This was a sight that no one could have anticipated. In the final 100 meters of the race, Chen Yadan, who had barely been chasing Nirmala and Aisha in fourth place, astonishingly surged forward in the most difficult segment. She overtook Aisha, who was originally in third place, and Nirmala, securing the silver medal!

When Chen Yadan crossed the finish line, Pei Jin'an stood up from his seat in the spectator stand, his face filled with incredulity.

"Xiao Bai, did Yadan... just get second place?"

Pei Jin'an wore an expression of disbelief. Just moments ago, he had been worried, thinking that Chen Yadan had lost control of her speed when she entered the straight path after the second curve. However, Chen Yadan's final burst of speed in the last few dozen meters left Pei Jin'an completely astounded.

It was a perfect display of power and beauty. In this final stage, all the athletes were competing on the same straight path. If the live broadcast footage were replayed, it would show that in the last phase, Chen Yadan's stride frequency surpassed that of Aisha and Nirmala ahead of her, and she re-entered the same rhythm as Nirmala, the current first place.

In fact, in this final phase, Chen Yadan's stride frequency might have been even faster than Nirmala, who was firmly in first place.

Even from the camera's perspective, one could feel Chen Yadan's unwavering determination in the final moments, a resolute and persistent intention gleaming in her gaze.

She yearned for surpassing.

She yearned for victory.

And now, in that moment when she successfully crossed the finish line, almost everyone who saw her expression wanted to say to her: "You did it!"

Su Bai looked at Chen Yadan on the track with a gaze filled with amazement, then smiled at Pei Jin'an beside him and said, "Yes, she got a medal at the Asian Games."

This was indeed a result that exceeded Su Bai's initial expectations, but it was certainly a gratifying achievement.

Chen Yadan, with her unwavering effort and strong desire for victory, had become the first to achieve the "Potential Breakthrough" achievement, surpassing many athletes with greater natural talents.

She had broken free from the constraints of her original talent. On the path of athletics, she would now have a much broader avenue for growth.

In the waiting area behind the track, Zhang Ziyi and the other two athletes who had just finished watching the entire women's 400-meter race were left in awe.

Qiu Wen touched the back of his head in amazement. "Wow... Yadan is so incredible, isn't she? That reverse overtaking in the last 100 meters, it feels like she's not worse than us, right?"

Qiu Wen looked at the television with a complex expression. "Are all the older sisters on the women's team this strong? Lao Zhang, I think we might not be far from getting listed on the shame pole..."

Li Junhao let out a cold snort but didn't say much this time.

By the time they reached the second curve, they could all see that Chen Yadan's physical strength was almost depleted at that moment. However, she persisted in that state and managed to make consecutive overtakes.

They had heard countless legendary versions of athletes breaking through their own limits on the field, but witnessing it in person for the first time was different.

They were well aware of Chen Yadan's determination and tenacity, but now, watching her lean over, gasping for breath with her hands on her knees, seemingly due to exhaustion, they truly understood the extent of the big sister's desire for victory within this women's team.
