The coach continues to give us lead to participate in one competition following another to find the competition I feel like the previous PB was (8 seconds) 47, but in previous games I was already able to reach (8 seconds). 26 and 22, so it’s a big jump looking at the outcome of many decisions made in hurdles over the past year, she said today’s results made her know she had chosen the. good direction and that she would persevere on this difficult path.

When talking regarding her expectations for the Olympic qualifications, Lu Liyao said she would not think too much: “I believe every athlete wants to participate in the Olympics, but there are too many uncontrollable factors. I strive to perform well every shot last week.” Returning to Hong Kong, she revealed that she would return to the United States next week to continue training in isolation in preparation for the upcoming outdoor season. However, it is still unclear which events she will attend in the future. she still has to wait for the coach’s approval.
Chen Mingtai’s performance at the Hong Kong Championship was not as good as expected.
The men’s long jump final held in the followingnoon of the same day brought together many experts. Unfortunately, the representatives of the Hong Kong team, Chen Mingtai (Artest) and Gao Haolong, did not achieve the expected performance. The first jumped 7.75 meters and finished second. while the latter finished miserably with a “stiff-necked fourth” with 7.58 meters. Wen Huayu of Chinese Taipei and Janry Ubas of the Philippines won first and third place, respectively. Artest has trained abroad for a long time in recent years. The Hong Kong Athletics Championships are one of the few local events he will participate in. He is especially grateful to his family and friends who came to support him. experts from the Sports Institute even gave up their vacation time to record the data of all the athletes. Unable to perform well in front of the home crowd, Artest mightn’t help but sigh following the match: “Alas! Actually, it’s not quite ‘Tart Q’. I’m in good shape, but it’s a pity that I just can’t understand it.” He revealed that he would be fine following a day of rest. He will leave for Europe and play matches in Greece, Cyprus and elsewhere in two weeks. I hope he can bring good news to Hong Kong fans.
