Su Bingtian ran into the record books at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on August 1.He became the first Chinese to enter the men's 100 m final (决赛) at the Olympics. And with 9.83 seconds in the 100 m semi﹣final (半决赛),he set a new Asian record.
Although he finished sixth,Su recorded a time of 9.98 seconds in the final,0.18 seconds behind the winner Lamont Marcell Jacobs of Italy,who clocked 9.80 seconds. "Actually,I am very happy to run under 10 seconds twice in such a short time. Making it into the finals,I have already given all I have," Su said after the race.
The last Chinese track﹣and﹣field athlete(田径运动员)to make history at the Olympics was Liu Xiang. Liu won a gold medal in the men's 110 m hurdles (跨栏赛)in Athens in 2004 and brought China its first Olympic gold medal in a men's track﹣and﹣field event.
"If it wasn't for Liu Xiang's achievement,we'd never have thought that an Asian would step on the Olympic track﹣and﹣field final and even win the race,"Su said. "I hope my sixth place at the Olympic final will encourage more Chinese athletes to go forward."
