Shanghai’s rising star Qin Weibo sprinted to victory at the Chinese National Indoor Athletics Championships in Jinan this weekend, clinching gold in the men’s 60-meter hurdles with a blistering 7.56 seconds – his personal best! 🥇
Qin edged out rivals Zeng Jianhang (7.59s) and Zhu Shenglong (7.68s) in a nail-biting finish, proving that every millisecond counts in track & field. 💥
"Better balance at the start gave me smoother acceleration – like unlocking a new gear!" Qin told reporters post-race, comparing his technique to a rocket launch. 🚀 His performance earned him a ticket to the World Athletics Indoor Championship in Nanjing this March, where he’ll join teammates Liu Junxi and Zhu Shenglong.
But Qin’s already eyeing bigger goals: "If I nail the first 60 meters at this speed, the outdoor 110-meter hurdles could be epic – let’s chase 13.20 seconds!" 🌏 The 25-year-old’s confidence is soaring, blending the precision of a pro gamer 🎮 with the grit of an Olympic hopeful.
