At the 2024 Kinan Michitaka Memorial Race in Japan, Chinese flyer Wu Yanni won the championship with a time of 12.86 seconds, which not only set a new personal best time in the season, but also the fastest time in Asia this season. Wu Yanni won the first championship of the outdoor season with her excellent late performance, beating Japan's first sister Mako Fukube and other Asian powerhouses. This impressive record will undoubtedly increase her confidence and make the best preparations for the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games.

Entering the finals, although Wu Yanni's starting reaction was slightly slow, she relied on her extraordinary speed and endurance to show a strong overtaking strength in the later stages, and finally suppressed Japan's first sister Mako Fukube by a slight advantage and won the championship.
The road to winning the championship was not all smooth sailing. Previously, Wu Yanni's performance in Xiamen and Suzhou of the Diamond League was indeed unsatisfactory, and the results of the bottom of two consecutive stations aroused doubts from the outside world.

Sure enough, in this heavyweight event in Japan, Wu Yanni's tenacious dedication finally paid off.
In addition to her personal season best, Wu Yanni's time of 12.86 seconds also set the fastest record for the women's 100m hurdles in China this season, and tied the Games record.

As a leading figure in China's sprint sport, Wu Yanni has always had high hopes of winning the national team in her hometown arena.
Wu Yanni's outstanding performance in the Japanese arena undoubtedly made her firmly on the throne of the first sister in Asia. Previously, she had been battling Indian flyer Araj, and the two had been inseparable in a number of events. In this competition in Japan, Wu Yanni had the upper hand, not only winning the championship, but also leaving Aragi far behind.
After the game, Araj couldn't hide his disappointment. She admitted frankly that Wu Yanni's state was unexpected, and her performance in the final was indeed a little abnormal. She said that she will learn from her lessons and go all out in future competitions to try to regain the throne of Asia's first sister.
Wu Yanni ignored Araj's "challenge book", she believes that the most important thing at the moment is to maintain a good feel and make the best preparations for the Hangzhou Asian Games. "Every fight is a new challenge for me, and I never underestimate any of my opponents. "I will continue to take every game seriously, go all out, and work hard for the national team to achieve the best results." ＂
In addition to India's Yaraj, Wu Yanni also defeated Japan's first sister Mako Fukube in this Japanese station. For this result, Mako Fukube did not show disappointment, on the contrary, she expressed her sincere appreciation for Wu Yanni's outstanding performance. "Wu Yanni's strength is indeed stronger than mine, and she deserves it. I never gave up hope of winning the title, and we will compete in more competitions in the future. ＂
Wu's victory in Japan will undoubtedly boost her confidence, but she is not complacent. After the race, she admitted that there is still a lot of room for improvement in her performance, and her starting reaction and technical movements need to be further improved. "This is just the beginning, I will continue to train hard and achieve better results for the national team at the Hangzhou Asian Games. ＂
For Wu Yanni, the Hangzhou Asian Games are of great significance. As a hometown arena, she naturally hopes to do great things here. The Asian Games will be an important stop in her preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. If she can win in Hangzhou, it will give her confidence and prepare for the Olympics.
The road to victory was anything but easy. In addition to traditional powerhouses such as Arraghi and Mako Fukube, many rookies have also emerged in recent years, and their strength should not be underestimated. Wu Yanni said that she will continue to attach importance to every opponent and will never take it lightly. "Every fight is a new challenge for me and I will give it my all, but the result will depend on the competition. ＂
With her outstanding strength and tenacious perseverance, Wu Yanni has become a leading figure in China's sprinting events. Her goal is to win the national team at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, for which she is fully prepared; In the longer term, she also hopes to achieve another great result for Chinese sprinting at the Olympic Games.
