Wu Yanni won the championship easily in 13.14 seconds, ending the hustle and bustle of the winter training season and pointing to Paris
At 8:35 a.m. on November 10, Beijing time, the first National Youth Games held in Nanning ended the competition for the women's 100-meter hurdles in Group B of Women's University, one of the most watched track and field events, and the popular star Wu Yanni represented Beijing and easily won the championship in 13.14 seconds. After winning the championship, Wu Yanni just stuck out her tongue and didn't celebrate too much. After the noisy and controversial 2023 season, the next step is winter training, and Wu Yanni is officially preparing for the Paris Olympics.
With a muscle patch wrapped around his right arm, he still has his trademark shrug and finger movements before the start.
Wu Yanni's starting action is not very standardized, and she is more like lying on the starting line than other runners, which is also one of the most likely reasons why this year's Hangzhou Asian Games will cause her to be emotionally nervous and rush to run.
Lin Yuwei did not participate, and Xia Sining did not participate. The first and second are vacant, and the third is Xu Danyang from Inner Mongolia. The 4th is Gong Qiudan from Sichuan, Chen Yinfeng from the 5th, Wu Yanni from the 6th, Wei Yuhui from the 7th, Chen Yuyang from the 8th, and Liang Yina from the 9th.
This time, Wu Yanni started very smoothly and did not rush again. She quickly established an advantage and threw her followers away from her followers on the way to the run, which she did with ease as her opponents didn't put a lot of pressure on her. She also stuck out her tongue mischievously as she crossed the finish line.
The scene showed that her score was 13.15 seconds, and after the final confirmation of the referee team, Wu Yanni's winning result was revised to 13.14 seconds. Yunnan's Chen Yinfeng was second in 13.60 seconds, and Sichuan's Gong Qiudan was third in 13.73 seconds.
Wu Yanni's 2023 season is officially over.
13.14 seconds, which can only rank 13th in Asia this season, which is not very good. However, Wu Yanni won the runner-up at the Universiade in Shuangliu on August 4 this year, with a time of 12.74 seconds, which has reached the Paris Olympics.
Summing up Wu Yanni's 2023 season from the level of results, she still gained a lot. The best time in Asia this season is 12.74 seconds run by Lin Yuwei when she won the Asian Games. This season, Chinese women's hurdlers have run a total of 7 times in the women's 100m hurdles event to break the 13-second mark, including-
Lin Yuwei three times, 12.74 seconds (Asian Games champion), 12.79 seconds (Asian Games semifinals), 12.97 seconds (Shenyang National Championships runner-up)
Wu Yanni four times: 12.76 seconds (Universiade runner-up), 12.86 seconds (Universiade semifinals), 12.93 seconds (Shenyang national champion), 12.98 seconds (Universiade preliminaries)
The best results in the top 15 in Asia this season
Overall, Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei can represent the highest level of women's 100m hurdles in China and even Asia, and they will have the strength to enter the semifinals in the Olympic Games. It's already November, and according to the usual rhythm, the top track and field athletes in October are already preparing for the second year of winter training. So Wu Yanni's achievements today are not very outstanding, and it is understandable. I hope that Wu Yanni will let go of the distractions and impetuousness, devote herself to the winter training, and strive to improve her personal best with Lin Yuwei in the healthy competition with Lin Yuwei before the Olympic Games in the first half of next year, and strive to reach the final of the Paris Olympic Games.
