On July 28, at the swimming field of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Yu Yiting, a 16-year-old girl from Zhejiang, won the fifth place with a time of 2:09.57 in the women's 200-meter individual medley final, swimming a personal best.
This is the first time that Yu Yiting has participated in an important international competition, and her performance is remarkable. In the final, she swam first in the first 100 meters, and the breaststroke also swam well, but she lacked stamina in the final sprint stage, but still played at her best level. Although she failed to stand on the Olympic podium this time, Yu Yiting did not look depressed, she said: "I have played at the best level, and the more I am in shape, the more I am in shape." ”
When asked by reporters how many points she would rate her performance today, Yu Yiting said: "99 points." There is also a point to leave room for yourself to improve. She said she had a good attitude towards this Olympic trip, which was a process of growth.
Born in Changshan County, Quzhou, Yu Yiting came to Zhenhai, Ningbo with her parents who went out to work hard in her childhood. At the age of 6, Yu Yiting was photographed by Wang Bowei, a teacher at Zhenhai District Central School. In September 2012, Yu Yiting entered the school and participated in the training of the swimming team, and performed well in various swimming competitions. After entering the Zhejiang provincial team in 2015, he studied under coach Wang Haibo. In Wang Haibo's view, Yu Yiting has good physical fitness, great strength, strong self-control, clear mind, and self-conscious and hard training, and is a "child who does not have to worry." "Today Yiting has achieved her best results, congratulations to her." After the game, Wang Bowei said that he expected her next game to be better, and the little girl could look forward to the future.
It is reported that at the Tokyo Olympics, Yu Yiting will also participate in the women's 4×100-meter medley relay. She said: "I will do my best to swim my own stick and win glory for the country." ”
