It's onwards and upwards for Team China after breakthroughs abound at Tokyo 2020

Chinese veteran Su Bingtian made major breakthroughs in the 100-meter sprint in Tokyo, setting an Asian-record 9.83 seconds in his semifinal and becoming the first Chinese to reach an Olympic 100m final. A medal ultimately proved beyond the 32-year-old in the final on Aug 1, when he finished sixth, however he had already inspired young sprinters across Asia to follow in his speedy steps.

After the curtain came down on the Games on Sunday, the Chinese delegation boarded their flights home having served up two weeks of spine-tingling action that transcended the sporting landscape to cheer the entire nation.
