At just 19 years old, long jumper Shi is one of the most exciting talents in Chinese athletics.
He set an Asian junior record of 8.30m in 2016 and improved it by a centimeter a year later to gain qualification for the 2017 worlds in London, where he finished a commendable sixth. Shi cemented his reputation as one to watch by claiming gold at this year's Asian indoors with a world-leading jump of 8.16m.
