Zhang Guowei was sent to the sports school by his parents for training at a very young age, because of his tall stature, which gave him a great advantage in various sports competitions, whether it was playing football or table tennis, he could get a good place in school and even district competitions.
One day, Zhang Guowei was playing football with his friends as always, Xu Jianling just passed by here, and Zhang Guowei, who had slender legs, immediately attracted Xu Jianling's attention, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that Zhang Guowei was different from other students. When running, Zhang Guowei is the front foot first to the ground, and the back of the heel is not on the ground, this detail proves that his ankle joint is very powerful, after a look, Xu Jianling seems to have realized something, he thinks that the teenager in front of him may be a good seedling for practicing athletics. In order to confirm his idea, Xu Jianling deliberately took time to watch Zhang Guowei play football, and he also determined his idea, so he could not wait to find Zhang Guowei's parents and let Zhang Guowei come to the track and field team for long jump training.
Since then, Zhang Guowei has been inextricably linked to the high jump. Not long after training, Zhang Guowei went to participate in the triple jump competition, and this jump, he won the championship. After the end of the race, Zhang Guowei tried to jump high again, but he did not expect that he jumped another 1.71 meters in this jump, which could also get the runner-up in that competition. At this time, Zhang Guowei did not go through any high jump training, such results gave Zhang Guowei great confidence, from that moment on, he was looking for the high jump.
After a period of training, Zhang Guowei improved rapidly, in 2007 Zhang Guowei won the championship at the Shandong Provincial Games and entered the provincial team, in 2010, Zhang Guowei won the second place in the men's youth group high jump final of the National Youth Championships, after which he entered the national team, in 2015, Zhang Guowei won the second place in the IAAF Diamond League men's high jump competition, at this moment he has become famous. In 2020, Zhang Guowei won the first place in the international high jump with a score of 2.27 meters.
When everyone praised Zhang Guowei, Zhang Guowei released a very surprising news, he decided to retire, and he apologized to everyone, saying that he really couldn't jump. For his decision, many people feel some regrets, but they understand him very well, after all, he was already injured at that time.
Since Zhang Guowei retired, China's high jump has entered a trough period, and at the Tokyo Olympics, only Wang Yu was alone in the high jump event, but he still had no way to enter the semifinals. Just as everyone looked at this achievement and sighed, everyone saw a piece of good news, and Zhang Guowei planned to make a comeback at his own expense. When they saw the news, everyone was excited.
It turns out that Zhang Guowei has long taken the high jump as his life goal, and he has always had a wish, that is, to be able to impact the 2.40 meters. Although he is now 30 years old, his dream-chasing heart cannot stop his way forward.
But on his way to chasing his dream, it seems that it is not so smooth, and after his comeback for more than 40 days, Zhang Guowei fractured his left foot due to too much training. Although he was injured, Zhang Guowei was still very optimistic, he still regarded 2 meters 40 as his goal, and if he could not complete this goal, he would not give up. I believe that his more and more courageous spirit will definitely help him to succeed, and I hope that he will recover as soon as possible and complete his goals quickly.
