Chapter 217: Fang Yu's 100-Meter Result, Public Opinion, and Award Ceremony

As the big screen at the venue froze the final image of the finish line, all domestic athletics enthusiasts watching the live broadcast erupted in cheers – He won a medal!!!

Even though some viewers during the live broadcast had felt that Fang Yu indeed crossed the finish line before Beveridge, they still couldn't believe their memories in that moment.

Until now, until this moment!

Describing it as breaking through the sky would not be an exaggeration. This was an achievement that exceeded everyone's expectations; it was enough to go down in the history of Chinese athletics, no, it was enough to go down in the history of Asian athletics!

The World Championships men's 100-meter bronze medal!

These eight words, at this moment, were repeated and savored by countless people. They wished they could engrave this joyful feeling into their minds so it would never be forgotten.

In the audience seats, both Jiang Wentao and Pei Jin'an had long forgotten about the restraint of coaches and officials. Just like the national team's staff, they were cheering and waving, shouting loudly, "Fang Yu!!! Well done!!!"

"To the viewers in front of the TV! Today, at this moment, it is 11:30 on September 29th in Doha, and 4:30 AM on September 30th in B City. On the stage of the World Athletics Championships in Doha, in the men's 100-meter sprint final, in this arena where the world's fastest gather, Chinese athlete Fang Yu secured the bronze medal!"

"This is the first time for a Chinese person, the first time for an Asian, to break through the dominance of black and white athletes on the 100-meter podium!"

In the sports channel's studio, Shao Minyi's voice was hoarse yet filled with excitement. This intense emotion was still lingering within him, making it impossible for him to contain his elation.

Even though it was already 4:30 AM in China, after an entire night of live commentary, they should have been tired. Yet now, their spirits were high, and there was no sign of weariness!

"Fang Yu!! At this moment, we are proud of you. All Chinese people are proud of you, and our motherland is proud of you!"

"Tomorrow is October 1st, the birthday of our motherland. This groundbreaking bronze medal will undoubtedly be a remarkable gift that all Chinese people will remember!"

In the sports channel's live studio, the barrage on the screen was so dense that the actual video footage was barely visible. At 4:30 in the morning, most people should have been fast asleep, but the barrage at this moment was as active as it would be during the day.

【Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!】

【My god, I'm crying, can't stop, Fang Yu is awesome, Yu Ge is awesome!!!】

​​【Third place... it's actually third place! We won a medal, damn, it's real, it's real!!!】

​​【Is this for real, is it real, is it real??? Yes, it's real!!! Ah ah ah ah ah!】

The entire live audience had gone completely mad. When Zhang Ziyi made it to the 400 meters final earlier, they had already gone through a round of excitement, but now that Fang Yu had won the bronze medal in the men's 100 meters, they had completely lost it.

For track and field enthusiasts, was there anything crazier than this moment?

No.

If there was anything crazier, it had to be more than a decade ago when the previous generation's "Hurdle King" won a gold medal on the Olympic track—a moment when a Chinese person, no, a person of East Asian descent, for the first time in history, triumphed over Black and White competitors in a straight-line race!
