This past weekend, the Chinese sprinting team attacked again and went all out to attack the Paris Olympic qualifiers.
In the men's 4x100m relay of the East Coast Relay Race that ended in the United States, the Chinese men's relay team won the championship with a speed of 38.28 seconds, which was 0.01 seconds faster than the winning result in the Hangzhou Asian Games.
After the game, due to the failure to update the information on the official website of the event in time, the outside world mistakenly thought that Su Bingtian "played" and led the Chinese team to win the championship. In fact, Yan Haibin from Guangxi formed a new Chinese men's relay lineup with Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang and Chen Jiapeng.
Considering that this is the last warm-up match before the Bahamas World Relay, this lineup is likely to be the final lineup of the Chinese team.

In the upcoming May Day holiday, the Chinese sprinting team will usher in an important Olympic qualifying event - the Bahamas World Relay Championships.
On the final list announced by the IAAF, the Chinese team sent 6 men and 6 women to participate, the men's team includes Chen Jiapeng, Deng Zhijian, Su Bingtian, Wu Zhiqiang, Xie Zhenye, Yan Haibin, and the women's team is composed of Ge Manqi, Li Yuting, Liang Xiaojing, Liu Guoyi, Wei Yongli, and Yuan Qiqi.
It is worth mentioning that on the official poster of the event, Su Bingtian, as the Asian men's 100m record holder, became the only Chinese athlete selected.
At present, Su Bingtian is preparing for the tournament with the Chinese team. However, his absence from yesterday's men's relay race has raised concerns about Su Bingtian's Olympic quota.
In China's lineup yesterday, Wu Zhiqiang and Xie Zhenye were teammates who had played alongside Su Bingtian and won the bronze medal in the men's relay at the Tokyo Olympics.
Teenager Chen Jiapeng became famous in the final of the Asian Games in Hangzhou last year, helping the Chinese men's relay team beat Japan in 38.29 seconds and won the championship.
Yan Haibin was also the main member of the Asian Games last year, and now he can enter the main lineup of the highly competitive Chinese men's relay team, Yan Haibin has proved his strength.

At present, it is still a question whether Su Bingtian can enter the main squad of the Bahamas.
In the individual event, in the men's 100-meter competition that ended yesterday, there were world-famous athletes, including the Tokyo Olympics men's 100-meter champion Jacobs, the third runner-up De Grasse and other sprinters.
The Chinese team sent all the main forces to play, and in the end, Xie Zhenye ranked fourth with 10.139 seconds, becoming the best player of the Chinese team.
Wu Zhiqiang ran 10.17 seconds, and Su Bingtian, the Asian record holder (9.83 seconds), ran 10.50 seconds.
De Grasse finished first in 10.103 seconds, Tokyo Olympic champion Jacobs ran 10.106 seconds, and Bromel was third.
Xie Zhenye finished fourth in the 100 meters
Since the men's 100m standard for the Paris Olympics is 10 seconds (until June 30), there is still a big challenge for Su Bingtian to enter the lineup for the Paris Olympics.
Previously, Xie Zhenye had already qualified for the Olympic Games by virtue of running 20.15 seconds in the 200 meters, reaching the participation standard of the Paris Olympic Games with an advantage of 0.01 seconds.
