Yu Yaqian, who won the bronze in the women's hammer throw at the 2025 Track and Field Asian Championships, shouted: I am finally not the fourth!

Chinese Taipei women's player Yu Yaqian won the bronze medal in the women's hammer throw at the 2025 Asian Athletics Championships in Gumi, South Korea with 64.25 meters local time on the 27th, and shouted excitedly, "I'm finally not the fourth!" ”

Yu Yaqian won the bronze medal in the women's hammer throw at the Asian Athletics Championships

Yu Yaqian became the women's hammer throw record holder in 2021, breaking the Taiwan record five times in her career, and the current career best is 68.39 meters, which also has the strength to win medals on the Asian Games stage.

However, Yu Yaqian's biggest problem in the past was that she was prone to negative emotions, which led to frequent low-tides, and even ranked 4th in the last Asian Championships in Thailand, Chengdu World Universiade, Hangzhou Asian Games and other competitions, and she had not been able to get on the podium for a long time, and she also questioned herself even more.

Gumi has a cool climate, and Yu Yaqian, who is afraid of heat, has a slight advantage, and has achieved results in 6 attempts on the same day, and in the fourth throw, she shook off her fierce rival and last silver medalist Michael Arthur with 64.25 meters, and finally accepted the medal as she wished.

Yu Yaqian said: "Although the results did not meet the pre-competition expectations, I was not sad to come out of the interview this time, I was very happy to really get the medal, and then I wanted to go and celebrate quickly." ”
