Full Chapter Title: 110m Hurdles Results & Public Opinion & Li Junhao's Psychological Issues

This unexpected outcome, so real and yet so natural, was presented before everyone's eyes.

After a brief moment of daze, a frenzied excitement erupted!

Could there be anything more thrilling than this result right now?

It wasn't just Cui Luoheng crossing the finish line in first place during the final sprint. Following him, Takakazu Komatsu and Lu Mengfan also respectively crossed the finish line in second and third place!

Everything happened just as Su Bai had predicted earlier in the day - Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan both clinched medals in tonight's final, but what made it different was that no one had anticipated the final outcome would be a gold and a bronze.

In the spectator stands, Jiang Wentao stood in his place, gripping the armrest of his seat tightly. He hadn't fully recovered from the impact of what had just happened. After a while, he turned to his old friend Pei Jin'an beside him, "Old Pei, is it really a gold and a bronze?!"

Pei Jin'an was equally shocked. He took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes! A gold and a bronze. Cui Luoheng finished first, and Lu Mengfan is in third..."

It truly was unimaginable. They had considered all possible scenarios of both athletes winning medals, but in all those scenarios, Lu Mengfan's ranking was expected to be slightly higher than Cui Luoheng's. Never did they expect that in this final, Cui Luoheng would surpass everyone and ultimately claim the gold medal.

Tears welled up in Jiang Wentao's eyes. He murmured, "12 years... a full 12 years, and the Asian Games gold in the hurdles is back."

The last time the Chinese team won the gold in the men's 110-meter hurdles at the Asian Games was when the former hurdle king hadn't retired. Since then, the talent in China's 110-meter hurdles had declined, leaving the field quiet for years. Although they managed to maintain a leading position in Asia due to the training experience from years ago, the dominance they once enjoyed in the Asian region had faded.

In the two subsequent Asian Games, the Chinese track and field team could only secure a silver and a bronze, which was a sore point for many track and field enthusiasts.

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were also excitedly recounting this history.

"After 12 years, the Asian Games gold in the men's 110-meter hurdles is finally back in China! We also hope that China's 110-meter hurdles athletes, Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan, can continue to excel and uphold this achievement and honor!"

"Let's congratulate Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan once again, the two medalists in the men's 110-meter hurdles!"

In the live broadcast room, along with Shao Minyi and Li Sen's commentary, the exciting scenes of the race were replayed, and the barrage of comments from viewers had gone wild.

Did they want Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan to win gold medals?

They wanted it so badly!

However, this desire hadn't yet been voiced.

It seemed that these track and field enthusiasts were a bit reserved, or perhaps rational. They usually assessed the athletes' abilities and placed their expectations within a seemingly reasonable range. But this didn't mean they didn't hope for the athletes to exceed their limits.
