Recently, in the World Athletics Federation Intercontinental Tour in Italy, the Chinese men's 100m relay team won the championship and ran a good time of 39.74 seconds, nearly 3 seconds ahead of the second place, and still crushed the whole process. You know, last year's Tokyo Olympic champion Italy team, the total result was 37.50 seconds, and the Chinese team's performance was 37.79 seconds. According to this momentum, when the Paris Olympics are over, the Chinese team still has the hope of reaching the final. It is worth mentioning that among the 4 Chinese players participating in the competition, there is no Su Bingtian figure, and we see a new face, his name is Chen Guanfeng.
The game entered the rhythm of the Chinese team at the beginning, and among the 4 team members, Tang Xingqiang was the oldest at the age of 27 and had the most experience in the game. At the Tokyo Olympics last year, Tang Xingqiang created a good result with his teammates, and won the bronze medal in March this year. Under the leadership of Tang Xingqiang, 3 young generals who were only about 20 years old joined forces, Chen Guanfeng was 21 years old, Deng Zhijian was 20 years old, and Yan Haibin was only 19 years old. In the end, the 4 team members did not disappoint, the overall performance was very good, and also let the outside world see the future of the Chinese athletics team.
Post-00 athlete Chen Guanfeng is the gold medalist of the 2019 National Championship 100 meters relay, and is from the Guangdong team like Su Bingtian. In the past two years of national events, Chen Guanfeng has risen rapidly and has become a strong contender for the championship of the 100-meter event. At last month's Athletics World Championships, Chen Guanfeng and Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and Tang Xingqiang formed a relay team and ran a time of 38.825 seconds, but unfortunately failed to reach the final. This is Chen Guanfeng's first time on the stage of the World Championships, and his overall performance is very outstanding, and he has been regarded as Su Bingtian's successor. In this IAAF Intercontinental Tour in Italy, Chen Guanfeng played quite well, and the reason why the Chinese team was able to win the championship can be said to be the biggest contributor! Moreover, his age is only 21 years old this year, and after Su Bingtian retires, he will carry the banner of China's 100 meters!
It is worth mentioning that in the history of Chinese athletics, only 4 team members ran 100 meters into 10 seconds 10, the top 3 were Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and Zhang Peimeng, and the 4th was Chen Guanfeng. Considering that Chen Guanfeng is only 21 years old, the best result has reached 10.06 seconds, he still has a broad space for development, and the future will run into the 10-second mark, and even hit the world championship podium like Su Bingtian, the opportunity is very large. Two years later, at the Paris Olympics, Chen Guanfeng is likely to get the opportunity to play, hoping that he can take over the mantle of Su Bingtian and support the Chinese men's track and field.
Su Bingtian has always been a representative of Chinese athletics, especially after the Tokyo Olympics shined, his name has gone down in history. But it cannot be denied that Su Bingtian is old, and his physical condition can certainly not be compared with that of young people, and he did not make a final in the men's 100m semifinals at last month's World Championships. Su Bingtian said after the game that he was not prepared enough and did not play as well as he wanted, and he would sum it up well when he returned. In the past two years, young talents have emerged from the Chinese track and field team, and I hope that more outstanding athletes like Chen Guanfeng will stand on the world stage in the future.
