Su said that it is "a great honor for Chinese athletics."
The 31-year-old made history on Aug. 1 as he became the first Chinese to qualify for an Olympic men's 100m final, setting a new Asian record of 9.83 seconds in the semifinals. He finished the sixth place in the final.
In the men's 4X100m relay race, the Su-led Chinese team came fourth again after the Rio Games with 37.79 seconds that tied China's national record.
