In the women's 100-meter hurdles at the 2024 Japan Athletics Kinami Michitaka Memorial Tournament, Wu Yanni was the only athlete to represent the Chinese track and field team in this event. She competed in an away game to challenge Japan's strongest team. She was definitely number one in courage and courage. But in the eyes of many people, Wu Yanni has long been labeled as a "make-up lover". Even as soon as she appears, the first thing that comes to mind is to criticize her.
Wu Yanni is a controversial athlete in the Chinese sports world in recent years. In addition to the "jump start incident" at last year's Asian Games, it is also due to her personality compared to other athletes. For example, Wu Yanni has tattoos, double eyelid surgery, and of course Including some high-profile and confident speeches and the signature move of "pointing the index finger to the sky", they have become topics of conversation.
In addition to Wu Yanni, there is also Chen Yuxi. After Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan won the women's synchronized ten-meter platform championship at the Diving World Cup Xi'an station, she accepted an interview with foreign media reporters in fluent English. If she were an ordinary girl, everyone would give her a thumbs up, but when it came to Chen Yuxi, many netizens were dissatisfied, "Why didn't you speak Chinese during the interview? Do you worship foreigners?"
Wu Yanni and Chen Yu Xi is not an isolated case. Fan Zhendong was criticized for watching Taylor Swift's concert before; Zhao Lina's live broadcast to raise funds for charity projects was rumored to have been unjustly enriched; and Wang Luyao was criticized for posting selfies after she was eliminated from the Tokyo Olympics. Rebuke... An obvious conclusion is: no matter what athletes do, whether they do well or poorly, there will always be some people who are dissatisfied.
Back to Wu Yanni, you may not like her, but she is indeed one of the two or three strongest in the country in the women's 100-meter hurdles. In the previous women's 100-meter hurdles at the Kinami Michitaka Memorial Tournament, she also dared to challenge Japan's strongest hurdles team headed by Asuka Terada, Yumi Tanaka, and Mako Fukube. But the reason why Wu Yanni is so controversial is that "Goose Factory Sports Broadcaster" bluntly said: The reason why many fans and self-media like to stand on the commanding heights of morality and unscrupulously discipline athletes is based on one premise: "You "You are a role model, so everything you say, do, and do must follow the established norms."
"Goose Factory Sports Broadcaster" said that is already 2024, and every ordinary person can live a more colorful life. Colorful, why can’t athletes? Our society is progressing and our lives are becoming better. We can also learn to tolerate and appreciate more diverse beauties - of course athletes can speak English, put on makeup, bring goods to live broadcasts, and watch concerts , they are not puppets on the shelf, not machines born for gold medals, but living people who can be seen everywhere around us! The "human nature" that those keyboard warriors attack is precisely the quality that we should encourage and cherish the most, and this is also the only way for us to move from a sports power to a sports power.
