At the 2022 Chengdu Universiade, a 25-year-old track and field athlete Wu Yanni jumped into the limelight with her outstanding performance. Born in 1997, this new generation of girls not only has a delicate and charming appearance, but also shows unparalleled sports talent.
On the field, Wu Yanni's unique personality charm makes her stand out among many players. Whenever she stepped onto the starting line and was ready, she would make a signature gesture – she would hold her head high and her fingers pointed firmly to the sky, as if the confident elements of the clouds had written all over her face.
This move has undoubtedly become her most distinctive signature, making her stand out from many athletes.
Some people appreciate her energetic youth and domineering personality, while others criticize her overly flamboyant and conceited attitude. However, Wu Yanni always didn't care about these doubts and criticisms, she said frankly: "I need to show myself fully in the arena, I am here to compete, not to be a low-key person."
In addition to that iconic move, Wu Yanni's eye-catching large tattoo has also sparked widespread controversy. Although she explained that it was just a reflection of personal preference and unique personality, she chose to cover up her tattoo in some important competitions to avoid too many negative effects.
Wu Yanni's flamboyant, wild and uninhibited personality has deeply attracted the attention of the public. Whether it's her personalized pre-game moves or bold and cool tattoo designs, they are unforgettable and attract attention.
Her unique way of behaving is undoubtedly due to her natural personality, and it is also the key factor in her future popularity as a "savage girlfriend".
On October 1, 2022, this is the high-profile National Day of the Chinese nation, and it is also the last battle of the women's 100m hurdles final of the Asian Games. As a core member of the host Chinese team, Wu Yanni is undoubtedly the focus of attention of tens of thousands of spectators.
However, just when the atmosphere was warm and the audience was thunderous, a sudden accident made the atmosphere of the scene cool down instantly. It turned out that Wu Yanni and the Indian player Yaraghi on the right were both sent off because the referee judged them to be rushing violations!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze, and everyone was dumbfounded and speechless. After a short silence, Araj was the first to file a complaint with the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, and Wu Yanni did not show weakness and immediately expressed her dissenting opinion.
After careful discussion and weighing by the referee team, they made a decision that shocked the whole court - first to play a one-round rematch, and then make a fair and impartial final decision based on the rematch result.
Under the enthusiastic expectation of the audience, Wu Yanni and Yaraghi stepped on the track again, ready to start the "main race" competition. This time, with her outstanding strength and perseverance, Wu Yanni successfully won the runner-up crown, which is amazing!
With full joy, Wu Yanni was draped in the national flag and calmly accepted the frequent flashing of the flashing lights.
When she learned of this result, her originally proud face instantly froze, and Wu Yanni's eyes gradually filled with tears, obviously she didn't expect the ending to be so unexpected.
The whole process can be described as ups and downs, Wu Yanni went through a complex state of mind from being sent off the court to replaying, from ecstatic to overnight failure.
Wu Yanni has once again become the focus of public opinion, but this time the Internet is full of negative remarks. Some people bluntly said that her behavior seriously damaged the image of the country, and as the host team, she actually "stolen" under the gaze of more than 80,000 spectators, and she was really shameless to participate in the competition again.
India's Shankar and the president of the IAAF have publicly condemned it on social media, sharply accusing Wu Yanni's behavior of being "theft" on the field and ineligible to participate in the competition again.
However, there are still some people who support Wu Yanni, believing that she has done her best, and we should encourage and affirm her, instead of blindly making personal attacks and accusations.
In the face of heated public opinion, Wu Yanni issued a solemn public statement, apologizing for her misconduct on the field and admitting that she was just too eager to win.
In recent times, Wu Yanni's popularity and attention have soared like a rocket! Against this backdrop, doubts are rife, and many people are wondering if she intends to create a hot spot in order to make more money.
As they expected, it didn't take long for Wu Yanni to successfully contact many well-known brands, including such as the thunderous Luckin Coffee and the international brand Louis Vuitton, etc., and her personal social media platform activities are frequent and popular, more like an active "Internet celebrity", which is very different from the stereotype we have of athletes in the past.
Public opinion on the matter has shown a very different attitude, with supporters blindly following and opponents lashing out, and the Internet is flooded with positive and negative reviews.
Long before the outbreak of the rush incident, Wu Yanni's unique and flamboyant personality had already caused a lot of controversy, and this turmoil undoubtedly added the last fire to her image.
In this storm of public opinion, the battle between Wu Yanni and Yaraj intensified, and the two sides came and went without giving in. So what caused this incident to happen? In order to find out the truth of the matter, we revisited the video of the game at that time.
When we adjusted the video to slow-motion mode, Wu's sprint was clearly visible: her feet left the starting block significantly earlier than the other runners, taking the zama step and starting the sprint.
However, Wu Yanni firmly denied it, claiming that it was due to the influence of Yaraj's leg movements on the right side that caused this violation.
As expected, in the slow-motion video, we were able to observe that Araj's right leg was indeed pressed downward. However, the magnitude of this action is so small that it is almost imperceptible to the naked eye unless it is played back in slow motion.
More importantly, Wu Yanni's feet have never completely detached from the starting block, and according to the latest race rules, such a situation does not constitute a front-running violation.
Therefore, in general, Wu Yanni's claim that she was interfered with by Yaraj to commit the violation is not supported by factual evidence. Even if there is indeed a subtle movement in Araj's right leg, the strength of this movement is by no means enough to affect Wu Yanni's action of starting with force.
After all, in such a tense and exciting competitive environment, even a trivial action may be infinitely amplified by athletes, which will affect their concentration and psychological state.
Sadly, however, even so, from the professional point of view of professional athletes, Wu's explanation still seems too direct and slightly naïve to be convincing.
Because as a dedicated competitor, she should have been able to concentrate on the signal of the starting pistol in the referee's hand, rather than being distracted by the noise around her.
What's more, Lin Yuwei, a Chinese teammate who competed with Wu Yanni, showed great composure and calmness, and was not disturbed by the outside world at all.
The reason why the public has a negative opinion of Wu Yanni is far more than her front-running behavior on the field. More criticism pointed at her in the aftermath of the incident.
First of all, although Wu Yanni had accepted the referee's punishment decision, she still insisted on appealing, claiming that she was interfered with by others and caused the violation. This vexatious, self-centered attitude has undoubtedly exacerbated public antipathy towards it.
What's more, after winning the runner-up in the second round, Wu Yanni excitedly draped the national flag to celebrate before the champion Lin Yuwei. In the eyes of the audience, this move seemed too smug and ostentatious, and it was a far cry from the modest posture of an athlete who has not yet decided on the final position.
In addition, after an in-depth investigation, it was found that in just half a year, Wu Yanni had three rush violations. In an interview with the media, she also admitted that the starting stage has always been her weakness, but she has not been able to put enough energy into improving it.
For the majority of Chinese people, Wu Yanni's defeat was not simply due to her rushing behavior on the field, but also due to her performance after the race, attitude towards the game and many other factors.
She lacks a focus on her individual achievements, a lack of respect for other competitors, and in some cases has even forgotten her original purpose and mission as a professional athlete.
However, we do not deny Wu Yanni's strength. Being able to represent her country at the Asian Games and finishing runners-up in the second round is a testament to her exceptional athletic talent.
However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of mental endurance and calm stability that she showed during the competition! What needs to be changed in particular is the arrogant posture of being overly complacent and not taking others seriously!
