On March 29, in the women's 60-meter hurdles final of the 2024 National Indoor Track and Field Championships held in Tianjin, Sichuan player Wu Yanni once again set a new personal best time of 8.06 seconds and won the championship. After the game, Wu Yanni talked about the topic of Internet celebrities, "I can't accept it at all when people call me Internet celebrities. I am an athlete. If you have to give me a title, it would be a powerful female hurdler. Because this is what I achieved through hard work.” (According to Guangzhou Daily on March 31)
Wu Yanni suddenly became popular at the National Track and Field Championships held in Shenyang in June last year. Last August, in the women's 100-meter hurdles final of the Chengdu Universiade, Wu Yanni won the silver medal with a time of 12.76 seconds, setting a personal best and winning a ticket to the Paris Olympics. In the 100-meter hurdles race at the Hangzhou Asian Games on October 1, Wu Yanni was disqualified due to a false start.

In the past 2023, Wu Yanni was a topical figure. She had her moments of glory and disappointment. According to reports, Wu Yanni still doesn’t know the reason for her sudden “out of the circle”. After all, she has become one of the top domestic women’s sprinters since the 2017 National Games, and this is not the first time she has won a gold medal in the competition.
Wu Yanni suddenly became popular. Her signature moves on the field, her distinctive personality, and her daily records on her personal account may all be elements that attracted attention.
Wu Yanni has had various discussions after she became popular. This is normal. The discussion itself is also a kind of expectation. I hope she can devote more energy to training and competitions, have a brilliant performance on the field, and give everyone Bring more surprises. After all, strength speaks for itself in the arena. If Wu Yanni's strength is worthy of her popularity, those doubtful voices will naturally disappear.

Wu Yanni said: "I am an athlete, and I practice the 100-meter hurdles to let people know that there is not only the men's 110-meter hurdles, but also the women's 100-meter hurdles. , This is my original intention. The goal of every athlete is to participate in the Olympics. I used my hard power to achieve the goal and meet the standards to participate in the Olympics."
What Wu Yanni said should be that the outside world should pay more attention to the sport itself. Wu Yanni is a capable female hurdler, and she achieved it through hard work. I believe no one can deny this, and it can also be seen by the outside world.
Wu Yanni personally does not want to be an Internet celebrity, and she becomes popular because of people's attention on the Internet. These are two different things. She became popular because of her own traffic, which attracted the attention of the outside world to the women's 100-meter hurdles. This is not a bad thing. After all, China's track and field has had shining moments in the international arena, and its breakthroughs in some events in recent years are also gratifying. Liu Xiang and Su Bingtian have made people excited. The popularity of Wu Yanni and Xia Sining has made people look forward to the women's 100-meter hurdles. , this kind of popularity can attract more attention from the outside world to sports projects. If it can promote more young people to join sports, and thus more sports reserve talents can emerge, such popularity is also meaningful.

From the World Indoor Track and Field Championships in early March to the National Indoor Track and Field Championships, Wu Yanni set her personal best in the indoor women's 60-meter hurdles four times in one month. The results are proof that she has been working hard.
In the preliminaries of the women's 60-meter hurdles at the 2024 World Indoor Track and Field Championships held in Glasgow, England, on March 3, Wu Yanni failed to advance to the semi-finals of the women's 60-meter hurdles. Wu Yanni was not satisfied with this result. She also believed that it was the first time she competed with so many European and American players on the same stage, and she saw the gap between herself and the world's masters. "There is no time to regret, I can't wait to go back to training!"
From Wu Yanni's statement, we can see her ambition as an athlete. Since March this year, Wu Yanni has run 8.12 seconds, 8.11 seconds, 8.10 seconds, and 8.06 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles, breaking her personal best four times in a month. One step at a time, we are improving every time.
Wu Yanni's mother also said that after experiencing some public opinion turmoil in the early stage, Wu Yanni has grown a lot and her mentality is more stable.
improves step by step through hard training, challenging himself and breaking through again and again. Wu Yanni like this is of course very pleasing to the eye, but what does it matter even if she has the status of an "Internet celebrity"? If given time, Wu Yanni can achieve a historic breakthrough in track and field like Liu Xiang and Su Bingtian, people will like such "Internet celebrities" even more, because the fighting spirit can infect people.
Therefore, Wu Yanni does not need to care about the label of "Internet celebrity". If she has more strength at her feet and can become more famous, there is nothing wrong with her.
