At the Wuhan City Games two months ago, Zhang Huasong ran a time of 44.61 seconds in the 400 meters, almost breaking the Asian record of 44.56 seconds.
Later, some media broke the news that Zhang Huasong had broken the Asian record of 44.56 seconds in training, and everyone believed this statement.
According to Zhang Huasong's past performance, it is almost certain that he will break the Asian record.
However, after all, there is no official competition, what is Zhang Huasong's current 400 meters, and how far away is it from breaking the 44-second mark, everyone is still very curious.
Coupled with the news that he just qualified for the seventh Olympic event yesterday afternoon, Zhang Huasong had more media reporters at the 400-meter race on January 31 than on January 30.
Many small local media that had no plans to report on the Nanjing Indoor Championship had the luxury of spending public funds and sending one or two reporters to report on the scene.
The purpose is to get a first-hand report on Zhang Huasong.
At 10 o'clock in the morning on January 31, Zhang Huasong appeared in the third group in the men's 400-meter preliminaries of the National Indoor Track and Field Championships.
After the first two sets of races, the best result was only 45.98 seconds, which was able to cross the 46-second mark.
With Zhang Huasong present, the audience's pursuit of results is relatively high, and they don't feel anything about this 45.98 seconds, but they just applaud casually, and their emotions are not high!
Everyone is looking forward to Zhang Huasong's performance!
Finally, after the second group of athletes left the game, it was Zhang Huasong's turn to play in the third group.
As soon as Zhang Huasong appeared on the stage, he just waved his hand to the audience, which caused enthusiastic cheers and flashing lights from the audience.
The reporters in the audience also pointed their cameras at Zhang Huasong, and most of the time the live TV camera was taken on Zhang Huasong.
Zhang Huasong is becoming more and more superstar!
Then, warm up, prepare, and listen to the starter's command.
With a "bang" gunshot, Zhang Huasong rushed out instantly, and his starting reaction ranked first among all athletes.
Then, witnessed by the audience and the media, Zhang Huasong easily completed the race, and scored a time of 44.48 seconds on the finish timer.
Zhang Huasong broke the Asian record of 44.56 seconds set by Oman's Al-Malaki on August 12, 1988, with a time of 44.48 seconds.
The men's 400m Asian record, which had been sealed for nearly 20 years, became a new men's 400m Asian record with a time of 44.48 seconds.
The commentator said excitedly: "Zhang Huasong really did not disappoint, although he practiced several other events, his 400 meters did not fall. Two months after the Vuhan City Games, he improved his time of 44.61 seconds to 44.48 seconds, setting a new Asian record. Moreover, looking at Zhang Huasong's demeanor and the way he slowed down before the final finish line, there is still a lot of room for improvement in his results, so let's look forward to the semi-finals in the afternoon and the finals in the evening! ā
The audience was also excited, and did not hesitate to give their own applause and cheers!
In the 400m semi-finals in the afternoon, Zhang Huasong's time improved by 0.13 seconds to 44.35 seconds, once again setting his own Asian record set in the morning.
With Zhang Huasong's 400-meter performance rising, the 400-meter final in the evening attracted more people's attention.
The indoor stadium can only accommodate a few thousand people, so the live TV broadcast attracted more sports fans to watch, contributing a lot of viewership to CCTV's sports channel.
At 21 o'clock in the evening of January 31, 2008, the final of the men's 400m at the Nanjing Station of the Huaguo National Indoor Track and Field Championships officially began under the attention of thousands of spectators.
In this final, Zhang Huasong took out all the strength of his 400-meter sprint skills, gave full play, and devoted himself to it from the beginning of the start, constantly surpassing several runners in the starting position before him, and then began to run farther and farther, far ahead.
After entering the last straight road, Zhang Huasong took out his 100-meter sprint speed, sparing no effort, and the finish line also made an all-out action to cross the line.
In the end, Zhang Huasong crossed the line with a time of 44.23 seconds, and once again set a new Asian record to win the championship with a lead of more than 10 meters ahead of the second place.
Moreover, even in the 400m final of the 2004 Athens Olympics, this result is enough to rank in the top five and enter the ranks of the medal competition.
And now, with more than half a year to go before the Olympic Games, Zhang Huasong's performance can be improved again.
In addition to setting a new Asian record, Zhang Huasong's 44.23-second time is getting closer and closer to the 44-second mark.
Looking at Zhang Huasong's 44.23-second result on the finish timer, everyone at the scene believed that Zhang Huasong's 400-meter run broke the 44-second mark, becoming the first athlete in human history to break through the 100-meter 10-second, 200-meter 20-second, and 400-meter 44-second mark at the same time, which is definitely not a problem!
Even those in the track and field industry who never believed that anyone had done this before, changed their minds!
Zhang Huasong was born for breaking records and creating miracles! I have to take it!
At the end of the competition, on the evening of January 31 and the morning of February 1, following the news that Zhang Huasong had qualified for seven Olympic events, his 400 meters reached 44.23 seconds, and he was already able to compete for Olympic medals, making Zhang Huasong's news continue to be hot at home and abroad.
Zhang Huasong's fans and Huaguo sports fans are simply overjoyed by this, so excited that they can't do it, and there are heated discussions everywhere.
Sure enough, Michael Johnson is still a professional, and he has long predicted that Zhang Huasong will definitely be able to enter the 44-second mark. No, there are only 0.23 seconds left until 44 seconds, and less than 1/4 of a second. ā
"Zhang Huasong's performance has improved too fast, and this is still in the case of taking into account new events such as long jump and high jump! What a wickedness! ā
"I am a great country, and there are many geniuses! Liu Xiang created history in the past, and now Zhang Huasong was born, which is really exciting! ā
"I think Zhang Huasong not only broke through the three major barriers, but all three events have the strength to compete for gold medals!"
"It's a little early to win the 400m championship, it's only 44.23 seconds!"
"Hehe, there is still more than half a year, I believe that Zhang Huasong's 400 meters can be improved to the level of competing for the championship!"
"It's not just about winning the championship, it's also possible to break records! Michael Johnson himself said it! ā
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, let's run into the 44-second mark first!"
"So what's there to discuss? The 44-second mark is certainly not a problem for Zhang Huasong! ā
"Yes, top Zhang Huasong, it's really too glorious for Huaguo!"
"The king of omnibious speed, it is definitely Zhang Huasong!"
With Zhang's 400-meter time soaring, almost everyone can be sure that Zhang Huasong will run into the 44-second mark.
When to enter the 44-second mark is only a matter of time, not ability!
The vast majority of people believe that Zhang Huasong will definitely be able to do it!
