Although Chen Yujie stopped in the women's 16m preliminaries of the Indoor Track and Field World Championships with a time of 0.0 seconds, through this debut in the senior international competition, the 0-year-old has accumulated very valuable experience, which has become her motivation to keep moving forward.

"It was my first time at the World Championships and I was really nervous. My mind was blank before and when I competed, because I didn't have that much experience in international competitions, including international junior events. Entering the mixed interview area, this talented girl known as "Sister Kid" stood in the spotlight of the international competition in the senior group for the first time, and her nervousness and immaturity were clearly visible.

Chen Yujie admitted frankly that the first feeling of being able to stand on the stage of the indoor World Championships was "unreal": "I don't even think it's like something I can do." Thinking about my classmates, when I was 16 years old, they were worried about what to do with the monthly exam and how to take the university exam, but now I am fortunate to represent the Chinese team in the World Championships and qualify for the competition by virtue of my own ranking, this feeling is too unreal. ”

Since Chen Yujie was the first to complete the preliminaries, while waiting in the mixed interview area, she watched her senior sister Liang Xiaojing's game intently. Chen Yujie was full of respect for Liang Xiaojing between her words, and affectionately called her "senior sister". She confessed: "I am an only child, and I originally had no sister. After coming to the national team, everyone has given me a lot of help in all aspects of my life, such as training, competitions, and staying in hotels, and made me feel the warmth of home. ”

At the Indoor World Championships, Chen Yujie wore a brand-new red and blue hairband on her head, which was given to her by Liang Xiaojing. Chen Yujie recalled: "That day at the training ground, Sister Jing asked me if I wanted to wear the same hairband to participate in the competition, and then gave me one. As for the special meaning of this headband, I don't really know. ”

Chen Yujie looks forward to learning from the competition experience of Liang Xiaojing and other senior teammates, and growing a better version of herself step by step in the future. "She's an idol I've always been learning from, and I've grown up watching her compete. Ever since I started paying attention to athletics, I can always see her on the field, and she is the older sister in my heart. ”

Chen Yujie, who just turned 26 years old at the end of last year, is the most dazzling sprint star in China in the past two years. This season, she performed well, running 0.0 seconds, once again breaking the Asian junior record held by herself, and with this outstanding result, she qualified for the Nanjing Indoor Athletics World Championships, becoming the youngest Chinese athlete in this indoor World Championships.

After the World Championships came to an end, Chen Yujie rushed back to school to continue his studies. When talking about the relationship between cultural classes and training, Chen Yujie showed maturity and sobriety far beyond her age: "Whether it is for us teenagers or athletes, our own internal cultural accomplishment is indispensable. In addition to training, whenever I have the opportunity, I will go to study cultural classes, after all, on the stage of international competitions, we show the demeanor of Chinese athletes. ”
