  Su Bingtian, who has an almost demanding pursuit of technical details, has never stopped his footsteps.

From breaking through the 10-second mark for the first time in 2015, to making history and realizing the dream of the Tokyo Olympics, the 100-meter "flying man" interprets China's speed in the track and field.

  In fact, before being promoted to the vice chairman of the Chinese Athletics Association this time, Su Bingtian had already "taken multiple roles" in addition to his status as a track and field athlete.

  He is a member of the Athletes Working Committee of the World Athletics Federation and speaks out for the majority of athletes.

  "Thanks to the World Athletics Federation and the Chinese Athletics Team for their trust and support! I will cherish this hard-won opportunity, work hard to do this job well, live up to everyone's expectations, and speak out for the majority of athletes!" Talking about this honor , Su Bingtian prefers to call it a responsibility.

The unveiling ceremony of Su Bingtian Speed ​​Research and Training Center was held at Jinan University.

  He is an associate professor at the School of Physical Education of Jinan University, and his track and field courses are very popular.

  "When touching the ground, pull your feet up and then down. This may save 0.01 seconds..." After the 14th National Games, Su Bingtian, who had finished his one-year competition task, returned to the campus and said A unique running sharing class.

  At the end of 2021, the Su Bingtian Speed ​​Research and Training Center was inaugurated at Jinan University, focusing on the cutting-edge technology of track and field training.

  According to media reports, Su Bingtian has served as the vice chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Athletics Association in 2019.

  Also in Tokyo, Gong Lijiao, a famous Chinese women's shot put player, also made Chinese people proud.

  In the women's shot put final of the Tokyo Olympics, Gong Lijiao made the sixth throw.

With a personal best of 20.58 meters, he took the gold medal into his arms.

In her four Olympic journeys, she won her first gold medal and also helped Chinese track and field open the door to gold in the Tokyo Olympics.

  So far, Gong Lijiao has collected all three Olympic medals.

Breaking through the "21-meter mark" has become her next goal, which is also the driving force behind the veteran's hard work for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

  After the announcement of the track and field qualification plan for the Paris Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee took stock of the track and field stars who are worth looking forward to in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Among them, Gong Lijiao is impressively listed.

  One year later in Paris, this 30-year-old veteran is still worth looking forward to.

  In 2023, for Chinese track and field, it is full of opportunities and challenges.

After this "promotion", I believe that the two veterans who are still fighting on the field will lead China's track and field to a higher level.
