　　"I think China's sprinting should take a higher level in the future." Su Bingtian, a famous Chinese men's 100-meter sprinter and associate professor of the School of Sports of Jinan University, said in an interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com recently that he is optimistic about the future of China's sprinting.

　　With the help of famous players such as Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye to continuously achieve excellent results in the international arena, the attention of the outside world to China's sprint has increased to an unprecedented height.

Su Bingtian said that in the sprint project, there are currently many good models in China, including the mode that breaks 100 meters in 10 seconds, and the mode that breaks in 200 meters in 20 seconds. Now there is a better platform for 4x100 meters.

　　"Everyone's level has improved." Su Bingtian said. Judging from the performance of young athletes this year, as long as we continue to grasp the performance of young athletes in this event, we will give them more opportunities and a broader vision. The future will be better.

　　He believes that the current talent pool of China's sprint project may be slightly weak, but this is not important. What is important is that China is coming out of the trough in this project and moving to the peak.

"I think in this process, it will definitely attract more young athletes to fall in love with this project, so that they can find their dreams and direction here."

　　Speaking of expectations for younger generations, Su Bingtian said that the most important thing is mentality, dreams and persistence. You must always keep in mind your career goals. "When you reach a certain level, there will definitely be a lot of things coming to you. At this time, you have to shield some outside interference. , Remember your goals and walk your own way, rather than socializing to anyone."

　　Su Bingtian ran a new Asian record of 9.83 seconds on the men's 100-meter track at the Tokyo Olympics and became the first Chinese to reach the final.

"It's also that I am more stubborn, more persistent, and this year, it may be incredible to many people." Su Bingtian said.

He is 32 years old this year and has already passed the golden age for ordinary sprinters to retire, but he said: "As long as you don't leave the track for a day, you won't stop being attached to the track."

　　As the Olympic "three dynasty veteran", Su Bingtian said frankly that this should be the last time he participated in the Olympics.

"I participated in the Olympics for the first time in 2012, and I just tried it with a learning attitude. In the 2016 Olympics, I regretted that I didn't make it to the final due to injury. The Tokyo Olympics was the one with the highest expectations. After all, I am getting older. Too many is a test. Fortunately, during the epidemic, I did not give up. I persevered and finally achieved good results. This may be God’s favor to me. At the same time, I want to thank the Chinese track and field team for their help and care. "Su Bingtian said.

　　He said that preparing for the Tokyo Olympics has made a lot of effort. "Our dietitians and new teaching assistants have been added to the new team, which has given us a great help to the entire team, allowing us to train more worry-free and focused. During the process, we cooperated very well. Because of their support, I can constantly strive for better results."

　　Although new achievements in Chinese track and field were created at the Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian still has regrets in his heart, "The relay is really a good opportunity for us, but the greater the opportunity, the mentality will happen. Changes, not ideal in the finals, in fact, our strength should be in the top three."

　　Su Bingtian hopes that future young athletes will continue to climb on the basis of his achievements.

He looked forward to the appearance of the next "Su Bingtian" in Chinese track and field.

He said that he would return to the university to teach.

"I hope to teach by example, and to turn the training concepts and competition experience I have learned into a story to the students of the school. For the future, I would like to use the platform of Jinan University to do things like'Su Bingtian's Dash Lab'. Some research allows young athletes to learn on this platform.” Su Bingtian said.
