TIANJIN, Sept. 5-- Beijing worlds' relay runner-up Xie Zhenye sprinted to an easy victory of the men's 200m and improved his own national record by 0.2 seconds, while his fellow Zhejiang teammates won three out of four golds in the National Games pool here on Tuesday. The 24-year-old sprinter, who was just crowned in the men's 100m final two days ago, timed in 20.20 seconds to shatter the previous mark of 20.40 that he set in last May's Diamond League Shanghai tournament. Guangdong's Liang Jingsheng settled for the runner-up position at 0.54 seconds and Bie Ke from Chongqing was the third at further 0.04. Xie was a member of China's 4X100m relay team that won a historic silver in Beijing 2017 and placed fourth in this year's London worlds, alongside with last National Games' 100m and 200m title-winning sprinter Zhang Peimeng and London worlds' 100m finalist Su Bingtian. Other four finals have been competed on track and field in Tuesday's National Games, where a total of 22 gold medals were on offer in the sports including golf, gymnastics, table tennis, taekwondo, weightlifting and wrestling. Hunan's 20-year-old sprinter Huang Guifen claimed a surprising win with a time of 23.24 seconds in the women's 200m final, beating Yuan Qiqi of Jiangsu, who led through out the sprint but falling on the finishing line. Tibet long-distance runners drew the spot light in the men's 10,000m race with Duobujie and Mijuenima respectively finishing as the winner and the third placed, both resulting in their personal best. |
