China's 100-meter newcomer won the double championship with five brushes in 40 days, and at the age of 16, he has the appearance of a future sprinter king!

In the men's 100m final of the Chongqing Grand Prix in China Athletics yesterday, champion Xie Zhenye naturally received the warmest response. But for track and field fans, finishing fifth is also worth mentioning. He is Guangdong's Wu Haolin born on October 25, 2006.

Although it is only fifth, and Wu Haolin finished fifth in 10.42 seconds, which is not very competitive in Asia, Wu Haolin is fully worthy of the title of the most dazzling Chinese 100m rookie of the year, although it is only in early June.

From late April to early June, the full 40 days did not arrive. Wu Haolin opened and hung the same progress range, which made people only admire.

At the end of April, Wu Haolin won the Asian Junior Championships in 10.55 seconds, and he ran 10.53 seconds in the semifinals. Far exceeded his pre-personal best of 10.67 seconds set at the 2022 Base Concession.

Back in China, Wu Haolin broke the 10.50 seconds mark three times at the National Junior Championships in late May, and finally won the championship in 10.46 seconds, 10.46 seconds in the preliminary round, and 10.45 seconds in the semifinals.

Wu Haolin, who has not yet reached the age of 17, is suitable for Children's Day, and the author does not know. But just after Children's Day, Wu Haolin once again set a new personal high, running 10.44 seconds in the semifinals in Chongqing, and 10.42 seconds in the final.

In this way, in less than 40 days, Wu Haolin won two Asian and domestic championships in three nine-gun competitions of his age. He has set a new personal high five times, and his personal best has risen from 10.67 seconds last year to 10.42 seconds now! This is close to the top ten in China this year, ranking absolutely first among domestic players born after 2005.

How far can Wu Haolin's competition improve this year, very excited to predict the topic. Of course, Wu Haolin, who is full of motivation, should also feel the gradual increase in pressure. And as he ages, can Wu Haolin's strength also show year-on-year growth? No one wants to bear the conclusion that "debut is the peak".

Wu Haolin's 10.46 seconds at the National Junior Championship a few days ago was said to break the national junior record that has been held for more than 40 years, which is of course incorrect. There are not a few domestic players under the age of 17 who break 10.40 seconds. But now it is of little significance to entangle this point, in the ultimate stage of world competitions such as the World Championships and the Olympic Games, how much breakthrough can be made, what ranking to get, should be the track and field masters to really pursue the goal. Here I just want to say: I hope that Wu Haolin will bring us excitement and shock, 2023 has just begun.
