JAKARTA, Aug. 25 -- China continued their march towards final medal table glory by winning six more golds at the Asian Games on Saturday.
Now China lead the medal table on 72 gold, 51 silver and 30 bronze medals, followed by Japan and South Korea on 34 and 25 golds respectively. Iran sit in fourth place with 14 golds while hosts Indonesia have 10 golds to rank fifth.
The athletics competition early Saturday kicked off its first matchday with men's marathon event, which was won by Japanese Hiroto Inoue in a time of 2 hours 18 minutes 22 seconds.
In women's hammer throw, Luo Na won China's first athletics gold by beating her teammate Wang Zheng, the current Asian record holder.
The 25-year-old dominated the field to lead from beginning and secured the title with a stunning 71.42 meters in her fourth try. Wang took silver with 70.86 meters.
On the track, China's star sprinter Su Bingtian, the co-holder of the Asian 100 meters record, qualified as the winner of heat 4 at 10.27 seconds with his teammate Xu Zhouzheng.
As the top seed of the most watched race, Su clocked 9.91 seconds in the men's 100-meter race at the Paris leg of the 2018 IAAF Diamond League in June, which tied the Asian record created by the Nigerian-born Qatari Femi Ogunode in 2017.
Femi is absent from Jakarta Asian Games, but his younger brother Tosin Ogunode, also on behalf of Qatar, advanced from the heats.
"My goal is to win the gold here, not for new record," said Su. "There's many opportunities to create new records. No rush this time," said Su.
In women's 100-meter race, China's Wei Yongli and Liang Xiaojing both qualified as heat winners.
In men's shot put final, Indian Tajinderpal Singh Toor grabbed gold by breaking the Asian Games record with a 20.75m mark on his fifth attempt. The 23-year-old athlete won the nation's seventh gold at Jakarta.
Daria Maslova won the second gold for kyrgyzstan at Jakarta from women's 10,000 meters final with 32:07.23.
The tennis competition came to an end in Jakarta as veterans Xu Yifan/Yang Zhaoxuan won China's second tennis gold in women's doubles event.
The Chinese pair outplayed Chan Haoching/Chan Yunjan of Chinese Taipei in full sets 6-2, 1-6 and 11-9 in the final.
Xu said the victory was very meaningful as it's the first time and would also be the last time for her and her teammate since she could no longer play in the Asian Games in the future.
"Winning this match is very meaningful. The Asian Games are different from any other professional tournaments, which combines it all. This is the first win in the Asian Games that probably would be my last time. I feel very honored to win this final match," Xu said.
The Chinese pair are scheduled to play the US Open, both singles and doubles, in a few days.
In men's singles, Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan rallied to beat Chinese star Wu Yibing 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(2) to win gold while Indonesia's Christopher Rungkat and Aldilla Sutjiadi secured mixed doubles gold.
China also had golds in canoe, cycling and shooting events.
