In the just-concluded men's 100m final of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Su Bingtian ran 9.98 seconds and finished sixth, creating a new history of Chinese athletics!
In the semi-finals held not long ago, Su Bingtian ran a good time of 9.83 seconds, breaking the Asian record and becoming the first Chinese athlete to reach the men's 100 meters final of the Olympic Games.
But many people don't know that the first Chinese athlete to stand on the Olympic field participated in the men's 100 meters of athletics, his name is Liu Changchun, it is he who told the world: The Olympic Games, China is coming!
On July 30, 1932, the 10th Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, USA, and the 23-year-old Liu Changchun became the first Chinese to stand on the Olympic field. At that time, Poor and Weak China almost couldn't even get his travel expenses. Due to the turbulence at sea for 22 days, there was no suitable training ground, coupled with seasickness and vomiting, Liu Changchun's state was greatly reduced, and he missed the final.
From Liu Changchun's single-knife attendance at the meeting, to the team of hundreds of athletes in the Olympic Arena today; from 0 medals, to the five-star red flag flying again and again, the march of the volunteer army is played again and again. Generations of Chinese athletes have gone through 89 years of relay! Today's China is no longer the China of 1932; today's Olympic arena should be as Liu Changchun wishes!
