1: Qian Xingsu (Shanghai Jiading)
In the history of male and female sprinting in old China, known as "South Qian Bei Liu", Shanghai female Qian Xingsu, known as the "short-legged female tiger", is a female flyer comparable to Dalian's male running king Liu Changchun, and she is the first true sprint queen in the history of Chinese women's sprinting. At the 5th National Games in 1933, she won four championships in the 100m, 200m, 80m hurdles, 4×100m relay and overall points, breaking four national records and becoming the undisputed queen of sprinting in the early 1930s.
