Zhang Guowei announced that he will be back soon! The target is 2.40 meters, breaking the national record and pointing to the gold medal of the Paris Olympic Games

On August 20, Beijing time, Zhang Guowei announced on his personal social media that he would return! Zhang Guowei's goal is very clear, that is to jump to 2.40 meters and break the national record. If he can do it, he can also point to the gold medal of the Paris Olympic Games. In his career, Zhang Guowei jumped 2.38 meters, which is a world-class level!

Zhang Guowei is only 30 years old. He is in good shape. At the 2015 Beijing track and field world championships, Zhang Guowei won the second place with a score of 2.33 meters. The individual outdoor best score is 2.38 meters and the indoor best score is 2.33 meters, breaking Zhu Jianhua's 27 year indoor national high jump record. On March 17, 2019, Zhang Guowei was expelled from the team for observation because he went out to participate in commercial activities without permission. Last April, Zhang Guowei wrote on social media, "sorry, I really can't jump. I decided to retire."

Of course, Zhang Guowei is very popular on social media, especially the "dragon absorbing water", which is comparable to his personal stunt.

Because of his retirement, Zhang Guowei missed the Tokyo Olympic Games. Unexpectedly, when the Tokyo Olympic Games ended, Zhang Guowei announced his comeback.

"I am about to start a new career in the high jump. I spend money to hire a team to help me. Next year, it is likely that I will compete and train abroad and continue to complete my dream of 2.40 meters. Also honor the podium you promised, and you will see me dancing in the competition. " Zhang Guowei said.

Zhang Guowei's personal best score is 2.38 meters, only 1 cm away from the national record. This record belongs to Zhu Jianhua, who jumped 2.39 meters!

In the high jump competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Italy's gianmaco tambery and Qatar's mutaz bashim passed the pole once at the height of 2.37 meters and below, and failed three attempts at the height of 2.39 meters. The two then agreed to share the gold medal, creating a precedent in the history of the Olympic high jump. The world record for the men's high jump was 2.45 meters set by Cuba's famous Sotomayor in July 1993. The Olympic record was 2.39 meters set by American Austin Charles when he won the title at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.

If Zhang Guowei can reach the level of 2.40 meters, Zhang Guowei is expected to win the gold medal in the Paris Olympic Games three years later!
