Lin Yuwei was the women's 100m hurdles champion at the Hangzhou Asian Games, when she blasted a personal best of 12.74 seconds to win the title. Entering 2024, Lin Yuwei is eager to continue to get stronger, she followed the Chinese track and field sprint team to the United States for special training, and ran 12.97 seconds and 12.83 seconds successively, creating the best in Asia this season.
Now Lin Yuwei has gone further, she posted a joint training video with the Tokyo Olympics women's 100m hurdles champion Camacho, in the video, Lin Yuwei and Camacho set off together, the first three hurdles Lin Yuwei did not fall behind, it can be said that Lin Yuwei's special training has a good effect, and her personal ability has been improved.
In addition to absolute speed, Lin Yuwei has improved her physical fitness to the extreme, according to the chat records posted by Lin Yuwei, her current body fat rate is 9.73%. According to the report released by the United States Athletic Council on the body fat percentage of male and female athletes in various competitive sports, bodybuilders have the lowest body fat percentage, followed by track athletes, with 10 to 15 percent for women. This means that Lin Yuwei's physical fitness has been trained to the extreme, at least the first gear in the field of female track and field athletes, and the body fat rate of 9.73% must be achieved through hard training.
At the same time, Lin Yuwei also posted her training photos, in which she has dark skin and looks strong, compared with another Chinese women's 100m hurdles player who loves makeup and whiteness, Wu Yanni, Lin Yuwei looks more like a professional athlete.
However, Lin Yuwei's world ranking is not as good as Wu Yanni's, Lin Yuwei did not participate in the Diamond League this season, on the other hand, Wu Yanni has participated in Xiamen Station and Suzhou Station, although they are both the penultimate No. 1, but also got points, which makes Wu Yanni's world ranking surpass Lin Yuwei, ranking 39th in the world, and also the first in the active Chinese women's hurdles.
For Lin Yuwei, the world ranking does not matter, what she pursues is to strive to break through her own limits, and she needs to break the personal best of 12.74 seconds as soon as possible, compared with the world's top level, Lin Yuwei is still a lot worse, as a comparison, the current women's 100m hurdles world record is 12.12 seconds, the Olympic record is 12.20 seconds, Camacho, Amsan and other top masters run casually is about 12.40 seconds. And Lin Yuwei's ultimate goal is to reach the Olympic finals, that is, the world's top eight level, and at least 12.60 seconds to hope to achieve the goal of the Olympic top eight.
Yellow sprinters have never been easy, and their explosiveness is far inferior to that of black runners, so Liu Xiang and Su Bingtian will be legends, and Lin Yuwei is now working hard to become a legend.
