Chapter 193: Li Junhao's Talents and Achievements

Second place!

Li Junhao's final ranking was second!

In the final sprint, he managed to cross the finish line first with his body's effective part, overtaking Anderson, who had initially been ahead of him.

The audience at the venue let out incredulous murmurs upon seeing this result.

Anderson, in the moment he saw the result, furrowed his brows and looked around, seemingly unable to believe the scene before him.

That athlete from China had won?

Anderson scratched his head and patted his forehead as if he didn't want to believe the reality before him. However, judging from the screen at the venue, the Chinese athlete did indeed cross the line before him.

After seeing the result, Anderson tried to calm down and recall his condition today. He felt that he had actually run quite well today. Although it wasn't a top-notch performance, running around 45.40 seconds was not a problem. Last year, his season best was 45.17 seconds, and his world ranking in 2018 was 48th, which was his current personal best. When he was in excellent condition, his time would be within 45.30 seconds. Originally, he was satisfied with his performance today.

...Originally.

Anderson found all of this somewhat unscientific. He knew that among the Chinese athletes he had competed against last year, the strongest one, Zhang, had already achieved a time of 44.96 seconds. In this year's world rankings, Zhang had far surpassed him and entered the top 30 athletes in the world.

Besides Zhang, there was another Chinese athlete who ran 45.27 seconds, known as the "Rhythm Disruptor" in the 4x400-meter relay event.

Anderson, who had been following the Chinese team's competitions, had also seen Li Junhao in China's 4x400-meter relay races. However, the Li Junhao on the track today was clearly quite different from the Chinese athlete he had seen before.

The large screen at the venue was replaying the complete race footage, and Anderson was particularly focused on watching Li Junhao in Lane 9. The more he watched, the more furrowed his brows became.

This style of athlete was not only unheard of in the Chinese team but also rare in the 400-meter event. However, as long as an athlete could master this rhythm and control, they were generally skilled in the 400-meter short-distance race.

The prerequisite, of course, was a thorough mastery of this rhythm.

Anderson once again cast a skeptical glance at the large screen, observing the replayed footage of Li Junhao. Then, at a certain moment, he noticed the change in Li Junhao's rhythm.

Clearly, this Chinese athlete was not a master of this rhythm and control style. However, today, by chance, he had used this rhythm and state effectively in the race.

When you were in an ordinary state and encountered an athlete with an explosive state, this kind of failure was something that almost every athlete experienced on the field.

Even if Li Junhao hadn't been in today's race, there would still have been Botswana's Wolcott leaving everyone in the dust.

Anderson sighed helplessly, then raised an eyebrow in Li Junhao's direction and casually gave him a thumbs-up. When Li Junhao saw it, Anderson's face turned into a taunting smile – "Kid, you won't be this lucky next time."

Li Junhao noticed Anderson's gesture and smile, although he didn't know the deeper meaning behind Anderson's taunting smile. However, he could still discern the taunting undertone in Anderson's smile.
