On September 1, 2024, Yao Miao made history as the first Chinese woman to win the 50-kilometer race at the famous Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB, 环勃朗峰越野跑). This adds to her earlier success in 2018, when she became the first Chinese woman to win the 100-kilometer race at the UTMB.
The UTMB is one of the world's most well-known trail running (越野跑) events, taking place every year in the beautiful Mont-Blanc area, covering parts of France, Italy and Switzerland. This year, Yao completed a 57-km course. “I started off a bit slow, but after 20 km, I felt stronger, especially on the downhills. It's all about knowing when to save energy and when to push hard,” Yao explained.
Yao's love for running began in her childhood in the countryside of Guizhou. Her school was four kilometers from home, and she walked the distance four times a day. Growing up in the mountains gave her a toughness (坚韧) that later helped her as a runner.
In 2019, Yao was recommended to join the Hubei provincial team as a professional (专业的) runner. She was later accepted into Central China Normal University in 2020. Balancing professional training with her studies, Yao trains in Yunnan, running about 30 kilometers a day. In her free time, she takes online courses. Though she doesn't have much time to explore her university, Yao said, “When I have time, I will fully enjoy it.”
