Biography

Zeng's first international championship was the 2016 World under-20 championships, where he was the first athlete to not qualify for the finals in his heat of the 110 m hurdles, finishing 5th.[1]

Zeng's first national championship title came in the 2019 indoor season, when he won the 60 m hurdles in a time of 7.62 seconds.[1] Outdoors, Zeng ran at the 2019 IAAF World Relays – Mixed shuttle hurdles relay, serving as the anchor leg with Wu Yanni on third leg. The team finished 3rd in their heat and did not qualify for the final.[3] Zeng closed out his 2019 outdoor season with a win at the Chinese Athletics Championships and a silver medal at the Military World Games, both in the 110 m hurdles.[1]

At the 2020 Chinese Athletics Championships, Zeng took an early lead, but Xie Wenjun pulled away in the final metres to win by 0.3 seconds.[4]

In April 2021, Zeng fell and suffered a fracture during a warm-up for a competition. He was rushed to emergency surgery in Shanghai and did not compete at the 2021 Summer Olympics.[2]
