their recent Nats (without their best athletes who already have qualifiers for Worlds) produced some very promising performers.
19 year old Li Jinzhe won the LJ in a PB 8.08 (about 26'6")
19 year old Su Bingtian won the 100 "in difficult conditions" 10.28 (-0.4)
(I must say, that's not too shabby for "a boy named Sue"
. Thank you Johnny Cash).
while Cao Shuo became the world's first 17 year old over 17 metres with his 17.13 (56'2") triple jump
I'm interested to see Chinese athletic developments in the next few decades. With 1.3 billion people , a growing middle class (who won't be in the fields cropping from sun up to sundown) that'll have time and money to spare and a government prepared to fund talents and perhaps "experiment" a little, I'd say a sub10 won't be too far away.Edited by: mastermulti
