In their qualification heat they placed second behind Trinidad and Tobago, but in front of the Netherlands and Brazil. Their time of 38.52 was the third fastest out of sixteen participating nations in the first round, and they qualified for the final. There they sprinted to a time of 38.15 seconds, the third fastest after the Jamaican and Trinidad teams, winning the bronze medal.<ref name="beijing" /> The medal was upgraded to a silver after the Jamaicans were DQ'ed due to Nesta Carter's positive doping sample. Suetsugu also took part in the 200 metres individual race, finishing sixth in his first round heat, with a time of 20.93 seconds, which was not enough to qualify for the second round.<ref name="beijing" /><ref>Template:Cite Sports-Reference</ref>
