Admit that you really can't run! Su Bingtian may not be able to participate in the men's 100m at the 2025 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao National Games

You may not see "Asian Flyer" Su Bingtian participating in the men's 100m at the 2025 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao National Games. In the first leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix last Friday (11th), Su Bingtian ran 10.49 seconds in the men's 100m preliminary race to advance, but said that "it may be my last 100m race" and missed the semi-finals last Saturday (12th). Although Su Bingtian participated in the 4x100m relay on Sunday (13th) and won gold for the Guangdong team, his current time has not reached the standard of 10.11 seconds in the men's 100m at the National Games, and he admits that he really can't run.

Su Bingtian participated in the men's 100m preliminary round of the first stop of the National Track and Field Grand Prix last Friday and advanced to the top of the competition

The first stop of the National Athletics Grand Prix was held in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and in the men's 100m preliminary race last Friday, 35-year-old Su Bingtian ran 10.49 seconds, ranking 21st among all runners, and narrowly advanced to the semi-finals with 24 places. However, he did not show up for Saturday's semi-final, giving up the 100m run, presumably in order to save on Sunday's 4x100m relay. He represented Guangdong in the 4x100m relay and won the championship with teammates Liu Hongxi, Yau Zhixian and Yan Haibin in 39.25 seconds.

Although he hopes to bid farewell to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau National Games, with his current results and his tone, it is likely that he will not be able to compete in the men's 100m at the National Games, or he will only be able to compete in the relay race. Because according to the requirements of the National Games, the men's 100m standard time is 10.11 seconds, which is some distance from the 10.49 seconds that Su Bingtian ran last week.

Su Bingtian is the current Asian record holder in the men's 100m, having run 9.83 seconds in the semi-finals at Tokyo 2021.

"The National Athletics Grand Prix is a test for me to see how I'm doing." Su Bingtian said that he may have finished the last 100m in his life, he said: "Whether it is the result of this race, or the 100m in May, June and July, the difference is not very big, so if the results in this race are good, there will be the next race, if the situation is not very ideal, it may be my last 100m." ”

"If we can't continue to give the team an advantage, I don't think there's any need to keep going. I used to say that I would run until I couldn't run, and I did, and now I really can't run. Su Bingtian said in an interview with the People's Daily: "I have tried my best to do what I can persist and do, and I have no regrets in my sports career." ”

"I never thought that a child from the countryside would one day become the fastest person in the 100 meters in Asia." Su Bingtian said that he began to change his role and train young athletes, he said: "Everyone has infinite possibilities, and young people must dare to pay, dare to fight, and dare to break through in the process of chasing their dreams." ”
