好樣的蘇炳添!亞洲人第一次晉級世錦賽百米決賽!

Chinese sprinter Su Bingtian made history on Sunday by becoming the first Asian athlete to appear in the men's 100m final at the world athletics championships.

中國運動員蘇炳添成爲首位殺入世錦賽男子百米決賽的亞洲選手，並因此創造了歷史。

With the huge crowd at the Bird's Nest keeping their fingers crossed and hoping for a miracle, Su delivered a national record-tying result of 9.99 seconds in the semifinals to qualify as one of the nine fastest men in the world.

鳥巢裏衆多的觀衆雙手手指交叉，祈盼着奇蹟的出現。9秒99！蘇炳添在半決賽中以優異的成績順利成爲決賽中九位“飛人”中的一員。

"Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine reaching the final of the world championships, and now that I've done it I still can't believe it happened," Su said after the semis.

蘇炳添在半決賽之後說道：“我做夢也沒想到我會挺近世錦賽的決賽，如今我做到了，但我依然難以相信這是真的。

Although he finished ninth in the final with a time of 10.06 seconds, Su cemented his status as a groundbreaker to be remembered in the history of Asian athletics.

雖然在決賽中蘇炳添以10秒06取得第九名，但無論如何，他作爲歷屆亞洲選手中的一名開拓者，將被世人銘記！

Jamaica's world and Olympic champion Usain Bolt clocked 9.79 to win gold, while Justin Gatlin of the US took silver (9.80) and Canada's Andre De Grasse and Trayvon Bromell of the US tied for bronze (9.92).

來自牙買加的奧運會冠軍尤塞恩·博爾特憑藉9秒79的優異成績奪金，美國選手賈斯汀·加特林以9秒80的成績奪銀，而來自加拿大的安德烈·德格拉塞和來自美國的特拉伊馮·布魯梅爾都獲得了9秒92的成績，並列第三名，獲得銅牌。

Now Su envisions a bigger breakthrough in the men's 4X100m relay on Aug 29.

現在，蘇炳添設想着能在8月29日的男子4X100米接力賽中實現一個更大的突破。

"The relay will be a bigger challenge for us, but judging from the result we achieved last year, it's possible for us to make it into the top five (in the final). The relay race reflects the overall level of a country's strength in sprinting, and we've made big progress," said the 25-year-old.

“接力賽對我們來說將是一個更大的挑戰，但是從我們去年取得的成就來看，我們有潛力在決賽中挺進前五。接力賽反映了一個國家短跑的整體水平，我們已經取得了很大的進步，”這個25歲的青年說道。

Teamed with Zhang Peimeng, Xie Zhenye and Chen Shiwei, Su's team clocked 37.99 sec to win 4X100m gold at the 2014 Asian Games, breaking the previous Asian record held by Japan for seven years.

在2014亞運會田徑男子4X100米接力決賽中，由蘇炳添、張培萌、謝震業和陳時偉組成的中國隊以37秒99的成績打破七年來一直被日本保持的亞洲紀錄，奪得冠軍。

After training in Florida at the beginning of this year, Su sprinted to a national record 9.99 sec to become the first Chinese to crack the 10-sec barrier after finishing third at an IAAF Diamond League meet in Engene, Oregon.

自打今年年初在佛羅里達接受了訓練，這次是在繼俄勒岡尤金站的國際田聯鑽石聯賽取得了第三名之後，蘇炳添又成爲了衝破十秒屏障的第一個中國人。
