This is not the first time Wu Yanni has set a personal best this season. In the hurdle final of the National Indoor Track and Field Championships held in Jinan, Shandong Province on the 8th, she set a new personal best record of 8.10 seconds this season. Previously, she posted a selfie video with short hair, which also attracted the attention of many fans.

27-year-old Wu Yanni has always attracted positive and negative praise from the outside world with her beautiful appearance and outspoken personality, but she still chooses to be herself. After winning the women's 60-meter hurdles final at the National Indoor Track and Field Championships on the 8th, Wu Yanni made a promise to win the National Games in November.

Last time, she lost to Lin Yuwei in the 100m hurdles final at the National Games and won the silver medal in 12.91 seconds, but she believes that there is pressure to be motivated, and she hopes that fans will look forward to it.

After cutting her hair short, Wu Yanni posted: From today onwards, I am a short-haired Xiaoni. It also seems to foretell that you will focus on improving your performance, which is not only convenient for life, but also helps to reduce unnecessary distractions during exercise.
