Participating in this race for him is like Bolt running in a kindergarten race; there's no way he could take it seriously.
Li Ang's slow start after the gunshot did indeed disappoint those who had high hopes for him, but this lag lasted only for a few breaths.
The standard for an international-level athlete in the five-kilometer race is 13 minutes and 31.45 seconds, but Li Ang's test was aimed at breaking the 13-minute mark, so right from the start, he welded his pace at 2 minutes and 36 seconds per kilometer.
A result of 2 minutes and 36 seconds, even in a one-kilometer test, is a top-level performance, not to mention maintaining such a speed for five consecutive kilometers.
So although Li Ang didn't start off too seriously, within a few breaths, he had already overtaken them.
"No way, is he already in first place?"
Someone exclaimed in astonishment.
