[quote="supraman"]He didnt win but he did the unthinkable and ran 9.83, truly an amazing achievement by a non africam descent runner. the gold medalist himself looks half african.

guys like su biantian, ohtani in baseball, inoue and pacquiao in boxing are breaking barriers for asians.
a generation ago, those achievements were unthinkable for asians, but now asians are proving to be great athele tes.

Su actually ran 9.81 in the semifinals. They rounded his time up to 9.83 after the race. 9.81 would have been good enough to win gold in every olympics before the 2008 olympics in Beijing. Maybe the person who rounded his time up by 0.02 seconds was racist in increased his time by 0.02 seconds. Su ran faster than Ben Johnson on steroids in 1988 and faster than Donovan Bailey in 1996 faster than Gatlin in 2004

China 4x100m Relay team advanced to the Finals by beating USA in the qualifying heat.

Then in the finals, Team China even beat out Team Jamaica. but finished 0.09 seconds out of a medal to finish in 4th.

The top three countries, Italy, Great Britain and Canada all "cheated" by recruiting black sprinters.


Japan, which got a silver in 2016 in this event, didn't finish this race because one runner got muscle cramps.

Looks like a runner from Great Britain cheated by doping. So it looks possible, the Chinese 4x100m relay team will get the bronze -- first time in China history. This would mean, Su Bingtian will earn an olympic medal.
