Chapter 279: Chen Yadan's Retirement & Public Opinion

Chen Yadan, 50.96 seconds (PB)!

On the field, Chen Yadan, who had regained some of her physical strength, stood up from the ground and had been waiting for this final result. Upon seeing the number, she briefly froze, then revealed a relaxed and joyful smile.

The camera on the domestic sports channel was focused on Chen Yadan. Upon seeing her smile, many viewers watching the live broadcast couldn't help but smile as well.

In the sports channel's live studio, Shao Minyi and Li Sen's faces were also filled with joy.

"Congratulations, Yadan! She has achieved her personal best on the Olympic stage!"

"50.96 seconds, this result must be a proud and memorable achievement for her career!"

Although the audience was not yet aware of Chen Yadan's retirement application, Shao Minyi and Li Sen, as seasoned experts in the field, naturally had their own sources of information in the circle.

They had also received news through some channels in the field that Chen Yadan would retire after the Olympics.

For Chen Yadan, achieving a time within 51 seconds before retiring was undoubtedly the most memorable accomplishment.

At this moment, regardless of the final outcome of the women's 400-meter semifinals, both Shao Minyi and Li Sen felt that with this result, Chen Yadan should have no more regrets.

After the results of the first group of the semifinals were announced, the athletes in the first group left the field under the guidance of the staff, while the athletes of the second group of the semifinals began to enter the field.

Similar to the situation in the first group, the second group of the semifinals also had athletes with the ability to run within 50 seconds, and there was more than one such athlete.

Athletes like Delado from the United States and Sashara from the Bahamas were both capable of running 49 seconds. However, among the two, Sashara's ability had already approached the 49-second mark, while Delado was temporarily in the mid-49-second range.

Apart from these two, Nassar from Bahrain was also in the second group of the semifinals. She was someone with a 48-second capability in the women's 400-meter sprint, and with her ability in the 400-meter sprint, she wouldn't even be inferior to some ordinary male 400-meter professional runners.

Due to the presence of these three athletes, the second round of the women's 400-meter sprint semifinals was much more intense than the first. In the second group of the semifinals, Nassar, living up to her strength, gained a significant advantage in the initial acceleration phase and continually closed the gap between herself and the athletes on the outer lanes in the first half of the race.

In this race, Delado made a slight mistake during the start, but the American athlete did not give up the race because of her mistake. After quickly readjusting her status, she powered forward once again, chasing with all her might.

The power and speed she displayed during her pursuit were astonishing. The slight disadvantage caused by the starting mistake was quickly eliminated during Delado's full-fledged chase.

On the field, the Polish athlete Monica, who initially thought that Delado could be suppressed due to her mistake, only managed to briefly close the gap with Delado before being swiftly left behind.

Until the end of the race, it was a duel between Nassar, Delado, and Sashara on the field.

However, despite Delado's explosive performance that surpassed other athletes, her initial mistake and the gap between her and Sashara's original strength still prevented her from reaching the top two positions, and she ultimately finished in third place.
