All these seemingly inconspicuous details, when stacked together, are enough to make people amazed—simply one person's influence has left such a profound impact on the entire industry.

It was precisely because of the former hurdling king's presence that track and field enthusiasts in China inevitably had some critical eyes for the newcomers, feeling that these newcomers were not as good as the hurdling king.

Soon, the track and field enthusiasts realized that if they continued to view these newcomers through the lens of the former hurdling king, they would never find a qualified "successor to the hurdling king," and it would impose undue pressure on these "successors to the hurdling king," leading to poor performance in competitions.

Unfortunately, later on, the track and field enthusiasts discovered that even if they no longer looked at these newcomers with a critical eye, it was difficult for these newcomers to produce even slightly satisfactory results.

From the past glory that was sufficient to dominate during the "era of the gods" to later being unable to dominate Asia, the disparity in between caused countless track and field enthusiasts to even dare not pay attention to the 110-meter hurdles events and to avoid watching any related competitions.

It wasn't until the emergence of Lu Mengfan in the 110-meter hurdles event that the track and field enthusiasts in China found a new hope in the event, although there still remained a vast gap between Lu Mengfan and the former hurdling king.

Subsequently, with Su Bai's guidance, Cui Luoheng, who had disappointed the domestic audience twice, managed to improve his personal best by a full second in the competition...

The enthusiasts of the 110-meter hurdles in China were suddenly awakened. Following this, Cui Luoheng's performance in one competition after another gradually relieved the audience who had been worried that he might be just a flash in the pan.

From the Asian Games and the Asian Championships to the World Championships, the Diamond League, and now the Olympics!

Cui Luoheng seems to be filled with the word "miracle."

In yesterday's 110-meter hurdles semi-final, Cui Luoheng's personal best had already been updated to 13.04 seconds! It's important to note that he is only 22 years old this year, and the golden period for track and field events still has a long way to go for him. If nothing unexpected happens, the next Paris Olympics will be the peak of Cui Luoheng's career at the age of 26.

22 years old, 13.04 seconds personal best.

Although this result is still not as good as the former hurdling king who broke the 13-second barrier at the age of 21, for track and field enthusiasts, Cui Luoheng today is undoubtedly the rightful successor to the hurdling throne.

His body seems to have already condensed the light of miracles, waiting for that one moment to completely shine before the world.

Will that moment be today?

On August 5, 2020, in this ordinary yet extraordinary moment, countless people in front of televisions in China are waiting for an unknown miracle to arrive.

The audience waiting in front of the television sets have held their breaths even before the competition begins. Many track and field enthusiasts have even clenched their fists, with sweat already forming in their palms.

"Today's battle... It is no exaggeration to say that this may be the battle that determines whether Cui Luoheng can truly ascend to the throne." Li Sen also nervously clenched his own hand, awaiting the start of the competition.

In the audience stands, Jiang Wentao's face is also filled with an uneasy expression. It's not just him; many of the national track and field team's staff members have a trace of anxiety on their faces.
