On the seventh match day of the World Championships in Budapest, the high-profile women's javelin throw competition began, with the Tokyo Olympic women's javelin champion Liu Shiying also participating.
In the first competition, Liu Shiying set her personal best of the season in her first throw, reaching 61.66 meters, which also put her in third place for a time.
However, in the second half of the match, Liu Shiying encountered some difficulties, including two throws that were judged to be fouls, which undoubtedly prevented her from performing better again. In the end, she finished the race in sixth place, missing out on a medal.
As the race drew to a close, the only competitor this season to successfully break through 67 meters, Japan's Kitaguchi Hazel, threw an outstanding 66.73m under intense competitive pressure. This result allowed her to successfully counterattack from the original fourth place and win the championship, fully demonstrating her strength.
Japan's Kitaguchi Hazel's 66.73m was the final throw of the race, but it was enough for her to win the crown. The victory also made her the second Asian athlete to win the women's javelin throw event after China's Xu Demei.
The winner of this tournament truly belongs to Japan's Kitaguchi Hazel, and her outstanding performance once again demonstrates the importance of strength in competitive sports. Backed by the expectations and pressure of the audience, she showed excellent throwing skills and psychological qualities.
The report card of the final was unveiled, and the name of the winner was inscribed as Japan's Kitaguchi Hazel, who scored 66.73 meters. The runner-up went to Hultado of Colombia, who set a new South American record with 65.47 meters. Third place went to Little from Australia, who won the competition with a time of 63.38 meters.
It is worth mentioning that Kitaguchi's victory also marks another great breakthrough for Asian athletes in the women's javelin throw world championship event, which is also the second player in Asian history to win the world championship in this event. In this competitive world, Kitaguchi Hazel proved his strength and determination with practical actions, and won glory for Asian players.
Looking back at history, China's Xu Demei at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo won the women's javelin throw with a throw of 68.78 meters, becoming Asia's first world champion in this event. Now, Kitaguchi's victory continues the Asian athletes' outstanding performance in this event, adding more brilliance to the entire region.
Medal table
The United States continues to top the list with 8 gold, 8 silver and 7 bronze, Spain 4 gold in 2nd place, Jamaica 3 gold 3 silver 3 bronze in 3rd place.
After Japan won its first gold, it ranked 13th with 1 gold and 1 bronze.
China has 0 gold, 0 silver and 1 bronze, down 8 places from 23rd yesterday to 31st in the medal table.
This year, Chinese athletics has declined in many events, not to mention that the 100m and 200m Chinese teams have no one to participate, and the traditional dominant event race walking has not yielded anything, and the best result is only seventh. The gold-winning project has become a brand competition project, and the key is not to win the brand. Now the only face left is in Gong Lijiao, and her shot put results have always been relatively stable. But this season is second and not fully sure of winning gold, so we have to be prepared for no gold.
