Hwa Chongian’s Tenacity Pays Off
We would like to congratulate the following athletes on setting new records at the Games:
Wang Tingjia, who came in second and set a new schools’ national record with a javelin throw of 59.76 m.
Sia Jun Wei who came in second for the 5000 m walk and set a new schools’ national record of 22:44:48.
Wu Xinyao (17S74) who broke the 3000m Walk Schools National Records during April’s National Inter-Schools’ Track and Field Championships. She has subsequently improved on that record during the recent ASEAN Schools Games, where she, amid the gruelling competition, emerged as one of the two gold medalists for the Singapore team in Athletics.
华中竞走女将吴欣瑶刷新纪录为国争光

在7月18日举行的第九届亚细安学生运动会（ASEAN Schools Games）上，我校田径好手吴欣瑶(17S74)打破自身创下的纪录，以15分16秒稳坐女子甲组3000米竞走的冠军宝座。她也曾在较早的全国校际女子甲组3000米竞走决赛中打破往年的纪录，以15分59秒的佳绩夺冠，而在此次国际赛中，她更是发挥出色，缔造新纪录。 |
|
这是欣瑶第一次参加国际赛，竞争对手都很强大，赛前她一直担心会表现不好。但后来又转念，觉得压力也不全是坏事，反倒激发了内在的潜能，超越自身的极限。当天比赛时，第一圈欣瑶是走在最后，但她并没有阵脚大乱，而是紧跟前面选手的步伐，把她们当作前进的动力。"走一步，看一步。找到适当的机会就超越。"她时刻关注选手的动态，一旦发现她们的速度慢下来就立刻反超，而事实也证明她做到了。 |
| 赛后，欣瑶会把生活的重心放回学业上。对于将来的目标，她希望自己能够继续在跑道上燃烧永不休止的运动魂，朝着梦想前行迈进。 |
