China’s Triple Jump Star Aims for Podium in Season Opener 🌟
The 2025 Diamond League kicks off this Saturday in Xiamen, Fujian Province, with 16 athletes representing the Chinese mainland competing across 10 events. All eyes are on triple jumper Zhu Yaming, fresh off a silver medal win at last month’s World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing! 🥈
🔥 From Slump to Silver: Zhu’s Comeback Story
At 30, Zhu is bouncing back stronger after a two-year rough patch. Teaming up with Brazilian coach Nelio Moura has reignited his spark, and his recent Nanjing performance proves he’s ready to take on world-class rivals like Burkina Faso’s Hugues Fabrice Zango and teammate Su Wen in Xiamen.
"I’ll give it my all when the competition starts," Zhu told reporters. "Hitting 17.30 meters could secure a top-three finish—and I’m here to keep the momentum going!" 💪
🏆 Road to Tokyo & Beyond
Zhu, an Olympic silver medalist (Tokyo 2020) and 2022 World Championships bronze winner, is laser-focused on this year’s Tokyo World Championships and China’s National Games. His journey from slump to resurgence is straight out of a comeback sports movie—complete with a dedicated coach and unwavering grit! 🎬
