Su's season was simply superb

Su Bingtian clocked 10.03 seconds to take the silver medal in the 100m at the IAAF Continental Cup in the Czech Republic on Sunday, wrapping up a brilliant 2018 season for the 29-year-old from Zhongshan.

Su twice equaled the Asian record of 9.91 earlier in the year and clocked 9.92 to take the Asian Games title in Jakarta last month.

Those achievements were unimaginable a year ago, when many fans thought he was ready to be put out to pasture.
