Xinhua Headlines: 'Su-per' fast Su Bingtian is China's bolt in red
With three victories out of as many events, with the top two world leading 60-meter results under his belt, Su Bingtian's build up for the 2019 outdoor season has been remarkable.To get more su bingtian, you can visit shine news official website.
With both the 100-meter Asian record and 60m continental indoor record to his name as well as numerous national and international titles to his name, the 'Su-per' fast Chinese sprinter has already set his eyes on a new target - becoming the first Asian to break through the 9.90-second barrier.
"For now my aim is to run under 9.90s," said Su, who believes that the Chinese 100m national record can be cut to around 9.85s one day in the foreseeable future, even if he might not be able to achieve such a goal himself.
"It would be difficult for me to go sub-9.90. But it is possible. I need to be in my best shape and also need to wait for the right time, the right place as well as the right weather conditions. This will be my primary goal in the next one or two years," the fastest man in the world's most populous country said.
Born in a small village in China's southeastern province of Guangdong in 1989, the hometown of many of the country's top-level sprinters in different generations, Su showed a great talent, along with explosive and elastic strength, at an early age.
He was selected for the provincial team at the age of 17 and started to train under the guidance of his former coach Yuan Guoqiang, who set China's first national record in the digital timing era of 10.52.
As Yuan and Su are both from Guangdong and both speak Cantonese, a dialect Su tends to use when communicating with his family and local peers, the same cultural background and smooth communication led to a quick chemistry between the two. He improved his personal best by 0.31 seconds in three years since 2006 and won in 11 tournaments including the Asian Indoor Games and the East Asian Games in what was only his first year as a senior athlete in 2009.
He broke the national indoor record for the first time in 2011 and went on to smash the 13-year-long 100m national record by clocking 10.16s at the National Championships in April of that year. In the following year, Su became the first Chinese to reach the 100m semifinals at the Olympic Games in London.
The year of 2013 turned out to be a major setback for Su. Although he managed to better his PB to 10.06s, he lost his national record to Zhang Peimeng, who dashed to 10.00s in the semifinal round of the World Championships in Moscow to grab the limelight and went on to beat Su in the 100m at the National Games in September.
The rivalry between Zhang and him spurred Su to make a bold technique change after the 2014 season. He changed his way of starting by using his left foot, instead of the right foot he had used since the very beginning of his career.
On May 30, 2015, Su sprinted to a national record of 9.99s at the IAAF Diamond League Eugene meeting, ending generations of wait to become the first Chinese to go sub-10 seconds.
Three months later, he clocked 9.99s once again. This time he accomplished the feat on his home soil in front of some 80,000 jubilant spectators in the country's iconic Bird's Nest stadium en route to becoming the first Asian sprinter ever to reach the 100m final at the IAAF World Championships.
Paced by the in-form Su, the Chinese 4x100m relay team also notched a landmark silver medal at the 2015 Worlds in Beijing. Since the relay final was staged on August 29, Su's 26th birthday, the Happy Birthday song rose from the packed stands turning the Chinese sprinters' victorious march around the track into a grand birthday party.
