The World Athletics Federation has officially announced the women's 100m hurdles at the Suzhou leg of the Diamond League, and Asian hurdles top athlete Wu Yanni is on the list, which means that she will compete in the Diamond League for two consecutive back-to-back races, becoming the first Chinese female sprinter in history to do so. The World Athletics Federation allowed Wu to compete in the lucrative Diamond League for the second consecutive tournament in light of her huge commercial value and strong upward trend.
Strictly speaking, only the top 20 players in the world ranking at the end of the year can qualify for the Diamond League, and although it is said that the host player has a wild card, it is not something that can be used casually. Last year, Lin Yuwei and Xia Sining were invited to participate in the women's 100m hurdles at the Xiamen Station of the Diamond League, but in fact, only Chinese players participated in the mat race. Wu Yanni directly participated in the 100m hurdles of the Diamond League, and competed with the Olympic champion, world champion and world record holder to determine the winner with one shot.
On April 20, at the Diamond League Xiamen Station, Wu Yanni will have a direct confrontation with the four queens of Amsang, Quinn, Charlton and Williams. On April 27, the Diamond League Suzhou station, Wu Yanni's main rival remained unchanged, a total of 9 players participated, in addition to Wu Yanni, there are Nigeria's Amsang, Bahamas' Charlton, Puerto Rico's Quinn, the United States' Johnson and Russell, Jamaica's Williams and Meghan, and Switzerland's Titagi. The terrifying thing is that Wu Yanni's eight competitors' career best times are all within 12.50 seconds, which is completely at the level of the Olympic finals! You must know that Wu Yanni's career best time is only 12.76 seconds, and the yellow race record and national record are only 12.64 seconds.
Wu Yanni was able to play two consecutive games against Olympic champion Quinn, world champion Williams, outdoor world record holder Amsang, and indoor world record holder Charlton, such a valuable experience cannot be bought with any amount of money! You must know that now the women's short span is the highest level in history, and these four gods are basically the strongest existence in history, and Wu Yanni will definitely show herself in such a peak duel, and her popularity in Europe and the United States will definitely soar.
Yang Hua Commentary exclusively learned that the World Athletics Federation gave Wu Yanni the highest level of courtesy, allowing a player ranked in the world to rank more than 50 to participate in the Diamond League twice in just one week - this is a major commercial event that many athletes want to appear in. Due to the very high points of the Diamond League, Asian women's short span players are not eligible to participate, Wu Yanni, who has refreshed PB four times in a row this season, can take this opportunity to earn points, and it is very promising for the world ranking to enter the TOP20!
