"45.52 seconds!"

When Zhang Ziyi's final result appeared on the big screen, whether it was the viewers in front of the live broadcast or the audience in the Chinese athletes' section on-site, everyone's faces were filled with excitement!

Zhang Shuai did an outstanding job!

Zhang Ziyi is amazing!

The people who were originally sitting in their seats had already stood up, and the expressions of surprise on the faces of Pei Jin'an, Jiang Wentao, and everyone present were beyond words!

What could be more surprising and exhilarating than this?

Zhang Ziyi not only secured a spot in the finals but even charged into the finals as the first in his semifinal group—this was unprecedented in the history of the Asian Games!

In the sports channel's online live broadcast room, the voices of Shao Minyi and Li Sen were even more excited than they were at the beginning.

Shao Minyi exclaimed excitedly, "This is a groundbreaking performance for China's men's 400 meters athletics event on the Asian Games stage! The last time China's men's 400 meters event made it to the Asian Games finals was back in the 2010 Games in City G. And for a Chinese men's 400 meters runner to make it to the finals as the first in the semifinal, this is the first time in history!"

"Zhang Ziyi's outstanding performance, tenacious will, and indomitable spirit of struggle have brought us an extraordinary performance and thrilling results in today's semifinals. Let's congratulate Zhang Ziyi and the Chinese national athletics team. Zhang Ziyi's qualification for the finals and the refreshment of his personal best both signify the growth and progress of our athletes in the 400 meters race."

Shao Minyi and Li Sen were excited, and the athletics enthusiasts in the live chat were even more excited. They couldn't believe that the men's 400 meters race, which had been completely disregarded before the competition, had turned into a showdown between Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi for the championship in the heats. And now, in the semifinals, Zhang Ziyi had smoothly crossed the finish line as the first in his group!

Many of these athletics fans didn't know what to say at this moment. Most of the comments in the live chat were a string of meaningless "ah ah ah," but behind these seemingly meaningless cries, there were passionate and excited hearts.

What else could be said?

There was no need for words!

At this moment, screams were enough!

When Huang Yilun saw Zhang Ziyi's result, he stood up in excitement, almost knocking over the chair he was sitting on. His group of friends in the 400 meters fan club were just as excited. "Lao Yong," who was smoking while watching the match, was so excited that he didn't even realize his cigarette was burning his fingers.

In the live chat, there were occasionally some viewers who were there to watch the game due to some earlier bet. These viewers, who didn't quite understand the significance of Zhang Ziyi's result, were still infected by the excitement in the live chat. Although they couldn't fully grasp the excitement, they could somewhat understand it by listening to Shao Minyi's commentary. Zhang Ziyi's achievement in this moment was remarkable and honorable!

In the audience stands, after the initial excitement, Jiang Wentao and Pei Jin'an finally calmed down a bit. However, the smiles on their faces still showed their inner joy.

Beside them, Su Bai also stood, looking at Zhang Ziyi on the field, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Coach Su, thanks to you!" Jiang Wentao couldn't help but express his feelings, "It's a good thing we brought you from the provincial athletics team to the national team. In just one month, you've achieved such remarkable results. It's really outstanding!"
