Qatar's Basim jumped over the 2.40-meter crossbar in the men's high jump competition at the International Challenge, breaking the 29-year-old Asian record held by florist Zhu Jianhua.
This is also the second time that humans have jumped 2.40 meters since entering the 21st century.
At that time, when the game reached 2.33 meters, there were three people left on the field, namely Basim of Qatar, Kenard of the United States, and Drouin of Canada. In the end, all three of them passed 2.36 meters!
At the same time, he set a tournament record and the best result in the world this year, and DeRoin also broke the Canadian national record.
The height then rises to 2.39 meters. If Bam can jump over, he will tie the Asian record of 2.39 meters set by Zhu Jianhua in 1984.
This is obviously very difficult. The three of them failed to jump in the first two times. Kenard and Drouin, who appeared first in the last jump, failed again. Since only Basim has passed all heights once today, he has already won the championship.
The daring Basim, who is a talented athlete, simply gave up 2.39 meters and directly attacked 2.40 meters. As a result, the Qatari genius jumped over the crossbar, and a new Asian record was born.
This is the 25th human being to achieve a score of 2.40 meters or above. After entering the 21st century, only Russian player Voronin had jumped to 2.40 meters in 2000.
In 1984, Zhu Jianhua, a 21-year-old male high jumper who was a flower grower, set an astonishing result of 2.39 meters in Germany. This Asian male high jump record was not surpassed until 29 years later.
And this time it's not super wind speed.
It's not even.
This time it was a serious one.
Zhu Jianhua's personal best score of 2.39 meters was once a world record. Although it was later surpassed by others, this score has always been an Asian record and a flower grower's record for 29 years. Zhu Jianhua is still the well-deserved number one high jumper in Asia.
Basim, who had only passed the pole once at all previous heights, won the championship ahead of schedule. With one chance to try out, he chose to hit a height of 2.40 meters. After an almost perfect run-up, take-off and pole-over, Basim succeeded.
He jumped over the 2.40-meter horizontal bar and won the championship. He also broke the Asian record and the competition record, and set the best result in the world this year. The very excited Basim roared loudly after passing the bar, using the high jump mat as a
A small stage for celebration.
According to statistics, Basim's jump was the 25th time in human history that he has jumped 2.40 meters and above. He also became the second high jumper in the 21st century to reach a height of 2.40 meters. Previously, only Russian player Voronin had done so.
In 2000, he successfully jumped 2.40 meters. The current men's high jump world record is 2.45 meters held by Cuban star Sotomayor.
Basim, who was born in 1991, has been rising rapidly in recent years. He defeated Zhang Guowei to win the championship at the Yangcheng Asian Games. After breaking the Asian indoor record with 2.37 meters in Hangzhou Station last year, Basim challenged the height of 2.40 meters.
Zou Zhenxian, the leader of the Huajia team at the time, spoke highly of Basim: "What is more important than breaking the Asian record is his competitive temperament and courage to pursue and surpass himself. This is very worthy of learning for the juniors of the Huajia track and field team."
Opening the Asian track and field record table, you will find that some records have been dusty for more than 20 years, such as the women's shot put and the men's javelin. The number one "beard record" is undoubtedly 2.39 meters set by Zhu Jianhua in June 1984, which was the world record at the time.
Zhu Jianhua's world record was broken by former Soviet player Povarnitsyn. In the following years, the men's high jump world record continued to rise. It was not until 1993 that Cuban star Sotomayor jumped over a 2.45-meter horizontal pole, and the record-breaking frenzy was over.
period.
In Asia, Zhu Jianhua's successor has been hard to find for many years, and no one has been able to challenge 2.39 meters. Before Bashim's debut, the best Asian men's high jump result in the past 20 years was only achieved by florist Zhou Zhongge at the Asian Games in Beijing.
2 meters 33.
Bashim's emergence gave the Asian track and field community the courage and confidence to challenge 2.40 meters.
In 2010, Bashim won the gold medal at the World Youth Athletics Championships with 2.30 meters. A year later, his outdoor score improved to 2.35 meters, becoming the second person in Asian men's high jump history after Zhu Jianhua.
In an international competition after the 2012 London Olympics, Bashim unexpectedly jumped over the 2.39-meter horizontal pole, tying Zhu Jianhua's 38-year-old Asian record. In indoor events, Bashim had become Asia's No. 1 athlete a year ago.
One person, February last year
On the 19th, he jumped 2.37 meters at the Asian Indoor Track and Field Championships in Hangzhou, leaving Zhu Jianhua's indoor record of 2.31 meters far behind. In early February this year, Bashim once again conquered 2 meters in an indoor competition held in Moscow.
37 height.
It can be seen that Bashim's success in crossing the 2.40-meter horizontal pole is the inevitable result of accumulation and failure.
Qatar also hyped it up, as if Asia's next superstar to replace Liu Xiang, Ping Su Shen, was about to be born.
Don't tell me yet.
Don't think it's outrageous.
This is how propaganda was done throughout history.
At this juncture, it is even more important to promote the European and American media and fan the flames. Now as long as there are athletes who can surpass the flower growers, they must be promoted.
It doesn’t work without publicity.
As long as it is publicized, funding will be approved from above.
It’s just that Chinese people still don’t quite understand it.
I don’t quite understand how much special funding these foreign media have for this kind of thing every year.
We have just entered the era of mobile Internet.
Many people do not yet have the ability to filter and distinguish information.
Many people even regard self-media as the era of traditional media.
People just believe whatever is reported, never thinking that in the current self-media era, the authenticity of information has become less and less important. Even traditional media sometimes distort the facts in their reports due to various factors.
It's not like people will report anything 10 years later.
Everyone will stop and think about it first.
Don't make a sound yet.
Also don’t make a habit of taking sides.
…
Yang Jian and the others also received the news.
They looked at each other and immediately said: "First of all, we would like to congratulate Qatar's Bashim for surpassing my country's Zhu Jianhua and becoming the first person in Asia's high jump history."
"But times are different. There have been many high jump geniuses in our country's history. Many people may not know that our country has broken and held several high jump world records in its history."
"For example, Ni Zhiqin was the first Chinese male track and field athlete to break a world record. This athlete from Fujian Province crossed the 2.29-meter crossbar in a prone position in Star City on November 8, 1970, setting a new world record for men's high jump.
"
"From the early 1960s to the early 1970s, Ni Zhiqin's strength has always been among the top two in the world. Regrettably, at that time, Ni Zhiqin, like other outstanding domestic athletes, missed the world competition."
"Ten years later, another genius emerged in the domestic men's high jump - Zhu Jianhua. In 1981, Zhu Jianhua, who was only 18 years old, jumped 2.30 meters at the Asian Track and Field Championships, breaking Ni Zhiqin's 11-year-old Asian record in one fell swoop.
This achievement is in place
Ranked 5th in the world rankings in 2011. The following year, Zhu Jianhua jumped 2.31 meters, 2.32 meters and 2.33 meters, setting three Asian records and becoming the highest jumper in the world that year. In 1983, Zhu Jianhua won the 5th National Games in 1983.
preliminary round, final
He jumped 2.37 meters and 2.38 meters respectively in the competition, breaking the world record twice. On the eve of the 1984 Olympic Games, Zhu Jianhua defeated Mergenberg, Trenhardt and other strong players in the Eberstadt International High Jump Competition in Federal Germany.
And with a length of 2.39 meters
The performance broke the world record for the third time. This result is still a national record. It is worth mentioning that Zhu Jianhua won the first World Track and Field Championships in 1983 and the third place in the 1984 Olympic Games. This is also the highest high jump for Chinese men so far.
Good results.”
"I hope... the athletes who follow can remember the glory of their predecessors."
"Carry forward this fine tradition."
"Please remember that as time goes by, some of you may have forgotten that we have also won world records in high jump many times."
"Our track and field events have never been worse than others."
"What Liu Xiang and Su Shen said, I think I can tell everyone now -"
"We can."
"We are no worse than anyone else."
"The same goes for our history."
…
I didn't expect such an episode.
Chen Juan looked at the big screen and even started playing some old videos and famous scenes of Chinese high jumpers.
She knew this was another record that had been surpassed.
Don't think it's just a record that has been surpassed. As countries compete with each other in peacetime, these aspects will often affect the judgment of the people across the country on their own racial abilities.
For example, as time goes by, you can ask younger people later on.
They must not know that our country’s high jump was once so impressive.
You even have to ask some young people, have we ever set a world record in high jump? Have we Chinese ever been the highest jumpers in the world?
Some people may even ask you back.
Have we done it?
There are quite a few such things.
This is what Europeans and Americans hope for.
No publicity.
Don't fight.
Don't fight.
Just let it be.
As time goes by, people will naturally think that we are not good enough.
So I did this.
Make a career out of this.
Then we have to fight for this thing.
Seek his own government in his position.
Since you are a track and field athlete.
Then you don't want to fight?
What kind of athlete do you want to be?
This profession has certain special characteristics.
If you just want to make money for retirement.
Even if you are a member of the national football team and make a lot of money this way, you will still be ridiculed and even angry by people across the country.
No matter how long the record is, if the younger generation doesn't chase it.
One day he will be surpassed by young people from other countries.
so.
Chen Juan looked up.
She knows.
It looks like the women's record is unbreakable.
But if you have such thoughts, you will relax and stop fighting.
She has a wish this year and has not told anyone about it.
I hope to catch up with or even surpass the Asian record held by Li Xuemei.
Let's set this record higher.
This record can be kept in the country for a longer period of time.
True.
Records will always be broken.
But speaking as a Chinese.
As the simplest feelings of family and country.
Who wouldn’t want to keep the glory in their own country for a longer period of time?
Wearing the national team uniform.
It originally had other meanings.
Chen Juan.
You may not have understood why Su Shen was like this before.
As she grows more and more.
She became more and more understanding.
When you reach a certain height.
What you have to shoulder.
It's not just you anymore.
This matter.
was released before the game.
How to say?
Chen Juan only felt that.
Well come.
At least she can be there.
It's full of motivation.
Extra motivation.
Injected into his whole body.
Of course she knew that it would be impossible to break the record in the first game.
The slippery track after the rain is unrealistic.
The wind speed today is not good enough either.
but.
She just wants to run well now.
There is a drive to prove in my heart.
If I run well enough in this race, in this harsh environment, in the first race at the beginning of the season...
