In China, the number of world champions and Olympic champions is simply too high. However, in the current Chinese sports world, the real king of popularity is not a true world-class champion. In fact, she didn't even win the Asian Championship honor. Wu Yanni, known as a Chinese track and field athlete, has only won a national championship and a silver medal at the World Universiade so far, but her unique personality and a number of controversial quotes have made her the current "popular king" of Chinese sports. She was also awarded the "Person to Watch of the Year" honor by the "Weibo Burning Night" last month, but it is precisely because of her distinctive style that this honor of hers has caused a lot of controversy!
In the face of all kinds of rumors and criticism from the outside world, Wu Yanni, who has a distinctive personality, has no intention of changing her personality, and she is even determined to continue with a high-profile attitude!In her opinion, the best attitude is to stick to your own style and characteristics in life. Recently, Wu Yanni updated on her social ** and shared 6 photos of her life**, and it was these 6** that made her once again criticized by many netizens.
*One of them was taken by Wu Yanni in the car**, it may be that she has recently accumulated a lot of wealth by relying on her popularity, and in **, she also deliberately displayed the "Mercedes-Benz" logo.
There is also a ** showing that she is shopping for bags on the counter, and it can be clearly seen from the ** that this is a luxury luggage store.
In the last one, Wu Yanni tried her hair dyed yellow for the first time, which fully demonstrated her unique personality.
Now, how popular is Wu Yanni?How did she become one focal point after another?In other words, how much attention is really being paid to the topic about her?Last month's Weibo Burning Night awards event gave us an insight into the story behind it. In this grand award event, world champions and Olympic gold medalists in major sports fields across the country appeared one after another, including Sun Yingsha, the world champion of national table tennis, Liu Shiwen and Deng Yaping, Chinese badminton men's singles world champion Li Shifeng, Chinese women's football team's best goalkeeper Zhao Lina, four-time short track speed skating gold medalist Wang Meng, Chinese women's basketball two-time Asian Games champion Yang Liwei, Chinese women's volleyball Olympic champion Hui Ruoqi, NBA and CBA double champion Sun Yue, swimming Olympic champion, and world record holder Sun Yang, etc.
However, not everyone among the champions present at the competition has the opportunity to receive the award. Wu Yanni, as the only athlete to win the title of national champion, won the important award of "Person of the Year" that night, which is enough to prove Wu Yanni's popularity in the current Chinese sports world!When the host asked her about her specific goals for next year's Paris Olympics, her answer was simply: "Race to the final and finish in the top eight!".”
Despite this point of view, Wu Yanni is likely to face difficulties in achieving it next year, so why does Wu Yanni, who does not have outstanding results, cause so much controversy?How exactly did she manage to get to the top of the world?To understand this, we must start with this year's Chengdu Universiade. At the World Congress in August, Wu Yanni, as a representative of China, won the silver medal in the Universiade with an outstanding performance of 12.76 seconds. As she achieved an Olympic A standard, she qualified directly for next year's Paris Olympics. Despite being very popular across the country, Wu Yanni did not cause any controversy.
After a lot of outspoken comments, we've sorted out some of Wu's controversial remarks. For example, when a reporter asked her what she thought of other people's evaluations, Wu Yanni responded: "In this world, there are only two types of people who will criticize you, one is a woman who is jealous of you, and the other is a man who is not as good as you!."At that time, this sentence was criticized by many netizens, calling it "insufficient emotional intelligence".
In addition, CCTV reporter Dong Rina interviewed her. When Dong Ri Na asked Wu Yanni about the meaning behind the "garland wrapped in crown" tattoo on her arm, Wu Yanni responded: "It represents a kind of confidence in myself, and this tattoo is not a simple white vein!”
The third controversial remark was made at last month's National Student (Youth) Games athletics competition. After Wu Yanni won the championship with a time of 13.14 seconds, a reporter asked her what she thought of the "front-running incident". Wu Yanni's answer was: "There will always be failures and bottlenecks in life, what are you afraid of?".Wouldn't it be nice to cross the past?So, after the rush, I would go shopping the next day and forget about it completely. This is the "God Operation".The word "divine operation" is often heard all around us. There was nothing wrong with this sentence at first, but then she showed a "magic trick".
Wu Yanni said: "Later, someone warned me on the Internet not to rush again at the Youth Conference, and I thought to myself, even if I run again, what's the big deal!."Her words came as a surprise to many journalists. From the above quotes, we can feel Wu Yanni's inner tenacity and strength, which is exactly the characteristics of a professional athlete. However, she seems to have overlooked the fact that the real support behind her flamboyance is her achievements.
Taking the Hangzhou Asian Games as an example, Wu Yanni was canceled in the final stage because of the rush action. However, she also told the referee that it was the Indian next to her who interfered with her, causing her to run away. But from a slow-motion perspective, it seems that she is interfering with the Indian players around her. What's even more confusing is that after Lin Yuwei won the championship and ran out of the first place, Wu Yanni wore the national flag and circled the field, which is really incomprehensible!
Next, let's discuss Wu Yanni's point that "behind the flamboyance is the need for results to support", is it really possible for her to reach the final and finish in the top eight at the Paris Olympics?The answer, of course, is yes. Straight to the point, very small expectations!Because she doesn't have the strength to prove herself. At present, Wu Yanni's best individual time is 12.76 seconds. If this result were to be placed in the women's 100m hurdles final at this year's World Athletics Championships, she would have barely finished eighth. Moreover, Wu Yanni has a faster teammate Lin Yuwei in front of her.
Next, according to the latest world rankings of the women's 100m hurdles released by the World Athletics Federation in October, the champion of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Lin Yuwei, is ranked 38th, and Wu Yanni is among themAlthough she is not the winner of the best result in the World Championships, she is still the number one in the world. Ranked 51st in the world, it is a challenging task to reach the top eight in the final of the Olympic competition, both horizontally and vertically!
Wu Yanni has publicly stated many times that her idol is Liu Xiang. But looking at Liu Xiang, the European and American who made a name for himself in the global 110m hurdles and the legend who broke the world record and won the Olympic gold medal at the Athens Olympics, she didn't dare to be so high-profile at the time. Therefore, many netizens criticized Wu Yanni, not because they didn't like her personality or character, but because her strength did not keep up with this flamboyant pace.
