Beijing time, July 15th: The World Track and Field Championships, which has been postponed for one year tomorrow morning, Beijing time, will start in Eugene in Oregon, USA. This is the first major international event in which the main lineup of the Chinese track and field team has participated after the Tokyo Olympics. The Chinese track and field team achieved outstanding results in the last World Championships and Tokyo Olympics. Let's look forward to what kind of results the Chinese team will have in this World Championship and the performance of internationally renowned athletes. The main gold medals for the Chinese team are still looking forward to the women's race walking and women's throwing events. Su Bingtian , who ran 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics last year, competed with injuries. It is difficult to judge what results he will have.
According to the schedule, the first match day will start at 4:10 am on the 16th, Beijing time. The first event is the women's 20 km race walk. The Chinese team sent Olympic champion Liu Hong, Qieyang Shijie and Wu Quanming played. The Chinese team has won gold medals in this event in the past few World Championships, especially the last Doha World Championships where the Chinese team won the gold, silver and bronze medals in this event. Last year, the Chinese race walking team at the Tokyo Olympics performed poorly despite being promising, and only Liu Hong won a bronze medal in the women's 20-kilometer race walk. In addition, the Chinese team in the 35-kilometer race walking event, which has become an official event of the World Championships for the first time, also has a strong potential to compete for the gold medal. As for the two men's race walking events, the Chinese team will be more realistic in competing for medals, and it may be a surprise if they win the gold medal.
The Chinese track and field team won two gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics last year, all from the women's throwing event. On the first competition day, the Chinese women's shot put team led by Gong Lijiao will compete in the women's shot put qualifying round. Gong Lijiao, Song Jiayuan and Zhang Linru will participate. I believe they can all advance smoothly to Beijing time if they perform normally. The final was held on the morning of the 17th. Gong Lijiao has won the gold medal in this event in the past two World Championships. She also won the Olympic gold medal in the Olympic Games last year with a record of PB. This time she went to Eugene to participate in the competition. This is the first time Gong Lijiao has participated in a large competition after the National Games last year. She has already Having recovered 90% of her abilities, Song Jiayuan, who finished fifth in last year's Olympic Games, has also thrown over 20 meters many times this year. Both of them have a chance to win the gold medal. However, this year's shot put event has many people around the world throwing more than 20 meters. I believe the competition in the finals will be extremely fierce.
Another event that won gold medals was the women's javelin throw. Liu Shiying made history by locking the championship in the first throw of last year's Olympic final. In this year's World Championships, she and Lu Huihui competed hand in hand. Starting from the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, the Chinese team won the silver medal in this event for three consecutive times after being defeated by the last shot. The goal of the two of them in this World Championship is still to hit the gold medal. The Chinese team won a gold medal in the javelin at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo by Xu Demei. Liu Shiying and Lu Huihui have not participated in international competitions this year, and their status is unknown. What kind of performance they can have in the World Championships still depends on their on-the-spot performance.
Of course, the one who gets the most attention in Chinese track and field is Su Bingtian, who ran 9.83 seconds in the men's 100-meter semifinals of last year's Tokyo Olympics, which greatly improved the Asian record. Su Bingtian did not participate in a formal competition after the National Games last year, and all the competitions he originally planned to participate in were canceled due to the epidemic and other reasons. It is difficult for Su Bingtian to directly parachute into the World Championships. When interviewed by a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, Su Bingtian also said that he would try his best to show his existing strength and strive for the best results. It is worth mentioning that Hayward Stadium in Eugene, where this World Championships is held, is Su Bingtian’s blessed place. It was here that he ran 9.99 seconds in the 2015 Diamond League and broke 10 seconds for the first time to become the first. A yellow man who opened the ten-second mark. Su Bingtian participated in gun training at the main arena early this morning Beijing time. In addition to the men's 100 meters, Su Bingtian will also participate in the 4x100 meters relay. He won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics. The Chinese relay team still wants to hit the podium at this year's World Championships. We wish them good luck.In the men's sprint event Xie Zhenye will compete in the men's 200 meters . Whether Xie Zhenye can perform at his best will determine his results in this competition.
In addition, the Chinese team has a chance to reach the podium in the men's triple jump event, but its opponents are also very strong. However, the Chinese team also has some regrets. Wang Chunyu, who finished fifth in the women's 800 meters last year, will miss this year's World Championships due to personal reasons. Heptathlon athlete Zheng Nina Li will also withdraw from the competition for this year's World Championships due to physical reasons. The Chinese team's Li Ling and Xu Huiqin lead the women's pole vault and look forward to breaking through their own results. In addition, we are also eager to perform well in the men's and women's marathon, women's discus, men's long jump, women's 3000-meter obstacle course and other events.
In addition to Chinese players, there is still a lot to look forward to in terms of international players in this World Championships. Among them, the performance of Jamaican athlete Thompson in the women's sprint event is worth looking forward to. Her results in the 100 meters and 200 meters last year were very close to the world record set by Griffith Joyner. This high-speed race in Eugene If the weather is good along the way, everyone will have the opportunity to witness history being made. In addition, Duplantis is very dominant in the men's pole vault event. Whether he can once again refresh the human limit is also the focus of this event.
As the first World Athletics Championships to be held in even-numbered years, it will begin soon. We will continue to pay attention to bring you relevant reports about the event.
