Since Xu Haifeng won the first Olympic gold medal in 1984, China's sports industry has developed rapidly, And China's sports stars are also emerging in an endless stream, and in athletics competitions, Liu Xiang was once the pride of China, known as the Flying Man, and now after Liu Xiang retired, China's top ten hundred meter flyers once again shouldered the burden of China's athletics industry.
Su Bingtian
Su Bingtian, as the first person in China's current 100-meter trapeze list, is very strong, and has won gold and silver in the World Athletics Federation's Diamond League and World Challenge. On August 1 last year, Su Bingtian set a new Asian record in the men's 100m semifinals at the Tokyo Olympics with 9.83 seconds. Su Bingtian's achievements are very dazzling, and he is also the well-deserved first person of China's 100-meter trapeze.
Wu Zhiqiang
Wu Zhiqiang, as the only northerner on China's 100-meter trapeze list, his strength is also not to be underestimated, as a Man who came out of the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, he also has a very high talent for athletics. He won the domestic championship several times, and formed a relay team with Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and Tang Xingqiang to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games and won the fourth place. Unfortunately, it did not win medals in international competitions, but it was well deserved to be second in the rankings.
Xie Zhenye
Xie Zhenye, also a famous Chinese sprinter, has a good performance in the Diamond League of the World Athletics Federation, the Asian Games and even the Olympic Games, breaking the Asian record at the 4*100 relay at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. In the men's 200m of the 2019 IAAF Diamond League London, Xie Zhenye won the championship with a time of 19.88 seconds, breaking his national record of 20.16 seconds and the Asian record of 19.97 seconds held by Qatari naturalized athlete Augustoult, becoming the first yellow race to break the 20-second mark. Xie Zhenye's results are also amazing, but there is still some gap with the top two.
Chen Guanfeng
Chen Guanfeng, as a rising star of the Guangdong athletics team, is also very strong, and has won the championship of domestic small competitions many times, because he has not won awards in international competitions, so he is in the fourth place in the rankings, but his potential is huge, and the future can be expected!
Strict waterfront
Although Yan Haibin is a post-00s young player, his strength is still not to be underestimated, and he won the championship in 2021 in 20.64 seconds at the National Games qualification tournament, and was selected as a athlete in the Sports And Athletics Delegation of the Tokyo Olympic Games in July of the same year. In September of the same year, he won the silver medal in the 4*100 relay race of the National Games.
Xu Zhouzheng, Tang Xingqiang, Huang Yonglian, Liang Jinsheng and Yang Yang, as the top ten players on the list, are also southerners, but why is the gap between the north and the south of China so large that there is only one northerner in the top ten track and field athletes in China?
First of all, probably because of the climate, the south is more humid, hot and rainy, the climate is mild, and it is more suitable for sprint training. Secondly, China's north-south latitude span is very large, compared to northerners, southerners live in a climate and environment closer to the tropics, which makes the muscle structure of southerners more similar to black people, more explosive. As a result, the gap between the performance of the north and south of China in the sprint is too large.
Nowadays, northerners have also begun to conduct winter training in the south, and I believe that in the near future, athletes from northern China will definitely be able to achieve better results in the field of sprinting. Let's wait and see.
