My favorite runner is Su Bingtian. At the Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian made history. In the track and field event, Su not only became the first Chinese to stand in the Olympic 100-meter final, but also broke the Asian record with a time of 9.83 seconds, once again breaking Asian’s speed limit. So I have been inspired by Su Bingtian. He has told us with his performance that nothing is impossible.

I’ve been a sports nut since I was old enough to hold a ball. That’s why when my PE teacher presented me with the idea of joining the swimming team I decided to give it a shot and challenge myself a bit more. So I started going to swimming practice last June. At first I only regarded swimming as a hobby to enhance my physical fitness. But soon I found I fell in love with it. Then, last week, I had my first swimming competition, in the 100m breaststroke(蛙泳). Standing tall at the head of the lane made me feel both nervous and excited. After the sound of the whistle, I dived in and began to swim with all my strength! Finally, I came in the third place. I was so happy for my achievement, and it proved that hard work pays off. I will keep on swimming, perhaps for the rest of my life. Not only because it makes me healthier and stronger, but also for the confidence and sense of achievement it has brought.
