In the women's javelin final of the Hangzhou Station of the National Track and Field Grand Prix, 15-year-old Zhejiang teenager Yan Ziyi won the championship with a score of 64.28 meters and broke the world youth (U20) record. In this game, she compared the two famous players Liu Shiying and Lu Huihui. Among them, Liu Shiying is the javelin champion at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
In the case of Liu Shiying and Lu Huihui's poor state, Yan Ziyi was born, and the Chinese women's javelin has another superstar. China's women's throwing has always been a strong point, with many famous players in the shot put, hammer throw and javelin. At the Tokyo Olympics, Gong Lijiao won the shot put championship, and Liu Shiying won the javelin championship.
The 15-year-old Yan Ziyi has won many honors in both the javelin throw and shot put. She will become famous in 2023, and at the U15 World Student Games, Yan Ziyi won two championships in shot put and javelin, which can be regarded as a world champion. Yan Ziyi also won the women's javelin championship in the secondary school category at the end of 2023.
In 2024, Yan Ziyi competes at the senior level, and she continues to improve. In the 2024 track and field throwing group competition, Yan Ziyi first threw 61.31m in the javelin, and then 61.83m.
And at the Hangzhou Station of the National Track and Field Grand Prix, Yan Ziyi went to the next level, and this competition gathered all the famous players in the national women's javelin. Liu Shiying is an Olympic champion, and Lu Huihui has won the runner-up in the World Championships. There is also a famous player Dai Qianqian to participate.
Yan Ziyi threw a record of 64.28m, which is her personal best, which is the best result in the national women's javelin this year, and at the same time broke the world youth record.
Dai Qianqian finished second with 63.63m, breaking her personal best. Lu Huihui won the third place with 61.95 meters. Liu Shiying was not in good shape, and 55.53 meters only finished eighth.
Yan Ziyi's results have reached the Paris Olympics. The 15-year-old has a bright future ahead of her, and she is also very strong in the shot put, but now it seems that she may be able to take the javelin as her main sport. After all, from the current point of view, Yan Ziyi's javelin development potential is better.
In addition, the career of an athlete in the throwing event is relatively long, and Yan Ziyi is now at the top, which is just the beginning of her stepping on the big stage. Yan Ziyi has not yet participated in the World Championship at the senior level, so I look forward to her many better results in the future!
