Lin Yuwei: There is no upper limit to the future
Standing at the starting point of the women's 100m hurdles final, Lin Yuwei from Fuzhou and Wu Yanni from Sichuan are in a state of resignation.
"The final is still to see the two of them." In the view of Liu Zhaoxu, the coach of the provincial athletics team, this contest is five or five.
The final gun sounded, whether it was starting, attacking the hurdles or rushing the line, Lin Yuwei and Wu Yanni, who were in the adjacent two lanes, were inseparable. In the end, Lin Yuwei opened the 13-second mark again and laughed at the end with a score of 12.88 seconds. She was only 0.03 seconds faster than Wu Yanni.
For the performance of the final, Lin Yuwei admitted that there is still a little flaw, "The mentality is no problem, the muscles are a little reactive." But the result is the most important." Before coming to Xi'an, Lin Yuwei's biggest goal was "just to play the level of training."
As the two most competitive players in the domestic project, this is their second positive dialogue at the National Games.
In the preliminary round on the 21st, Lin Yuwei also defeated Wu Yanni, running a time of 12.85 seconds to win the first place in the group and the first place in the preliminary round, improving the personal best by 0.14 seconds, which was only 0.01 seconds away from the Eugene World Championship participation standard.
For the performance of the disciples, Liu Zhaoxu was not surprised, "the pre-competition training predicted to have this level."
On some level, the frontal dialogue between Lin Yuwei and Wu Yanni also proves once again that only a strong opponent can force a strong enough result. Lin Yuwei said: "The opponent's strength is really very strong, and the two of us are now promoting each other on the field. ”
Liu Zhaoxu said: "A few years ago, Wu Yanni was indeed a little stronger than Lin Yuwei. We always treated her as an opponent and tried to surpass her, and finally we achieved this goal at the National Games. ”
Coincidentally, Lin Yuwei's victory is exactly the same as Liu Xiang's achievement in breaking the men's 110m hurdles world record in 2006. "Xiang Ge is an example for all our track and field athletes, a god-like being." She said that there is no limit in the future, only the upper limit that is constantly broken, "usually accumulate, when standing on the field, I think the result will not be too bad."

Indeed, the bits and pieces accumulated in ordinary times will always give feedback on the field. From opening the 13-second mark on May 25, to running 12.93 seconds on July 14, to setting the best time in Asia this year with 12.85 seconds at the National Games. In this year's competition, Lin Yuwei constantly refreshed her personal bests and broke through the limit.
At the 6th National Games in 1987, Liu Huajin, also from Fuzhou, ran 12.89 seconds, breaking the Asian women's 100m hurdles record held by Taiwan's famous Ji Zheng for 17 years.
At the 1990 Asian Games, 30-year-old Liu Huajin broke the Asian record in the 100-meter hurdles again in 12.73 seconds, ranking fourth in the world that year.
After 24 years, the 22-year-old Lin Yuwei once again stood at the starting point where her predecessors had set out, which is more like a inheritance and a relay. Liu Zhaoxu said: "If there is a chance, next year's World Championships will still go with the attitude of learning, and strive to enter the second shot (semi-finals). Our main goal is next year's Asian Games, we want to win the championship! ”
For the Hangzhou Asian Games, Lin Yuwei also said that the level of Japanese players is quite high, "I hope to promote each other with Wu Yanni and strive to keep the gold medal in China."

Tang Xingqiang: Strive to be yourself
In the arena, the story of reversal will always be popular.
The men's 200m final on the 22nd witnessed a classic reversal. Tang Xingqiang overtook the defending champion Xie Zhenye, who was leading the way, in the acceleration of the straight, and crossed the finish line first with a time of 20.39 seconds, becoming the first men's 200m gold medalist in the history of our province.
For the trip to the National Games, 26-year-old Tang Xingqiang said that he did not come to enjoy the game, nor was he qualified to enjoy the game, "that is, to challenge himself, do a good job, break through himself, and leave no regrets."
In the final, Xie Zhenye established an advantage with excellent cornering technology and acceleration ability, and entered the straight road to lead Tang Xingqiang by one position. But in the last 20 meters, Tang Xingqiang accelerated the gap and successfully reversed. After the game, Tang Xingqiang said that he did not expect to win the gold medal, "after all, from the perspective of personal best results, Xie Zhenye is much higher than me."
The 20.39 seconds win equaled Tang Xingqiang's personal best. At the Athletics Invitational Tournament held in Hangzhou on July 11 this year, Tang Xingqiang ran a time of 20.39 seconds. At the National Athletics Championships and Olympic Trials held on June 11, Tang Xingqiang also refreshed his personal 100-meter best in five years with a time of 10.22 seconds.
It is precisely these two games that let everyone see that the former Tang Xingqiang is back. He said: "I have never given up, from the beginning of my exposure to sports, I have always felt that I can create a better level, although there will always be some people who are not optimistic about you. ”
From the Rio Olympics with Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng running a good result of 37.82 seconds in the preliminaries and 37.90 seconds in the final and finally winning the fourth place in the 4×100m relay, to the Tokyo Olympic Games with Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Wu Zhiqiang again winning the fourth place in the final with 37.79 seconds, Tang Xingqiang's Olympic preparation cycle has always been carrying the weight forward, "just like the inspirational novel."
For the ups and downs in the sports career, Tang Xingqiang always believes that it is normal, "all the details may affect the performance of sports, especially sprinting, the gap is 0.1 seconds or even 0.01 seconds."
Next, Tang Xingqiang will also participate in the men's 4×200m and 4×100m relay events.
In the men's 4×200m relay preliminaries on the 21st, the Fujian team led by Tang Xingqiang played well, breaking the Asian record with a time of 1 minute 21.54 seconds, which was the first new Asian record born in the athletics competition of the National Games.
In the men's 4×100m relay, Tang Xingqiang and Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Wu Zhiqiang once again "combined" to impact the Asian record of 37.43 seconds held by the Japanese team.
For these two relay races, Tang Xingqiang said: "I cherish every opportunity to stand on the track, cooperate well with my teammates, and strive to do my best." [Fujian Daily reporter Xiao Rong]
