In the just-concluded preliminaries of the 110-meter hurdles, both Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan won their heats without much pressure. Their respective times in the preliminaries were 13.56 seconds for Cui Luoheng and 13.68 seconds for Lu Mengfan.

【Damn, Cui Luoheng is really something. His preliminary time is 0.12 seconds faster than Lu Mengfan's?】

【Well, it's not a big deal. After all, it's just the preliminaries. Lu Mengfan's heat didn't have strong competitors. Even if he ran 13.68 seconds, the second-place runner in his heat finished in 13.89 seconds!】

【You're right. The schedule for the 110-meter hurdles is tight, with preliminaries in the morning and finals in the evening. To ensure their energy for the finals, athletes won't push too hard in the preliminaries. Just look at Lu Mengfan's final sprint. He clearly eased up in the last few meters...】

【But someone previously mentioned that Cui Luoheng's form wasn't stable. Now looking at his preliminary performance, he seemed quite relaxed, and his time was good... With that in mind, it seems like the finals tonight will be really exciting, don't you think?】

From the news release on the Sports Channel's Weibo page to the reports on the performance of Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan in the preliminaries, in just a short span of time, the comments section under the Sports Channel's Weibo post became a hub of discussion for numerous sports enthusiasts.

Some people were jokingly saying that this day would soon witness the birth of the prophet of predictions, Su Bai.

On the Athletics Kingdom forum, the page dedicated to the hurdles section was flooded with posts discussing the upcoming 110-meter hurdles finals.

【Can someone analyze this? Is Su Bai serious or strategically playing along?】

【Let's have a rational discussion. Is the 110-meter hurdles really making a comeback? Leaving aside Lu Mengfan's consistent performance, Cui Luoheng's results have surprised many since he joined Su Bai's coaching. This is his first time at the Asian Games. If he manages to secure a bronze, it might mark his ascent to the top!】

【Regardless of whether it's an ascent to the top or not, I just think this coach Su Bai is a bit magical, has no one noticed? Qiu Wen, Zhang Ziyi, Cui Luoheng, Zhang Wei, Hu Li... These five have all trained under Su Bai to some extent, and their abilities have all improved or broken through bottlenecks. Isn't that incredible?】

【It just occurred to me that Su Bai has coached more than just Cui Luoheng and Zhang Ziyi. Even the 4x400m relay team trained under him during the recent Asian Games training camp. Su Bai mentioned before departing that the 4x400m relay team's goal for this Asian Games is to compete for a medal...?!】

On the forum, posts related to Su Bai were everywhere, showing how he had repeatedly overturned the established guesses of track and field enthusiasts during this period. Many track and field fans found the seemingly impossible turning into the possible.

Accumulating up to this point, the discussions about Su Bai had reached a climax after the interview and the release of the preliminary results for Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan.

【Regardless of how, as long as Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan can really win medals as Su Bai predicted in tonight's 110-meter hurdles finals, Su Bai's title as the Athletics Master is set in stone!】

1: 【Agreed.】

5: 【No doubt, I agree. It all depends on tonight's 110-meter hurdles finals! Damn, I'm getting excited. It feels like witnessing a prophet's prediction. If it actually comes true tonight, Su Bai's title as a prophet won't be going anywhere!】
