preface
Everyone, it's time for our favorite sports gossip again! Who is the protagonist today? That's right, it's our "flying man" Wu Yanni! This girl, who runs like the wind on the track and field, recently caused an uproar on the Internet because of a pair of "surprisingly short" shorts. What's going on? Let's take a look! Here's the thing, a few days ago, a photo of Wu Yanni on the training ground went viral. In the photo, she is wearing a pair of ultra-short athletic shorts and is concentrating on training.
These shorts, how to say it, that's called a short! Some netizens even joked: "Where are these shorts, they are clearly underwear!" As soon as this photo came out, it immediately sparked a heated discussion among netizens. Someone said, "Isn't it a little too sexy to have such short shorts?" As a public figure, shouldn't you pay attention to your image?" Someone else said, "Will it affect other athletes if you wear it like this?" However, there are also many people who speak up for Wu Yanni.
They said, "People are athletes, don't they wear what to wear for the convenience of the competition?" What's all the fuss about, don't all foreign athletes wear it like this?" Someone else said, "You only saw the shorts, why didn't you see how hard she trained?" In the face of this sudden turmoil, Wu Yanni herself seemed unusually calm. She did not make any remarks on social media and did not give any interviews. As if nothing had happened, he still showed up on the training ground on time every day, sweating and training.
This kind of "you say yours, I run mine" attitude, I have to say, domineering side leakage! However, have you ever wondered why Wu Yanni chose to wear such short shorts? Is it really just for the sake of being "sexy"? Behind these shorts, there is a secret that is even more exciting than a gold medal! We need to know that for athletes, the choice of competition clothing is not casual. Every piece of equipment has been carefully designed and considered. Shorts are no exception.
Wu Yanni chose this ultra-short sports shorts mainly for the following reasons: to reduce air resistance. In sprint races, every slightest hint of air resistance can affect the final result. Shorter shorts mean less air resistance, which can potentially earn athletes a precious fraction of a second. Increase freedom of movement. Sprinters need to swing their legs widely, and shorts that are too long may limit their movements. Extra-short shorts allow them to move their legs more freely.
Good for heat dissipation. Sprinters generate a lot of heat during competitions and training, and shorts can help them dissipate heat better and keep their bodies in tip-top shape. Psychological factors. Wearing these tight shorts allows athletes to feel the strength of their muscles and boost their self-confidence. Therefore, Wu Yanni's choice of shorts is not to attract attention, but to have thoughtful considerations. Behind this is her pursuit of professionalism and her desire for every bit of progress.
Speaking of which, I wonder if you think of another athlete who caused controversy because of the competition costume? That's right, it's Fu Yuanhui a few years ago. At the time, she was disqualified from the competition because her swimsuit had a sponsor's logo printed on it. This incident also caused a lot of controversy at the time. Whether it is Wu Yanni's shorts or Fu Yuanhui's swimsuit, they all reflect a problem: there is a certain contradiction between the professional needs of athletes and the expectations of the public.
In order to achieve better results, athletes may choose some equipment that is "not very decent" in the eyes of ordinary people. However, as public figures, they have to think about their own image. This contradiction often bothers athletes. Back to Wu Yanni's incident. Actually, if we take our eyes off that pair of shorts, we'll find more things worth paying attention to.
At the 2022 World Athletics Championships, Wu Yanni won the bronze medal in the women's 100m hurdles. This achievement not only created the best result of Chinese athletes in this event, but also let the world see the rise of Chinese track and field. From the defeat in the National Games to the bronze medal in the World Championships, Wu Yanni proved her strength with practical actions. Her story has also inspired countless young people to pursue their dreams.
Wake up at 5 a.m. every day, run, strength training, technical training... At the end of the day, the training time is often more than 8 hours. Even on her days off, Wu Yanni will do proper recovery training. In the eyes of others, such a life is too boring. But for Wu Yanni, this is her daily routine. She once said in an interview: "I enjoy the process of training because I know that only effort pays off."
This kind of dedication to dreams and strict requirements for self is the key to Wu Yanni's success. Speaking of which, I don't know if you think of another Chinese track and field star Liu Xiang? It is also a hurdling project, and they have also faced doubts and criticism, but they have all proved themselves with their own strength.
Liu Xiang once said after retiring: "The career of an athlete is very short, and the effort we put in and the pressure we endure are unimaginable to outsiders. I hope you can give more understanding and support to the athletes. Whether it is Liu Xiang or Wu Yanni, their stories are telling us a truth: there is no shortcut to success, only pay to reap. Back to Wu Yanni's "shorts incident", should we look at this matter from a different angle?
Instead of dwelling on whether her shorts are too short, focus on the effort she puts into training. Instead of discussing whether she was dressed appropriately or not, it is better to applaud her achievements. After all, the most important thing for an athlete is not what she wears, but how fast she runs and how high she jumps. Of course, this doesn't mean that athletes can completely ignore their public image. As public figures, athletes do need to find a balance between professional needs and public expectations.
The upcoming Paris Olympics is undoubtedly another important moment in Wu Yanni's career. She appears confident in the face of the upcoming challenges, and on social media, Wu Yanni often shares her training status. "I'm willing to give everything for the sake of my dreams," she said. I hope that in Paris, I can win glory for my country!"
This kind of confidence and determination can't help but cheer for her. But at the same time, we should also note that the road to Olympic gold medals is not smooth. The competition is fierce. In the women's 100m hurdles, there are competitors from traditional powerhouses such as Jamaica and United States. They are all world-class players, and it can be difficult to stand out from these players.
The pressure is enormous. As the new hope of Chinese track and field, Wu Yanni shoulders the expectations of the people of the whole country. This expectation can sometimes turn into an invisible pressure. How to adjust her mentality and maintain her best condition will be another challenge she faces. The element of surprise. In a high-level game, any small mistake can lead to a loss. How to stay calm and play at the best level at critical moments is a test of the psychological quality of every athlete.
In the face of these challenges, Wu Yanni needs to put in more effort than ordinary people. The shorts that sparked the controversy may be a microcosm of her efforts. It represents her pursuit of professionalism and her dedication to her dreams. Here, I would like to say: instead of dwelling on a pair of shorts, it is better to give athletes more understanding and support. They have made unimaginable efforts for the honor of the country and deserve our respect.
Looking back on Wu Yanni's growth process, we can see how an ordinary girl walks to the world stage step by step through her own efforts. From the provincial team to the national team, from the National Games to the World Championships, and then to the upcoming Olympic Games, every step is condensed with her sweat and tears. Isn't this process a microcosm of each of us's struggles? We may not be athletes, but we all have our own dreams and goals. Wu Yanni's story teaches us that nothing is impossible as long as we persevere.
So, the next time you see Wu Yanni running around the field, don't just focus on her shorts. More importantly, to see the firmness in her eyes, the strength in her movements, and the dreams she fought for. This is what really deserves our attention and learning. Let's cheer for Wu Yanni and cheer for all those who chase their dreams! Because we believe that in the face of hard work and perseverance, there is no secret that cannot be hidden, and there is no gold medal that cannot be won!
