In her first race since the Paris Olympics, Wu Yanni won the title in 13.05 seconds very easily, and she dominated the domestic competition this year, winning the women's 60m hurdles at the National Indoor Championships, the women's 100m hurdles at the National Athletics Championships and the women's 100m hurdles at the National Athletics Championships.
Wu Yanni was very excited to say on social media: "Winning the national championships, for the first time in my career, I won the championship of the National Indoor Championships + Championships + Championships in the same year, the annual Grand Slam. Last year, I missed the championship because of the competition task of the Universiade, and this year I finally made up for it. I am honored to have Nan Confucius present an award to me and feel the temperature of culture. Quzhou is polite, Xiao Nizi is also polite, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, peace and happiness, and a long time to spend a good moon! ”
Wu Yanni in 2024 failed to break through the group stage at the Paris Olympics, leaving a regret. However, she has also made breakthroughs, setting personal bests in both indoor and outdoor competitions, as well as winning all three domestic hurdles titles. These all show that Wu Yanni is already the first sister of China's active women's hurdles.
After winning the championship, Wu Yanni showed her pretty and sweet side. She wore her trademark multiple pigtails in the finals, wore hairpins, and covered her arms and wrists with duct tape.
Wu Yanni is one of the biggest athletes in the National Athletics Championships, and the final is scheduled to be held at the end. After winning the championship, Wu Yanni frequently interacted with the audience, which led to bursts of cheers. Wu Yanni's influence was on display.
In this competition, Wu Yanni failed to break through 13 seconds and left a regret, and there was a relatively large gap compared with her personal best time of 12.74 seconds. Wu Yanni's body was not in the best condition, and she had duct tape on her thighs. Over the years, she has had a lot of injuries in training and competitions.
Hurdlers tend to have more injuries, and the same is true for Xia Sining and Lin Yuwei. Wu Yanni's idol Liu Xiang was also plagued by injuries back then, and his peak period was relatively short.
Wu Yanni is 27 years old, and it is still unknown whether she will be able to make it until the 2024 Los Angeles Olympics. Besides, she needs to meet the criteria to qualify for the Olympics, so she will have to maintain her excellent form even if she competes until 2024.
Wu Yanni's new goal should be to try to break 12.70 seconds in the future, because Mako Fukube has already broken 12.70 seconds, running the best time in Asian women's hurdles this year with 12.69 seconds. Wu Yanni is the current Chinese hurdle sister, and she needs to fight to reclaim the Asian first sister throne.
