Shi Yuhao is a great Chinese long jumper. His story is full of ups and downs, but he never gave up. Over 8 years, he has grown from a nervous teen to a bronze medal(铜牌) winner at the World Athletics Championships.
In 2017, 18-year-old Shi went to the World Championships for the first time. He got to the final but felt so nervous that he cried. Even so, he finished sixth. Before that, he was already a talent. At 17, he set the Asian youth record of 8.30 metres in 2016. People thought he would have a bright future.
But bad luck came in 2018. At the Shanghai Diamond League on a rainy night, Shi lost his balance upon landing and hurt his bone badly in his left foot while jumping. He couldn't compete for five years. It was a hard time, but he worked hard to make himself stronger. He even changed his take-off foot to the right one. His coach took him to train with Su Bingtian, a top sprinter(短跑运动员). This helped Shi a lot.
Shi's hard work paid off in 2023 at the National Athletics Championships, where he jumped 8.18 metres. Then in September 2025, 26-year-old Shi went to the World Championships again. Unlike his first appearance in 2017, Shi was relaxed and calm—so much so that he "felt like singing" before the final. In the final, he jumped 7.84 metres at his first attempt(尝试), then improved to 8.33 metres on his second—his personal best of the season, and won a bronze medal for China and his first medal at the World Championships.
Talent is good, but the spirit of never giving up helps him go further. From a crying 18-year-old to a medal-winning 26-year-old, Shi has not only rewritten his own story but also shown young people how to face difficulties in life. He is a true hero!
