But there is still suspense about the ownership of the gold medal
While passing the water intake point of the last lap
Yang Jiayu's left heel was accidentally stepped on
She bent down to pick up her shoes
When you get up again
It is about 10 meters behind Ma Zhenxia
Then Yang Jiayu rushed to catch up
After a series of overtaking and being overtaken
Yang Jiayu once again passed Ma Zhenxia before the finish line
Pocket the gold medal
"The shoe fell off, and I was going to go (not mentioning it).
But I feel like I can't rush up like this.
So I brought it up anyway. ”
Talking about this "episode" after the game
Yang Jiayu put it mildly
But the moment the heel stepped off
Jiang Qiuyan, Yang Jiayu's head coach on the sidelines
But my heart was cold
"I thought this gold medal at the time
Probably far away from us. ”
Jiang Qiuyan recalled after the game
High level of competition
In the final sprint stage, the shoes were stepped on
Stop from high-speed travel to pick up your shoes
Then accelerate to catch up and surpass
This series of operations is very difficult

The defending champion wins another gold medal
It seems reasonable and logical
However, the hardships behind the gold medal are
Only the parties really understand
At the Budapest Athletics World Championships in August
Yang Jiayu, who was aiming to rush gold before the game, failed to give full play
In the end, it only ranked 12th
After returning from the World Championships with a sense of loss
Yang Jiayu experienced another cold for about a week
After recovering from the illness, three weeks of systematic training were conducted
Soon, her physical condition suddenly encountered a low point
System training is not possible
Each day can only be based on restoring physical strength
According to Jiang Qiuyan
Yang Jiayu's period before the game
In Haining, Zhejiang Province, I trained very hard
No matter how hot the weather is, how humid it is
All strive to complete the coach's training plan
A few times I even practiced until I vomited, and I still kept going
"I was really touched that she won this gold medal.
That's what she deserves too
Because she really gave a lot. ”
Speaking of hard-won achievements
Jiang Qiuyan couldn't help but reddened her eyes
Jiang Qiuyan was interviewed after the game.
"I think the gold medal at the Asian Games is more determined
Yang Jiayu's confidence in winning gold and silver at the Paris Olympics. ”
Jiang Qiuyan said
"We will also give it our all and train hard
Enhance your strength even more. ”
