Star 100-metre runner shows remarkable ability to balance sport and study, even recites poetry during morning workouts
A top young athlete in China has been admitted to the prestigious Peking University, earning her admiration for her ability to balance academic studies and sport.
Liu Xiajun, a 20-year-old sprint athlete from China’s national team, has been dubbed “track and field sweet sister” for her good looks.
She has spent most of her time training since she achieved a record result in the 100m in her hometown of Ziyang, southwestern Sichuan province in 2018, reported the mainland news outlet The Cover.
As a result of her time spent on sport, like other athletes, Liu’s academic scores lag far behind those of elite students.
