Three months later at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, the 26-year-old clocked 9.99s again to become the first Chinese to reach the men's 100m final in the worlds. He also steered the country's 4x100 meter men's relay team to a shocking silver medal at the world championships behind Usain Bolt's all-conquering Jamaica. [Photo/Xinhua]
