It's tomorrow (July 30)!
Wei Yongli, a girl from Liuzhou in Guangxi, will represent the Chinese team
Tokyo Olympics Women's 100m!
In this Olympic Games, everyone will see Wei Yongli fighting for the country in the women's 100 meters and women's 4× 100 meters relay competitions. On the 100-meter track, it is very difficult for Asian athletes to impact the final, and in the team relay, the Chinese women's team is expected to reach the Olympic final again after the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games through close handover.

Wei Yongli, born in 1991, is a native of Luzhai, Liuzhou. In 2009, Wei Yongli went to Dongguan, Guangdong Province, alone to work as a foreman in a restaurant. Fortunately, she was favored by Tian Yumei, the coach of the Guangxi Athletics Team. In 2010, he entered the national team training.
Wei Yongli's good achievements over the years:
In July 2013, she won the gold medal in the women's 100 meters at the 20th Asian Athletics Championships.
In 2014, in the women's 100m race at the Incheon Asian Games in South Korea, Wei Yongli ran a good time of 11.48 seconds and won the championship, 0.01 seconds faster than Japan's Chisato Fukushima, who won the runner-up, and won the title of "Asian Sister".
In the 2014 Women's 4×100m Relay Final at the Incheon Asian Games in South Korea, China won the championship with a record of 42.83 seconds. Wei Yongli played against Chisato Fukushima in the last baton, and after taking over the baton, she rode the dust and did not give the Japanese team any chance, pulling the second place more than 10 meters to win the championship with an absolute advantage.
In 2015, she won the women's 4×100m relay at the Asian Athletics Championships, and became the first Chinese athlete to qualify for the women's 100m semi-final of the World Championships in Beijing, creating a history of Chinese athletics.
In February 2016, she won the women's 60m race at the National Indoor Athletics Championships in Nanjing with a time of 7.17 seconds, breaking the national record held by Li Xuemei.
In 2018, in the women's 100m preliminary round of the Athletics Race in Geneva, Switzerland, she ran a personal best of 10.99 seconds, which is the second time that a Chinese female athlete has broken through the 11-second mark after a gap of 20 years.
