On the evening of the 30th, Wu Yanni, a Sichuan girl, won the women's 100-meter hurdles final in the 2024 National Track and Field Championships and National Track and Field Grand Prix Finals, swept her opponent with a time of 12.74 seconds, set a new personal best, and won the gold medal in the last domestic competition before the Paris Olympics. Lin Yuwei, a strong player, did not play well and finished second with a time of 13 seconds. It is worth mentioning that in this competition, Wu Yanni's score of 12.74 seconds created the first time in Asia in this season's event, surpassing the 12.75 seconds set by Japan's Mako Fukube this season.
In the finals of the National Grand Prix, Wu Yanni, Lin Yuwei and Xia Sining gathered three players to compete on the same stage, and the attention was quite high. In the preliminaries, the trio played in different groups. Wu Yanni easily finished first overall in 13.06 seconds, followed by Lin Yuwei in second overall with 13.26 seconds. In the face of a big gap, many people think that Lin Yuwei is poised for the finals. Teenager Xia Sining did not play well, ranking seventh in 13.66 seconds and advancing to the finals.
Unlike the slippery field after the rain in the preliminaries, the track and field field in today's final was very dry, which was conducive to the performance of the athletes. Wu Yanni, who started in the sixth lane, although she did not take the lead quickly after the gun, quickly threw off the other players with her hurdle technique, and surpassed Lin Yuwei, who had strong explosiveness and slightly insufficient back-up ability. In the end, Wu Yanni took the lead in crossing the line with a time of 12.75 seconds, Lin Yuwei was second in 13.00 seconds, and Xia Sining was fourth in 13.38 seconds.
Lin Yuwei and Wu Yanni are the "leaders" of the women's 100-meter hurdles in Chinese track and field, and they are equal in strength and have always been the top two in various domestic events. Lin Yuwei won two weighty gold medals in the Asian Games and the National Games. And Wu Yanni is not far behind, holding the silver medal of the Universiade and the gold medal of the Tokyo Golden League.
Because Lin Yuwei and Wu Yanni have won the tickets to the Paris Olympics, the two have been preparing for the Olympics in different ways this season. In March this year, Wu Yanni refreshed her personal best in the 60-meter hurdles event four times in more than 20 days. After the Diamond League, Wu Yanni promised the outside world that she would adjust her state as soon as possible and run well. Her bold words: "Sister Ni will do what she says!" "In Japan, it was confirmed in Osaka and Tokyo, and twice fulfilled its promise to run under 13 seconds.
Next stop is the Paris Olympics! I wish Wu Yanni, a Sichuan girl, can realize her vision in the Olympic arena: "Break the national record of 12.64 seconds and bring the Chinese women's hurdles to the world." ”
