in the 200m National Games. In the first Track and Field World Cup in 18 years, Xie Zhenye won the 200-meter gold medal and became the world champion. In the 19th IAAF Diamond Race in London, Xie Zhenye won the championship with a time of 19.88 seconds, which also set an Asian record. Since then, Xie Zhenye has continued to achieve great results, winning the bronze medal in the 4*100m event at the Tokyo Olympics and being the first yellow man to run in the 200m semi-finals.
Now Xie Zhenye has reached the age of 31, and he has also become a veteran. But he was still doing well. Last year, he also won the gold medal in the 100m at the Asian Games and was elected as one of the top ten Chinese athletes in 2023. This year, he also stood on the stage of the Olympic Games, but it was a huge regret to give up the individual 200m event for the sake of the team event.
After Su Bingtian's retirement, Xie Zhenye can be said to be the face of Chinese men's sprinting. He has won a world championship, an Olympic bronze medal, and holds the Asian 200m record, and is definitely an accomplished athlete. At the age of 31, he will fight for a few more years, maybe like Su Shen, until he is 35 years old.
In addition to his brilliant career, Xie Zhenye's personal life is also very sweet. His wife is track and field star Lu Minjia, Lu Minjia is also from Zhejiang, is the women's long jump champion of the National Games and Asian Championships, and like Xie Zhenye, she is an outstanding athlete who has won glory for the country. Lu Minjia announced her retirement in 2021, and she and Xie Zhenye have been in love for many years. In 21 years, Xie Zhenye and Lu Minjia received their certificates, and in 22 years, they held a grand wedding and entered the palace of marriage.
Now Lu Minjia has successfully transformed, and Xie Zhenye continues to work hard for his dreams, and the two work hand in hand, which is very warm. Xie Zhenye is tall and handsome, Lu Minjia is beautiful, and she can be regarded as a talented woman.
