Chapter 234: Bigger Than Myths

When Zhang Huasong walked out of the athletes' passage, the host of the CCTV live broadcast room happily said to all the Chinese viewers in front of the TV:

"Audience friends, Zhang Huasong has appeared, and the tenth and last group of the men's 100m first round preliminaries is about to start. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn the just-concluded men's 200m individual medley, Michael Phelps once again broke the record to win his sixth Olympic gold medal in Beiping. Now, Zhang Huasong's game is finally about to start, let's wait and see, I hope Zhang Huasong gets off to a good start!"

Seeing Zhang Huasong appear, the audience in front of the TV suddenly came to their senses and watched the live broadcast attentively.

In the Bird's Nest, more than 90,000 spectators in the stands also erupted in warm applause, Zhang Huasong's name and nickname and cheering slogans were endless, and countless fans waved Zhang Huasong's cheering banners to cheer for him.

Zhang Huasong looked into the stands while interacting with the audience, and then saw his parents, girlfriend, and agent in the stands next to the 100-meter track.

Zhang Huasong smiled and waved his fist at them, indicating that there was no problem, and then began to warm up and prepare for the game.

Everyone was worried about whether Zhang Huasong would be affected by Phelps' record-breaking sixth title, but in fact, Zhang Huasong was not under any pressure.

It was originally expected that Phelps would have won all eight events, otherwise he would not have to sign up for ten events, in order to surpass Phelps's myth of eight golds.

After warming up for a few minutes, under the greeting of the referee, Zhang Huasong and other contestants walked to the starting line and prepared for the race.

Even though Zhang Huasong's 100-meter dash skill was 9.6 seconds, and there was no problem in qualifying, he was seriously prepared, concentrated all his energy, and paid attention to the gunfire of the starter.

It's not about how much you can run in the heats, it's about keeping your starting reflexes high.

Under the watchful eye, with the sound of a gun from the starter, Zhang Huasong instantly rushed out with a starting reaction that was far ahead of 0.116 seconds, and established a large lead from the beginning.

In the cheers of the audience, Zhang Huasong took the lead in the front.

Even though he had retained his strength, after 50 meters, Zhang Huasong's eyes swept left and right, and he found that he was already far ahead.

So, Zhang Huasong pressed the speed again.

Even so, when Zhang Huasong crossed the finish line, he was still several meters ahead of the second place, and there was no suspense that he would advance directly to the first place in the group.

Zhang Huasong's crossing time was also played on the finish timer: 9.98 seconds!

Zhang Huasong's skill of 9.6 seconds and starting reaction time of 0.116 seconds, but he only ran 9.98 seconds, which is already the most retained strength in his career!

However, he still became the only runner to break the 10-second mark in the first round of the men's 100m.

When Zhang Huasong crossed the finish line and hit his results on the timer, the scene suddenly burst into extremely warm applause and cheers, and the audience also talked about it.

"Wow, Zhang Huasong's first place has been directly promoted!"

"In the first round of the preliminaries, he entered the 10-second mark, Zhang Huasong is really awesome!"

"It's a few meters ahead of the second place, it's just crushing!"

"Looking at Zhang Huasong's appearance, he ran very easily, as if he was not affected by Phelps!"

"This mentality is really good, and it is really as stable as Mount Tai!"

"That's good, keep it up!"

Zhang Huasong's parents, girlfriend, members of the coaching staff, etc., were relieved to see Zhang Huasong win the first promotion in the group so easily and run into the 10-second mark.

The 10-second mark is a barrier for the vast majority of athletes in the world. Zhang Huasong was able to run such a result in the first round of the preliminaries, and he seemed to be at ease, proving that Zhang Huasong's form is indeed solid, and he has not been affected by Phelps at all.

You can rest assured!

The hosts and guests in the CCTV live broadcast room, and the Chinese audience who watched the live TV broadcast, all rejoiced.

Zhang Huasong's Olympic debut was a great success!

On the field, the person who crossed the finish line in second place after Zhang Huasong surprised many Asians.

Because, the second to cross the finish line, also Asian, Naoki Tsukahara from Toei Province, his time was 10.28 seconds.

Even if it was just a preliminaries, it was the first time in the World Championships that two Asians were in the top two, squeezing other European, American and African sprinters behind, much to the delight of many Asian spectators.

However, for Zhang Huasong, this is just a preliminary match, and there is no need to celebrate. Therefore, after the game, Zhang Huasong only applauded slightly and thanked the audience for a lap, and then left the field with other athletes.

Back in the lounge, Feng Shuyong, Fang Jianrui and others were very happy and celebrated fiercely.

Zhang Huasong's easy promotion proved that his mentality was really not affected by Phelps, which made everyone very happy and relieved a lot about Zhang Huasong's next games.

With the end of Zhang Huasong's Olympic debut in the first round of the men's 100m preliminaries, there is finally a little news about Zhang Huasong in the media, and it is no longer Phelps's standout.

However, in general, Phelps' great feat of breaking the record again to win the sixth crown still occupies a much larger news page than Zhang Huasong, who is just beginning to appear in the field of vision of the majority of ordinary audiences.

"On August 15, Phelps broke the world record again and won the gold medal in the men's 200m individual medley!"

"Michael Phelps is unstoppable, has already broken six world records and won six gold medals!"

"Phelps has two more projects, and the myth of 8 gold is just around the corner!"

"The myth of Mark Spitz's 7 gold medals in a single Olympics is about to be shattered by Michael Phelps!"

"In the first round of the men's 100m preliminaries, Zhang Huasong made his Olympic debut in 9.98 seconds and easily qualified!"

"Zhang Huasong became the only athlete to break the 10-second mark in the first round of the men's 100m preliminaries in 9.98 seconds!"

"Zhang Huasong amplified his words to win 10 golds in 10 battles!"

"The American media said that Phelps was invincible, Zhang Huasong better not compete with Phelps!"

The news that Zhang Huasong ran into the 10-second mark in the 100-meter preliminaries seemed so insignificant against the backdrop of Phelps' sixth gold medal.

Except for Zhang Huasong's fans and Chinese people cheering for Zhang Huasong, foreigners have little feeling about Zhang Huasong's Olympic debut running into the 10-second mark.

Everyone was attracted by Phelps's feat, and everyone thought that Phelps would definitely achieve the myth of 8 golds, and Zhang Huasong could not surpass Phelps.

However, for Zhang Huasong, this is not without benefits.

The more shocked everyone is at Phelps' achievements, the greater the shock will be when Zhang Huasong surpasses Phelps!

Phelps's achievements can be called myths, and Zhang Huasong will be a myth within a myth at that time, greater than a myth!
