On the evening of August 4, Chinese athlete Wu Yanni ran 12.76 seconds in the women’s 100-meter hurdles final of the Chengdu Universiade held at the Shuangliu Sports Center Stadium, creating a personal best and also winning the gold medal in the event. After the race, the Sichuan girl expressed the hope that Chinese women’s hurdles will go to the world and to the highest podium.
“My mentality is relatively free and relaxed in home games. The reason why I was able to refresh my personal best twice is more because of all the audience and staff who supported me. They gave me more motivation than pressure. “Wu Yanni told reporters at the post-match press conference. In the group match held yesterday, Wu Yanni won the first place in the group with a time of 12.98 seconds and successfully advanced. Earlier today, she ran a personal best of 12.86 seconds in the semi-finals and successfully entered the evening finals. In three shots, the PB was set twice. This Sichuan girl played really well at home.
“It is my love for the hurdles that has supported me to the present, and I also hope that my enthusiasm can encourage young people to step out of their comfort zone and experience the charm of Chinese track and field,” Wu Yanni said. When asked about the influence of Liu Xiang, the men’s 110m hurdles champion at the Athens Olympic Games, on her, Wu Yanni, who had just celebrated her 26th birthday, said that it was the appearance of Liu Xiang that contributed to the qualitative leap of Chinese track and field, and at the same time attracted everyone’s attention. When it comes to hurdles, “Brother Liu Xiang is Brother Liu Xiang, and I am me. I also want to be the one who will let everyone know that the women’s 100-meter hurdles can lead Chinese women’s hurdles to the world and to the highest podium. Is it done by myself or by other Chinese female athletes.”
