In the women's 20km race walk competition at the Paris Olympics that ended on August 1, Beijing time, Chinese player Yang Jiayu helped the Chinese team get off to a perfect start on the first day of track and field with a personal season best of 1 hour, 25 minutes and 54 seconds, which was also the 11th gold medal of the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games.

After winning the Olympic gold medal, 28-year-old Yang Jiayu said in an interview that she finally made up for the regret of the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, and she also wanted to dedicate the gold medal to her deceased father.

In Tokyo 3 years ago, Yang Jiayu received the third red card and was suspended for 2 minutes, and directly withdrew from the competition for the gold medal, ranking only 12th. Talking about this low point in life, Yang Jiayu choked up and said: "Because of Tokyo 3 years ago, I have always held back my strength and wanted to bloom myself in Paris. ”

She also said that she would dedicate this gold medal to her deceased father: "I promised my father that I would stand on the top podium, and today I did it!This gold-winning speech is also moving.

It is reported that Yang Jiayu's father died in 2015. At that time, Yang Jiayu learned that her father was suffering from terminal cancer during the Universiade of Inner Mongolia, but in the face of sudden family changes, she followed her father's instructions and remembered her father's encouragement, and resolutely chose to continue to represent the country in the World University Games.

What is heartbreaking is that when Yang Jiayu was still competing in the Universiade, her father passed away, and the family did not tell her about it in order to let her cope with the competition wholeheartedly.

Despite the ups and downs of her race walking career, after experiencing the regrets of Tokyo three years ago, she finally succeeded in realizing her dream in Paris and comforted her father in heaven with a golden gold medal.
