Para-Athletics Worlds: Sun Pengxiang, Wen Xiaoyan Set World Records As Chinese Stars Dominate
The Kobe Para Athletics World: Chinese para-athlete Sun Pengxiang won men's javelin throw F41 gold with a new world record while Wen Xiaoyan lowered her own world record by winning the women's 200m T37 final at the Para-Athletics World Championship here on Saturday. Liu Cuiqing set a new world record by triumphing in the women's 200m T11 final.
With a throw of 48.94 meters in his second attempt, the 33-year-old Sun Pengxiang wowed the Universiade Memorial Stadium in Kobe by shattering the world record previously set by himself last year in Hangzhou. "I didn't see that coming because my recent training lacked intensity due to my age and injuries, and I'm delighted with today's performance," said Sun, adding that he would further adjust himself for the upcoming 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
Iran's Sadegh Beit Sayah and India's Navdeep took the silver and bronze with throws of 47.92m and 42.82m respectively, in the field competition for athletes with short stature.
