BEIJING, Aug 28 ― World record holder Liu Hong won the women's 20 kilometres walk today to give hosts China a first gold medal of the world championships.
The title favourite broke clear early on alongside countrywoman Lu Xiuzhi, the pair building a massive lead in Beijing's fierce morning heat but Liu proved the stronger, winning in one hour 27.45 minutes with Lu right behind her.
Wild cheers greeted Liu and Lu as they entered the Bird's Nest stadium to complete a one-two finish for the Chinese, who had won three silver medals and one bronze in the first six days of competition.
Ukraine's Lyudmyla Olyanovska took bronze, 28 seconds behind.
Liu, sporting dark glasses and canary yellow sneakers, had previously won two world bronze medals and a silver, beaten to gold in 2011 by Russian Olga Kaniskina who has since been banned for doping.
The 28-year-old Liu, from China's southeast province of Jiangxi, finished fourth at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The Chinese duo opened a 26-second gap by the halfway point and as they weaved in and out of pesky back-markers on approach to the stadium even had time to exchange words as if out on a morning stroll.
Draped in Chinese flags, Liu and Lu jogged around a sun-baked Bird's Nest together on a lap of honour, stopping to pose for photographs for joyous local fans. ― AFP

28 AUG 2015 REPORT BEIJING, CHINA
REPORT: WOMEN'S 20KM RACE WALK – IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, BEIJING 2015
At the fifth time of asking, and after three trips to the podium in Berlin, Daegu and Moscow to pick up bronze or silver medals, world record holder Liu Hong fulfilled her status as the favourite and finally struck gold in Beijing.
In doing so she has assured herself iconic status as the first Chinese winner at the IAAF World Championships, Beijing 2015.
Her winning time of 1:27:45 was more than three minutes outside her world record of 1:24:38 but Friday’s race was always about winning not a fast time, and the prevailing temperature of between 25 degrees Celsius (at the start) and 28 degrees also mitigated against any superlatives, although the humidity stayed mercifully reasonable at about 45 per cent.
The diminutive 1.61m Li won by 0.26 on the photo-finish from her slightly taller compatriot and former Asian record holder Lu Xiuzhi, the latter given the same time on the results sheet as the winner with both times rounded up to the nearest second, for the closest finish in IAAF World Championships history; but there seemed little doubt about the winner from about 300 metres out when Lu seemed to mentally concede the contest.
In what was expected to be an open race for the bronze medal, with the two Chinese walkers the prohibitive favourites for gold and silver, it was Ukraine’s 2014 European silver medallist Lyudmyla Olyanovska who came through to take a delighted third place in 1:28:13.
The race quickly developed a noticeable pattern with Liu and Li going straight to the front from the gun and being initially shadowed by the tall Czech walker Anezka Drahotova.
However, Drahotova started to drift away slightly from just after four kilometres and the 2014 world junior champion and European bronze medallist then had a mildly traumatic next five kilometres in which she was passed by four walkers before regaining her composure and finishing eighth, the same position she had finished in Moscow two years ago.
Liu and Lu, swapping the lead around although it was the latter doing slightly more of the work, went through 5km in 22:24 and 10km in 44:19.
By the halfway point, they had 29 seconds to spare over a pack of four consisting of Olyanovska, Italy’s Elisa Riguado and Elenora Giorgi, and Brazil’s Erica de Sena.
The Chinese pair passed 15km in 1:06:24, working together to maintain their lead although the gap started to close slightly from 14km onwards as Olyanovska started to surge and make her bid for the podium.
With just 5km to go, Olyanovska was just 21 seconds behind Liu and Lu, with Giorgi and Riguado now walking in single file behind the Ukrainian, and De Sena having dropped away at around 12 kilometres.
The 16th kilometre was crucial for Olyanovksa as she put in a spurt and closed the gap further on Liu and Lu, with Giorgi and Riguado – already with three warnings by 15km, and Giorgi having picked up three yellow cards between 10km and 15km – soon to be disqualified.
However, the Chinese soon realised the danger and put in an extra effort in the 17trh and 18th kilometre and it was beyond Olyanovksa to continue her challenge for a higher place on the podium.
Behind the three medallists, Portugal’s two-time IberoAmerican champion Ana Cabecinha came through strongly over the second half of the race, having been ninth at halfway, to take fourth in 1:29:29: her best ever result at a global championship.
Antonella Palmisano restored a modicum of pride to Italian walking after the r3e cards shown to her compatriots by finishing fifth in 1:29:34 to complete the quintet of finishers under one and a half hours: while De Sena held her form after going through a bad patch between 13 and 15 kilometres and was sixth in 1:30:06.

Su leads China to 4X100m bronze at IAAF World Relays
ECNS App Download
Paced by the 100-meter national record holder Su Bingtian, the Chinese men's 4X100 meters relay team took the bronze medal at the 2017 IAAF World Relays here on Saturday.
The Chinese team clocked a season best of 38.97 seconds to finish fifth in the heats and went on to clock 39.22s to finish third in the final.
The gold medal went to the U.S. team who sprinted to a winning mark of 38.43s. Barbados outraced China right in front of the finish to seize the silver in 39.18s.
According to the entry standards for 2017 IAAF World Championships in London, the top eight placed teams in the World Relays can earn automatical qualification for the London worlds, which means the Chinese men's 4X100 team has already secured a berth in the World Championships in August.
The Chinese women's 4X200m team also competed on Saturday and finished eighth in the final with a 1:37.60 clocking. Jamaica took the gold with a meet record of 1:29:04.
