On June 30, the National Track and Field Championships continued in Rizhao. In the women's 100m hurdles final, Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei ushered in a long-lost head-to-head showdown. The battle ended with Wu Yanni's victory, and she broke the PB with a time of 12.74 seconds and easily won the championship.
The time of 12.74 seconds not only refreshed Wu Yanni's personal best record, but also created the best Asian record this season. If Wu Yanni can run such a result in the Paris Olympics, there is a very high probability that she can break into the semifinals, and even hope to reach the finals.
From the official website of the World Athletics Federation, it can be found that if you follow the statistics of the athletes, the time of 12.74 seconds can be ranked 41st in the world this season. In terms of overall results, this is a joint 136th place among all competitors this season.
If only the results of Asian athletes are counted, 12.74 seconds can rank first in Asia this season. Among the top 5 results in Asia this season, Wu Yanni alone occupies 3 places. In addition to the 12.74 seconds he just run, the 12.80 seconds and 12.86 seconds he ran in Japan also ranked on the list.
The women's 100m hurdles semi-finals have been qualified in 13.04 and 13.03 seconds respectively for the last two Olympic Games, and if Wu can run this time in Paris, she will almost certainly qualify for a semi-final place.
