Su Bingtian (Chinese: 苏炳添; pinyin: Sū Bǐngtiān; born 29 August 1989)[7] is a professional Chinese track and field athlete specializing in the 100 metres event. As of 2022, he is the first-ever Asian-born sprinter to break the 10-second barrier.[8] Su's personal best of 9.83 seconds makes him the all-time 10th-fastest man in the history of 100 metres at the Olympics, the all-time 15th-fastest man in the history of the 100m event,[9] and the current holder of the 100 m Asian record.[10] Su's personal best in the 60 metres of 6.42 seconds placed him within the all-time top six in the event.[11]

At the 2020 Summer Olympics, Su made history by becoming the first sprinter of non-African descent to reach the Olympic 100 m final since 1980. In the semi-final, as well as setting his 100 m personal best (9.83), Su also ran the fastest 30 m and 60 m ever recorded under any conditions (3.73 and 6.29 seconds).[12] Su was a silver medalist at the World Indoor Championships in 2018, the gold medalist at the 2018 Asian Games 100 m, a silver medalist in the 4 × 100 m relay at the World Relays in 2015, and a bronze medalist in the 4 × 100 m relay at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
