On Thursday, Nov 20, 2025, at the Chinese mainland's National Games, sprint legend Su Bingtian, 36, closed the curtain on a 21-year career by racing in the men's 4x100m relay. Teaming up with Liu Hongxi, Shi Junhao and Chen Guanfeng, the Guangdong team clocked 38.71s
—just 0.03s off the podium after a baton handoff hiccup. 🏃♂️💨
The gold went to Hubei, led by newly crowned 100m champ Li Zeyang in 38.60s. Su9s experienced legs ran the first leg with the same grit that brought him Asian records and world semifinal berths. 🔥
Post-race, emotions poured out. “Although I said goodbye today, I won9t leave the track that I love,” Su said. “I hope I can keep creating dreams for future sprinters and see them shine on the international stage from one generation to the next. Thank you.” 🙏
From smashing barriers to inspiring millions, Su Bingtian9s legacy is more than medals
—it9s the fire he lit in every young runner chasing gold. ✨
To all aspiring athletes: embrace your pace, push your limits, and carry the baton of your dreams forward. 🚀
