KOBE - China's Su Bingtian won the men's 100-meter race in 10.21 seconds at the Asian athletics championships in Kobe, Japan on Friday.
Su was followed by Japanese Masashi Eriguchi and Sota Kawatsura, who were timed 10.28 and 10.30 respectively.
The dash, affected by a false start by Eriguchi, proved to be a tight race, but the 22-year-old Su survived the pressure to sprint home first.
Su said that he was satisfied with the results and owed the gold to his new training method, which put greater importance in the final 40 meters.
"The results show the method works," Su said.
