Hitting the home stretch toward Tokyo
Wang Chunyu won the women's 800m in heavy rain with a personal best of one minute and 59.42 seconds-0.08 sec inside the Olympic A standard to book her Tokyo ticket.
"The rain definitely slowed me down to some degree. I was expecting to finish in 1:59. I was prepared for running in heavy rain. No matter what the conditions are, I will always try my best," said the 26-year-old.
"I have made some progress this year, and I am looking forward to improving my results in the final at the Tokyo Olympics."
Other highlights of the national championship were Huang Changzhou's victory in the men's long jump with a leap of 8.19m, veteran Tian Zizhong's men's shot put triumph (19.72m to refresh his PB), and Asian-record holder Lyu Huihui's women's javelin victory. Lyu, however, was not satisfied with her winning throw of 59.35m in heavy rain.
