At the 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games' large-size 100m final, TianGong Ultra claimed gold with a 8.64-second run, setting another record, defending its title, and once again beating the human world-record time. TianGong took both gold and silver. The quote-tweeter marveled at the drama — red bots blowing a huge lead, a rapid late chase and a photo-finish defense — saying a bot 100m race has never been this exciting.
