After winning last night's national championship in 12.74 seconds, Wu Yanni is once again in the spotlight online.
Because of the different channels for absorbing information, many people thought that Wu Yanni broke India's Yaraj in May last night to break the best time in Asia this year with 12.78 seconds. In fact, Wu Yanni broke the record of 12.75 seconds set by Japan's Mako Fukube a day ago.
Let the opponent's record be held for less than a day, such a break is exciting enough.
However, the women's 100m hurdles staged a more extreme break early this morning (Beijing time). First, Jamaica's Nugent ran a world best of 12.28 seconds, and an hour later, Russell of the United States ran 12.25 seconds.
This year's best result in Asia, this year's best result in the world, half a second apart. The 100-meter race, half a second apart, is a level of competition between the two worlds.
If Wu Yanni competes in the Olympic trials in the United States and Jamaica, what is 12.74 seconds?
12.74 seconds can be ranked ninth in the preliminaries at the American Trials; They also finished ninth in the semi-finals, and the last place reached the final; The final position rose one place to finish eighth.
At the Jamaican Trials, 12.74 seconds could finish sixth in the final.
And that's just the women's 100m hurdles domestic level for the United States and Jamaica.
After rushing to 12.74 seconds, Wu Yanni ranked 43rd in this year's world results rankings. In a way where only three players can be selected from one country or region, the 43 players will have to remove the 19 additional American and Jamaican players.
In this way, Wu Yanni ranked 24th, just enough to enter the semifinals of the Olympic Games! It seems that Wu Yanni has been positioned in the dark.
But now Wu Yanni is in such a high state? Why can't you think about the finals?! It depends on how much it takes to qualify for the finals.
The eighth place in the semi-finals will prevail. 12.65 seconds for the '19 World Championships, 12.50 seconds for the '22 World Championships, and 12.60 seconds for the '23 World Championships. At the Tokyo Olympics, it was 12.67 seconds.
The semifinals of the women's 100m hurdles at the 22 World Championships are the craziest and accidental. But what is clear is that now we have to play about 12.60 seconds to talk about the final.
So Wu Yanni's goal is clear: to reach the semifinals with the first shot of the Olympic Games. In the second semi-final, he tried to set a personal best of 12.73 seconds. The mission is a success!
