Huang Xiaoxiao (R) is congratulated by team
mate Xie Qing after China won the gold medal for the women's 4x400 metre
relay final at the 4th East Asian Games in Macau November 4, 2005. Hung
finished off the last leg after Xie started the race for China.
[Reuters] | Zhang Qi won the shot put with
20.06 meters on his third attempt, beating Chinese compatriot Jia Peng by 1.22
meters. South Korea's Shon Hyun was third at 18.06.
Yuki Nakamura broke the Chinese sequence, giving Japan its first gold medal
of the day in the men's 5,000 meters.
Nakamura, who won the 10,000 on Tuesday, clocked 14:05.77 in the shorter
race, finishing ahead of teammate Tomohiro Seto in 14:16.44 and South Korea's
Lee Du-haeng in 14:24.03.
"The 5,000 wasn't as good as the 10,000," said Nakamura. "But my goal here
was to win gold medals in both events so I was very happy. I didn't let the heat
get to me and it was good to be running alongside Seto."
Japan also won the men's 4x400 relay with Yuki Yamaguchi, Yosuke Inoue,
Takayuki Koike and Yoshihiro Horigome combining for a time of 3:07.70. Taiwan
took silver with a time of 3:09.06 followed by South Korea (3:12.10).
Kim Deokh-yeon won the men's triple jump with a Games record 16.79, giving
South Korea its third gold of the track meet.
