-

China’s top sprinter Su Bingtian stormed into first place in the men’s 100-meter race with 10.09 seconds at the 2017 Shanghai Diamond League on May 14.

Chinese national record- holder Su, who boasts a career best of 9.99 seconds, sprinted to a season best of 10.09 seconds to take the gold, becoming the first Chinese to win the event at an IAAF Diamond League meeting.

“I ran faster than I had expected,” said Su, 27, who was the first Chinese to reach the world men’s 100-meter race final in 2015 IAAF World Championsh­ips in Beijing. “Since the London World Championsh­ips is still months away, I will not think too much about it now and just hone my skills and keep a steady form,” said Su.
