Wu Yanni won the 2024 Japan Athletics Kinan Dotaka Memorial Championship in 12.86 seconds, tying the record of the competition, and holding the 60m hurdles and 100m hurdles two best times in Asia this year. Compared with the dazzling data, she dared to go to the meeting alone to challenge a number of famous Japanese players, and her courage and arrogance were even more awe-inspiring. - Wu Yanni paid tribute to Liu Xiang in the way of incarnating the "Anti-Japanese Flyer", continuing the 100% championship record of her idol in Japan.

The reason why Liu Xiang is great is that in addition to completing the Olympic Games, World Championships, and world record Grand Slams, he also makes frequent appearances in international competitions, demonstrates textbook hurdle skills, and undergoes countless rigorous doping tests, which makes European and American audiences deeply realize that Liu Xiang's skills are perfect, and it is logical and convincing that he can outperform black athletes. Liu Xiang has competed in Japan 12 times in his career, winning all 12 times, including the ninth miracle of the Osaka World Championships, and the Japanese media said sincerely: "Liu Xiang is the pride of the whole Asia." ”

Wu Yanni inherited Liu Xiang's unbeaten record in Japan, defeating the Asian Games third runner-up Yumi Tanaka, Japanese national record holder Mako Fukube and the immortal legend Asuka Terada in the Japanese lair. Before the game, Wu Yanni was forced to the edge of the cliff, and a large number of black fans did their homework in advance, ready to complain and carry out "carpet bombing" after Wu Yanni lost the championship, but their homework was done in vain.

In fact, Wu Yanni can't be compared with Liu Xiang in addition to her grades, but she also has a lot of similarities, in terms of personality, she is more casual, even a little flamboyant, and she is unwilling to be a marionette. In the absence of the certainty of victory, knowing that countless keyboard warriors had written messages in advance, "No one can lose to Japan", "How can I be embarrassed in front of the Japanese", "Don't come back if you are embarrassed to Japan", Wu Yanni still broke into the east alone without hesitation.

Technically, Wu Yanni and Liu Xiang are both technical streams, and they are both good at speeding up the back, and the World Athletics Federation data shows that Wu Yanni has the least loss in attacking the hurdles (No. 1 in the world). Of course, the men's high hurdles are different from the women's low hurdles, the women's low hurdles dilute Wu Yanni's technical advantages but magnify her flat running disadvantage, which explains why Liu Xiang is a world superstar and Wu Yanni is just an Asian master.

From the Asian Championships to the World Indoor Championships, from the Diamond League to the Japan Tour, Wu Yanni is alone, all under heavy pressure, she is also the Asian women's sprint sprinter who has participated in the most senior events of the World Athletics Federation in the past year or so (the event level is from high to low: OW, GW, GL, A, B, C, D, E, F), including three GW events second only to the Olympic Games, and one GL event, while Lin Yuwei's event this year is either E or F, and last year's Asian Games was A.

Wu Yanni's participation in the competition or expedition to Dongying obviously has many unfavorable factors, such as being easy to be brought down by competing with strong opponents, such as drug testing is more harsh and cumbersome than ordinary events, such as the additional public opinion pressure and psychological burden of "anti-Japanese...... But Wu Yanni has a "big heart" that ordinary people can't imagine, her idol is Liu Xiang, she wants to be as free and easy as Liu Xiang as much as possible, Liu Xiang's mantra back then was a bit cynical "play casually", and Wu Yanni's mantra is more self-domineering, saying "pleasing yourself or others" or "I, Wu Yanni...... (Balabala, a whole bunch)"

Once upon a time, we did not cherish Liu Xiang, scolding him as "Liu Ran Run", "Liu Retreat", and "Liu Liar", and later regretted it and apologized to him. Although today's Wu Yanni is far from Liu Xiang in terms of performance, her vivid personality and popularization of hurdles cannot be erased. There has never been a shortage of face-painted "gold medal machines" in Chinese sports, but there are not many who really dare and are good at expressing themselves, Wu Yanni told us that she is a human being first and an athlete second, whether you like it or not.
