On February 5, 2022, in the special indoor tour competition held in Huskpec, South Korea's Yu Sang-hyuk crossed the height of 2 meters 36 meters in one fell swoop, becoming the second in Asian history, behind Balheem's 2 meters 41 (indoor), which is also the world's best performance this year. This is currently the biggest achievement of South Korea in this year's athletics event.
I thought that year, the best result of China's famous Zhang Guowei was 2 meters 33 (indoor), but the sudden rise of South Korean athletes this time caught us off guard, and a closer look found that Zhang Guowei's era was far away, and the high jump star was rising and shining.
But the rise of Yu Xianghe may have early signs, as early as the 2017 Asian Championships, South Korean young player Yu Xianghe had defeated the Chinese famous Zhang Guowei by a slight margin, but it is a pity that Zhang Guowei announced his retirement early, otherwise the two would have a wonderful duel that would definitely be very eye-catching. In this battle, he surpassed Zhu Jianhua at 2.31 meters, Zhang Guowei at 2.33 meters, Wang Yu at 2.34 meters, and Naoto Tobe at 2.35 meters in Japan, and became the second person in the Asian interior after Balheem at 2.41 meters. Such excellent results have defeated many high jumpers in one fell swoop, which seems to indicate that the era of China's famous Zhang Guowei has long passed, and today's era belongs to newcomers.
The rise of Yu Xianghe this time indicates the advent of a new era, but also continues to inspire China's active duty celebrities to make greater progress, one day, Chinese will once again announce that the era of Chinese athletes is coming again, I believe that with the spirit of hard work and perseverance of Chinese, they will also rise again, defeat any strong opponent, and climb to the top of Asia and even the top of the world. Although Zhang Guowei's era has passed, China's new stars are equally dazzling, like Wang Yu and others! China should not be underestimated, and I believe that in the future, their achievements will not be lower than Zhang Guowei.
As a die-hard fan of the Chinese team, I always believe that There will be new young players in China who will surprise Asia, but it will take a while. Because genius always comes inadvertently. When Zhang Guowei was at his peak, many people did not cherish his efforts, but paid more attention to his "dragon sucking water". In fact, his efforts on the field are more, and they should be the most admirable. As an athlete, it is enough for us to care about things on the field and should not care too much about the aspects of other people's lives.
Zhang Guowei's era is far away, a new era has arrived, an era of heroes, an era of ups and downs. The new era has new expectations, what do you think about this?
