Paris, August 6 (Reporters Wei Hua and Xu Dongyuan) If Mo Jiadie is tested with the popular MBTI test, she will be a true "e-person (extrovert)". After being eliminated in the women's 400m hurdles semi-finals of the Paris Olympics on the 6th, Mo Jiadie had a chat with reporters in the mixed interview area. In her eyes, even if the competition is over, it is still a satisfying journey.

Unlike many people who often wait for reporters to ask questions, Mo Jiadie took the initiative to open the conversation, as if she was hosting her own press conference.
"My first reaction after the race was happiness! Ha! My Olympic journey is over!" She even opened her arms to celebrate. "The second point is to sum up why we didn't perform well." Mo Jiadie nodded.
In this Olympics, Mo Jiadie ran three times, including a personal best of 54.75 seconds in a repechage match to advance to the semifinals. In the second lane of the third group of the semifinals, Mo Jiadie finally ran 55.63 seconds and failed to advance.

But my performance today was not as good as the day before yesterday, so I may have been lacking something in the past. I ran three shots in the past few days, but two of them were not so stable, so I have to think about why I can't stabilize when I go back." said Mo Jiadie.
"I had already surpassed myself in the repechage round. This was my first time standing on the Olympic stage and I was very excited. I may not be so satisfied with the result, but I am satisfied with this journey and I am very happy."
Although Mo Jiadie seems to be a carefree girl when she talks, she is a careful girl during training and competition. She said: "I have been watching videos online to learn the rhythm and feeling of masters, such as how they quickly and smoothly pass the hurdles. When I compete with them on the spot, I can also learn how they compete and how they are mentally prepared, including how they warm up."

In comparison, the thinner Mo Jiadie did not have an advantage in terms of body size, but she said she would make up for this deficiency with her skills. "When I entered the court, I looked back and saw that they were all so tall. It was very oppressive. However, everyone has their own rhythm and characteristics, and I don't think this is a problem."
"What is concentrated is the essence!" She joked again.
In the Chinese track and field team, the women's 400-meter hurdles is not a strong event, but Mo Jiadie has high expectations for the future based on her own experience.
"When I was practicing this event before, I thought 400 meters was quite long, but later I found it quite attractive. People who can practice this event are very good. This is our first time in 12 years to return to the Olympic Games. Now the results at home and abroad are going up. I think the Chinese team will get better and better. I hope to see more Chinese women's 400-meter hurdlers on the Olympic stage in the future."
