The Asian 100m record generally refers to the record of the 100-meter sprint event in athletics, divided into men's 100 meters and women's 100 meters.
This sport has a short distance and requires strong explosiveness, which can be said to be a symbolic sport of a country's sports strength.
1. Asian 100m (men') record holder - Su Bingtian
Su Bingtian is a Chinese athlete.
Prior to the Tokyo Olympics, China's Su Bingtian held the Asian record of 9.91 seconds along with Siah Augustoult.
Until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian ran a staggering 9.83 seconds in the Olympic men's 100m semifinals on August 1, breaking the Asian record and making history.
Not only did he make history in the 100m sprint, but he also made history in another men's 4x100 relay with his teammates in 4th place. The top three selectors after the game, who used illicit drugs, are under review, and if the results are ruled invalid, Su Bingtian and his teammates may win the bronze medal in the Olympic relay race, which will create more history.
2. Asian 100 meters (women') record holder - Li Xuemei
Li Xuemei is a Chinese athlete.
At the 8th National Games held in Shanghai, Li Xuemei ran a score of 10.79, setting a record for the highest in Asia in the women's 100 meters.
