Ge Manqi 100 meters gold dedicated to "half a father"

On September 20, the 14th Shaanxi National Games Athletics Competition decided the women's 100 meters gold medal. Ge Manqi, who represented Fujian, ran 11.22 seconds to win his first National Games gold medal. "I want to dedicate this gold medal to my coach," Gwen said after the game, "and he stayed with me for ten years, like half of my father." ”

The women's 100 meters of the National Games have two rounds of competition, and since there is no semi-final, the preliminary round directly produces eight final places. The National Games attracted Chinese flyers who had just participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games, leaving the National Games competition in a stalemate.

At the 2017 Tianjin National Games, Guangxi flyer Wei Yongli overwhelmed many flyers to win the gold medal. In the 2021 season, Ge Manqi became the best flyer in the Chinese women's 100 meters and 200 meters. This season, Ge Manqi won the top six domestic bests, between 11.15.15.1.12.26.1.11.1. At the Tokyo Olympics, Ge Manqi ran 11.20 seconds and 11.22 seconds with two shots, becoming the first athlete in the history of Chinese athletics to qualify for the Olympic women's 100-meter semifinals.

At this National Games, Liang Xiaojing, who ran 11.29 seconds this year, is a competitor of Ge Manqi. Defending National Games champion and Guangxi star Wei Yongli had a preliminary time of 11.62 seconds.

In the final, Ge Manqi's starting reaction time was not the first, and Liang Xiaojing took the lead in the first thirty meters with excellent starting and articulation movements. However, Ge Manqi then exerted his ability to accelerate halfway, and he was already riding at the last thirty meters. In the end, Ge Manqi won his first National Games gold medal in 11.22 seconds.

Before the National Games, Ge Manqi had revealed that they had entered quarantine after participating in the Tokyo Olympics, and their preparation was not particularly adequate. The coach of Ge Manqi was affected by the epidemic and could not come with the team, which also stimulated her fighting spirit, hoping to thank her coach with a gold medal. "The coach didn't come, the impact will definitely be a little bit, but I believe it is also an important step in the growth process, I will actively adjust myself, keep every word the coach and I have said in mind, and prepare well." I didn't win the National Games four years ago, and we've been working for that title ever since. My coach has been with me for ten years, half of my father, and I'm going to win this gold medal for my coach. ”
