Dysfunction
In the early morning of July 8, the World Athletics Federation Continental Tour Gold Label Event Hengaro kicked off, however, Lin Yuwei, the hopeful star of Chinese women's track and field, failed to continue her past glory in the women's 100m hurdles preliminaries. From the start of the match, she showed signs of poor form. Despite preparing for the Paris Olympics, she did not perform as well as she could have done so, finishing bottom of the group with a time of 13.47 seconds and failing to reach the final.
Comparison of records
This competition is reminiscent of the world record in this event. Amusan set a world record of 12.12 seconds in Eugene in 2022, while the Asian record was set by Kazakhstan's Shikhkina in 1995 with a time of 12.46 seconds. China's national record was 12.64 seconds set by Zhang Yu in 1993. These records are all impressive, and Lin Yuwei's results are far from them, showing that she does have problems in this competition.
Preliminaries recap
In the preliminaries, Lin Yuwei was divided into Group 2 and started in lane 8. She started with a reaction time of 0.158 seconds, the slowest of all nine. After the first two hurdles, Lin Yuwei was still in the 8th position. Starting from the third hurdle, Lin Yuwei's speed improved, and once rose to 6th place. However, she lost her speed in the second half of the race and was already in last place on the eighth hurdle. In the sprint, she failed to improve her position again and finished last in the group with a time of 13.47 seconds.
Performance analysis
Based on the results of 18 players in the two groups, Lin Yuwei missed the final with a total ranking of 15th. This result was far from what she had hoped for, and it was in stark contrast to her previous results. Analyzing the course of the race, it can be seen that there were obvious problems in the start and the second half of the race, which led to an unsatisfactory overall result.
Prepare for the influence of Paris
The loss in this competition may have a certain impact on Lin Yuwei's confidence in preparing for the Paris Olympics. Although she performed well in her usual training, this competition exposed her impromptu performance and mental quality problems in the competition. This is also a wake-up call for the coaching team, how to adjust her form in the coming time and improve her game performance is an urgent problem to be solved.
Future outlook
Despite the unsatisfactory performance in Hengaro, Lin Yuwei is still a rising star in the Chinese track and field team. There is no doubt about her potential and strength, but the key is how to adjust her mentality and overcome her shortcomings in the game. I believe that under the guidance of the coaching team, she will be able to find the crux of the problem and regain her confidence and achieve better results in future competitions.
controversy
However, Lin Yuwei's defeat this time has also raised many questions from the outside world: is it a problem with her personal state, or is it the inadequacy of the entire training system? Should her preparation plan be reassessed? These questions are not only about Lin Yuwei's future, but also about the overall performance of the Chinese track and field team on the international stage. In the run-up to the Paris Olympics, these issues undoubtedly need to be addressed as soon as possible.
