Dash to history
On the evening of Sept 30, Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium erupted in tumultuous applause and cheers, as Chinese sprinters Xie Zhenye and Ge Manqi romped to gold in the men's and women's 100m, respectively.
The victories marked the first time in Asian Games history that athletes from one country had won both 100m titles. The host nation also triumphed in both the men's and women's 4x100 relay finals.
The victories extended China's recent progress in the 100m. Lao Yi topped the podium in the men's race at the 2010 Guangzhou Asiad and Su Bingtian, the Asian record holder, was crowned men's champion at the 2018 Jakarta Games.
"Our next goal is the Paris Olympics," said the ambitious Xie.
