Beijing time on March 21 news, 2022 World Indoor Athletics Championships, men's high jump final, 26-year-old South Korean Yu Sang hyuk won the gold, the result is 2 meters 34. As a result, South Korea was born a world champion in the high jump. Even if China has legends like Zhu Jianhua and Zhang Guowei, they have never won such an honor.
Yu Xianghe is slender, and judging from the jump of the championship, his steps are very light, and he finally won the championship with a score of 2 meters 34, which was his first world championship gold medal! After winning the championship, Yu Sang-hyuk imitated Son Heung-min's celebratory movements.
I have to say that Son Heung-min is a world-class star, and Yu Sang-hyuk is also a world champion.
At the award ceremony, Yu Sang-hyuk was very excited to wear the Korean flag. After the game, Yu Xianghe said, "I became the world champion, which will bring pressure, but I will work hard, this year's Athletics World Championships and Hangzhou Asian Games, I will also do my best." ”
At the first time, Yonhap News Agency issued a congratulatory congratulations, "South Korea's Yu Sang-hyuk won the gold, writing a new record in Korean athletics, becoming the first player in Korean history to win the gold medal of the World Indoor Athletics Championships." ”
It is worth mentioning that Yu Sang-hyuk has performed well many times, last year's Tokyo Olympics, Yu Sang-hyuk jumped 2 meters 35, won the 4th place, and lost the medal, but only 2 centimeters away from the 2-meter 37 results of Olympic champions Balheem and Tambery. In February this year, in a high jump competition in Mustopeche, Czech Republic, Yu Sang-hyuk won the championship with a stunning result of 2.36 meters!
All along, in the Chinese sports world, high jump projects have a heritage, Zhu Jianhua has broken the world record three times, the best result is 2 meters 39, stronger than the current Yu Xianghe. However, as strong as Zhu Jianhua, the Chinese legend has not been able to win the world championship title in his career, which is a big regret.
Later Zhang Guowei, the personal best was 2 meters 38, also stronger than the current Yu Xianghe, but unfortunately, Zhang Guowei did not win the world championship title in his career.
At the 2015 Beijing Athletics World Championships, Zhang Guowei won the second place and regretted not winning the championship. Today, Zhang Guowei has made a comeback, but it is very difficult to return to the peak.
