On May 21, 2023, Beijing time, in the women's 100m preliminary round of the 2023 National U18 Athletics Championships and East Asian Youth Trials held in Tianjin, Ma Rui, a young athlete from Ningxia, China, achieved great results. With a downwind of +1.9 m/s, he set a time of 11.38 seconds and successfully advanced to the final. At the same time, with this achievement, Ma Rui has become a new record holder in 5 competitions of Asian U18, China U18, Chinese Junior, Chinese Middle School and Chinese Junior High School, which can be described as promising in the future, and it is very likely that he will be directly selected for the national team in the future!
Judging from the process of this competition, Ma Rui started quickly after firing the shot, quickly established the advantage, and continued to accelerate in the second half, and finally led nearly 10 meters, crossed the finish line, and was strong. For the 16-year-old Ma Rui, his time of 11.38 seconds has reached the level of international athletes, which also means that he has reached the level of the national team. We have reason to believe that in the near future, Ma Rui can continue to show her potential on the field, create more achievements, and even become the leader of the new generation of Chinese women's sprinting!
Ma Rui, who is only 16 years old this year, can be said to have reached the top level of talent and strength, even exceeding the same level of Wei Yongli and others in China's current sprinter, after all, Wei Yongli and others failed to run 11.38 seconds when he was 16 years old, and the young Ma Rui had such results at the age of 16, it is enough to see that Ma Rui's strength is shocking. In the history of women's sprinting in China, this result can be regarded as one of the best. Therefore, we have reason to believe that in the future, through scientific training and reasonable guidance, Ma Rui will inevitably bring us more surprises.
When it comes to Chinese women's sprinting, we will not hesitate to think of Wei Yongli, a Chinese female flyer, and Ge Manqi, a leader of the new generation of women's sprinting. In the past many competitions, they have won a lot of glory for the country through their own efforts and their own strength. But the increase of age and physical injuries and other factors seriously limit their own breakthrough, now the birth of Ma Rui, bringing a lot of vitality to the Chinese women's sprinting event, we expect that the future Ma Rui can stand on the intercontinental and even international arena with Ge Manqi and other predecessors, strive to break through themselves, and dedicate their strength to the national athletics cause!
The 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games is about to start, and only Liang Xiaojing has exceeded 11.38 seconds this season, and Ma Rui is very likely to be shortlisted for the national team by lightning and show his young talent in the Asian Games!
