National Track and Field Team Announcement

Beijing time, August 30, 2015 evening.

The 2015 IAAF World Championships in Athletics concluded successfully at the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the "Bird's Nest".

Amidst the world's attention and cheers, the Chinese athletics delegation achieved a historic result of 3 gold medals, 10 silver medals, and 3 bronze medals, perfectly concluding this world-class event held on home soil.

This achievement not only broke the record for the best result in Chinese athletics since participating in the World Athletics Championships, but also achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in core events such as men's sprints and relays, which have long been dominated by powerhouses such as Europe, America, and Jamaica.

Declare to the world:
China's speed has reached the pinnacle of the world.

This World Championships marks the first time that the World Athletics Championships have been held in China. This is a high recognition of the development of Chinese athletics by the international athletics community, and a historic opportunity that all Chinese athletics professionals have been looking forward to for a long time.

With the cheers and encouragement of hundreds of millions of spectators cheering them on at their home stadium, all the athletes, coaches, and staff of the Chinese track and field team united as one, fought bravely, and left countless exciting and classic moments on the track and field of the Bird's Nest with a competitive spirit of daring to fight, surpassing themselves, and challenging their limits.

From the thrilling competition of the 100-meter sprint to the seamless teamwork of the relay team.

From the steady breakthroughs in women's events to the comprehensive success in multiple events such as hurdles, jumping, and throwing, Chinese athletics has delivered a report card that makes the motherland proud and amazes the world with its strength and belief.

At this World Championships, the Chinese delegation's breakthroughs were concentrated in their two flagship events: the men's 100m and the men's 4x100m relay. These two events have long been considered the crown jewels of world athletics, representing the pinnacle of speed, explosiveness, technique, and willpower. In past major international competitions, the podiums in these two events were almost entirely dominated by athletes from Europe, America, and the Caribbean, with Asian athletes, and indeed athletes of East Asian descent, consistently relegated to the role of pursuers. However, at the 2015 Beijing World Championships, Chinese athletes completely rewrote this landscape with two historic victories.

In the highly anticipated men's 100-meter final, Chinese athlete Su Shen withstood immense pressure and displayed near-perfect technical form throughout the entire process, from the start and acceleration to the mid-race and sprint.

Facing a group of world-class superstars represented by Bolt, Suarez showed no fear or hesitation. With firm strides, powerful explosiveness, and precise rhythm, he led the way and ultimately crossed the finish line first.

This achievement is not only China's third World Championship gold medal in the men's 100 meters, but also a great accomplishment that breaks the World Championship record.

The moment the electronic timer stopped, the entire Bird's Nest stadium erupted in cheers, and hundreds of millions of Chinese people were moved to tears.

This is not only a victory for an athlete, but also a historic leap for a nation in speed sports, proving that people of Asian descent can absolutely stand at the top on the world's shortest distance track.

He defeated Bolt multiple times in major competitions.

In Liu Xiang's words—

He has now become the strongest in the world.

He's not the strongest in the world yet, so who is?
A speed totem for 100 meters.

It's time to replace him.

If the men's 100-meter dash is the pinnacle of individual heroism, then the men's 4x100-meter relay is the perfect embodiment of teamwork, seamless coordination, tactical execution, and collective will. In the final, the Chinese team, facing a strong, experienced Jamaican team that had won numerous world championships, displayed a fighting spirit far exceeding expectations.

From a steady start in the first leg to a smooth transition in the second, a powerful overtake in the third, and a full-speed sprint in the fourth, the four team members worked in close coordination, pressing each other closely. They made zero mistakes in the baton exchange and held their own in the speed contest, ultimately winning the championship with a record-breaking performance and historically defeating the Jamaican relay team.

This victory has made the world realize the overall strength of China's relay team, and has also allowed Chinese athletics to once again stand at the top of the world in team events.

Two highly prestigious and significant gold medals, along with numerous other medals, brought the Chinese delegation's record of 3 gold, 10 silver, and 3 bronze medals at this World Championships. The total of 16 medals represents not only a breakthrough in quantity but also a leap in quality. Chinese athletics achieved medal success in multiple events, including sprints, relays, hurdles, women's relays, jumping, and throwing, demonstrating unprecedented depth and breadth of achievements.

In the men's 110-meter hurdles, Xie Wenjun withstood the pressure and performed steadily, contributing a valuable bronze medal to the Chinese delegation with his excellent hurdle technique and strong sprint ability. This bronze medal not only continues China's traditional advantage in short hurdle events but also demonstrates the steady growth and positive attitude of the younger generation of athletes who are willing to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

The women's 4x100m relay team also delivered a stellar performance. The girls displayed teamwork and a fighting spirit, showcasing their best in a highly competitive final to ultimately stand on the podium and win a medal. This achievement signifies that Chinese women's sprinting and relay events have also entered the ranks of the world's top-tier events, forming a "dual-engine" for Chinese athletics in speed events, alongside the men's events.

In addition, Chinese athletes achieved personal bests and season bests in multiple events, including middle- and long-distance running, jumping, and throwing, with several athletes breaking into the world's top eight, achieving historic breakthroughs. These achievements collectively paint a vivid picture of the comprehensive rise of Chinese athletics.

Post-match summary and press conference of the Chinese delegation.

Yu Weili sat here, smiling as he prepared for the post-match summary press conference.

Now he finally understands why Toyoshiro always had a smile on his face when he held press conferences back then.

How could I not be all smiles?
It feels so good to hold a press conference when you get good results.

Such a good student! I'm waiting to be praised after the exam.

Who doesn't want to be praised?

Once most of the people had arrived, Yu Weili nodded at the press officer's signal and began the press conference proceedings.

Distinguished friends from the media, honored guests, and colleagues.

Good morning, everyone.

Today, we are holding the post-competition summary press conference for the Chinese delegation at the 2015 BJ World Athletics Championships.

First of all, on behalf of the Chinese Athletics Association and all the coaches and athletes of the Chinese Athletics Delegation, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all sectors of society, media friends, and people of the whole country who have long cared for and supported the development of Chinese athletics!
We extend our highest respect to all the athletes who fought bravely and won glory for the country at this World Championships, as well as to the coaches, researchers, medical staff, and support teams who made silent contributions!
The past nine days have been extraordinary and milestone-worthy in the history of Chinese athletics. At the Bird's Nest in Beijing, our athletes, with their sweat, faith, and courage, achieved the best results in the history of Chinese athletics' participation in the World Championships: 3 gold medals, 10 silver medals, 3 bronze medals, a total of 16 medals. Many events achieved historic breakthroughs, and many results broke records and made history.

This is the result of the joint efforts of all track and field athletes, the result of the strong support of our motherland, and the result of the support and encouragement of the people of the whole country.

Today, I am here on behalf of the coaching staff and the delegation to give a comprehensive review of this World Championships and to give special recognition to the outstanding teams and individuals.

In addition, I would like to commend all the athletes who won silver and bronze medals at this World Championships, as well as those who reached the finals and achieved personal bests. Our 10 silver and 3 bronze medals at this World Championships are not just simple numbers, but a reflection of the overall strength of Chinese athletics. In multiple events, including jumping, throwing, middle- and long-distance running, and race walking, we had athletes standing on the podium and achieving breakthroughs. This demonstrates that Chinese athletics is moving from "single-point brilliance" to "comprehensive flourishing," and from "individual advantages" to "overall strength."

Here, on behalf of the coaching staff, I must also express my gratitude to all the behind-the-scenes workers. The research team, medical support, physical training, psychological counseling, logistical services… it is because of your silent dedication that the athletes can focus wholeheartedly on the field and sprint with all their might. Every medal won by Chinese athletics owes a debt to you.

Official articles on the internet.

And an interview at the press conference for Yu Weili.

Su Shen wasn't even there.

He just wanted to enjoy the moment.

Maurice Green even published an article on his personal Weibo account, which immediately caused a sensation.

The new god of the 100 meters – Suarez, with four major championship gold medals and a World Championship record, has surpassed Bolt in terms of 100-meter honors.

Su's legend began at the 2011 Daegu World Championships.

At that time, the world of track and field was still dominated by Bolt. The Jamaican lightning bolt, with his extraordinary physical talent and absolute speed, had monopolized the 100-meter race for nearly a decade. European and American media confidently asserted:

The 100-meter track is dominated by Black people; for Asians, winning a medal is already the limit, let alone winning the championship.

It would be absolutely impossible with Bolt around.

But Su refused to accept his fate. On the night in Daegu, taking advantage of Bolt's disqualification, he had a perfect start, an exceptional run in the middle of the race, and a powerful sprint in the final stretch, winning the championship as an absolute dark horse and taking China's first World Championship gold medal in the men's 100 meters.

At that moment, the door to Asian athletics, which had been dormant for a century, was suddenly pushed open.

The drama begins right here.

At the 2012 London Olympics, the world's attention was focused on the "battle of the sprinters." Bolt declared his intention to defend his title, and Western media overwhelmingly predicted that Jamaica would take both the gold and silver medals.

Despite facing national expectations and global skepticism, Su ran an astonishing time in the final, defeating Bolt once again to become the first Asian to win an Olympic gold medal in the men's 100 meters.

With his Olympic gold medal in hand, he broke not only a record, but also a racial prejudice etched into the history of world sports.

At the 2013 Moscow World Championships, Su achieved consecutive world championship titles, and his consistent dominance made the world of athletics tremble.

He is no longer an "Asian athlete who won by chance," but a track king who commands the respect of all his opponents.

At that time, the industry had already begun to say:

The Bolt era has come to an end.

The Su era is about to begin.

At the 2015 BJ World Championships, Suarez, competing on home soil, reached the pinnacle of his career. When the starting gun fired in the final, he shot off the starting line like an arrow, his starting reaction, acceleration, and sprinting form all reaching a state of perfection, dominating all his formidable opponents, including Bolt.

He broke the World Championship record with a time of 9.49 seconds, becoming the first person in human history to run a sprint under 9.50 seconds.

Four world-class competitions, four hard-earned gold medals, double title defense at the Olympics and World Championships, and the World Championships record holder—Su Yong's achievements are undeniable.

He firmly holds the title of the world's fastest man in the 100-meter dash.

If there was some controversy before the BJ World Championships, after the BJ World Championships, Su has surpassed Bolt and become the undisputed GOAT in track and field history!

So, Green got ahead of everyone else and shouted it out loud—

Su Shen is GOAT.

This article is actually...

It instantly garnered millions of likes.

Under these circumstances, tens of millions will be no problem at all.

Some people analyze it from a professional perspective, while others analyze it from the perspective of academic papers and other aspects of society. For example, several laboratories in Europe chose to publish papers the moment Suarez won the championship.

If the 100-meter dash could truly determine race.

So now it's yellow.

That is the highest.

This article explains it in great detail.

First of all, the most direct change brought about by Su Shen's rise is the complete reversal of the mindset of Chinese netizens.

Looking back decades, Chinese athletics had long been silent in the field of sprinting and had little presence on the international stage.

At that time, the online comment section was filled with self-deprecating remarks: "Asians are naturally not good at explosive power", "No chance in the 100 meters, don't waste resources", "Be grateful if you can make it to the finals".

Even when a player makes a breakthrough, netizens only dare to celebrate quietly, for fear of being ridiculed by foreign media for being "arrogant and ignorant."

When Suarez won his first gold medal in Daegu in 2011, international media still reacted with disbelief and caution.

Although the trending topic on Twitter climbed, the comments section was still mostly filled with "Really?" and "He must have been lucky," with few people celebrating wildly.

Because of the Great Firewall in China, people rarely have a voice, and overseas Chinese are even more accustomed to keeping a low profile and not being favored. The sudden gold medal is difficult for the long-standing Chinese who have always felt inferior to adapt to.

This situation continued until the 2012 London Olympics victory, when online emotions began to be released.

The topic went viral, trending on social media, and "China's Flying Man" became a hot topic for the first time.

Global netizens went from "unbelievable" to "truly proud," but still harbored a hint of trepidation: Could they win again next time? The shackles of prejudice have not yet been completely broken.

Suarez's consecutive victories in Moscow ignited a nationwide surge of confidence. Netizens, no longer hesitant, cheered for him with unwavering fervor: "We are the strongest in the world!" "Suarez is so awesome!"

A large number of track and field science popularizations and technical analyses began to appear online, and people began to understand sprinting, love sprinting, and be proud of sprinting.

Many Chinese people also cheered, and even used it as an example of how they should be self-reliant and strong.

At the 2015 BJ World Championships, he broke the World Championship record with a time of 9.49 seconds, and the Chinese internet entered a period of pure celebration.

Su Shen dominated the top ten trending topics.

My WeChat Moments, videos, forums, and Tieba are all filled with images of Su Shen crossing the finish line.

Netizens no longer suppressed their emotions, but shouted out loud, their eyes filled with tears.

"From today onwards, there are no limits to the speed of people of Asian descent!"

"I used to only recognize Bolt when watching the 100 meters, but now the whole world only recognizes Suarez!"

"He made us Chinese people hold our heads high and speak out in the world. He is a true national hero!"

From inferiority to confidence, from silence to assertiveness, from being afraid to speak out to speaking freely—Su used gold medals to shatter the spiritual shackles in the hearts of the Chinese people.

He is not only an athlete, but also a spark that ignites national self-confidence.

Netizens clearly perceive that only when we reach the top in the world's most demanding projects can we hold our heads high and speak with confidence in any situation.

This recognition is more precious than the gold medal itself.

Similarly, Su Shen's path to godhood was also a process of world opinion being conquered by strength.

Western media and netizens have long been arrogant and prejudiced, using "race theory" to define the 100-meter track and ridiculing Asian athletes to the extreme.

Suarez's first victory over Bolt in 2011 was met with resistance from European and American netizens.
"The referee is biased!"

"Bolt was just careless and didn't dodge!"

"It's impossible for people of Asian descent to win; this is an accident!"

"God made a mistake, and there won't be a next time!" Western media deliberately downplayed the achievement, describing the victory as an "upset" or "lucky," in an attempt to maintain the Western-dominated discourse in track and field.

Suarez won another gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, and Western media shifted from mockery to sarcastic remarks:
The "doping allegations" are nothing short of baseless mudslinging.

"The training methods used in Asia are unscientific and are just a flash in the pan."

The forum is full of double standards, which they refuse to admit...

An Asian can beat their idols in the most advanced speed events.

After winning consecutive World Championships in 2013, Western netizens began to silently resist. The comment sections, once flooded with mockery, became deserted; popular posts were no longer sarcastic but selective…

Blind, refuse to discuss.

They were unwilling to admit defeat, and even less willing to acknowledge Su Shen's dominance.

However, it is obvious that the shell of arrogance is beginning to crack.

At the 2015 BJ World Championships, he broke 9.50 seconds, won his fourth consecutive title, and completely crushed Bolt, silencing the European and American media.

The once most rampant forums are now eerily silent, trending topics no longer stir up controversy, and the media no longer nitpicks.

They finally understood:

All prejudices are no match for absolute power.

Su's victory was not an "accidental win," but rather a redefinition of human speed.

At this moment, foreign netizens completely collapsed:
“I have nothing to say, he is a god.”

"Bolt is just a mortal in his eyes."

"We accept our defeat wholeheartedly; racial theories are a joke."

After all, if we were to still acknowledge racial theories at this point, we would only be attacking ourselves.

Because if we were to acknowledge racial theories at this point, it would make it seem like the yellow race is the strongest, while our own race is inferior.

How could Western media possibly accept such a thing?

Let's just say that racial theories are a joke.

Decisively overturned.

Just find a few unlucky researchers to take the blame.

At the same time, neighboring Asian countries have adopted a collective attitude of worship.

Japanese netizens flooded social media with comments like, "Su is the pride of Asia; he made Asians stand at the top of the world!"

South Korean media stated, "Su broke the ceiling in Asia, and we are proud of him."

Southeast Asian and West Asian netizens commented: "It doesn't belong to China, it belongs to all of Asia!"

From arrogance to sarcasm, from silence to submission—the world's most genuine reaction proved Su Shen's greatness.

Strength is the only language that allows competitive sports to break down prejudices.

A championship is the only ticket to earning respect in competitive sports.

Why is Suarez widely considered the first person in history to surpass Bolt? Liu, another superstar Chinese track and field athlete, provides the most accurate answer—

"Bolt is a miracle of talent, Suarez is a miracle of human beings breaking through limits. Bolt won because of his physique, Suarez won because of his will, science, perseverance, and fighting against the prejudice of the whole world."

"He may have won the most difficult championship on the least favored track and broken the most stubborn shackles."

"He is not only a track and field champion, but also a spiritual leader."

Several major media outlets also jointly published an article—

Su's greatness lies in three irreplaceable aspects:
First, his dominant performance is unrepeatable: four-time World Championship winner, Olympic champion, world record holder, the only human to break 9.50 seconds, sweeping all top honors, with no weaknesses in his career.

Secondly, its breakthrough significance is unrepeatable: it breaks racial prejudice, rewrites track and field history, and gives people of Asian descent a voice on the 100-meter track. This is a historical value that no European or American athlete can achieve.

Thirdly, his spiritual influence is irreplaceable: he made Chinese youth fall in love with track and field, believe in hard work and perseverance, awaken the confidence of the entire nation, and make China's voice resound in the world of sports.

When Su stood on the podium, the national anthem played, the national flag was raised, and the whole world was watching.

At this moment, grades are no longer important; what matters is:
A nation that was once looked down upon.

Using the most hardcore methods.

It has earned the respect of the whole world.

Many people ask: Winning the championship is enough, why do you need recognition from the entire internet and worldwide attention?

Because the ultimate meaning of competitive sports is not just about winning or losing, but... spiritual resonance.

Every gold medal won by Su corresponds to a moment of self-confidence awakening for the Chinese people.

Every record broken corresponds to a shattering of global prejudice.

Without the outcry from Chinese netizens who transformed their feelings of inferiority into confidence, his breakthrough would have remained merely a cold, hard number.

Without the shift from arrogance to silence from foreign netizens, his victory would have been a solitary ascent to the top.

It was the nationwide jubilation and the world's respect that gave Su's legend warmth, power, and the mark of the times.

He is not running alone; behind him are the expectations of 1.4 billion Chinese people, the hope of all of Asia, and the resistance of all those oppressed by prejudice.

The cheers from netizens are the best reward for hard work.

The world's silence is the highest tribute to the strong.

Make Bolt a mortal.

To give people of Asian descent a golden color.

This.

It's possible that Su came to the track and field.

The greatest significance of standing on the 100-meter track.

……

Looking at these articles with extremely high like rates.

Su Shen took a deep breath.

Then he vomited it up again.

It was as if he had just released a burden that had been carried for ten years.

The evening breeze drifted slowly in from the direction of the Bird's Nest.

It carried the cool air of a summer night.

She brushed his bangs aside.

seriously.

If he hadn't claimed to be a scientist and researcher, and if he hadn't accumulated a sufficiently good track record and hadn't won any gold medals before, he might have really failed at this World Championships...

A bit of metaphysics.

Shaving one's head completely bald or something like that.

Fortunately.

My hair was saved.

He chuckled to himself, a little self-deprecatingly.

She lowered her head slightly and gently rubbed her temples.

What my fingertips touched was the tension that had been building up all night under the press conference lights.

It's a weariness that I've never truly shaken off in the past ten years.

There was no ecstasy, no shouting.

He stood there quietly.

Like a tree that has finally stopped growing and can now take root in peace.

Just take a very light, slow, and deep breath.

Then, slowly, slowly, he exhaled it again.

When he exhaled that breath, his shoulders, which had been taut for ten years, collapsed completely for the first time.

Like a thousand-pound burden pressing down on one's bones and blood, in this instant...

It landed with a loud thud.

The fierce determination in his eyes, which had never disappeared since the day he was reborn, a determination to be constantly vigilant, calculating, and ready to fight...

At this very second.

I can finally completely unload myself for a while.

He no longer needs to calculate his next move.

There's no need to calculate the rhythm of each step anymore.

The outcome of each match.

The weaknesses of each opponent.

No more suppressing your emotions, no more remaining calm, restrained, and impeccable in front of the whole world.

No more need to guard against doubts, no more need to respond to prejudices, no more need to prove anything to anyone.

Bolt or the greatest of all time.

All eyes, all comparisons, all pressure.
The moment he exhaled that breath, it was all no longer his concern.

The clamor is left behind, and the world returns to silence.

He stood there quietly, as if he had just finished a ten-year battle.

This time, he wasn't Suarez, the record holder, or a national hero.

It's not about always winning, always being strong, and never falling.

He was just an ordinary person who could finally take a good breather.

It was very quiet all around.

Only a few scattered voices could be heard in the distance.

The gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze.

He chuckled softly.

It's very shallow.

Almost invisible, yet gentle enough.

"Little Su."

"You... did a good job."

"You did a good job."

"Right?"
