On May 19 local time, the story of Wu Yanni, a Chinese female hurdler, appeared in the British Daily Star.
"The charming hurdler showed her abs and hit back at those critics who called her eye-catching". The newspaper gave such a title, and explained in the attachment that "Wu Yanni was strongly opposed to wearing jewelry, heavy makeup, and excessive tights in a recent track and field competition, but she used her own training to fight back."
The British newspaper attached a picture of Wu Yanni during her training in the report, which showed her iron belly just right, and the waistcoat line was clearly visible. The whole process of the movement is that Wu Yanni kneels on the yoga mat, the trainer presses her ankle, she stretches her upper body, hovers above the mat for a few seconds, then stands up again and repeats.
"I just made five, how many can you do? Come and challenge me!" The photo was posted by Wu Yanni on her social media account, and was accompanied by such words.
It is said that this is a difficult movement, which requires a strong core force to complete.
From another distributed photo, Wu Yanni is struggling to lift the barbell, which is enough to show that her daily physical training is full of hardships.
The Daily Star called Wu Yanni "China's top hurdler". Of course, such a statement is controversial on our social media. After all, her performance is not very stable.
For example, in the 100 meter hurdles competition of the World Track and Field Diamond League held in Xiamen last month, her ranking came to the bottom, which disappointed her fans, and further made those who were not used to her increase their criticism. "She doesn't care about her performance, only likes to wear sexy clothes. Her performance is very poor, only good at using other things to attract attention," someone criticized her so.
After that, Wu Yanni won the championship of the Tokyo Seiko Grand Prix in 12.80 seconds, again setting a new record for the best performance in Asia this year. She still needs to hear some voices of doubt.
Wu Yanni has also responded to the voices of questioning that have been heard all the time. She said, "Before, athletes used to participate in competitions with naked faces, but now it is the 21st century. We have the right to look beautiful, and you can't deprive me of my right." "No matter what the result is, I am always ready to show my best in every competition. I do this out of respect for the audience, my fans, all participants and the sport itself. It strengthens my confidence and inspires me. "
Wu Yanni has already qualified for the Paris Olympic Games. I don't know what kind of surprise she will bring to fans in the global fashion city.
Wu Yanni's performance is easily reminiscent of German female track and field athlete Alica Schmidt, known as the "sexiest athlete in the world".
Although Schmidt, now 25 years old, did not stick sequins on her face like Wu Yanni, it was obvious that she did not participate in the competition completely without makeup, but also left the most beautiful side on the court.
Schmidt was also qualified to participate in the Paris Olympic Games, but he was not an individual event, but a member of the 4x400m hybrid relay team. It can be seen that Schmidt's achievements are not so outstanding, but she is still persisting.
