Recently, retired celebrity Zhang Guowei exposed a training video on a social platform: using barbells to practice strength at the training ground, the sword finger is 2 meters 40. It should be known that Zhang Guowei only took 40 days from announcing his comeback to resuming training, after he also released a video that skipped 2 meters 31. Since Zhang Guowei retired, China's high jump has fallen into a trough period, and China's high jump has also been widened by the world's top level. I hope that Zhang Guowei's comeback will bring hope to China's high jump community!
On August 20, 2021, China's high jump star Zhang Guowei announced his official comeback. In order to realize the dream, he will hire a team to retrain at his own expense, which is expected to impact the Paris Olympic Games. From his newly released video, it can be seen that he has begun to enter the formal training state, Zhang Guowei has begun a new journey, and fans are also excited, cheering for him, and longing for him to reappear on the field.
Zhang Guowei is a legend in the history of China's high jump and a mudslide in the sports world. He has broken records many times, was also expelled from the national team, and announced his retirement due to injury. Now his comeback makes netizens feel excited, and can't help but look back at his "high jump brother" years and his sand sculpture years as a funny Internet celebrity blogger.
Born in 1991 to an ordinary family in Yantai, Shandong Province, Zhang Guowei has loved various sports since he was a child. He was particularly confident since he was a child, convinced that he had sports talent, so he dabbled in football, table tennis, long jump and other sports, but the results were not satisfactory. Until the age of 14, under the joke of a coach, Zhang Guowei tried the high jump and jumped a good result of 1 meter 70 in one fell swoop, which surprised the coach. Zhang Guowei found that his real talent was high jumping, and it was all a directional error before. Later, Zhang Guowei was selected for the national team and began the real road of high jump. Zhang Guowei joined the national team relatively late, and he knows that the athlete's sports career is precious and limited, so he cherishes every opportunity to participate.
Private training is never lazy, and every day is fully committed. Broke the high jump record many times and became the new "high jump brother". In this way, under the talent and hard work of Zhang Guowei, he finally achieved brilliant results on the field. In 2011, Zhang Guowei participated in the National Athletics Championships for the first time, and he jumped a good time of 2.28 meters to win the championship. In 2015, at the IAAF Diamond League in Eugene, Zhang Guowei ushered in the peak moment of his sports career. He broke out again, jumping a staggering 3.38 meters, just one centimeter away from Zhu Jianjun's 2.39 meters. Zhang Guowei won the runner-up, and his move "White Crane Bright Wings" became a classic memory on the high jump field.
Although it was retired in the later stage, it was a bottomless funny thing on the network, desperately earning traffic to make money. But most importantly, he didn't really give up on his dreams. Now he has set out again to realize his dream, and his spirit is commendable. Hope he can surprise us again.
