Recently, in the men's 60m final of the 2022 British Indoor Championships, Adam Thomas created a PB with a time of 6.56 seconds and won the championship, and Andrew Robertson ran 6.58 seconds to finish second, which can be seen that the overall level of the players in this race is not high.
At the beginning of the race, Adam Thomas did not have a great advantage at the start, he was in a backward state in the early stages, he continued to accelerate, and the whole process was struggling to catch up with his opponents until the last few meters were level with the first place, and the cross was 0.02 seconds faster than the second place. Although he was behind in the first half, his later form was also remarkable, and the explosive power of the final sprint helped him win the championship. The result of 6.56 seconds may not be outstanding in the international competitions in recent years, and the strength of the players in this competition does need to be further improved.
At present, the level of players in this game is low, and mainland players Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye can easily defeat them. In 2018, at the World Indoor Athletics Championships, Su Bingtian once again broke the Asian record in the men's 60 meters and won the silver medal in 6.42 seconds, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win a medal in the men's sprint at the World Championships, and also creating the best result of an Asian athlete in this event. In 2021, Su Bingtian set a new Asian record in the men's 100m semi-finals at the Tokyo Olympics with 9.83 seconds. The first 60 meters took only 6 seconds and 29 seconds! Currently, the 60m world record was set by American Coleman, with a time of 6.34 seconds. Su Bingtian was enshrined in the first world war in Tokyo, and all countries were impressed.
Xie Zhenye's main event is the 200-meter sprint, and his best time in the 60-meter event is 6.52 seconds. 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. In the final schedule of the men's sprint 100 meters and 200 meters, it is difficult to see asians, but in the past international competitions, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye ran well, drawing a strong stroke for the mainland's athletics career. Maybe we have a gap in talent, but the hard work of the day after tomorrow can also bring us more hope.
No matter what the time, no matter what the ranking, every achievement is the hard work of the athletes, and we respect the efforts of each athlete. In the future, we will pay attention to the performance of players from all over the world, and we also hope that the mainland players can get better and better, and the Chinese flyers will cheer up!
