Wu looking to let good times roll

Wu Yanni of China celebrates after setting a new national record during a women's 60m hurdles semifinal at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, on Sunday. AP NANJING — Moments after clocking 8.01 seconds in the women's 60m hurdles semifinals at the 2025 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China's Wu Yanni knew she had rewritten history. Last season, she lowered her 100m hurdles personal best to 12.74 seconds, securing a Paris Olympic berth, and three times improved her 60m hurdles mark, with the best being 8.06. Undeterred, Wu is eying the record at September's World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, where the 100m hurdles standard sits at 12.73 — 0.01 faster than her current personal best.
