This is Wang Yu’s second time to participate in the Asian Games. Four years ago, he won the fourth place in the men’s high jump in Incheon. “This time I can win the championship, my heart is ecstatic and super happy.” Wang Yu said.
Xinhua News Agency, Jakarta, August 27 (reporter Lu Xianting, Zhu Di, Yang Ting) in the men’s high jump final of the Jakarta Asian Games, which ended on the evening of 27th, chinese player Wang Yu won the championship with a score of 2 meters 30. After locking the champion, he challenged the height of 2 meters 34, but failed. In an interview with the media after the game, he said that tonight’s performance was only acceptable, but the result was still satisfactory.
In the men’s high jump competition, Wang Yu and Bai Long of the Chinese team played together. In addition to experiencing a heavy jump at the height of 2 meters and 24 meters, Wang Yu went smoothly all the way and challenged 2 meters and 30 times to succeed. After determining that Yu Xianghe’s final opponent and South Korean team’s performance was fixed at 2 meters 28, Wang Yu, who locked the champion, decided to challenge the higher personal best result. Although the two challenges failed at 2 meters 34, the applause and cheers of the whole audience were still given to the 27-year-old Chinese guy.
“This result is not particularly satisfactory, but I think I am still very happy to get the gold medal. In today’s competition, the atmosphere and the strength of your opponents are all putting pressure on you. There is no way to let you rush to your best results with special relaxation.” Wang Yu said.
At the Monegasque station of IAAF Diamond League more than a month ago, Wang Yu once won the runner-up at a height of 2 meters 30, and this year he has maintained a good competitive state. “I jumped out 6 times this year, 2 meters 30, 2 times 2 meters 32…… It must be a feeling of thick accumulation and thin hair. It should be a natural thing to maintain one’s feelings and break one’s best results.”
This is Wang Yu’s second time to participate in the Asian Games. Four years ago, he won the fourth place in the men’s high jump in Incheon. “This time I can win the championship, my heart is ecstatic and super happy.” Wang Yu said.
Wang Yu targeted the Tokyo Olympics two years later. “For me, that is the ultimate test. I hope to have better results in the Tokyo Olympics.” He said that the next step should be strengthened in terms of strength and take-off speed, and learn more from outstanding foreign players.
