On October 2, Jiangsu long-jumper Wang Jiannan, who had just spent the "Double Festival" with his family, rushed to Beijing by high-speed rail to prepare for military training before winter training.

This year, due to the impact of the epidemic, athletics competitions may be cancelled or postponed. From the winter training in November last year, until the middle of September this year, the first national athletics competition, the Athletics National Championships, kicked off in Shangyu, Shaoxing. On the first day of the competition, Wang Jiannan won the championship by defeating Huang Changzhou with an 8.36m jump in the second jump, and set a world best result of the season. After the game, Wang Jiannan said: "Originally, I didn't expect specific results, I just wanted to win the championship. Huang Changzhou jumped at a very high level in the first two jumps, prompting me to jump a good result. ”

In recent years, Wang Jiannan's strength and achievements have remained at the level of the world's top eight, and four world competitions have reached the final and won good rankings. He won a bronze medal at the 2015 Beijing World Championships, fifth at the Rio 2016 Olympics, seventh at the 2017 World Championships in London, and sixth at the 2019 World Championships in Athletics, Doha.

Before April this year, Wang Jiannan had been training systematically and with high quality according to plan. The Tokyo Olympics were postponed, and his training was adjusted accordingly. "It took about three weeks of complete adjustment, and then I started general recovery training." Wang Jianan revealed, "This year's training has joined the physical training, and the physical training will be inserted after the weekly strength class, about three times a week. ”

As a decathlete athlete, Wang Jiannan, although he has been away from the all-around event for many years, he is no stranger to physical training, "with the addition of physical training, there are more small exercises in the training plan, which is a good thing for me. Nature also helps a lot with special training. "Therefore, he has also been actively cooperating with the coaching staff for physical reserve." I have always prepared for the challenge with a positive attitude. Wang Jianan said: "I myself feel that my body is stronger after intensive physical training, and the coach also said that my strength is much greater than last year, and my absolute strength and explosive strength are better than last year, and I feel the same way." ”

At the Nanjing street race in September this year, Wang Jiannan, who ran for the championship, finally finished third with 8 meters 08. Therefore, in the national championship, Wang Jiannan's goal is to win, "Before the Championships, I have been actively adjusting myself, although I did not expect to jump so far, I think I will be able to win the championship." ”

8 meters 36, whether placed in last year's World Championships in Doha or the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, is a result that can be on the podium. Next year's Tokyo Olympics, wang Jiannan's second Olympic Games, he hopes to have a good result, "as long as you usually work hard to train, play your own level in the competition, the final result should be satisfactory to yourself." Wang Jianan said.

For the upcoming winter training, Wang Jiannan only has one idea, "strengthen physical fitness, improve specialization, follow the coaching staff plan in a down-to-earth manner, and do your best to fight for the Tokyo Olympic Games." ”
