Ma's army starts to roll
HIROSHIMA. Oct 12: China's world class women, hu mbled in the previous day’s track
oinpctidon. bounced back to a record shattering 1-2 victory in the 800 metres at the Asian Games Wednesday, reports AP.
In the day’s only other two finals. Qatar won its second gold when Ibrahim ISfnail Muftah took the .men's 400 metres while South Korean also picked up its second on Lee Jin-il's Games recordbreaking effort in the men’s 800 metres.
Winds of up to 36 kph (23 mph) swept through the 50,000 seat "Big Arch” stadium. forcing the postponement of four field and two track events.
After four days of track and field, China has gathered seven golds while Japan. South Korea and Qatar have two apiece and Kazakhastan, Taiwan and Syria one each.
Qu Yunxia. world record holder in the 1.500 metres, and teammate Liu Li proved a class apart as they surged ahead in the last third of the 800 and then fought it out in the home stretch.
The 21-year-old Qu captured the Games record with a time of I minute. 59.85 while Liu's 2:00.66 also broke the previous mark of 2:01.04. The bronze went to veteran Indian middle distance runner Shiny Wilson in 2:02.22.
Notably absent from the
race was Liu Dong, world Champion and Asian record holder in the event and like Qu a member of Chinese coach Ma Junren's "army" of record wreckers.
Ma said he did not know Liu's whereabouts, but some Chinese reporters speculated that she was in trouble with her disciplinarian coach for having a boyfriend and wearing her hair too long.
South Koreas Lee. Asian Champion in the event, lowered one of the oldest Games records with a 1:45.72 clocking in the 800. The previous mark of 1:46.81. set by India s Charles BoA-emeo had stood for 12 years.
One of Ma s up and coming male charges Mu Weiguo. led in the earlier stages of the race but couldn't hold on. His time of 1:46.44 was good enough for a silver, while another South Korean. Kim Yong-Hwan, got the bronze in 1:46.69. Mu and Kim also bettered the old record.
Qatar's Muftah proved again that he was Asia's best in the 400 metres but could not break his own Games record of 44.93. set earlier in the heats. His winning time was 45.48.
South Korea’s Shon Ju-11 took the silver in 45.87 and Thailand's Aktawat Sakulchun was the surprise bronze medalist in 46.50. Going into the race, he had the slowest personal best in the field.
Aside from forcing changes
in the schedule. the winds were too strong for Chinese runner Liu Xlaomei's I 1.23 to stand as a Games record in women's 100 heats. Liu. the Asian record holder. Is favoured to win the 100 gold.
In the women's 400-metre heats. China's Ma Yuqin led competitors with a 52.35 timing. Ma is ranked No 1 in the world ahd also holds the Asian record for the event.
Occasional showers also marred Wednesday's competition. forcing spectators — most of them Japanese school children in neat uniforms to run for cover.
Based on 20 years of weather statistics, the first two weeks of October were picked as the best possible time to stage the Games. But this can also be a time of typhoons, and one blew tn Jus' before the start of the I2th Asiad.
Although Chin?, could take only two of the s' -ti golds on offer Tuesday, it u ill certainly capture the majority of the 43 gold medals in track and field.
However, its hopes of taking as many as 18 of 19 women's events were dashed with Tuesday's defeats in the 200. metres and 100 metre hurdles.
The Chinese women hold 17 of 18 Asian track and field records and all but two of the Games best marks. They also own three world records — the same number as American women.
