On February 27, Zhang Guowei, a former high jumper of the Chinese athletics team, posted a photo of his training on social media, and this "big internet celebrity" is very serious in training in addition to having a very funny side. He captioned: "Dream back to 15, keep working hard"
Many netizens and fans have sent encouragement to Zhang Guowei, hoping that he can continue to adhere to his goals, train well, and impact the Paris Olympic Games.
There is no doubt that the year 2015 mentioned by Zhang Guowei was the peak of his career, when the 24-year-old Zhang Guowei was already a silver medalist at the Incheon Asian Games and was in the ascendancy. After entering 2015, Zhang Guowei's form ushered in the peak, he first won the men's high jump competition in the Relay race of The College of San Antonio in the United States in April, with a score of 2 meters 35, which is also the best result of Chinese high jumpers in the outdoor competition in the past 30 years.
In May 2015, Zhang Guowei played in the IAAF Diamond League Eugene station, and his 2.38 meters directly broke the best result of his outdoor record. In June, Zhang Guowei won the men's high jump competition of the IAAF Diamond League in Oslo with a time of 2.36 meters, which was his first time to win the Diamond League competition. On August 30, 2015, this was the most glorious day of Zhang Guowei's career, he won the runner-up in the men's high jump competition at the Beijing World Athletics Championships, with a score of 2.33 meters, which was also the most glorious achievement of Zhang Guowei's career.
Therefore, it is no wonder that when Zhang Guowei trained, he thought of his peak stage in 2015, which was also his brilliant stage, in order to motivate himself.
Zhang Guowei announced on social media after the Tokyo Olympics that he was going to make a comeback, train at his own expense, storm the Paris Olympics, and challenge the 2.40 meters he never did, but also dreamed of, and he would also hire a professional team of foreign coaches.
However, it is clear that because of the private outing to participate in commercial activities and other reasons by the Chinese athletics team "three stops", ban and dismissal, even if it is a comeback, Zhang Guowei wants to return to the national team, the hope is not great, because according to the regulations, athletes with major violations can not return to the national team, so even if the comeback, the state returned to the peak, but whether it can return to the national team is unknown, not to mention the impact of the Paris Olympic Games.
