China’s sprint queen Liang Xiaojing left the competition in the dust at the Asian Athletics Championships in Gumi, South Korea, clinching the women’s 100m gold with a blazing 11.37 seconds! 🌟 The 26-year-old dominated the race from start to finish, ending China’s decade-long wait for a title in this event since Wei Yongli’s 2013 victory.
But Liang wasn’t the only star shining bright! China’s athletes went full 🚀 ‘beast mode’ on Wednesday, snagging six gold medals in total. Zhu Yaming soared to triple jump glory with a 17.06m leap—the only athlete to crack the 17m mark. Meanwhile, Wang Qi hurled his way to hammer throw gold (74.50m), and pole vaulter Niu Chunge cleared 4.48m, sharing the podium with compatriot Xu Huiqin, who took silver.
Not to be outdone, decathlete Fei Xiang scored 7,634 points for his gold, while Li Chunhui smashed her personal best in the women’s 1500m (4:10.58) to add another 🥇 to China’s haul. Talk about a #GoldenDay!
