Beijing time, December 23 news, winter is often the customary winter training period for the Chinese track and field team. However, with the changes in training methods, some athletes have adopted competition instead of training. Women's pole vault star Xu Huiqin has made her season debut in Europe. She jumped 4.51 meters, which is a good start for her new season.
Since Europe will usher in the indoor season soon, Xu Huiqin chose to train in Europe so that she can have more opportunities to compete. In an indoor competition held in France a few days ago, Xu Huiqin made her debut in the new season. She finally crossed a height of 4.51 meters, giving the new season a good start.
Xu Huiqin from Zhejiang has long been accustomed to starting the season in France. In January 2019, I participated in an event in France, crossing a height of 4.50 meters, and set my best result at that time. Perhaps because of her good training in Europe that year, Xu Huiqin made great progress. In a special pole vault competition in Germany in July, she crossed a height of 4.70 meters. This result allowed her to successfully qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. In 2019, Xu Huiqin was also selected for the Chinese track and field team's entry list for the Doha World Championships. At the World Championships, Xu Huiqin crossed 4.50 meters once in the qualifying round, and failed to hit 4.55 meters the next three times. Unfortunately, she missed the finals.
In 2020, Xu Huiqin started the new season in France. At that time, she won an indoor championship with 4.50 meters. In 2021, Xu Huiqin won the championship with a height of 4.65 meters in the National Championships and 14th Olympic Games qualifying competition. At this year's Tokyo Olympics, Xu Huiqin crossed 4.55 meters for the third time in the qualifying competition. With this result, she qualified for the finals. In the finals, Xu Huiqin succeeded in jumping 4.50m in her second attempt, but failed in her next three attempts at 4.70m. She finished tied for eighth place with 4.50m. At the National Games in September this year, Xu Huiqin won the silver medal in the women's pole vault.
In February 2022, at the World Athletics "Gold Label" Indoor Tour Levan Station in France, Xu Huiqin crossed a height of 4.65 meters, which created her personal best result in the indoor competition. At the World Championships in Oregon, Xu Huiqin was in good shape in the preliminaries, crossing 4.50 meters once to qualify for the finals. But in the final, Xu Huiqin was in poor condition. She passed the bar for the second time at 4.30 meters, and then failed in her three attempts at 4.45 meters. In the end, she only finished 13th. For a period of time after the World Championships, Xu Huiqin's condition was also somewhat sluggish, and her score never exceeded 4.50 meters.
But this time, the new season has just begun. Xu Huiqin crossed the height of 4.51 meters. It can be seen that she is in quite good condition. Judging from Xu Huiqin's performance in recent years, she still has room for further improvement and has the ability to hit Asian records. If she can do some details well during the external training, then her performance is expected to reach a higher level. The direct reach mark of the women's pole vault at the Paris Olympics is 4.73 meters, which even exceeds the Asian record held by Li Ling . I believe that this mark will be an inspiring goal for Xu Huiqin.
For Chinese women’s pole vault, they still have obvious advantages in Asia. In addition to Xu Huiqin, Li Ling's strength is also outstanding. The most important event in China's track and field in 2023 is the Hangzhou Asian Games. Li Ling and Xu Huiqin should form the double insurance of the Chinese team in the women's pole vault event. I wonder if they can make some breakthroughs in the Asian Games.
