Yan Ziyi VS Beikou Zhenhua, the pinnacle showdown of women’s javelin throw

The Asian Games will stage the pinnacle showdown of women’s javelin throw in the world. The two favorites to win the championship are Chinese rising star Yan Ziyi, who has just turned 18 and swept five Diamond League titles in her first season of the World Series, and Japanese star Haruka Kitaguchi, who holds Olympic and World Championship titles. At the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in mid-September, Haruka Kitaguchi won the championship over the injured Yan Ziyi. The two sides will face off for the second time within a month. Who will win is worth looking forward to.

The men’s and women’s 200-meter contests are also attracting attention. The 17-year-old new women’s 100-meter Olympic champion Chen Yujie will participate in the 200-meter contest. Thai genius Wen Song, who broke 10 with three consecutive shots in the men’s 100-meter contest, will appear in the men’s 200-meter contest.

New project, looking forward to taking care of it

Freestyle BMX, which has become an official event of the Asian Games for the first time, will determine all two gold medals, and the Chinese team has the ability to compete for gold.

They form a “double insurance” and will strive to win the first gold medal in the history of the Asian Games for the Chinese team. On the men’s side, Sha Xiaolong and Liu Xing are the champion and third runner-up of this year’s Asian Championships. Their main opponent is Japanese player Nakamura Yume who won the World Cup in Montpellier this year.
