Do you know Su Bingtian? He is a Chinese runner. He was born in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province on August 20th, 1989.

Known as China's fastest man, Su Bingtian made history and brought an unforgettable moment to the world in the summer of 2021. On Aug 1, Su set a new record of 9. 83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics Men's 100m semifinals, which made him the first Chinese runner to enter the event's final round.

For a long time, some people thought that Asian people were not physically built for sprinting. Su's success shows it's not true.

However, it was not easy for Su to succeed. Because of being hurt, Su had to stop running for several years. Later, he came back to the track and trained even harder than before.

He realized that finishing the semifinal in less than 10 seconds would earn him a chance to enter the final competition. To encourage himself, Su set a personal goal of 9. 89 seconds in 2012. He even made this number his password for his phone and computer. Luckily, his efforts paid off.

On March 3rd, 2022, he was honored in annual Touching China awards. "I am so proud of my result. I can write my name into history now and I will work harder and run faster. I hope my performance today will encourage more people."
