TIANJIN, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- When Zhang Peimeng survived a bone cancer scare at the age of 22, he did not know he would one day become a landmark figure in the Chinese athletics.


When he finally hung up his running spikes at the end of the National Games, his name has etched into history as the first man in China who was able to touch the 10 second-barrier in men's 100 meter.


"I feel like there are thousands of words at the tip of my tongue but I suddenly am at loss for what to say," said the 30-year-old, who was able to bid farewell to the track with a gold medal in the 4x100m relay together with his national teammates Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and Wu Zhiqiang on Thursday night Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Mini 5854 Negras Comprar , a day before the closing ceremony.


"I don't want to say goodbye. It is as if I am not leaving, if I don't say 'it's the last time'," he added.


Looking back at his career, Zhang had tried in vain to reach a 100m final at either the World Championships or the Olympic Games. The one time he was closest to his goal was at the semifinal of the 2013 Moscow World Championships, where Zhang clocked in the historic 10s, a national record then, but was nine thousandths of a second short of the final.


Zhang's 10s are surely a far cry from Jamaican great Usain Bolt's 9.58s world record but it is as significant for China as is Bolt's record to the world. Zhang opened the door to the possibility that a Chinese sprinter could reach the crown jewel of athletics.


Less than two years after Zhang's Moscow race Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet 1873 Chestnut Comprar , Su Bingtian, two years younger than Zhang, made a breakthrough, setting the new national record of 9.99 at the Eugene Grand Prix. Three months later, Su stormed into the 2015 Beijing World Championships final, marking another historic moment in China's sports history.


"It is hard to summarize the progress of Chinese athletics in the past decade in a few sentences. I already lost my national record but I am happy because I consider myself a pioneer, a stepping stone as Su Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet 1873 Negras Baratas , Xie and other younger runners can follow my steps to see farther, reach higher and dream bigger," Zhang said.


"I have done my part for Chinese athletics and I have no regret in this aspect," he continued
