Star sprinter Su Bingtian will carry the flag for China at Sunday's closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation announced.
"It's a great honor for Chinese athletics," Su responded.
The 31-year-old made history on Aug 1 as he became the first Chinese to qualify for an Olympic men's 100m final, setting a new Asian record of 9.83 seconds in the semifinals. He finished the sixth place in the final.
