In the just-concluded Track and Field Day 4, Chinese athletes have broken their own records in both the men's pole vault and the women's discus throw. For the very first time, Xue Changrui has gained the 6th place in the men's pole vault final. Meanwhile, three Chinese discus throwers Su Xinyue, Feng Bin and Chen Yang have advanced into the women's final. The Track and Field games were suspended for a while due to heavy rain.
