A few days ago, the 2023 Yangtze River Delta Athletics Short Jump and Relay Competition was in full swing at the Huzhou Olympic Sports Center. Fortunately, many of the main athletes of the Chinese track and field team have set their best seasons in their respective disciplines. In the men's 110m hurdles, Xu Zhuo from Shanghai ran 13.51 seconds and 13.47 seconds in two rounds respectively, winning the championship and setting a new personal best in history. In the men's pole vault final, Yao Jie won with a time of 5.70 meters, a full 10 centimeters higher than his previous season best of 5.60 meters, and ranked first in Asia this season.
In the women's 100m hurdles, rising star Xia Sining won the championship with a time of 13.41 seconds, also achieving the best record of the season. At the same time, the Chinese track and field team middle and long-distance runners also made a number of breakthroughs in The Track Fest held in Los Angeles, USA. In the women's 10,000m final, China's He Wuxia once again achieved a personal best in history, and another competitor, Ma Xiuzhen, also set a new personal high. In the women's 800m race, Wu Hongjiao won the third place with a time of 2:04.88.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second wave of "record-breaking frenzy" ushered in by the Chinese track and field team after the 2023 National Athletics Grand Prix. This season, the main competition tasks of the Chinese track and field team are the Hangzhou Asian Games and the World Championships. In the meantime, the players still have to work hard for their tickets to the Paris Olympics. Xie Zhenye, Ge Manqi, Liang Xiaojing, Wei Yongli and others have achieved good results in their respective competitions, and they are also the main force of the Chinese team in the Paris Olympics.
In the National Athletics Grand Prix, Olympic champions Gong Lijiao and Liu Shiying, world champion Feng Bin, and famous players Zhu Yaming and Wang Zheng also appeared. Judging from the results of the competition, several main players are still in the adjustment stage, and their goal is to win the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games. After the Grand Prix, the Yangtze River Delta track and field short jump and relay events began in Huzhou. In the much-watched men's 110m hurdles final, Xu Zhuo from Shanghai was a standout. In the two-shot competition, Xu Zhuo ran 13.51 seconds and 13.47 seconds respectively, setting a new personal record best. Netizens have expressed their expectation that Xu Zhuo can become Liu Xiang's successor.
In the men's pole vault final, Yao Jie successfully crossed a height of 5.70 meters, and while winning the championship, he also improved his personal best by 10 centimeters. So far this season, Yao Jie's achievement ranks first in Asia. In the women's 100m hurdles, young player Xia Sining won the championship in 13.41 seconds. Chinese track and field women's middle-distance runners He Wuxia and Ma Xiuzhen also set personal bests in their respective competitions, and the two girls said they would strive to rewrite history for the Chinese team at the World Championships and Asian Games!
