After Leaving the Sports Circle, I Became a Cooking God (Completed BL)

Chapter 47: 400m Results & 110m Hurdles Finals

"Not really what?"

Just as Qiu Wen finished speaking, Guo Dun had broken through the finish line in third place. After slowing down a few steps, he arrived alongside Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi. He overheard Qiu Wen's "not really" and decided to join the lively conversation.

In today's competition, it can be said that every athlete gave their all. The often-seen coasting behavior that was common in domestic races was completely absent.

Having completed the entire race, Guo Dun, despite feeling tired at the moment, also felt a sense of gratification. Although he only managed to secure the third place after putting in his best effort, the feeling of resurgence in his competitive state was much better than the past flat performances.

Zhang Wei and Hu Li, in today's competition, secured the fourth and sixth places respectively. Lin Chuan from the Z Province Sports Team performed exceptionally well today. With a strong finish in the second half of the race, he surpassed Hu Li and secured the fifth place.

Overall, today's 400-meter race was much more exciting and thrilling compared to previous domestic races.

In the commentary live broadcast of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen shared the same sentiment.

"Today's men's 400-meter event is a rare high-level, highly competitive, and highly entertaining race in China in recent years!" Shao Minyi sincerely praised, "From the start of the race, each athlete has showcased their best form, battling it out from the gunshot and the start."

"Especially in the final 200-meter stretch, the overtaking and chasing between Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi made people unable to help but hold their breath!"

"No doubt!" Li Sen's words carried an excited tone. He himself had a preference for the 400-meter event in athletics. Today's live coverage of the race allowed him to witness the hope of progress in China's 400-meter event.

"The athletes' performances and efforts today were outstanding. Qiu Wen, as a newcomer to the 400-meter event, came very close to defeating the domestic 400-meter champion, Zhang Ziyi. The sprint duel in the last 100 meters between the two was truly heart-pounding!"

"However, right after the race ended, Qiu Wen seemed a bit dissatisfied with his ranking!" Li Sen recalled the moment he saw Qiu Wen's demeanor on the live broadcast and couldn't help but chuckle.

In the live chat room, when Li Sen said this, there was a string of friendly "hahaha" comments. For athletics enthusiasts, today's competition was undoubtedly a satisfying and invigorating experience, a long-awaited source of excitement.

In the S Province Sports Team's room, several track and field coaches were gathered, watching the live broadcast together. They had also noticed Qiu Wen's downcast look. Several coaches couldn't help but laugh.

"This brat, he's too prideful!"

Among the coaches present, there was an elderly man with graying hair, who appeared to be over seventy years old. He was wearing sportswear just like the rest. Seeing Qiu Wen's frustrated expression after crossing the finish line, he immediately raised his eyebrows and twirled his mustache. He was likely to give Qiu Wen a stern talking-to whenever he encountered him.

Seated on the left, He Yishen heard this and offered a soothing suggestion, "Oh well, Qiu Lao, why get worked up? Qiu Wen has a strong drive and is aiming for better results, isn't he?"

"Besides, just look at the race we just witnessed. The distance between Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi in the final sprint was only a bit more than a body length. If that final stretch was fifty meters longer, it could have gone either way."
