On August 23, the penultimate day of the closing ceremony of the Peking Olympics, 10 am was the time when the men's 400m final officially began.

After 9 o'clock, the men's decathlon 110-meter hurdles group match was in progress, but all kinds of officials, reporters and spectators in the Bird's Nest have already focused on the 400-meter final.

International Olympic Committee officials:

"This morning, Zhang Huasong is probably going to tie Phelps' 8 gold record!"

"Well, from the semi-finals, Zhang Huasong's 43.62-second score is still reserved! Winning the championship should not be a problem, but I don't know if it will break the record!"

"There are two gold kings in one Olympics, and the Beijing Olympics will surely be remembered by the world! After the Olympics, we should also make more publicity to make the Olympics more famous and let more countries compete for the hosting rights!"

"Whoever Zhang Huasong and Phelps won the most gold medals in the end, I suggest that the person with the most gold medals should be given a special award, such as the greatest Olympic athlete or something!"

“This suggestion can be found!”

...

Officials of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee:

"Zhang Huasong is so amazing. Fortunately, we accepted the advice of the Field Management Center and arranged a schedule that is beneficial to Zhang Huasong according to Zhang Huasong's participation event!"

"Yes, fortunately, the schedule was changed in the end! According to the original schedule, several competitions Zhang Huasong participated in were held at the same time, so he would definitely not be able to participate in so many events!"

"I thought it was Phelps' performance stage, but I didn't expect that the biggest winner in the end would be our Chinese athletes!"

"This is God bless China!"

"We mainly play an auxiliary role. No matter how favorable the schedule is, the athletes still need to fight! Zhang Huasong is still very powerful and seizes all the opportunities!"

"This Olympic Games is very successful. We must summarize it carefully and accumulate experience for bidding for other large international events in the future!"

"Um!"

...

Officials of the Field Management Center:

"Zhang Huasong only debuted last year, but he didn't expect to reach this level this year!"

"We seem to have suffered a loss in the share ratio contract signed for Zhang Huasong last year, but now, the things we will gain from Zhang Huasong are probably more than Liu Xiang and Yao Ming combined!"

"That's all there is to say! There is no need to talk about income. Just the honor and social attention, Zhang Huasong is better than the entire national team!"

"Not bad! I guess Zhang Huasong has no problem with today's 400m final and javelin final, and I should be able to win the championship!"

"I think so!"

"Zhang Huasong is a peerless genius!"

...

Chinese media reporter:

"Zhang Huasong should be able to surpass Phelps today, right?"

"I am confident that Zhang Huasong will win the gold medal of 400 meters and javelin in a row, surpassing Phelps!"

"Did you notice that the reporters from Stars and Stripes are all not good-looking today!"

"Hmph, when Phelps broke records and won the championship in a row, those reporters from the Star Stripes raised their heads when they walked. Are you panicking now?"

"I've been shouted too early to return the Olympic God. Now I'm going to be slapped in the face by Zhang Huasong!"

"It's still the strongest in China! Not only do we rank first in total gold medals, but even the number of individual athletes' gold medals must surpass them!"

"Sit down and watch the jokes of the Stars and Stripes!"

...

Stars and Stripes Media Reporter:

"We have three contestants in the 400m final, so we should be able to snipe Zhang Huasong, right?"

"Who knows? Zhang Huasong ranked first in the semi-finals with 43.62 seconds!"

"Jeremy Varina's personal best score is still higher than Zhang Huasong. I hope Jeremy Varina will withstand the pressure and defeat Zhang Huasong!"

"Yes! If Zhang Huasong wins the championship, Feiyu's 8-gold myth will be surpassed and cannot be called a myth!"

"There is also the title of the God of Olympics, which has been recognized by many people around the world. As a result, no one has called it in the past two days, and some even think that this title should be Zhang Huasong!"

"Damn it! Curse Zhang Huasong to perform abnormally!"

"Speak quietly and don't cause diplomatic disputes!"

"Know!"

...

Media reporters from other countries:

"So excited, the comprehensive competition between China and the Stars and Stripes is really exciting!"

"From politics, economy, military, competition to the Olympic gold medal list, now it is still in the athlete's personal gold medal list. It's good-looking and exciting!"

"Our newspaper circulation has broken a record in this Olympics!"

"Yes, it's all for Zhang Huasong and Phelps. They both made the Olympics more exciting than ever. Many people who don't care about sports usually buy our newspapers to read the news every day during this period!"

"Our TV station's ratings have also hit new highs, and advertising is a big hit. Zhang Huasong and Phelps are simply money trees!"

"Yeah, agree!"

...

Chinese audience:

"Zhang Huasong is about to catch up with Phelps, so excited!"

"That's so awesome! I never thought that a person could win so many gold medals and break so many records. Now Zhang Huasong and Phelps are eye-opening!"

"But overall, Zhang Huasong is still more powerful! Zhang Huasong can definitely break 10 records in a row to win the championship!"

"Yes, I also believe that Zhang Huasong can definitely do it! Ten gold medals, ten record-breaking and winning the championship, which is much greater than Phelps' eight gold medals, which only 7 times broke the world record!"

"Have you brought the celebration banner prepared for Zhang Huasong?"

"I'm here, here! I'll be hung up later when the game starts!"

"Um!"

...

Foreign audience:

"This time I came to Peking to watch the Olympics on site, it was simply worth it!"

"Haha, it's not bad. I asked my classmates to come together at that time. They were distant, but now I call me every day and envious and jealous of me!"

"Yes, being able to see Zhang Huasong's god-level performance on the spot is simply the greatest happiness in life!"

"I guess Zhang Huasong can continue to win the championship in two finals today, surpassing Phelps' 8-gold myth!"

"When Zhang Huasong goes over, Phelps' 8 gold medals can't be called a myth! Myths will not be easily surpassed!"

"Not bad! If Zhang Huasong can surpass Phelps, Zhang Huasong will be a myth!"

...

Other viewers watching live TV broadcasts at home and abroad:

"The decathlon is about to end, I'm going to watch the 400m final!"

"Chinese Zhang Huasong is so amazing. He has never heard of this person before. He didn't expect that this time I saw the Olympics, which is so surprising!"

"Haha, don't you read newspapers and news upstairs? Zhang Huasong has long been a world leader!"

"I am busy at work and can't finish my work, so how can I have time to watch those? Today I pretend to be sick and take leave to watch the live broadcast!"

"Awesome!"

...

On and off the court, under the expectation of countless people at home and abroad, the group match of the men's decathlon 110-meter hurdles was finally over, the hurdle equipment was taken away, and the staff began to arrange the 400-meter final venue and equipment. The men's 400-meter final of the Peking Olympics is about to begin!
