Xie Zhenye

Xie Zhenye is a genuine pioneer for Asian sprinting, and I don't say that lightly. Becoming the Asian record holder in the 200m at 19.88, and dipping under ten seconds in the 100m, the second Chinese man to do it after Su Bingtian, puts him at the absolute frontier of a discipline long dominated elsewhere. What gets me is the brutal margins of sprinting, where years of work hinge on hundredths of a second. To stay at the top that long takes ferocious discipline. As a Zhejiang University master's student carving records on the track, he embodies a kind of relentless ambition I find genuinely inspiring.
