At 6:45 p.m. on June 30, the 2024 National Track and Field Championships Finals ushered in the pinnacle of the women's 100-meter hurdles. Asian Games champions and runners-up Lin Yuwei, Wu Yanni, and popular player Xia Sining all appeared, which can be described as star-studded.
This final has already been foreshadowed. In the previous preliminaries, Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei ranked first in their respective groups with a time of 13.06 seconds and 13.26 seconds respectively, and easily advanced to the finals. And the popular rising star Xia Sining ranked seventh with 13.66 seconds, and almost passed the test. All indications show that this final is destined to be exciting and full of masters.
In the game, Wu Yanni changed the previous decline at the bottom of the Diamond League. She has brilliantly continued her recent fiery form in the Asian arena, overcoming one hurdle after another with a smooth rhythm, and she is like a rainbow and invincible. Although Asian Games champion Lin Yuwei bit closely, it was always difficult to overtake in corners. In the end, Wu Yanni crossed the line first with an amazing time of 12.74 seconds, beating Lin Yuwei to win the championship and once again set a new personal best. This is also the highest level of women's 100m hurdles in Asia this year. Lin Yuwei finished second in 13 seconds, and Xia Sining ranked fourth in 13.38 seconds.
In fact, since the Hangzhou Asian Games, the competition between Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei has become more and more intense. At this year's World Indoor Athletics Championships, Wu Yanni set a new personal best in the women's 60m hurdles event four times in a month, showing a strong impact trend. Although she was at the bottom of the Diamond League in Xiamen and Suzhou against strong opponents, she quickly adjusted and won consecutive championships in Osaka and Tokyo on the Intercontinental Tour. In contrast, Asian Games champion Lin Yuwei spent most of the first half of the year training in the United States, only running 13 seconds once, and her form was slightly sluggish. The defeat in this duel will undoubtedly motivate her to play hard before the Paris Olympics.
The standard line for the 100m hurdles at the Paris Olympics is 12.77 seconds, and Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei have already qualified in advance. This time, Wu Yanni has achieved another good result, which is undoubtedly a step forward on the road to hitting Olympic medals. However, Lin Yuwei will never admit defeat easily, and rising stars such as Xia Sining are also eyeing her. The Chinese women's sprint is now a master, who can be finally sealed on the Paris Olympic track, we will wait and see!
