Asia's Fastest Man: Su Bingtian May Have Run His Last 100m

Su Bingtian, widely celebrated as Asia's Fastest Man, has been a trailblazer for Chinese and Asian athletics. The 35-year-old sprinter made history by becoming the first Asian to break the 10-second barrier in the men's 100 meters and set an Asian record of 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where he became the first Asian to reach the Olympic 100m final since 1932.

Su's remarkable achievements have inspired a new generation of sprinters across Asia. However, recent news from April 2025 suggests that Su may have run his last 100 meters after a challenging performance at a domestic meet. While he has not officially announced his retirement, Su hinted that his illustrious sprinting career might be coming to an end.

Regardless of his next steps, Su Bingtian's legacy as Asia's Fastest Man is secure, and his impact on the sport will be felt for years to come.
