China's Wang Jianan surpassed all his opponents in the men's long jump final at the World Championships in Athletics or in Oregon, becoming the first Asian athlete in history to win the world championship long jump championship. China's Gong Lijiao won the silver medal in women's shot put, and Shanghai teenager Song Jiayuan won the 6th place in women's shot put.
On the day of the race, Wang Jiannan stood on the auxiliary track for the last time, did not draw applause to the audience like the previous jumps, but just took a deep breath, and took off accurately after the run, like a bird sliding into the air, and the white sand splashed down, indicating that he had landed 8 meters away.
"I got up and looked at the bunker, estimated to be around 8 meters 3, either a medal or a gold medal, so I ran forward and subconsciously ran forward." Wang Jia Nan recalled the excitement of the moment after the game. When the 8-meter 36 was displayed on the big screen, he stopped, crouched on the ground, and covered his face with tears.
On that day, it once again witnessed the birth of a series of important records: in the history of the World Championships in Athletics, no player from Asia had ever won the men's long jump championship before, and Wang Jiannan became the first person in history; He is also the first chinese male athlete to win the athletics championship at the World Championships, and the fourth Chinese male athlete to win a gold medal at the World Championships after Liu Xiang, Wang Hao and Chen Ding.
In the final of the day, Gong Lijiao lost to the American Yili by a gap of 10 centimeters, and finally won the silver medal with a personal season best of 20 meters 39 thrown in the fifth round. She said after the game: "I beat myself, three shots above 20 meters, very happy with this result. ”
Gong Lijiao, who participated in the eighth World Championships, said that after taking a six-month break after winning the Tokyo Olympics, training resumed in March this year, and he was very excited to participate in the competition for the first time this year, but there was less "a little fierceness" at the key moment.
"Still the training ability is a bit poor, not recovering to the best. I was also looking forward to winning the gold medal myself, but I felt particularly tired because I didn't have systematic training. Gong Lijiao said that after this competition, there will be a few months of rest, and strive to resume training at the end of October to prepare for next year's World Indoor Championships and World Championships.
After entering the new Olympic cycle, the competition for women's shot put has become more intense, and Gong Lijiao has also encountered more challenges. Shanghai youngster Song Jiayuan also threw her best result in the fifth throw, finishing 6th with a time of 19.57 meters. This season, Song Jiayuan threw a personal best of 20.38 meters, performing well, and looked forward to her good results in the future.
