Chapter 247: Is Xiao Cui in Love? & Hey, Jumping Door Frames?

As the live audience presented a bouquet of flowers to Cui Luoheng, he seemed to have regained his composure. With a slight smirk and a calm, collected gaze, he appeared exceptionally reliable.

At this moment, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were discussing another topic in the live broadcast.

"Oh my, for some reason, Xiao Cui looks much more mature and composed in this year's competition, doesn't he? He's barely 22 years old, but that composed demeanor of his doesn't seem inferior to many veteran athletes."

"You're right. It's only been a winter training period, but there's been a significant change in his overall demeanor."

They went on to discuss Cui Luoheng's performance in the previous World Indoor Athletics Championships in the 60-meter hurdles.

Before the transition from eight to seven steps, Cui Luoheng wasn't particularly skilled in the first half of the race. His rhythm on the first step and the first three hurdles was not brisk enough. His personal advantage in the 110-meter hurdles was in the second half of the race. Despite some technical adjustments and improvements, his first half of the race was still not enough to give him a decisive edge.

In indoor competitions, there were no 110-meter hurdles, only 60-meter hurdles. This to some extent weakened Cui Luoheng's strengths, as if he was highlighting his weaknesses. Sports media had discussed this topic before the competition, and people were concerned about Cui Luoheng's performance in the 60-meter hurdles. However, the end result was pleasing.

After winning the silver medal in the 110-meter hurdles at the Doha World Championships, Cui Luoheng also secured a silver medal in the 60-meter hurdles at the World Indoor Athletics Championships held in the city of N.

While two silver medals may not seem as satisfying as two gold medals, it's important to note that Cui Luoheng is still under 22 years old. He has not even entered the golden age range for hurdling athletes. Over the next six to seven years, there is a high possibility that this period will be the golden growth phase for Cui Luoheng.

In fact, even though the Tokyo Olympics haven't started yet, some are already predicting that even if Cui Luoheng doesn't win the gold medal at this year's Tokyo Olympics, in another four years, with his growth rate, he will be unstoppable.

While this may seem like casting doubt on Cui Luoheng's performance at this year's Tokyo Olympics, it makes sense to some extent. In four years, when Cui Luoheng competes in the next Olympics, he will only be 26 years old. As long as he doesn't suffer from injuries, by that time, with more mature techniques and his physical abilities at their peak, he has the potential to become one of the world's top 110-meter hurdlers.

Perhaps...

Could there be a chance for him to dominate the world's top ten rankings like Vladimir does now?

Regardless, Cui Luoheng has become the new generation champion in the hearts of domestic 110-meter hurdles enthusiasts. People are eagerly anticipating how Cui Luoheng's future performances will amaze the world as they follow his footsteps.

In today's Diamond League Qatar event, he easily outclassed his opponents and displayed an overall aura that left fans hoping for a strong start to his outdoor season feeling extremely satisfied and proud.

———【Xiao Cui is awesome!!! A new generation champion is emerging, and it's all about this momentum. Keep pushing, go get 'em! Let the world see once again how incredible Chinese 110-meter hurdles are!】———【It's so exhilarating! Xiao Cui's performance today on the field was that of a true dominator. The athletes beside him were no match. During the middle stage, that French guy, Leipwost, seemed like he wanted to overtake Xiao Cui, but instead, he disrupted his rhythm. He hit several hurdles in a row towards the end, clearly losing his composure!】———【Indeed, if it weren't for Shao Minyi and Li Sen, I would have forgotten about Xiao Cui's supposed lack of mental fortitude issue back then. In less than three years, he's gone from 14.57 seconds to having a chance to break the 13-second barrier... looking back, it feels like a dream.】———【Who isn't? From 14.57 to 13.06, when I saw that result at the World Championships before, as a grown man, I have to admit my eyes welled up. Our 110-meter hurdles are finally rising again!】———【Xiao Cui's aura today is really different. In the past, he had the same determination, but I always feel that today's Xiao Cui has an even stronger sense of 'must win,' that kind of fierce determination, knowing there's a tiger in the mountains and still heading to the mountains to catch it, no matter what...】
