World Championships in Athletics: The first medal of the Chinese team is accounted for Bashim missed the men’s high jump four consecutive championships
China News Agency, Budapest, August 22 (Reporter Xing Chong) The 2023 Budapest World Athletics Championships will end on the 22nd for the fourth competition day. The first medal of the Chinese team was recorded, and Feng Bin, the champion of the last World Championships, won a bronze medal in the women’s discus field. Already won three consecutive world championships, Qatar’s Bashim failed to defend his title in the men’s high jump and also won a bronze medal.
After successive failures in the dominant events such as men’s and women’s 20-kilometer race walking and men’s triple jump, the Chinese team finally ushered in a harvest. Feng Bin refreshed her personal best of the season four times in the women’s discus final, and finally won the bronze medal with 68.20 meters. She expressed satisfaction with this result following the game, thinking that it exceeded expectations.
The final gold medalist was American teenager Tausaga. She was unknown in the international arena before, but she threw 69 meters 49 in the fifth final, the best result of her career. With one throw, she also defeated her teammate and Tokyo Olympic champion Allman. Allman also performed well that day, winning the runner-up with 69 meters 23.
Tao Saga said following the game, all this seems to be a myth, which is incredible. “I knew I was not the favorite to win the championship, so I was very relaxed during the game, but this result is indeed beyond everyone’s imagination.”
At the Tokyo Olympics two years ago, following failing to hit the height of 2.39 meters three times, Qatar’s star Bashim and Italy’s Tamberry still had exactly the same results. According to the rules, they can lower their heights and continue to compete, or they can choose to tie for the championship. In the end, the pair of transnational friends chose to stand on the highest podium together, which made an Olympic story.
However, in Budapest, Bashim seemed to be almost lucky. He failed to challenge 2.36 meters three times, and his score stayed at 2.33 meters; while Tambery skipped 2.36 meters at one time and won the World Championships gold medal for the first time. American player Harrison also jumped over a height of 2.36 meters, but because it was the second attempt to jump, he won the runner-up.
Although Bashim missed the four consecutive World Championships, he still has strong competitiveness in Asia. He has won two Asian Games championships and will also be a strong contender for the gold medal in the Hangzhou Asian Games.
In the men’s 3,000-meter obstacle course, Tokyo Olympic champion and Moroccan player Bakali broke out from the “black whirlwind”, defeated a group of African masters in 8:03.53, and successfully defended the world championship. The women’s 1500m championship belongs to the two-time Olympic champion and Kenyan star Kipu Yegan. Her score was 3:54.87, and she won three consecutive World Championships.
After the fourth match day, the U.S. team ranked first in the gold and medal standings with 6 golds, 4 silvers and 2 bronzes. On the 23rd, the Budapest Athletics World Championships will hold the women’s pole vault, women’s 400m, men’s 1500m and men’s 400m hurdles finals. Chinese players will participate in the women’s javelin and men’s pole vault qualifying competitions.
