The reporter asked Michael Johnson what he thought of Zhang Huasong, who was in the 100-meter main event and 400 meters, ran 44.61 seconds in the final in the first official competition. Then, Michael Johnson was also asked for his opinion on whether Zhang Huasong can break through the three hurdles at the same time.
A superstar in track and field, Michael Johnson has won three gold medals at three Olympic Games and nine gold medals at five World Championships. (Originally, there were 4 Olympic gold medals, but one of the 4*400m Olympic gold medals was implicated and recovered because his teammates failed to pass the drug test after the game. )
Michael Johnson has participated in the Olympics and World Championships, as long as he participates, he will win gold medals, never won a silver or bronze medal, and is known as a track and field superstar who will win gold medals whenever he competes.
In the 400m, he was undefeated in more than 50 world championships for seven years, much to the despair of other 400m contemporaries.
Although he is now retired and his popularity is not as popular as that of popular stars, his historical status in the track and field world, especially in the 200m and 400m events, no one can deny it.
Michael Johnson is still very happy about the reporter's door-to-door interview, proving that everyone has not forgotten him!
When asked by reporters what he thought of Zhang Huasong's 400 results, Michael Johnson told reporters from the perspective of his own world record holder that Zhang Huasong would definitely run the 44-second mark.
Although Zhang Huasong's current time is only 44.61 seconds, which is still a little far from the 44-second mark, this is only because he has only been practicing 400 meters for a short time.
As long as Zhang Huasong is given some more time, maybe a few months, maybe a few years, Zhang Huasong will definitely run into the 44-second mark. Even Zhang Huasong won the Olympic gold medal in the 400m, or broke his world record of 43.18 seconds, he is not surprised.
Because, he thinks Zhang Huasong is definitely a genius.
As for whether the 200m can break the 20-second mark, Michael Johnson thinks there is no need to ask. With Zhang Huasong's strength to set a world record in the 100 meters, if the 200 meters can't run into the 20-second mark, it's a big joke.
Therefore, Michael Johnson asserts that as long as Zhang Huasong retires without injury, he will become 100% the first athlete in the history of the Blue Star to break the 100m 10 seconds, 200m 20 seconds, and 400m 44 seconds at the same time, becoming the king of speed.
If Zhang Huasong can win the 100m, 200m and 400m Olympic gold medals at the same time, he will surpass his achievements of winning the 200m and 400m Olympic gold medals at the same time and become a greater track and field superstar than him.
Michael Johnson's affirmation and prediction of Zhang Huasong caused a sensation in the Stars and Stripes press circles, and not only sports media, but also many comprehensive newspapers reprinted and reported.
Because, although there was discussion that Zhang Huasong could become the first athlete in the history of the Blue Star to break through the three hurdles at the same time, no one was as good as Michael Johnson.
At the same time, no one dared to say so sure in front of reporters that Zhang Huasong would succeed.
As a result, the media and readers of the Stars and Stripes have become hotly involved in this matter.
When the reporters of the Xinhua News Agency in the Stars and Stripes branch saw these news, they naturally transmitted them back to China for the Chinese media to reprint and comment.
So, early on the morning of October 31, before the first round of the 200m preliminaries in which Zhang Huasong participated, Zhang Huasong's fans and sports fans in China were shocked to find that many former track and field superstar Michael Johnson affirmed and praised Zhang Huasong in the morning newspapers and on the Internet.
"200m and 400m world record holder, former track and field superstar Michael Johnson predicts that Zhang Huasong will enter the 44-second mark in the 400m!"
Former track and field superstar Michael Johnson praised Zhang's performance, saying he would become the first great athlete from the Blues to break through all three hurdles at once. ”
Michael Johnson said Zhang Huasong could break his 400m world record. ”

Being praised by a former track and field superstar who holds the 200-meter and 400-meter world records has attracted a lot of attention from Zhang Huasong, both in China and in the world's sports circles.
As a result, on October 31, Zhang Huasong participated in the first round of the 200-meter preliminaries of the Wuhan City Games, which attracted more reporters, and even several foreign media.
As for the 60,000 seats in the stands, there were still thousands of tickets left that had not been sold because of the news that Zhang Huasong was praised by Michael Johnson, and some curious Wu Khan citizens came to buy them.
In a preliminaries, the stands were full!
Obviously, many people want to witness the moment when Zhang Huasong broke through the 20-second mark in the 200 meters.
Originally, Zhang Huasong didn't want to run into 20 seconds in the preliminaries, his original plan was to run more than 20 seconds in the preliminaries, 20 seconds in the semifinals, and 19.9 seconds in the finals.
As a result, Michael Johnson's praise made this preliminaries receive a completely different level of attention.
The previous 400m final did not break the Asian record, which disappointed some media, fans, and sports fans, and so many people watched Michael Johnson's prediction that his 200m 200 seconds was a joke in this game.
Therefore, Zhang Huasong decided not to disappoint the audience and the media, and not to make the prediction of his predecessor Michael Johnson a joke. Zhang Huasong decided to run into 20 seconds in the first 200m heats, taking advantage of this wave of heat to stir up, rub against Michael Johnson's heat, and harvest more prestige and popularity.
At half past 10 o'clock in the morning of October 31, in the 9th group of the first round of the men's 200-meter preliminaries of the Wuhan City Games, with the sound of a gun from the starter, Zhang Huasong, who was in lane 7, started smoothly under the attention of the media and the audience, and surpassed the opponent of the same group in lane 8 before the end of the corner, causing the audience to exclaim.
"Wow, Zhang Huasong is faster today!"
"Faster than when he ran 400 meters!"
"With only 200 meters to go, it's estimated that he's going to sprint straight to the end!"
"Well, come on, Zhang Huasong!"
On the field, Zhang Huasong showed all his strength in the corner, surpassing the only 8th opponent with a starting line in front of him.
After entering the straight, Zhang Huasong began to sprint towards the finish line.
