failed to challenge 1.72 meters, but has already set a goal for next year
Although he is only 15 years old, Zhang Yueke's height has reached 1.68 meters, and his slender legs are standard for high jumpers.
At the Zhejiang Provincial Youth Track and Field Championships, Zhang Yueke was originally supposed to complete the high jump as the main event and the 60-meter dash as the secondary event on the first day of the competition, and participate in the long jump and 60-meter dash on the second day.
html On the 18th, after jumping over a height of 1.7 meters higher than his own height in one fell swoop, Zhang Yueke felt that he was in good condition and decided to continue challenging the height of 1.72 meters. But it was during this jump that Zhang Yueke's leg accidentally hit the pole, causing him to bleed immediately."I want to continue participating in the afternoon competition. Even if I leave, I have to reach the finish line!" When she was taken to the hospital by her mother and coach, this strong and somewhat stubborn girl originally insisted on going back to compete in the side events.
But after debridement and suturing, the doctor no longer allowed her to move around freely, otherwise she would need second stitches if the wound collapsed. Zhang Yueke had no choice but to give up.
In every sports training and competition, this girl who is constantly pursuing heights is not only full of desire for victory, but also has a "big heart" that "wins and losses are commonplace".

“To show a more perfect state in the competition, it is necessary to repeatedly practice the approach, take-off and other movements in daily training, as well as core training, strength training, etc., which are very boring but very necessary. process. These all test people’s willpower and determination,” said Ms. Shen, Zhang Yueke’s mother.
While persisting in training, Zhang Yueke's grades in cultural classes did not fall behind. Entering the second half of the third year of junior high school and facing the pressure of the entrance exam, Zhang Yueke usually only has one full day of training on Saturdays every week. It has become her habit to get up at 6:30 every weekend and arrive at Chen Jinglun Sports School for training at 8:00.
Provincial and municipal competitions have been intensive recently, so she spared 3 hours of training every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. In order to balance studies and training, Zhang Yueke often starts to "crazy" catch up on homework as soon as he returns to school after training. The daily itinerary is packed to the brim.
“High jumping is her favorite sport, and I have never heard her complain about being tired."Ms. Shen said that during daily training, Zhang Yueke would inevitably suffer from backache, knee pain and other injuries. Sometimes when she saw her daughter receiving treatment with needles stuck in her body, she felt heartbroken as a mother. But as a parent, she felt uncomfortable. Children should be held back and "good logistical support can help children pursue higher and further dreams and grow up happily and healthily!" "
Regarding future goals, Zhang Yueke does not want to set too many limits for himself. Just like the high jump sport he loves, he will meet at the top and continue to challenge: "I hope to maintain a good competitive state, and I will also sprint with all my strength in the next high school entrance examination. !
