Wu Yanni was drawn into the death group in the preliminary round, and the best results of the season must be at the bottom of the Paris Olympic champion

On September 13, the official website of the World Athletics Federation announced the grouping of the women's 100-meter hurdles on the morning of the 14th. The only Chinese player Wu Yanni was drawn into the death group. Wu Yanni's first preliminaries were Russell of the United States, the champion of the Paris Olympics in the event last year. Moreover, Wu Yanni's best result this season is the bottom of the group ranking of 12.96 seconds. This preliminaries are a life-and-death battle for Wu Yanni, who has been on the World Championships for the first time.

At this year's Tokyo World Championships, a total of 49 people participated in the women's 100-meter hurdles and the World Athletics Federation's special wild card. Wu Yanni ranked 41st among the contestants this season's best score of 12.96 seconds. In other words, among the contestants, there are at least 8 opponents who are not as strong as Wu Yanni. The World Championships preliminaries are divided into 6 groups, with the top three in each group and the other 6 best results advancing to the semi-finals. Logically speaking, the draw of the World Athletics Federation is definitely not fair, and the "poor students" are not evenly distributed to each group.

But no matter what, if Wu Yanni wants to not be at the bottom of the group, she can only do her best to achieve her best.

Wu Yanni was drawn to the 9th lane of the first group, her opponent was specifically -

lane 3 Cartwright Bahamas 25 years old PB 12 seconds 60 SB 12 seconds 93

lane 4 Foster Slovakia 23 years old PB 12 seconds 63 SB 12 seconds 63

lane 5 Russell United States 25 years old PB 12 seconds 17 SB 12 seconds 17

lane 6 Kozak Hungary 29 years old PB 12 seconds 69 SB 12 seconds 75

lane 7 Forier South Africa 23 years old PB 12 seconds 49 SB 12 seconds 60

lane 8 Levin Ireland 31 years old PB 12 seconds 62 SB 12 seconds 76

Law 9 Wu Yanni China 28 years old PB 12 seconds 74 SB 12 seconds 96

The American Olympic champion Russell in the United States is definitely the only existence. Then Foster in Slovakia, Kozak in Hungary, and Forier in South Africa are all strong contenders in the top three in the group.

If Wu Yanni wants to not be at the bottom of the group, she needs to show off her strength of about 12.80 seconds to see if she can defeat the opponent in the duel with Irish veteran Levin and Cartwright of the Bahamas. This group has strong overall strength, but what Wu Yanni needs to do is to run her own rhythm and run to her own level.

We want to cheer for Wu Yanni together. She is the only Chinese player to stand in the women's 100-meter hurdles in the World Championships. In the past, her opponents' strength was beyond 13 seconds. Now in the World Championships preliminaries, the strength of the opponents in the same group is within 13 seconds. Her best result this year is 12.96 seconds at the bottom. I hope Wu Yanni can challenge herself without fear of strong players and show her fighting spirit.
