Xie Zhenye

Sprinter Xie Zhenye clocked a 20.72-second win in the men's 200-meter race at the 2020 Chinese National Athletics Championships on September 17, adding to his 100-meter title.

The 27-year-old is the Asian record holder in the men's 200-meter race after he broke Nigerian-born Olympian Femi Ogunode's record at the London stop of last year's Diamond League with a timing of 19.88 seconds. He also became the first Chinese to finish the run under 20 seconds.

Despite heavy rain on September 17, Xie dominated the race from the start. It was his second gold at the championships after winning the 100-meter race with a timing of 10.31 seconds on the opening day of the event.
