Wei Yongli crossed the finish line for the third time, with a score of 23 seconds 27.
Xinhua News Agency, Jakarta, August 29 (reporter Yang Ting, Lu Xianting, Yi Ling) on the evening of 29th, the women’s 200-meter run of Jakarta Asian Games shot, wei Yongli, a Chinese “female flying man” who missed the gold medal in the previous 100-meter competition, rushed out of the starting line again.
Wei Yongli set out on the Fourth Road, adjacent to the fifth defending champion Kazakhstan player Safronova and the Bahrain player Audi who won the women’s 100 m championship on the 26th. Wei Yongli set off well. After entering 100 meters, she kept in the top three all the time, but Audi en passed the finish line for the first time with excellent later and sprint ability, with a score of 22,96 seconds. The 100-meter silver medal winner and Indian player duti-Changde won the second with a score of 23 seconds 20. Wei Yongli crossed the finish line for the third time, with a score of 23 seconds 27. Another Chinese player Kong Lingwei won the sixth place with a score of 23 seconds 51.
For failing to defend the 100 m champion and picking another copper in the 200 m, Wei Yongli said bluntly after the game: “Although I am not satisfied, it is acceptable. After all, the 6th shot, I still rushed for a while. Although it was a little worse than expected, I tried my best.”
Wei Yongli is the winner of 100-meter gold medal and 200-meter silver medal in Incheon Asian Games. This season, she is in a state of courage. She ran 10 seconds 99 at 100 meters in the Swiss track and field Grand Prix in July, creating the best result of Asian women’s 100 meters in the past 20 years; 200 meters also showed the personal best score of 22 seconds 97 in the Madrid Challenge in June.
The outside world has high hopes for Wei Yongli to pick two gold coins in this Asian Games. However, the 21-year-old Barin player Audi was born and the stable performance of Indian famous duti-Changde made Wei Yongli backfire. In this regard, Wei Yongli calmly said that the reason for the defeat was not only the strong opponent, but also the fact that his technology and state had not been consolidated. “In fact, I didn’t expect that this year’s performance can be improved so much, which is not very consolidated in technology and has not been fully accepted in all aspects, so it is easy to be influenced by others.”
However, the 27-year-old Chinese women’s sprint leader still maintains stability and confidence in mentality: “I think I am more mature than four years ago, I have a better grasp of technology and rhythm. I am also confident to reach a satisfactory state for the following competitions and trainings. I will discuss with the coach the training methods and plans suitable for me to make me stronger psychologically. ‘Su Shen’ (Su Bingtian) is my model! I have really learned a lot from training with him in recent years.”
When she mentioned the next relay race, she seemed confident: “We can do ourselves well. I think our cooperation in recent years is quite tacit, and we have 100% confidence in my sisters! I believe we can create a good result.” That night, the women’s team led by Liang Xiaojing successfully advanced in 43 seconds 66 in the 4x 100 relay.
