Chapter 145: Athletics Challenge - 110m Hurdles Race in Jamaica

While the team's Chinese translator was assisting the athletes with various pre-competition matters, the athletes gathered together and engaged in casual conversations.

Ye Wenhao had recently recovered from an injury he sustained during the Asian Championships. His participation in this event was primarily to find his form in international competitions and acclimate to the atmosphere.

Wang Shen, on the other hand, came for a serious competition. He and Ye Wenhao had some experience in international competitions, and at the moment, both were in good shape. Ye Wenhao looked around the competition venue, then glanced at Cui Luoheng, who seemed expressionless not far away. He whispered to Wang Shen, "Old Wang, it seems like Ah Heng hasn't participated in formal international competitions before, right? Isn't he prone to getting nervous? Shouldn't we talk to him and reassure him?"

?

Wang Shen smiled at Ye Wenhao and then cast a smiling glance at Cui Luoheng not far away. He replied, "No need."

"Why not?" Ye Wenhao didn't quite understand. "If he doesn't have good mental resilience, shouldn't we, as teammates, help him?"

Hearing Ye Wenhao's words, Wang Shen raised an eyebrow and gave his teammate a knowing look. He understood the complex feelings that Su Bai had when dealing with Qiu Wen earlier.

"No worries, his mental resilience is like Schrödinger's cat."

"Huh?" As a pure-blooded athlete representative, Ye Wenhao didn't quite understand the meaning behind Wang Shen's words. However, he still understood the underlying message – there's no need for reassurance.

Cui Luoheng, who was quietly standing there, wasn't aware of the discussion happening among his teammates about him. Even though the competition hadn't started yet, and they hadn't even begun warming up, the subtle tingling excitement that was gradually spreading from his heart had already made his eyes shine.

If there were a camera focused on his face at this moment, capturing his slightly constricted pupils due to the hidden excitement in his heart, no one would believe that a person with such an expression could be described as having "poor mental resilience."

About this Jamaica Challenge, Su Bai had already analyzed a lot with him before the race, including the registered athletes and other information. Cui Luoheng can be said to have all this information at his fingertips.

The International Association of Athletics Federations Challenge is a high-level athletics series event worldwide. Although the entry threshold for athletes is not as high as that of the Diamond League, it is still very competitive.

For today's race in the 110m hurdles, it includes several world-class 110m hurdles stars.

As the venue for the competition is in Jamaica, three of the participants in this competition are from Jamaica. Among them, the strongest is a world-class 110m hurdler named Tanui, whose personal best is currently 12.96 seconds. He has consistently run under 13 seconds and is an international star.

In addition to Tanui, among the remaining Jamaican participants, there is another athlete named McCleod, who also has the ability to run within the range of 13.05 seconds. McCleod's regular personal records fluctuate between 13.10 and 13.30 seconds, and he is a very stable athlete.

Apart from the three Jamaican participants and Cui Luoheng, there are also five athletes in this race from the United States, Germany, France, Cyprus, and Barbados. Among them, Fabregas from France and Aubrey from Barbados both have records in the range of 13.20 to 13.40 seconds. The personal best times for these two athletes are 13.11 and 13.14 seconds, respectively. For Cui Luoheng, they are all strong competitors.
