Chinese runner Su Bingtian made history at the Tokyo 2020 Games on Sunday. He became the first Asian athlete to appear in the men's 100m final at at an Olympics, setting a new Asian record on the way.

At the National Olympic Stadium , Su made a new Asian record of 9. 83 seconds in the semifinals(半决赛). He was one of the nine fastest men in the world. "I never thought I can reach the final of the Olympics, but now I've done it. I still can't believe it happened." Su said after the match.

Su finished sixth in the final. He made a time of 9. 98 seconds, 0. 18 seconds behind surprise winner Lamont Marcell Jacobs of Italy, who clocked 9. 80 seconds. But Su has already shown his name to the world. He was a groundbreaker in the history of Asian athletics.

Dear Sam,

How are you? I arrived in Sanya with my parents this week. We stayed in a hotel next to the beach. It was sunny during the first three days. It was hot in the day. Sometimes we swam in the water. Sometimes we sat on the beach. And we went to movies in the evening. It began to rain on Thursday. It was cool and we watched TV in the room. It was cloudy yesterday. We went out again. We had some delicious food like Wenchang Chicken and seafood in a restaurant. Tomorrow is Sunday. The weather report says it is sunny. We can swim and lie in the sun again. I hope I can spend a happy vacation here.

How's the weather in Beijing? I think it's snowing now. I watched it on TV last night. There, people are wearing warm clothes and it's difficult for them to walk in the snow! I hope you can visit my city next year! You can find Sanya is a beautiful city!

Please write to me about your vacation!

Yours,

Wendy
