The high jump is a challenging athletics sport that requires excellent explosiveness, bounce and coordination. So, what level is the high jump of 1.8 meters?
First of all, let's be clear, a high jump of 1.8 meters is not a very high score. In professional athletics, the men's senior high jump world record has exceeded 2.4m, while the women's senior jump world record has also exceeded 2.09m. Therefore, the high jump of 1.8 meters can only be regarded as the level of amateurs or beginners.
However, this does not mean that jumping 1.8m is meaningless. For most people, jumping 1.8m is already a pretty good result. This requires a lot of effort and time from the athlete to train and constantly improve their technical level and physical fitness.
In addition, the high jump of 1.8 meters is also the entry standard for many amateur competitions. In some community or school athletics competitions, the standard of the jump is usually less than two meters for the senior men's category, while the high jump standard for the senior women's group is less than two meters. As a result, athletes with a high jump of 1.8 meters are usually able to achieve good results and rankings in these competitions.
