Chapter 195: Finland Event Results, Public Opinion, and the Upcoming Trial Tests

Overseas, national team athletes from various countries are competing in different events at various station meets, aiming to achieve good results.

At the World Athletics Challenge in Finland on June 12th, China's Fang Yu won the gold medal with a time of 9.99 seconds, while Cui Luoheng ran the 110-meter hurdles in 13.17 seconds, setting a new personal best and earning the silver medal.

Fang Yu's sub-10-second performance once again showcased his outstanding form this season, bringing joy to many as they witnessed his current state.

With Cui Luoheng breaking the 13.20-second barrier, it signified that this young 21-year-old athlete had officially entered the elite circle of 110-meter hurdles. From this moment on, there would be no more than 10 athletes worldwide who could stand in his way.

When Cui Luoheng rapidly improved his performance and comfortably ran 13.20 seconds at the Asian Championships, track and field enthusiasts in China already knew that 13.20 seconds was by no means his limit in the 110-meter hurdles.

However, they did not anticipate that Cui Luoheng would casually break his own personal best in such an ordinary World Athletics Challenge station meet, entering the 13.20-second territory for the first time. This nonchalant achievement left many track and field enthusiasts momentarily stunned.

【I originally thought that breaking the 13.20-second barrier should at least happen in a major competition, with high expectations and everyone's anticipation, and then Ah Heng would carry everyone's hopes and laboriously break the 13.20-second barrier... But now that this result has come out today, why do I feel a bit dazed? It's like I don't really want to believe it.】

【...Brother, it's not just you feeling dazed; I'm feeling a bit dazed too. But I think you might have watched too many TV dramas, so you have this illusion. In reality, many great results are achieved in such inconspicuous competitions. Athletes' form isn't constant; sometimes it just happens.】

【The previous brother is right. While coaches and athletes try their best to peak their competitive form during major events, it's quite normal to achieve good results during the season when they are adjusting and competing. You see, in the interview after Hao Ge's race a few days ago, they also said that his form was exceptionally good that day.】

On the internet, although Cui Luoheng's result had a huge impact on seasoned track and field enthusiasts, most ordinary viewers didn't have a clear understanding of the significance of this achievement.

Therefore, while there were praises for Cui Luoheng's performance on platforms like the National Team, the Athletics Management Center, and the Athletics Kingdom forum, on more mainstream platforms like Weibo, casual onlookers were aware that Cui Luoheng had achieved a good result but didn't grasp that this result already placed him in the top ten in the world for the year.

This difference in online discussions didn't bother either Su Bai or Cui Luoheng. However, domestic media seemed more anxious than them. Upon receiving news of Cui Luoheng's 13.17-second run, they rapidly released one commentary article after another:
