China's sprint sensation Su Bingtian has announced he won't be in the lineup for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. 😢 After two years of battling injuries and missing out on regular training, Su's absence will definitely be felt on the track.
Currently, the Chinese men’s track and field relay team, led by Xie Zhenye, is gearing up in Italy for the big event. Su hasn't been able to join them due to his setbacks, which also made him miss the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou and several other competitions.
Remember when Su broke the Asian men's 100-meter record with an incredible 9.83 seconds in the semifinals at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021? That was epic! He finished sixth in the final, but his performance was nothing short of legendary.
Su shared a heartfelt message to his teammates: \"I want to tell the Chinese national relay team that, though I can't be there on the track to race by your side, I want to send my wishes and my energy to you. I hope you can reach the final at the Paris Olympics and enjoy the happiness of the race. I hope you can surpass yourselves, achieve a good result, and make our country proud. Best wishes.\"
Team China snagged the men's 4×100-meter relay bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics and already secured their spot for Paris. Let's cheer them on as they aim for greatness! 🇨🇳🏃♂️💨
