In the women's 100m hurdles final of the 2024 National Track and Field Grand Prix (first stop) Zhaoqing Station, Asian Games champion Lin Yuwei and Universiade runner-up Wu Yanni were both absent, and 20-year-old Liu Xiang's sister Xia Sining was very popular, and she was the first in the preliminaries, and she was the first to last in the final, finishing eighth in 14.15 seconds. Xia Sining's poor performance is not a reflection of her true strength, and it is likely to be related to an old injury to her thigh muscles.
The women's 100m hurdles world record is 12.12 seconds held by Nigerian superstar Amsang, and the national record and yellow record is 12.64 seconds held by Zhang Yu 31 years ago.
Xia Sining easily ran 13.19 seconds in the preliminaries of this Grand Prix, ranking first, which is very close to her career best of 13.14 seconds, especially when she did not use her full strength in the final sprint, which made fans expect her to explode passionately in the final.
Lin Yuwei is training overseas in the United States, and Wu Yanni is preparing for the Diamond League Xiamen Station, but they have not registered for the National Grand Prix. There were a total of eight players in the finals, the second Chengdu Institute of Physical Education Wei Yuhui, the third Fujian Jiang Li Yunzhe, the fourth Guangdong Luo Xianyan, the fifth Henan Chen Jiamin, the sixth Hunan Xia Sining, the seventh Guangdong Liu Jingyang, the eighth Henan Dai Yiru, the ninth Yunnan Chen Yinfeng.
Before the game, Xia Sining was not unusual, her expression was calm and heroic, still sticking to her thigh muscles, and she was still wearing the questionable sports briefs. The race was carried out in the case of a headwind of 0.1 meters per second, Xia Sining's starting reaction time was 0.153 seconds, and the start and the first three hurdles were not handled very well.
In the end, Xia Sining ranked 8th among the 8 contestants in 14.15 seconds, Chen Jiamin won the championship in 13.39 seconds, Chen Yinfeng won the second place in 13.51 seconds, and Liu Jingyang won the third place in 13.69 seconds.
