Wang Jianan won the first gold of the World Championships for the Chinese delegation

  China News Service, Beijing, July 17 (Reporter Yue Chuan) The last jump is set!

Wang Jianan completed another historic leap in Chinese track and field in the most exciting way.

  In the men's long jump final of the 2022 Oregon Track and Field World Championships held on the 17th, Beijing time, Wang Jianan won the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation.

He jumped out of 8.36 meters in the last jump, reversing a number of famous players to win the championship.

  This is the first world championship gold medal belonging to the Chinese men's long jump, and history has been rewritten today.

From Liu Yuhuang and Chen Zunrong to Wang Jianan and Huang Changzhou, the unremitting efforts of several generations of Chinese long jumpers have finally come to the moment of "from nothing".

  Wang Jianan took this step on behalf of the Chinese men's long jump.

Wang Jianan in the game

  The 26-year-old Wang Jianan became famous at a young age and made his mark in the international arena very early.

In 2015, when he was under 20 years old, he won the third place in the men's long jump at the track and field world championships in Beijing.

  In last year's Olympic Games, Wang Jianan's performance was not satisfactory, and he failed to draw a relatively satisfactory end to the Tokyo cycle, and he himself fell into a low ebb.

  "Leave all dissatisfaction and regret in 2021", this is Wang Jianan's New Year's message.

He hopes that in the middle of 2022, he can do his best, leave no regrets, and move closer to his dreams and goals.

Wang Jianan in the game

  After recollecting the pain, Wang Jianan set off again with a new attitude.

Eugene is his blessed land, and it is also his first major battle for the Paris Olympics.

  The men's long jump final of the World Championships was fiercely competitive, and all the players, including the Tokyo Olympic champion and Greek star Tentoglo, were on the list.

Before Wang Jianan's last jump, Tentoglo ranked first with a score of 8.32 meters.

  In the first 5 appearances of the final, Wang Jianan jumped over 8 meters twice and temporarily ranked fifth.

Originally, his fourth jump was very good, but unfortunately the foul came first.

Although this jump was not recognized, Wang Jianan felt that the result was good, which also gave him more confidence.

Wang Jianan in the game

  Before the last jump, Wang Jianan looked up at the big screen, and with a score of 8.15 meters, he could put himself on the podium.

He didn't think about it anymore, and told himself to calm down and use his skills better.

  With an all-out run, he sprinted into the bunker, then flew to the dream.

  At the moment of landing, Wang Jianan was already excited, and he had a premonition that this was a jump that fulfilled his dream.

  "I looked back and found that there was no foul, and took another look at the bunker. The score was around 8.30 meters." Wang Jianan knew that, there was.

  When the score of 8.36 meters appeared on the big screen, Wang Jianan's name passed Tentoglo and rose to the first row.

After a lapse of 7 years, he entered the golden age of his career and finally changed the medal of the World Championships to gold.

Wang Jianan was interviewed after the game

  "I dreamed of winning the gold medal at the World Championships three times, and I had it this year. But every time I woke up, I told myself to be realistic and to move forward steadily. I just stared at the medal for a long time and was very happy."

  From Wang Jianan's expression and words in the interview, it is easy to capture the joy that comes from the heart.

For him, after more than ten years of hard work, winning the coveted gold medal with the best result of the season is a real dream moment.

  From Liu Yuhuang's 5th place at the Los Angeles Olympics to the podium in international competitions in recent years, the long jump is a relatively good event for Chinese men's track and field.

Chinese players have been among the best in the world competition for many times, but unfortunately they have repeatedly missed the championship.

  The sand raised by Wang Jianan when he landed has made those regrets dusty since today.
