China ushered in the "new Liu Xiang", won the championship in 13.25 seconds, and could win the fourth place at last year's World Championships!

In the men's 110m hurdles final of the 2023 National Athletics Championships, we finally waited for a competitor who can beat Xie Wenjun and has a very good result, that is, Zhu Shenglong! Zhu Shenglong won the championship in 13.25 seconds as a dark horse, creating a personal PB and achieving the double standard of the World Championships and the Asian Games.

Zhu Shenglong was previously unknown, running 13.55 seconds in April this year, but his results were not impressive. How to evaluate the time of 13.25 seconds after winning the championship by an absolute margin? He has become the fourth best hurdle player in Chinese history, behind Liu Xiang, Xie Wenjun and Shi Dongpeng.

In the current hurdles, the overall strength is actually lower than Liu Xiang's time, and this 13.25 seconds is competitive. On the stage of the Tokyo Olympic final, he finished sixth in 13.25 seconds. At last year's World Championships, he finished fourth in 13.25 seconds. In the Asian Games, the previous champion Xie Wenjun won the championship in 13.34 seconds.

However, we must admit that the current Japanese hurdles performance has improved tremendously, and many runners have begun to impact within 13 seconds, Junsuke Izumitani's personal PB even came to 13.04 seconds, and Xie Wenjun's personal PB was 13.17 seconds, which is already outdated.

Therefore, a new era has arrived, and we are very much looking forward to the Asian Games and the birth of a new Asian hurdles king, China-Japan PK, which is unstoppable!
