Chinese sprint legend Su Bingtian, Asia’s fastest man with a record-shattering 9.83-second 100m dash, has announced his plans to retire after the 2025 National Games. The event, co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, will mark the end of an era for the 35-year-old trailblazer who redefined athletics in Asia. 🏟️
Su, who made history as the first Chinese sprinter to reach an Olympic 100m final (Tokyo 2020), confirmed his decision while expressing pride in representing his hometown and the Greater Bay Area. “I want to give my all one last time,” said the Guangdong-born athlete, who recently resumed training after recovering from an injury that kept him out of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Fans will remember Su’s iconic Tokyo performances: his Asian-record semifinal sprint 🔥 and anchoring China’s 4x100m relay team to a historic bronze 🥉. While his Paris dreams were sidelined, his focus now shifts to mentoring younger athletes and closing his career on home soil. 🏅
