YANG MAKE HISTORY AT WORLD UNIVERSITY GAMES IN TAIPEI
World champion Pawel Fajdek won a historic fourth consecutive hammer title
at the World University Games in Taipei City, but the star of the athletics
programme so far was Yang Chun-Han（楊俊瀚） of host nation Chinese Taipei.
Yang wasn't considered to be one of the pre-event favourites for the 100m.
Even throughout the rounds, the 20-year-old didn't stand out, finishing
second in his heat and second in his quarter-final. He won his semifinal in
a national record of 10.20, but South Africa's Thando Roto was the fastest
in that round, clocking 10.18.
Roto, who earlier this year clocked a PB of 9.95, and USA's Cameron Burrell,
the fastest in the field with a 9.93 PB from earlier this year, started as
the favourites in the final. Yang, meanwhile, was just the seventh fastest
based on PBs and season's bests.
But Yang, drawn in lane five, kept his composure as Roto in lane four got
off to the best start and held the lead at half way. Burrell in the outside
lane was also in contention, but Yang came through in the final few metres
to take the victory in 10.22 (-0.9m/s), much to the delight of the
home crowd. Roto was second in 10.24 with Burrell a further 0.03 in arrears.
Yang became the first man from Chinese Taipei to win an athletics gold medal
at the World University Games. Their only other athletics gold in the history
of the event came in the women's 200m in 1991.
