When the new world ranking is announced, does the contest between Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei indicate a new sports situation?
In this turbulent May, the track and field world once again focused on the two Asian women's short span stars - Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei. In the latest world ranking, Wu Yanni, with her outstanding performance in Xiamen and Suzhou Diamond League, raised her world ranking from 44 to 39, overtaking Lin Yuwei and becoming the fourth player in Asia.
Is it the promotion of strength or luck?
Although Wu Yanni's performance in these two Diamond Tournaments was not the top and ranked the last, she admitted that her confidence of "opening 13 seconds is easy" was not realized. This is thought-provoking. Does our scoring system give too many opportunities to improve the points of players with poor performance? Or does it just show that "participation" itself is a victory in sports competitions?
Lin Yuwei's perseverance
At the same time, Lin Yuwei's performance in the United States is also the focus. In the early morning of April 28, she won the runner up in the women's 100 meter hurdles with a time of 12.83 seconds in the East Coast Relay in Florida, USA, which not only broke the best record in Asia this season, but also highlighted her stable competitive state. This achievement was made with the help of strong winds, which showed her strong adaptability in adversity.
Persistence and expectation
On social media, the fan groups of the two players had a heated discussion. On the one hand, Wu Yanni's fans cheered her rise in the ranking, believing that it was the result of her unremitting efforts; On the other hand, Lin Yuwei's supporters emphasize her technical sophistication and stability and believe that Lin will soon surpass her again.
A higher goal lies ahead
Wu Yanni and Lin Yuwei have a clear goal for the next step - to enter the top 20 of the world rankings and directly obtain the qualification of the Diamond League, rather than relying only on wild cards. This goal is not only a challenge to individual ability, but also a test of their continuous progress and efforts.
Beyond and being surpassed, sports never end
In the world of sports, every transcendence is a challenge to our own limits, and every transcendence is the beginning of a higher goal.
