For the individual track events of the Olympic Games, we can also have one more expectation. Tomorrow night, Wang Chunyu will play in the women's 800m final, the first time a Chinese athlete has qualified for the final of the Olympic event.
Race out surprises
There were two laps in the 800 meters, and in the previous semi-finals, Wang Chunyu, who wore a big red bow, began to lead the way as soon as the gun sounded. In the last lap, the American and Cuban players began to overtake from the outside, but Wang Chunyu accelerated again, and when he entered the final straight, he was still grabbing the leading position. In the end, she crossed the finish line for the second time. At 1:59:14, she set a new record of her best.

After the race, carrying a pair of running shoes to the mixed picking area, Wang Chunyu was particularly excited. This time out of Tokyo, Wang Chunyu's goal is to rush to the final, and now, she has successfully completed her goal, and the next final, just enjoy it.
"In the preliminaries, I ran in the 2 lanes, which was a loss, and two laps was equivalent to running more than ten meters." In the semi-finals, Wang Chunyu adjusted her tactics, and the coach asked her to grab 1 lane to reduce collisions, "He was particularly confident and told me: You can outperform any of them." As a result, the Chinese girl not only ran ahead, but also ran out of surprise.

Before Wang Chunyu, Chinese athletes had never reached the final of the women's 800 meters at the Olympic Games. This project has always been the territory of European, American and African players, but the record is broken. Wang Chunyu said: "I am reminded of the words of Brother Xiang (Liu Xiang): Who said that Chinese cannot enter the top eight of the Olympic Games?!" ”
Change your look
In front of the sweaty forehead, Wang Chunyu wore a blonde hair band, which was particularly eye-catching. Ask her if she has a design? The girl smiled: "I wore a bow headband in the preliminaries, so I thought about adding another shape to the semi-finals, so that the photos would be different." ”
Seeing everyone laughing, Wang Chunyu continued to explain: "I will try to set a small goal for myself, in fact, when I compete in China, I think, if I run well, I will buy myself a bag." But I also felt that I had a bigger goal, so I never bought it. ”

Wang Chunyu also specially thanked coach Huntington for his help, "In this venue, if you don't have speed, you can't win the opponent, but the coach thinks I can." She revealed that July 29 is the coach's birthday, and she would like to give him a birthday gift, and running into the final is a sweeter taste than cake.
Teammates also cheered for Wang Chunyu. There are only two laps in the 800 meters, four corners to run, and the tactical requirements are very physical, but everyone says that she has this strength. "After the preliminaries, they said, you run 2 lanes to make way for the opponent." Wang Chunyu laughed again, "So I don't let them go anymore." ”
What new looks will there be on the track of the final? The girl raised her hand and said, "Go get your nails down." I saw that there were nail art artists in the Olympic Village. (Xinmin Evening News special correspondent Jin Lei Tokyo Today)
