Amidst great anticipation, Chinese athlete Wu Yanni's performance in the women's 100-meter hurdle at the Hangzhou Asian Games has made news headlines. On the official website, it was announced that her results had been revoked due to a controversial decision involving an early start during the competition. This event stirred mixed reactions among netizens on social media platform Weibo, with some expressing support for Wu Yanni and others criticizing her actions.

On the day of the final event, Wu Yanni's performance seemed promising as she exchanged hugs with Lin Yuewei before the competition. However, things took a turn when the judges were discussing the results. The athlete was disqualified for starting early, which resulted in her scores being cancelled. This decision sparked a heated debate among netizens on Weibo, some defending Wu's actions while others criticizing her sportsmanship.

One of the netizens commented, "I think this is not a big deal. The main problem lies in the referee right?

Following the controversy, Wu Yanni responded to an interview expressing her regret for letting down her fans and country.

She acknowledged her mistake and hoped to reflect on it during future training and competitions in order to better represent China at the Paris Olympics.

This incident also brought attention to Lin Yuewei, who set a personal best and won gold that day. Her strong performance led netizens to consider whether Wu's actions were worth the controversy. "I see everyone is very excited, why do Wu Yanni's discussions arouse such heated debate? I pay less attention to track and field events. Do Wu Yannis achievements really excel?" some netizens questioned.

Others expressed their support for Lin Yuewei, hailing her as a model of graceful victory and sportsmanship. "Pursuing an advantage is pursuing an advantage! Learn from Lin Yueyi… Don't be too bold, this is the price of being arrogant and uninterested" said one netizen.

In conclusion, Wu Yanni's incident has sparked a wide range of reactions among Weibo netizens. While some expressed empathy towards her situation and acknowledged the pressures of compet
