In today's several events, the performance of the national athletics team has completely exceeded people's expectations. From 100 meters to 400 meters, every athlete, such as Fang Yu, Chen Yadan, and Zhang Ziyi, has delivered performances that are enough to thrill athletics enthusiasts.

However, when Zhang Ziyi crossed the finish line, the competition at the venue was not over yet.

After overtaking Zhang Ziyi during the second bend-to-straight stretch, McNair, who had originally stopped paying attention to the opponents behind him, was now fully focused on trying to catch up with Laccasa in front.

He originally thought that this race would ultimately be a showdown between him and his teammate Laccasa. However, what he didn't expect was that in the final 50 meters, the Chinese athlete Zhang Ziyi would surge forward from behind, launching an incredible comeback, ultimately pushing him back.

What surprised him even more was that behind him, two other Chinese athletes were also sprinting forward, attempting to surpass his position.

"Behind McNair... it's Qiu Wen!"

In the final stages of the race, just as Shao Minyi in the commentary box had announced Zhang Ziyi's result, he caught a glimpse of Qiu Wen, who had steadily moved forward from behind, closing the gap on McNair.

The thought of astonishment flashed through his mind, but he was too late to announce it.

However, McNair had also noticed Qiu Wen's late charge. In the last ten meters or so, he put forth his maximum effort, and despite Qiu Wen's full-throttle sprint, he managed to maintain his lead over this short distance.

In the end, the result of the men's 400m event was: Laccasa first, Zhang Ziyi second, McNair third, Qiu Wen fourth, and Li Junhao sixth.

The audience who had been excitedly celebrating Zhang Ziyi's silver medal just before only a few witnessed the final fierce battle initiated by Qiu Wen in the last twenty meters.

It was a very brief but intense surge that stirred the emotions of many, and although the final outcome wasn't quite what was hoped for, Qiu Wen's performance was still highly commendable.

In the stands, Pei Jin'an had initially become excited due to Qiu Wen's last-minute sprint, but when he saw Qiu Wen's attempt to overtake fail at the last moment, he let out a small sigh.

"Oh my, little Qiu, what a pity...!"

Su Bai was also watching Qiu Wen at the end of the track. Qiu Wen had just crossed the finish line, and he was breathing heavily and scratching his head in frustration. But he didn't stay frustrated for long. When he turned around and saw Li Junhao, who had a serious expression and a hand on his hip, he put on a smile again.

In the race just now, Li Junhao had a good start and maintained a decent overall performance, but he struggled in the second half of the race due to the slippery track in the bend, which affected his overall performance. Despite his attempts to recover in the final stages, the competition was tough, and he ultimately finished in sixth place.

Li Junhao, in comparison, had achieved a respectable sixth place, but he couldn't forgive himself for the mistakes he made. He felt frustrated because today's rain had only affected him among all the competitors in the 400-meter event.

Thinking about this, Li Junhao became increasingly irritated.

Qiu Wen, on the other hand, was oblivious to Li Junhao's frustration. When he turned to see Li Junhao, he simply grinned widely and attempted to drag him over to congratulate Zhang Ziyi.
