August 1, 2021, a day that not only left a colorful mark in the history of athletics in China, but also a landmark moment in the history of global athletics and Asian sports.
On that day, a dark-haired, yellow-skinned son of the East, carrying the pride of all Asia, stood
the Olympics
The arena for the 100 meter flyer final.
His name is Su Bingtian, and with a stunning 9:83, he set his own Asian record of 9:91, and advanced to the semifinals as the No. 1 semifinalist in the
the Olympics
Men's 100 meter final!
On the day of the final, Su Bingtian was firmly in the sixth lane, which was the very runway that had witnessed Bolt's glory. He shouldered the pride of his countrymen and the honor of Asians, and stood on this extreme stage of speed.
Su gave it his all and finished in 6th place with a time of 9'98. For the soon-to-be 32-year-old, it was the ultimate challenge.
Just how god is Su Bingtian? His 9'83 time in the semifinals was only 0.08 seconds faster than the Asian record, almost a match. Outside of black athletes, Su's speed is already the fastest. This achievement is the 13th fastest in human history, if in the Sydney Olympics, Athens Olympics, such a result is enough to win the title, in the Beijing Olympics, Rio Olympics, can also pick up the silver medal.
He also became the first Asian to stand on the stage of the Olympic 100-meter flyer final in the era of electric records.
During the two hours we waited for the final, we almost reveled in imagining Su holding a medal, or even a gold medal.
Su Bingtian's success proves once again that yellow people can also break the limit. Previously, it was thought that the 100 meter limit for Asian yellows was 9:85, but Su Bingtian's performance has rewritten that perception once again.
Some netizens humorously analogized that Su Bingtian's entry into the Olympic 100-meter flyer final is equivalent to the

On second thought.

The top 8 may indeed be a "lifetime series", and within Asia, even Japan's results are just

Top 16 (Korea's top 4 goes without saying, if you know what I mean).
But Su's achievement at least shows us that the innate superiority of ethnicity in certain sports is not insurmountable. It used to be said in soccer that Asians couldn't play either, but Japan is breaking that bias step by step.2018

Top 8 is just a step away...
However, the problem with Chinese soccer has not actually reached the point where we need to spell out the human race. Our soccer workout methods, selection criteria, youth training system, and the development of domestic leagues are all still in relative disarray.
Once again, Su Bingtian, who briefly retired in 2017, did not realize that his previous sprinting was "blind practice" until he went to train abroad. Subsequently, the national team introduced foreign advanced biology experts, specializing in analysis and guidance for Su Bingtian, every detail must be perfect. This is the casting of 9 seconds 83 of China's "Su" degree.
We can't help but wonder.

You can really break in.
