Chapter 215: Zhang Ziyi's Performance & 100-Meter Final About to Begin

As Zhang Ziyi crossed the finish line in third place, the broadcast in the sports channel's studio crackled with palpable excitement in Shao Minyi's voice.

He clenched his fists tightly on the table, and if he hadn't forcibly restrained himself, he might have let that excitement burst through his microphone during the live broadcast.

In front of the television, Huang Yilun was already enthusiastically pumping his fists, preemptively celebrating the possibility of advancing—no, it definitely wasn't just a possibility! He must be able to advance smoothly, right???

Huang Yilun anxiously watched the television screen, refusing to miss even a second. He wanted to see Zhang Ziyi's final result on TV as soon as possible!

So far, the results of the first two heats were already on display. The athlete ranked second in the previous heats, Niccolò, had a time of 44.87 seconds, holding only a slight advantage over Zhang Ziyi's 44.89 seconds from yesterday.

Today's competition had made it clear to all viewers who had watched both days of the event that Zhang Shuai on today's track was much more formidable than he was yesterday.

So... if that's the case, Zhang Shuai's performance today must be much better than yesterday, right?

It must be!

It must be able to break the national record (NR) and secure a spot in the finals!

Everyone's hearts were filled with nervous excitement, but until the results were officially revealed, no one dared to be so confident. After all, on the track, the difference between success and failure could be as small as a fraction of a second. Even though Zhang Ziyi and the others looked incredibly fierce today, no one could guarantee that this fierceness would necessarily translate into an advantage in the final results.

Thump, thump...

Every athletics enthusiast watching the live event seemed to hear the nervous thumping of their own hearts at this moment. In the online streaming chat rooms, there were numerous viewers letting out high-pitched screams, indicating they were too afraid to open their eyes and look at the results.

As for the Doha Stadium, on the track:

As Zhang Ziyi crossed the final finish line, he had a momentary sensation of breaking through some sort of invisible barrier that had been restricting him. It was as if something had shattered before his eyes, and at that moment, the world before him appeared brighter and clearer.

After gradually slowing down from his sprint, Zhang Ziyi was surprised to find that he wasn't as exhausted as he had anticipated. This sensation surprised him.

"Potential breakthrough..."

In the spectator's seats, Su Bai, looking in Zhang Ziyi's direction, also heard the familiar system notification sound: Associated User, Zhang Ziyi, Potential Breakthrough Achieved.

"Hmm? What did you say, Xiao Bai?" Pei Jin'an was currently watching the giant screen in the stadium nervously, waiting for the final results to be displayed. His already tense heart was now even more on edge, and any slight noise around him only added to his anxiety.

"Nothing," Su Bai calmly concealed the words he had initially wanted to say and replied, "I mean, Ziyi, he'll definitely be fine."

Just as Su Bai finished speaking, the final results of the men's 400-meter semifinal for the last group of athletes were displayed on the giant screen.
