In just one year, Su Bingtian has gone from being the first flying man in Asia, "Su Shen", to the "lost god" in the mouths of netizens, what has he experienced?
At the recent Eugene World Championships, Su Bingtian missed the final with a time of 10.30 seconds, so in the face of his loss, netizens carried out an unprecedented internet storm against him!
Black fans collectively left a message in the comment area, questioning whether Su Bingtian did not run out of the results he should have, and even some netizens said in a strange way that even if they played, they could take the "penultimate first" like Su Bingtian.
But is this really the case? To get the so-called "penultimate first" in this semi-final, in fact, Su Bingtian is not easy.
As the debut after the National Games, Su Bingtian received the attention of all track and field fans as soon as he debuted, and in the preliminary round, Su Bingtian's play made fans squeeze their breath, and finally among the 24 people who advanced, he advanced to the semifinals with a slight advantage of 0.003.
The whole game was thrilling, and it can be said that in the preliminaries alone, Su Bingtian had already played very easily.
In a group of rising stars, his 30-something veteran is obviously not dominant, and the competitive level of professional players will decline with age, not to mention that in a group of black people, Su Bingtian himself does not have a natural racial advantage, coupled with the cause of injury, which directly leads to Su Bingtian's poor state.
However, the black fans who only value the results feel that they have caught Su Bingtian's handle, and they still collect his defeats in various competitions in the past, and even organize it into memes to mock Su Bingtian in the comment area.
And those unknown netizens have also followed the trend to besiege him, causing Su Bingtian to apologize to fans in public.
Seeing Su Bingtian's encounter, many netizens can't help but think of Liu Xiang at that time.
Liu Xiang was the last athlete to perform miracles for the yellow race in the world before Su Bingtian, and in 2004, he broke the history with a time of 12.91 seconds and won the first gold medal in China's men's athletics event, when he became a myth among the 1.3 billion people.
However, only four years later, Liu Xiang announced his retirement at the race at his doorstep due to injury, and for a time, he changed from the original champion to the "Liu Run" in the mouths of netizens, and malice and doubt followed.
In 2021, Su Bingtian broke the Asian record at the Tokyo Olympic Games and became a recognized Su god, and Liu Xiang, who has endured more than a decade of Internet violence, was finally remembered at this moment and received a long-lost apology.
Unexpectedly, only one year later, Liu Xiang's experience was repeated on Su Bingtian, and the black fans only saw Su Bingtian's failure, but ignored how difficult it was for him to create achievements.
Ordinary people's 100-meter race results are about 13 seconds to 15 seconds, but Su Bingtian can run into 10 seconds, and the best time he created 9.83 seconds is not in human history, so he can be called "Su Shen".
And those black fans' so-called "I can go and get the bottom one" is even more impossible, because they will not even have the qualifications for selection.
And seeing that Su Bingtian's achievements are black, the trolls have changed the angle to his endorsement, questioning whether Su Bingtian has lost the performance because he has received too many endorsements.
Signing 13 commercial endorsements a year, with an annual income of more than 10 million, is Su Bingtian's game defeat really because of drifting?
Since making Asian history at the Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian's attention has increased dramatically, and his status as an Asian flyer and university professor has made him the darling of commercial capital.
So since then, Xiaomi, GAC Trumpchi, Jindian and other commercial endorsements have also found him, just signed a 1-year contract with Xiaomi, the endorsement fee is as high as 5.2 million yuan, counting the total income of all endorsements, a year can exceed 10 million.
In addition, Su Bingtian has also appeared on many variety shows, and there has been a wave of self-deprecation in talk shows, and the income is also very impressive.
In addition to his status as an athlete, he is also an associate professor at Jinan University, with an annual salary of between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan, plus the athlete's state allowance and the prize money of major events, Su Bingtian's personal value has already exceeded tens of millions.
Some netizens also broke the news that Su Bingtian bought a 22 million mansion as early as a year ago, and specially invited a professional team to decorate.
However, it is precisely because of too much income that Su Bingtian was once questioned by many netizens, and many people felt that it was precisely because of this that he led to a decline in his competitive level, but is this really the case?
As the debut of this year, Su Bingtian has not participated in any events before this, and netizens familiar with the competition know that sprinting projects must be warmed up one after another to gradually improve their level.
After arriving in Eugene, Su Bingtian also suffered a fever and knee injury, resulting in several games in the plan, and he could run into 10 seconds in the first race, which was not easy for Su Bingtian himself.
In terms of endorsements and income, in fact, many chinese Super League first-line players can reach an annual income level of 20 or 30 million, Su Bingtian's income from an endorsement can only be counted as a fraction of them, and the results they have created are far less dazzling than Su Bingtian.
Compared with the stars with a daily salary of 2.08 million, Su Bingtian's tens of millions of net worth is not worth mentioning, and his hard-working income for a year can not catch up with a small endorsement.
Stars can hold tens of millions of assets just by relying on the brainless pursuit of traffic and fans, and why can't athletes who are still plagued by injuries and illnesses win glory for the country?
Su Bingtian's endorsement is indeed a lot, but this is what he has bought with more than ten years of athletics career, and every honor on his body is worth enjoying today's treatment.
Fortunately, when Su Bingtian suffered from the Internet violence, many official media successively spoke out for Su Bingtian, and righteous netizens also spontaneously helped Su Bingtian clarify, vowing not to let the Liu Xiang incident of that year be staged again.
After all, no one in competitive sports can be a winning general, and when Su Bingtian's past achievements were listed one by one, the trolls finally had no words!
At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian created Asian history with a time of 9.83 seconds, which ranked 13th in the history of sprinting in the world, and it is worth mentioning that the 12 athletes before him were all black!
And Su Bingtian created this achievement at the age of 32, and even the world flyer Bolt has already passed his peak at this age.
However, to get this result, Su Bingtian has not been easy along the way!
Before entering the provincial team, Su Bingtian's performance reached 10.59 seconds, but until a few years later, his performance did not run within 10 seconds, and sometimes he ran slower and slower.
He had competed with Bolt in the London Olympics, and in front of Bolt, who was 1.96 meters tall, Su Bingtian, who was only 1.71 meters tall, had no advantage at all, because Bolt's 42-step 100-meter schedule required 47 steps to finish.
In order to improve his 0.08 seconds, it took him 3 years to make a breakthrough, so in order to change the running rhythm, he changed the original right foot start to the left foot, and in order to adapt to this habit, he spent a whole year.
In 2015, Su Bingtian ran 9 seconds for the first time and was the first Asian athlete to run 9 seconds, and since then he has begun to break his own world records again and again.
But despite his persistence for more than a decade, he didn't really win the first gold medal in a major competition until 2018.
It is worth mentioning that Su Bingtian first chose to run, not because he loved the project, but because he avoided making up classes.
In the second year of junior high school, Su Bingtian was asked by the teacher to stay in school for tuition because of his unsatisfactory grades, and this news was no less than a "bad news" for Su Bingtian, so he resolutely joined the school's track and field team, and since then he has had a bright and just reason to avoid tuition.
However, what he did not expect was that an unintentional move at the beginning actually made him the "Asian trapeze" today.
When his wife gave birth, Su Bingtian was still on the plane back to China, so that the people of the whole country knew that he had a son, only he did not know the news, and he became the last person to know that he was a father.
But despite the absence of his wife's pregnancy and the birth of his son, Su Bingtian still only accompanied his wife for 5 days before he had to return to the team, for him, fighting the field and fighting for the country is the biggest reward for his wife.
Those who deny Su Shen's efforts because of a single achievement can only say that they like only the reputation of the champion, not the real sports, and hope that fans can look at the athlete's performance more objectively, so as not to make an athlete who wins glory for the country feel cold!
