Wang Chunyu in the game.
In the women's 800m semi-finals that just took place, China's Wang Chunyu ran 1:59.14 to advance to the final with the second place in the group!
This is also the first time that a Chinese athlete has stepped on the women's 800m final track!
After the game, Wang Chunyu said, "Entering the final, even if I walk down, I am still the 8th in the Olympic Games!" A lot of people think I can't, I have no hope. I want to prove that I can, chinese middle and long distance running is OK! ”
"I'm very excited, although the goal is to reach the final when I come, it's actually very difficult and the pressure is very high. Although there is no change of coach, it is also the plan to use (foreign teacher) Randy. I wanted to prove myself and I wanted to prove that Randy was right. ”
"It's not like a lot of Chinese coaches think it's incredible why Randy would take a woman eight hundred meters. Just ten months is enough to prove Randy's strength. ”
"A lot of people have a misconception about our project, they don't value speed, but without speed you can't win anyone. In terms of 400m and short distances, Randy helped me improve a lot. Tonight he was super confident, he felt that I had no problem at all, and he was particularly confident that the final sprint at my pace could win anyone. ”
"The 29th is his birthday, so I want to give this result to Randy as a birthday present."
