The track and field star responded that he was disqualified from the Asian Games: I didn't expect to lose so much to Japanese athletes at the World Championships

The start of the Hangzhou Asian Games is imminent, but recently the Chinese Athletic Association announced the decision to adjust the Asian Games participation list. Female middle-distance runner He Wuxia was not selected for the Asian Games based on her World Championship results, and He Wuxia and her coach Li Li were removed from the Asian Games list.

In the eyes of the outside world, "delete" is a very serious word. Moreover, He Wuxia originally planned to compete in the women's 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters in athletics at the Asian Games. After her name was "deleted", the Chinese team will not compete in the women's 5,000 meters at the Asian Games, and only Li Yaxuan will participate in the women's 10,000 meters.

In the past few days, the "deletion" of He Wuxia from the Asian Games list has caused heated discussions. On the morning of September 12, the Chinese sports delegation of the Hangzhou Asian Games was officially established, with 886 athletes. 25-year-old He Wuxia also revealed her heart on her personal social platform and responded to the concerns of the outside world.

He Wuxia first said that I am sorry to disappoint everyone, and I just want to say that athletes must rely on strength to speak.

Ho talked about his main rival in Asia, Japanese athlete Nozomi Tanaka. At the World Athletics Diamond League in Brussels on September 9, Nozomi Tanaka ran 14:29.18 in the women's 5,000 meters, setting a new Japanese national record set at last month's World Championships.

At the Budapest Athletics World Championships in late August, Nozomi Tanaka ran 14:37.98 minutes in the 5,000m heats, breaking the national record and ranking sixth. In the final, she finished eighth, with the top seven being African and European athletes.

Ho's personal best time in the 5,000m was 15:11.10, which was run at the Payton-Jordan Athletics Invitational in the United States in April.

At this year's World Championships, He Wuxia was affected by injuries, and the women's 5,000m preliminary race ran only 15:54.30, 43 seconds slower than her personal best. In the end, she finished 36th in the preliminary round and third from the bottom out of all 38 finishers.

The fiasco at the World Championships was the direct cause of Ho's disqualification from the Asian Games.

Today, He Wuxia marveled at the progress of Nozomi Tanaka in the article: "I didn't expect her to win so much at the World Championships, and I didn't expect her to make such a big improvement this time (referring to the Diamond League). ”

Subsequently, He Wuxia said that he was actually very proud, this year the 5,000 meters have improved by 45 seconds, and the 10,000 meters have improved by 1 minute and 27 seconds. Now she sees the gap and sees that she still has a lot of potential, which also motivates her to work harder and improve herself.

He Wuxia finally said: "It is a personal regret for me not to be able to participate in the Asian Games, and I lost an opportunity to fight for the country, but this is not the end for me, after all, there will be the Olympic Games next year, my coach and I want to challenge for this, everyone continue to cheer me on!" ”

Here's why the witch social platform responded to the full text:

Born in 1998, He Wuxia is a Yi girl from Yanyuan County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan, who won the third place in the women's 10,000m at the 2021 National Games, and is currently a representative of Chinese women's middle and long-distance running.
