苏炳添1989年8月29日出生于广东省中山市古镇镇古一村。在体育这条赛道上，他一直坚持“两手抓”，既拼运动实力，也做学术研究：2009年进入暨大经济学院国际经济与贸易专业学习，2017年取得硕士研究生学位，2018年4月被正式聘任为暨大体育学院副教授，随后受聘为教授。
Born on August 29, 1989, in Zhongshan city, Guangdong province, Su balanced intense athletic training with academic studies, earning a master's degree in International Economics and Trade from JNU in 2017. In April 2018, Su was appointed as professor in JNU.
尽管担任教职，但苏炳添并没有退出竞技赛场。2021年东京奥运会上，苏炳添在男子100米半决赛中跑出9秒83的成绩，以小组第一名晋级决赛，刷新了亚洲纪录。
Despite his academic commitments, Su remains an active force on the track. His crowning moment came at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where he shattered the Asian record by clocking 9.83 seconds in the men's 100m semi-finals.

今年36岁的苏炳添依然在坚持比赛。在2月18日举办的2025年全国室内田径大奖赛（第3站）中，作为年龄最大的参赛选手，他以6秒65的成绩斩获男子60米决赛冠军。目前，苏炳添仍是室内男子60米全国纪录的保持者。
At 36, Su continues to compete. In the 2025 National Indoor Track and Field Gtrand Prix on February 18, he claimed the men's 60m final title with a time of 6.65 seconds, the oldest competitor yet still holding the national indoor 60m record.
祝贺苏院长！
