Everyone pays more attention to the sprint events in athletics, but there is not a lot of understanding of long-distance running events, so when you mention take-offs, you will always think of Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and other athletes, but there is a female long-distance runner who has also created the history of Chinese athletics, she is Wang Chunyu.
The results of the middle distance events in continental athletics are not very satisfactory, and it can even be said that the middle distance events in athletics in the whole of Asia are not particularly prominent. Sports fans can see that in the sprint event, the women's track and field team still has many powerful figures, but in the middle distance event, the continent's gold medal in the Olympic Games is 0. Wang Chunyu has always been very low-key, she has always been the best among the women in China's 800-meter event. And Wang Chunyu refreshed the history of Chinese athletics at last year's Winter Olympics, advancing to the top 5 of the Olympic Games with a time of 1 minute and 47 seconds, her strength is obvious to all, it can be said that she is comparable to Su Bingtian's existence.
In the final, Wang Chunyu not only broke through herself, but also set a new record for the Chinese women's 800m in the Olympic Games. The first lap was 58 seconds, surpassing Wang Chunyu's personal fastest pace on the first lap. When she reached the final with a personal best of 1:59.14 in the semifinal group, it was already a breakthrough of zero for China, you know, before this, not only 100 meters, even 800 meters had never been able to appear on the final track of the Olympic Games, but now Chinese have done it. It can be seen that the mainland is not only rising in sprinting events, but also has the strength to compete with world-class athletes in the field of middle and long-distance running, and the positive image brought by Wang Chunyu's achievement tells the world that we can Chinese in this project.
Recently, Wang Chunyu suddenly announced her retirement on social platforms, with a picture of her most beautiful, and her accompanying text is also very simple, just one sentence; "Here, let's say goodbye to everyone." Wang Chunyu's decision was too sudden, knowing that she was only 27 years old, at the peak of an athlete.
Everyone has been paying attention to her since the end of the Olympics, hoping that she can create good results again, but sometimes physical injuries cannot be fought against if you want to, and everyone will respect Wang Chunyu's choice. Last year, she has joined Anhui Normal University, became an honorable university physical education teacher, and also married the person she loves most, career and family have a good choice, after she got married, she also expressed her hope to train well, stand on the Olympic field again, she will continue to participate in the Asian Games held in our doorstep, but did not expect the Asian Games to be postponed, Wang Chunyu also had to choose to retire. If she keeps training and constantly breaks through herself, she can continue to improve in the Asian Games, but she didn't expect the Asian Games to be postponed.
Wang Chunyu succeeded in making Chinese sports fans remember the girl who wore a white headband and red bun on the track and field with beautiful muscular lines and decent height. Although she is reluctant to Wang Chunyu's retirement, netizens will respect her choice and wish Wang Chunyu a happier and happier life after retirement.
