Hosts China win 100m sprint double at Asian Games
China claimed a 100m sprint double at the Asian Games on Saturday as Xie Zhenye and Ge Manqi delighted the home crowd in Hangzhou.
Xie powered home to take the men's title in 9.97sec, ahead of Thailand's Puripol Boonson on 10.02 and Malaysia's Muhammad Azeem Mohd Fahmi on 10.11.
The 30-year-old Xie claimed the first Asian Games individual gold of his career, having been part of China's title-winning 4x100m relay team in 2014.
He was also part of the China team that won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics two years ago.
China's Su Bingtian, who reached the 100m final at the Tokyo Games, skipped the Asian Games to focus on his preparations for next year's Paris Olympics.
Ge came home in 11.23sec to take the women's title ahead of Singapore's Shanti Pereira on 11.27 and Bahrain's Hajar Alkhaldi on 11.35.
Defending champion Edidiong Odiong finished sixth.
