Chapter 281: 110-Meter Hurdles Final - Cui Luoheng

The 110-meter hurdles final, as the most anticipated event on the morning of August 5th, was naturally scheduled for the latter part of the morning session.

After several events, including the men's decathlon and women's heptathlon, the finals of the men's triple jump and shot put were completed before the 110-meter hurdles final.

The Chinese team did not have any participants in the men's shot put final. However, in the men's triple jump event, a member of the Chinese track and field team made it to the finals. Nonetheless, this participant did not possess dominating strength in the event; he could only be considered a world-class male triple jumper.

In the morning's men's triple jump final, the Chinese athlete did not deliver an outstanding performance and ultimately finished seventh in the finals.

After the results of the men's shot put final were determined, personnel finally appeared on the field and set up the hurdles and track for the 110-meter hurdles.

"It is currently 11:35 am Tokyo time and 10:35 am in City B. We can see that the track officials have set up the 110-meter hurdles track. Next up, the most anticipated final of the morning session is about to begin!"

Even though the race had not yet started, the voice of Shao Minyi in the sports channel's live broadcast room was already filled with excitement.

After all, if the 110-meter hurdles were just an ordinary running event for foreign athletics enthusiasts and spectators, it could be considered a beacon of track and field enlightenment for many Chinese viewers.

Just like the current Athletics kingdom, many track and field enthusiasts were drawn into the sport due to the flourishing era of hurdles more than a decade ago. Even for those who did not enter the sport because of the flourishing era of hurdles, in their hearts, the 110-meter hurdles in China held a completely different significance compared to other events.

It was precisely because of the 110-meter hurdles, precisely because of the former hurdling king, precisely because of the once mighty presence that could stand at the pinnacle of the world even during the era of the gods and stand shoulder to shoulder with those "hurdling gods," that many track and field enthusiasts experienced the exhilarating sensation for the first time in the sport.

Although with the retirement of the hurdling king, everything seemed to have returned to square one, the era of the hurdling king still left many traces in China's track and field events.

For example, in track and field events, when Chinese sports school students have similar talent assessments in multiple events, they are more inclined to choose to study the 110-meter hurdles.

For example, even now, if you randomly ask a passerby on the street to recall the superstars of track and field events, eight or nine out of ten times, the name of the hurdling king will still come to mind.

For example, when asked about the smaller events under the track and field category, aside from the 100 meters and 200 meters sprint events, most people will immediately think of the 110-meter hurdles.

Even in various sports schools and track and field provincial teams across the country, the best resource allocation will always include the 110-meter hurdles. In domestic track and field research, the project with the most published papers remains the 110-meter hurdles. Furthermore, because of the hurdling king's influence, in the Chinese Diamond League, the 110-meter hurdles event has been permanently established in the competition of the Diamond League's Chinese division.
