Yuan Qiqi and Wu Yanni: The Rising Stars of Chinese Track and Field

On the evening of October 3, in the women’s 4x100m relay field of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese team consisting of Liang Xiaojing, Wei Yongli, Yuan Qiqi, and Ge Manqi was like a bolt of lightning, overwhelming the Thai team and crossing the line to win the championship with a time of 43.39 seconds.

Throughout the entire game, the Chinese team quickly expanded its lead in the third leg, drawing attention to the third leg player Yuan Qiqi. Just after the game ended, when the broadcast camera was shown to the players on the field, netizens were shocked by Yuan Qiqi’s leg muscle lines: they are both beautiful and explosive, perfect!

In the picture, Yuan Qiqi’s legs have obvious muscle lines, which seems to allow people to see the infinite energy contained in her legs through the skin. So, everyone gave her the praise of “King Kong Barbie”.

According to China News Service, on the second day after the game, Yuan Qiqi posted a video on social platforms of her teammates being so tired that they were speechless during training. Behind the rapid pace on the field, there are actually countless days and nights of ups and downs.

Yuan Qiqi was born in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province in 1995. In 2006, she entered the Zhangjiagang Youth Amateur Sports School for training due to her outstanding performance in the Zhangjiagang City Primary and Secondary School Sports Games. Yuan Qiqi, who showed excellent physical fitness and good explosive power, was spotted by coach Xu Jie and began to practice sprint events.

Four years later, in the Jiangsu Provincial County Track and Field Competition, Yuan Qiqi ran 100 meters in 12.11 seconds in the rain, reaching the level of a national first-class athlete. Hard work paid off, and her talent was seen by the outside world again, and she entered the track and field team of Suzhou Sports School to continue training.

At the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the Chinese women’s relay team won the championship with a time of 42.83 seconds, breaking a 16-year-old competition record. Yuan Qiqi witnessed that game as a substitute.

Yuan Qiqi is a talented youngster who became famous at a young age. She was once considered to have a chance to break the 11-second mark and become a world-class athlete, but injuries hindered her upward momentum.

As early as 20 years old, Yuan Qiqi hit a time of 11.29 seconds against the wind. What is this concept? At this year’s Hangzhou Asian Games, the women’s 100-meter trapeze is enough to win a medal. At that time, there was a hot discussion in the circle: “A genius girl has emerged from Jiangsu. She doesn’t look like a typical sprinter, but she really has a future…” Yuan Qiqi represented the Chinese relay team in the Rio Olympics before she was 21 years old. Many sprinters felt that It’s only a matter of time before she breaks 11 seconds, and she hopes to become a world-class female 100-meter jumper. It is a pity that the highlight moment of 11 seconds has not yet arrived. The 11 seconds 29 run by the 20-year-old is still the best result of Yuan Qiqi’s career.

When strength athletes engage in speed events, there may be many hidden dangers of injuries. At the 2017 Tianjin National Games, when they were leading the final sprint, they suffered muscle spasms and fell at the finish line and lost the gold medal. Since then, things have not been going well.

In the last Asian Games in Jakarta in 2018, Yuan Qiqi did not show her best form in the fourth leg. The Chinese team composed of her, Liang Xiaojing, Wei Yongli, and Ge Manqi failed to defend the title in the relay event.

At this year’s Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese team’s opportunity has come. Yuan Qiqi is 27 years old, but her persistence in her dream has not wavered. This time, the Chinese women’s relay team competed with the original team, making up for the regrets in Jakarta at home.

When Yuan Qiqi took over the third leg on the field, she finally achieved a big explosion, and suddenly widened the gap with her opponents. Teammate Ge Manqi also revealed: “I had expected that when Qiqi finished the third leg and handed over the baton, We are already number one.”

When talking about the women’s 100 meters, the first thing that senior track and field fans think of is Wei Yongli, Ge Manqi, and Liang Xiaojing. As for Yuan Qiqi, if it weren’t for her popular thigh muscles, she still wouldn’t be able to compare with the above-mentioned top runners. In terms of historical status, Wei Yongli has broken the 11-second mark and is the third fastest Chinese female trapeze artist in history. She is also the only player to enter the 11-second mark after China Sports in the new century has strengthened the purity of the competition field. Ge Manqi is the 100-meter champion of the new Asian Games, maintaining the best time in Asia this year of 11.17 seconds. Liang Xiaojing has also long served as the indispensable first leg of the Chinese women’s relay. These are things Yuan Qiqi cannot compare with.

Yuan Qiqi lost to Wei Yongli and won the silver medal in the 2017 National Games. In the 2021 National Games, she lost to Ge Manqi and finished second. She has always been a “top” player in the country, especially this season. Yuan Qiqi’s best time is 11.34 seconds. Although she cannot Compared with Ge Manqi, it is also inferior to Wei Yongli’s 11 seconds and 24 seconds, but it is the same as Liang Xiaojing, so we can conclude that Yuan Qiqi is currently tied with Liang Xiaojing as the No. 3 person in the country for 100 meters.

But Yuan Qiqi not only steals the spotlight with her muscles, but also has an amazing fighting spirit. She also successfully helped the Chinese team win the gold medal in the women’s 4x100m relay at this year’s Asian Games, winning the attention and respect of the Chinese people. China needs warriors who may be unknown but who work tirelessly.

After finishing her journey to the Hangzhou Asian Games, Yuan Qiqi has returned to Suzhou. Yuan Qiqi is famous for her “leg value”, and she doesn’t mind talking about her thighs. When asked about the attention paid to her leg muscles, Yuan Qiqi said confidently: “Every muscle on my body is to win glory for the country.”

“If boys don’t have muscles, why don’t they think about why they are worse than me?” she said with a smile.

Before the Hangzhou Asian Games, Yuan Qiqi bought a fan that symbolized “good things come flying”. “I hope to win the championship at the Asian Games, and I also look forward to competing for a medal at the Paris Olympics.” After a short break, she is about to head to the next battlefield.

If Yuan Qiqi became popular because of her “legs”, the one who is famous for her “looks” is of course 100-meter hurdler Wu Yanni.

On the evening of October 1, at the Hangzhou Asian Games track and field venue, the women’s 100-meter hurdles event was the finale. Everyone is paying attention to whether “Hurdle Goddess” Wu Yanni can win the championship.

Wu Yanni looks beautiful and has always attracted much attention. Her personal best time in the 100-meter hurdles was 12.76 seconds, which was the best among the eight finalists. However, this time she only entered the finals with a time of 12.80 seconds. Her biggest opponent was another Chinese player who finished first with a time of 12.79 seconds. Lin Yuwei entered the finals.

At the beginning of the race, Wu Yanni stole a step at the start. Her stealing was so obvious that it was clearly visible to the naked eye. According to the competition rules, she should have been directly disqualified, but Wu Yanni kept complaining. It was rumored that the Indian player next to her, Yaraj, had influenced her. Yaraj also went to the referee to complain, and it took a long time. At that time, another Chinese player Lin Yuwei took off her spikes. Afterwards, Lin Yuwei responded that she was afraid that her body would cool down, so she ran a few times, but found that her feet were a little numb, and seeing that Wu Yanni had no intention of stopping complaining, she took off her shoes to relax.

Later, a group of referees were arguing for a round and decided to let the game continue before dealing with Wu Yanni’s stealing incident. Wu Yanni was still on the starting line and started again. As a result, she crossed the line in second place. It was not surprising that team player Lin Yuwei won the championship in 12.74 seconds. Later, the referee decided that Wu Yanni was eliminated due to DQ, and Indian player Yaraj made up for the runner-up.

Wu Yanni kept complaining about delaying the game, triggering widespread criticism online. Wu Yanni later issued a post in the early morning of October 2, apologizing for sneaking in, especially feeling sorry for the Indian player Yaraj on the sideline. She said she respected the referee’s decision and would face the failure and try again.

Wu Yanni is usually very prominent, while teammate Lin Yuwei is more low-key. Lin Yuwei won the women’s 100-meter hurdles gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, and the popularity suddenly rose. When she returned to her hometown, she suddenly discovered “why there are so many relatives.” As the saying goes, if you are poor in the city, no one cares about you, but if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains.

The hurdle goddess Wu Yanni suddenly fell from heaven to earth, and even her endorsement of products was cancelled.

The story of Yuan Qiqi and Wu Yanni tells us that in the real world, we still have to focus on performance and strength, and “legs” are more important than “appearances.”

The global economy is at a “crossroads,” but major foreign banks and international institutions have successively raised their forecasts for China’s economic growth. The Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development even bluntly stated that he “does not agree” with the foreign media’s negative remarks about China’s economy.

On Wednesday local time, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development issued a report predicting that global economic growth will slow down to 2.4% in 2023, calling for the reform of the global financial system, strengthening market supervision, and establishing a more equitable global trading system.

The report pointed out that although a few economies such as Brazil and China achieved growth against the trend, economic growth in most regions around the world has slowed down compared to last year. Reports show that China’s economy began to show signs of recovery last year, but faces weak domestic consumer demand and private investment. However, the report pointed out that compared with other large economies, China has greater fiscal policy space to deal with challenges.

According to Agence France-Presse, the UNCTAD lowered China’s economic growth forecast for 2024 from 5% to 4.8%, citing “weak domestic demand.” Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan said at a press conference, “This is (a sign of) economic slowdown, but it is different from the very pessimistic comments we have seen in some media.”

She pointed out that some foreign media have exaggerated concerns about China’s economic growth and emphasized that Beijing still has sufficient fiscal space. “We do not agree with the very pessimistic forecasts about China’s economy.”

Greenspan believes that China’s economic growth is slowing down, but there will not be a serious crisis. She added that China “unlike other countries, has a lot of fiscal space,” so the Chinese government still has ways to “rebound and support the economy.”

Richard Kozul-Wright, Director of UNCTAD’s Division of Globalization and Development Strategies, criticized the pessimism of some Western media against China’s economy. He said consumer demand in China was lower than expected, but UNCTAD “certainly disagrees with the almost hysterical reaction to China by some Western media.”

He further pointed out that in the UNCTAD forecast report, China’s performance “eclipsed” the economic growth of the euro area. China’s economic growth rate this year will be 10 to 12 times that of the euro area. “China will remain a major contributor to global economic growth.”

Wright said that China’s policymakers must find ways to solve some problems, because it is indeed not easy to achieve the 5% economic growth target. However, he reiterated that “challenges exist, but not on the scale we often see in Western media.”

According to multiple foreign media reports, after China’s August economic data showed signs of economic stabilization, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and ANZ Bank raised their forecasts for China’s economic growth rate in 2023 in mid-September. The two institutions raised their respective forecasts for China’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 20 basis points, to 5% and 5.1% respectively. Bloomberg reported that in early October, Citibank Group also raised its economic growth forecast for China in 2023 to 5%.

In addition, since the second quarter, many international institutions including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, United Nations, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and other countries have successively raised their economic growth expectations for China.

Georgieva, President of the International Monetary Fund, said that the Fund highly values ​​China’s strong leading role in achieving global economic growth. Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization, also expressed his expectation to see China’s economic recovery to continue to promote global growth.

In short, despite short-term fluctuations, what these international institutions see is the strong resilience of the Chinese economy.

Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, earlier responded to the argument that “China’s economy is in ruins” and said, “It seems that various theories of ‘China’s collapse’ appear every once in a while, but the fact is that China’s economy has not collapsed. On the contrary, it is ‘China’s collapse.’ The “collapse theory” has collapsed repeatedly.”

Mao Ning said that since the beginning of this year, the world economic recovery has been weak and the external environment is severe and complex. However, China’s economy has continued to recover and the overall recovery is improving. In the first half of the year, China’s GDP grew by 5.5% year-on-year, significantly faster than last year’s 3%. The International Monetary Fund predicts that China’s economy will grow by 5.2% this year, and its contribution to world economic growth will reach 1/3. China’s economy will still be the main driving force for world economic growth.

Mao Ning emphasized that the fundamentals of China’s economy, which is highly resilient, has great potential, is full of vitality, and has long-term positive trends, have not changed. China has the confidence and ability to promote sustained and healthy economic development. China will adhere to a high level of opening up, strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries around the world, and share development dividends. China’s development will bring more opportunities to its Asian neighbors and the world.
