that we could not neglect in Taiwan’s athletic arena. He is none other than Wang Wei-hsu(王偉旭).
Who is he?
I first heard of Wang when he was the gold medalist for the 2013 World Gymnasiade Boys’ 400m event by clocking in 46.98 seconds (otherwise known as ISF School Summer Games 2013) in Brasília, Brazil. Since then, he was also known as the fastest high school runner, and he has always been standing on the podium in National High School Athletic Games.
He then entered the National Taiwan University of Sport, Department of Sport Performance (臺灣體育運動大學競技運動學系) as a freshman. At the same year, he joined National Sports Training Center(國家運動訓練中心) to improve his skills while training with other Taiwanese athletes in the center.
Wang highly admires his teammate, Yang Chun-han(楊俊瀚), the national record holder for Men’s 100m and 200m. He thinks that Yang’s resilience upon facing high-level competition and against pressure is something he has to learn. They share opinions with each other and compete in a friendly environment. Yang would also share his views of he sees Wang during the training and gives him pieces of advice to improve.
