The hurdle goddess Wu Yanni grabbed the red card, missed the Asian Championship gold medal, and negotiated with the referee for ten minutes
The 2023 Asian Championships in Athletics is in full swing in Thailand, and in the much-anticipated women's 100m hurdles competition, Chinese hurdle goddess Wu Yanni was sent off for a running foul and missed a godsend opportunity to become the Asian women's hurdles king. India's Jyoti Yaraj won in 13.09 seconds.
The women's 100m hurdles world record is 12.12 seconds set by Nigeria's Amsan, the Asian record is Kazakhstan's Olga Shishkina's 12.44 seconds, and the national record is Zhang Yu's 12.64 seconds, a full 30 years ago. This year's world best was 12.31 seconds for Camacho of the United States.
The Chinese athletics team sent national champion Wu Yanni and National Games champion Lin Yuwei to play together, Lin Yuwei temporarily withdrew due to injury, Wu Yanni fought alone, lost to Japanese veteran Asuka Terada in the preliminary round, and won the second place in the group in 13.18 seconds to advance to the final. In the final, Wu Yanni faced the challenge of Japan's twin sisters Aoki Masui and Asuka Terada, in addition, India's Joti Yalagi knocked on the 13-second barrier in the preliminary round, ranking first in the preliminary round, and her strength should not be underestimated.
Wu Yanni, a 26-year-old girl from Zigong in Sichuan, has recently become popular quickly and successfully achieved a breakthrough because she not only has excellent appearance, a healthy figure, but also a cool personality. The overseas edition of the Global Times even wrote that Wu Yanni has changed the aesthetics of Chinese, and young people are no longer just chasing slim and weak female artists in the entertainment industry, but are attracted by the confident, tenacious, youthful and energetic Wu Yanni-style sports beauty.
The game was played in heavy rain, the starting gun sounded, Wu Yanni reacted quickly, the first to rush out, but was judged to be a running foul! In this regard, Wu Yanni seemed a little incomprehensible, and her face was full of anxiety and frustration. After more than ten minutes of talking to the referee, she was sent off the pitch with a red card. Judging from the slow motion, Wu Yanni's snatching is not obvious, and the naked eye cannot distinguish it at all. Of course, Wu Yanni was unwilling and explained repeatedly, but the referee still upheld the original judgment, and the little girl was so anxious that she almost cried.
In the end, India's Jyoti Yaraj rode in 13.09 seconds, Japan's 33-year-old Asuka Terada won silver in 13.13 seconds, and Japan's Aoki won bronze in 13.26 seconds.
