Chinese discus thrower Feng Bin cemented her continental dominance Thursday at the Asian Athletics Championships in Gumi, South Korea, defending her title with a clutch 61.90-meter final throw – the only attempt surpassing 60 meters during the competition.
Historic Streak Continues
The victory extends China's 12-year monopoly on women's discus gold at the event and marks Feng's personal hat-trick following wins in Doha (2019) and Bangkok (2023). Her performance propelled China to 12 gold medals overall, reinforcing the nation's athletic prowess ahead of the Paris Olympics.
Olympic Momentum Builds
The 2023 World Athletics Championships gold medalist and Olympic silver winner told reporters: "I aim to achieve even better results, and I believe I have the capability to do so." Feng's statement signals strong ambitions as she prepares for her third Olympic appearance.
With this win, Feng joins an elite group of Chinese athletes who've claimed three consecutive Asian championship titles, underscoring the systematic training programs fueling China's athletic success.
