Despite winning the bronze medal, Wu Yanni still issued an apology: "I personally take full responsibility for this setback." It's true that after the intensive schedule of the previous months, the quality of training in May did not stand up, and I reflect deeply. The first half of the season is over, with breakthroughs and gains and disappointments, followed by a period of treatment, rehabilitation and retraining. I'll be back when I reboot. ”
