National high jump record
The continental high jump record was set by Zhu Jianhua's predecessors in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1984 with a height of 2.39 meters, which undoubtedly became the world record at that time.
Born on March 29, 1963 in Shanghai, China, Zhu began to receive professional high jump training at the age of 10, breaking the Asian record with a score of 2.30 meters at the age of 18, and breaking the men's high jump world record three times in a row from 1983 to 1984, raising the world record from 2.35 meters to 2.39 meters.
Zhu Jianhua jumped 2.38 meters
High jump is one of the field events of track and field, and it is a sport in which the human body jumps over height obstacles through a series of actions such as running, jumping, taking off and landing.
The modern sport of high jump began in Europe. In 1827, Wilson jumped 1.575 meters at the first professional athletics competition in England, the first recorded world high jump result. After the 60s of the 19th century, high jump began to be popularized in Europe and the Americas. There have been five major evolutions in the technical movement of the high jump, namely the leap, scissor, roll, prone and back crossover, and the vast majority of modern athletes use the back jump. The men's and women's high jumps were included in the Olympic Games in 1896 and 1928 respectively.
Founded in 1912, the world's highest organization for high jump is World Athletics, which is responsible for developing athletics around the world, setting timing methods for athletics competitions and setting standards for world records. The highest organization of high jump in China is the Chinese Athletics Association, which was established in 1954 with the purpose of guiding and promoting the development of track and field in China.
High jump competition in the early years
Zhang Guowei challenges Zhu Jianhua 2.39 meters!
Zhang Guowei's signature action "Golden Rooster Independence"
Zhang Guowei used to be a well-known and powerful person in China's high jump industry, and he has brought a lot of glory to China in the field of track and field, and has won many world competition rankings.
In February 2011, Zhang Guowei made his debut in the national arena and participated in the men's high jump competition at the National Track and Field Championships in Nanjing and won the championship with a score of 2.28 meters. In 2013, he broke Zhu Jianhua's 27-year-old indoor national high jump record with 2.32 meters in the National Indoor Track and Field Championships. In 2014, he won the silver medal in the men's high jump final at the Incheon Asian Games with a score of 2.33 meters. In April 2015, he won the men's high jump championship in the relay competition of Morocco San Antonio College in the United States with a score of 2.35 meters. This is the best jump result of a Chinese high jumper in an outdoor competition in the past 30 years. In May, he won the second place in the men's high jump competition at the IAAF Diamond League in Eugene with a new personal outdoor record of 2.38 meters. In June, he won the men's high jump championship at the IAAF Diamond League in Oslo with a score of 2.36, which was his first Diamond League title. On August 30, he won the second place in the men's high jump competition at the 2015 World Athletics Championships in Beijing with a score of 2.33 meters. In 2016, he won the second place in the men's high jump competition of the IAAF Diamond League in Shanghai. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, he represented the national team in competitions.
Zhang Guowei
Zhang Guowei's personal best of 2.38 meters has undoubtedly become the most promising person to break Zhu Jianhua's 2.39-meter high jump national record today, but with the punishment decision issued by the Athletics Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of China on March 14, 2019, Zhang Guowei was expelled from the team for probation because he went out to participate in commercial activities without permission, and other punishments also include deducting three months of training allowance, stopping from participating in all international and domestic competitions and all social activities, depriving the national team of treatment, etc.
With Zhang Guowei announcing his retirement on April 5, 2020, he still did not break Zhu Jianhua's national record of 2.39 meters, but Zhang Guowei does not seem to have let go of this seed in his heart, and still builds venues and buys various track and field training equipment at his own expense.
Finally, the editor wants to say that love can last a long time, and I really wish Zhang Guowei to realize his dream as soon as possible, but this wish, salute him, come on!
