After Liu Xiang's retirement, China's hurdles movement ushered in an empty window period. Although there are still outstanding athletes like Xie Wenjun in the current hurdles field, the 30-year-old Xie Wenjun has entered the end of his career. However, in this field, there are also many excellent young athletes. Among them, 21-year-old Zeng Jianhang has become the object of everyone's attention.
On the rare May Day holiday, Zeng Jianhang also ushered in his own short rest time in the tense training and preparation process. The athlete, previously known as Liu Xiang's successor, was very generous in announcing his relationship. Compared with the attitude of other athletes to hide their feelings, Zeng Jianhang undoubtedly does not care about the voices of the outside world.
Judging from the photos, Zeng Jianhang and his girlfriend have a very good relationship, and the two people are also very compatible in appearance and appearance conditions. Zeng Jianhang has a height and leg length that is very suitable for hurdles, and in 2018 he also won the men's 100m hurdles competition in the finals of the National Athletics Championships. And in that game, Zeng Jianhang also refreshed the best result of his career.
Then into 2019, Zeng Jianhang won the championship in domestic competitions many times. In the Asian level competition, Zeng Jianhang has also gradually emerged. However, fairly speaking, compared with Liu Xiang at that time, Zeng Jianhang's talent was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. At Zeng Jianhang's age, Liu Xiang has already won championships in international competitions. Putting aside the contrast with Liu Xiang, Zeng Jianhang is undoubtedly at the top level among Chinese hurdlers in his current age group.
Since he is only 21 years old, Zeng Jianhang still has a lot of room for improvement in the future. If you can give full play to your own advantages as much as possible under reasonable training arrangements, then Zeng Jianhang may still stand on the podium of international competitions in the future. After all, compared with Liu Xiang's era, the training level and methods of the Chinese athletics team have been significantly improved.
However, there are still many strong competitors in the current hurdles field, including our neighbors South Korea and Japan, which have also produced a lot of excellent young athletes. Coupled with the American team, which has been very strong in the hurdles field before, it is not easy for Zeng Jianhang to break through among the strong hands.
After Zeng Jianhang announced his relationship, he also caused some negative voices. Some sports fans believe that Zeng Jianhang should put more energy on sports at this age, and putting too much energy into life will affect Zeng Jianhang's future development prospects. But dialectically, the emotional life of athletes and their careers are not in conflict. If Zeng Jianhang can maintain a dedicated attitude, then he is likely to become a brother in the field of Chinese hurdles in the future. What do sports fans think of this new track and field star who bravely announced his love affair?
