News on December 29th, Beijing time, 2022 is coming to an end, and the World Athletics Federation will conduct a review of this year’s athletics. In the throwing events, the Chinese team performed well this year. At the World Championships in Oregon, Feng Bin successfully won the women's discus competition. Veteran Gong Lijiao finished second in the women's shot put. The Chinese team is still quite competitive in the women's javelin event, which makes people look forward to the Chinese team's performance in 2023.
The women's shot put is at a very high level. This year is the first time since 1991 that as many as five players have achieved this year's best score of more than 20 meters. Ellie of the United States won the championship this year at the U.S. Championships with a world-best time of 20.51 meters. This was one of her 10 times breaking 20 meters in outdoor competitions. The 28-year-old Yili also performed well in the indoor arena, tying the North American record with a time of 20.21 meters. She finished second at the World Indoor Championships behind Portugal's Donmo, which was her last defeat this year. She then won three championships in the Diamond League and also won the finals. There are also national championships and world championships. She won the championship in Oregon with a time of 20.49 meters.
China's defending champion Gong Lijiao won the silver medal with a score of 20.39 meters, which is her personal best this year. Gong Lijiao has only participated in two competitions this year and has broken 20 meters 12 times in her career. The 33-year-old veteran reached 20 meters for the first time in 2009. She still maintains a very high level.
Another Chinese athlete Song Jiayuan 's best result this year was ranked third behind Gong Lijiao. In June, she threw 20.38 meters in Shanghai, followed by Canada's Mitton, who broke the Canadian national record with 20.33 meters. Both of them only opened the 20-meter mark for the first time this year.
In this year’s outdoor season, a total of 14 athletes broke through 19 meters, which is the most since 15 in 2012. It is foreseeable that the competition in the women’s shot put competition will become more intense in the next few years.
In the women's discus event, American Allman ranked first on the list for the third consecutive year. The Olympic champion led other players by nearly 2 meters. In April, she threw a North American record of 71.46 meters. This is the best result in women's discus in almost 30 years, ranking Orman 15th on the all-time list. However, the 27-year-old American female athlete's dream of winning the world championship on her home soil did not come true. China's Feng Bin shined in Oregon, throwing 69.12 meters, which suddenly improved her personal best by more than 3 meters. This performance appeared in the first round of the final. In the third round, her 66.89 meters also exceeded her previous personal best, and she eventually won the championship. Croatian veteran Pekovic won the runner-up with 68.45 meters, and Oman won the bronze medal with 68.30 meters.
After winning the championship, Feng Bin admitted that she did not expect this result. She originally only hoped to have a more stable performance. Pekovic, who won the silver medal, became the first athlete to win five medals in the women's discus event at the World Championships. With his outstanding performance in the World Championships, Feng Bin will bring more impact to Oman in the future.
In the women's javelin event, Wenger of the United States threw a world-best result of 68.11 meters this year, but the World Championship champion was Australia's Babel, who won the championship with a throw of 66.91 meters. China's Liu Shiying threw 63.86 meters in Eugene , which ranked her 11th this year. At the World Championships, Liu Shiying was surpassed by her opponents in the final round and ended up in fourth place, missing out on a medal. Although she missed the medal, it will become a source of motivation for Liu Shiying. She will definitely work harder in 2023 and strive for better results.
The men's shot put is dominated by American players. Crowther won the world championship with 22.94 meters, but Kovacs 9's throw of 23.23 meters in September was the best result in the world this year. The competition between the two will continue in the future. In the men's discus, Swedish veteran Stahl has this year's best result of 71.47 meters. The world championship champion is Slovenia's Petr Cech. He threw 71.13 meters to create a new tournament record. Grenada 's Peters won the championship at the World Championships. He is also the owner of the world's best result this year, with a score of 93.07 meters. In men's hammer throw , the Polish team has a clear advantage.
