"If Lin Yuwei comes to participate in the World Championships, she will definitely be able to enter the semifinals! ”
Many netizens have made similar comments after seeing Wu Yanni's performance at the 2024 World Championships, but in reality, it seems that her results are not bad, as she broke her own all-time best record!
This result is not outstanding among European and American competitors with a high level of competition, but in the domestic hurdles competition, this is already quite an excellent performance, which can be described as remarkable.
Wu Yanni's previous personal best was 8.15 seconds, placing second from the bottom with a total of 43 competitors. And this time, she quickly jumped from fourth place in the group to fourth place!
Unfortunately, Wu Yanni still couldn't get rid of the "first round" in the end, and her result was only 002 points!
On the evening of March 3, 2024, China's Wu Yanni participated in the preliminaries of the women's 60m hurdles at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Glasgow, England.
She was placed on the third track in the fourth group in the preliminaries, and her already nervous mood became even more intense when she saw the rest of the group.
On the first track, there was a vacancy, and the rest of the runners were all strong athletes from Europe and the United States, with Finland's Husko achieving a best time of less than 7.80 seconds.
Her previous best time was just 8.15 seconds, and the powerhouse was best at the 60m. In contrast, Wu Yanni herself is better at the 100m hurdles!
This time, she didn't seem to be as ostentatious as she used to before the match, she covered the tattoo on her right arm, and her iconic "finger sky" disappeared, only to see her make a very cute heart-to-heart gesture.
She excels in the 100m dash, where she has a strong edge in the back, but in the 60m dash, her slow start is one of her weaknesses.
Wu Yanni had a very good performance throughout the race, and although she had a slightly slow start, she crossed the finish line in 4th out of 7 runners.
Wu Yanni's results have also improved, and she has actually had a chance to reach the semi-finals before the group stage is over.
However, after all the group competitions, the final time to advance to the semi-finals was 8.10 seconds, while Wu Yanni's performance stopped at 812, due to a difference of only 002 seconds, Wu Yanni lost in the first battle of the New Year!
Before the game was about to start, when the public learned that Lin Yuwei was absent and Wu Yanni went to fight for the country, many netizens lost great expectations for this game.
Considering that Lin Yuwei's previous best time was 8.08 seconds, if she can achieve this time again in this competition, the Chinese team has a good chance of advancing to the semi-finals. After all, such a performance would put the Chinese team in an advantageous position.
The only thing to be thankful for is that she managed to break her previous record, which is actually positive news.
In the interview, Wu Yanni herself was not satisfied with her performance, because before the start of the race, she originally thought that she could run a time of 8.10 seconds!
Wu Yanni went backstage for an interview immediately after the match, and her qualification was still undecided at the time.
It wasn't until she and the reporter went through the last two sets of competitions that she saw someone running better that she also realized that she was out of the semi-finals this time.
Subsequently, the reporter asked: "How many points do you think you can get for your performance?" ”
Wu Yanni said: "If I give a score, I can only give myself 2 points, because this shot is really not good!" "In the race, we also clearly saw that Wu Yanni's start was significantly slower than that of the same group.
Wu Yanni said that although she broke her personal record, she was not satisfied because she believed that she was capable of running a time of 8.10 seconds. In front of the camera, she didn't explain her performance too much, but admitted that her results were not satisfactory.
Shortly after the official end of the competition, Wu Yanni also expressed her opinion.
After arriving in the UK on February 29, Wu Yanni immediately updated her status, expressing her wishes for "good luck" and hoping for some luck to come.
Recently, Wu Yanni updated a short **, in which she showed a photo with her coach and world record holder Charlton, and then said, "I want to go back to practice now!" ”
She then posted on Weibo: "I have clearly recognized the gap between myself and the world's best players! ”
Competing in a world-class competition for the first time, Wu Yanni has been competing in China and has won the second and first place many times, and finally successfully qualified for this year's Olympic Games!
However, some attentive netizens found a detail in Wu Yanni's Weibo, that is, the drink on her table was "Wahaha! ”
With the death of Wahaha's founder "Zong Qinghou", this domestic brand has once again attracted a lot of attention, and there has been a phenomenon of frenzied buying Wahaha products to show respect.
When competing in the UK, Wu Yanni's table and taste in her mouth were all Wahaha products from our country.
Wu Yanni is no stranger to Wahaha, a brand that was once a part of everyone's childhood. Some netizens saw her support for domestic products and praised her for "bringing Wahaha out of the country and speaking out for domestic products, it's great!" ”
However, there are also people who are skeptical of this and make many unfriendly remarks.
is really the queen of traffic, and everyone has begun to follow the trend to chase this popularity! "Wahaha is on the table, it's really scheming! ”
In the comment area, many netizens do not agree that Wu Yanni is supporting domestic products, on the contrary, they feel that she is deliberately gaining attention, but in fact, Wu Yanni herself is controversial, and she does not need to rely on the attention of others at all.
In addition to this **, she also posted a photo with the famous American player "Lyles".
As a female track and field athlete, Lyles is very famous, after all, she is considered the greatest sprinter of the post-Bolt era, and she has also won the title of "100m flyer".
Wu Yanni looked a little shy when she stood next to Lyles, but she was very happy to be able to take a photo with her idol!
Since the sprint incident, Wu Yanni's image in the minds of netizens has begun to deteriorate sharply and she has become a controversial athlete.
Many netizens think that Wu Yanni is too flamboyant and conceited, maybe these are just her external performances.
In sports, winning and losing is commonplace. Although Wu Yanni only participated in a short race this time, in reality, there is a significant difference between the performance of Asians and Europeans and Americans in the sprint event.
Among the Asian athletes, she was still able to come out on top with a time of 8.12 seconds!
Every athlete is eager to win glory for the country, and since netizens began to pay attention to Wu Yanni, she has not only gained attention, but also brought countless controversies. Perhaps more than anyone else, she wants to prove her worth once again through her grades.
She said that this was her first time participating in an international competition, and it was also the first time she had actually left the country to see the strength of European and American players.
I hope that Wu Yanni can train hard in the future and continue to surpass her performance record!
