In the world of sports, talent and strength are always the focus of attention. This is especially true for women's 100m hurdles athletes Xia Sining and Wu Yanni. This pair of athletes with high hopes, one is known as the "future star", and the other is a popular and powerful faction; One is humble and introverted, and the other has a flying personality.
The obvious gap between the two on the field has always been a hot topic of speculation from the outside world. Recently, a video of the two in the same frame has been leaked, which finally allows us to find some clues.
This warm-up video shows the obvious difference between the two in action. Wu Yanni changed her normal and did not make too much publicity, but she was still confident and her movements were clean and neat; Xia Sining, on the other hand, was extremely cautious, and her actions were a little jerky.
And after the warm-up, Wu Yanni changed the style of the hippie smile in the past, shook off the runner in her hand in a chic manner, and showed the demeanor of a king in the flowing water.
Attentive viewers may have discovered that Wu Yanni's series of actions are closely related to the characteristics of her figure. Her slender crotch and muscular waist undoubtedly give her a great advantage in hurdles.
The slender crotch allows her to flexibly adjust her pace when hurdling, reducing unnecessary energy expenditure; The thick waist means excellent core strength, ensuring that the stability of the body is not compromised when running at high speeds and jumping over hurdles frequently.
Compared with Wu Yanni's "natural beauty", Xia Sining's figure advantage is slightly inferior. Her relatively high hip position and not slender but not too thick waist make it difficult for her to dominate the hurdles.
Of course, that doesn't mean she's out of the picture. It's just that compared with Wu Yanni, there are indeed some congenital deficiencies.
In addition to genetic factors, the training method is also a key to the difference in body shape between the two. It is not difficult to see from the video that Wu Yanni is more capable and neat when she acts, and her movements are very skillful.
This is inseparable from her long-term focus on core strength and flexibility training. From some of Xia Sining's jerky movements, we may be able to see that her training focus is more on the cultivation of basic strength.
This kind of thinking that focuses on all-round development may have temporarily affected her honing in some details.
Coincidentally, the difference between the two can also be seen in their demeanor and expressions in their off-the-field activities.
Wu Yanni always exudes an uninhibited and free spirit, even outside the arena, it is difficult to hide her confident and wild personality; Xia Sining, on the other hand, was calm and introverted, she focused all her attention on the preparation for the game, and seemed to be cautious about all strange things in the outside world.
This difference in temperament also reflects the gap between the two in terms of psychological quality. Wu Yanni's rebellious energy made her have an advantage in the climactic arena; And Xia Sining's cautious temperament makes her more vulnerable to external interference.
Of course, this difference is also related to the respective growth environment of the two. Wu Yanni, who was born in a sports family, has been rolling in this competitive circle since she was a child, and Xia Sining, as a latecomer, has not changed careers for too long, so it is inevitable that she will look young and rusty.
In the contest of strength and experience, Wu Yanni temporarily gained the upper hand. But we must also see that Xia Sining has never been crushed by this gap, but has always been chasing the road ahead with a focused drive.
In the latest episode of the interview program, she not only showed her tenacious and self-aware side, but also conquered countless audiences with her humble and polite and dignified temperament.
She said on the show: "I am willing to fight for my dreams. Even if there is a gap between me and my predecessors, I will continue to work hard to turn my dream into reality one day." In the face of this simple and persistent attitude, we have to look forward to her future.
Perhaps Wu Yanni's physical talent, psychological quality and experience advantages make her a leader at the moment; But if Xia Sining can constantly improve herself in humility and perseverance, and maintain her motivation and fighting spirit, she will also not be far from success.
Everyone should use their own unique attitude and efforts in life to pursue their own dreams and career peaks.
This is where the gap between the two best of the two comes from. When Wu Yanni reflected her fanatical pursuit of career with her frank and uninhibited personality, Xia Sining was also winning more people's praise and blessings with her tenacity and humility.
I believe that one day, they will finally meet on the field and start a showdown under the eyes of the whole world, explaining to us what is the real "soul of an athlete".
