Athletes use Diamonds to polish Paris prospects

China Daily  

Wang Jianan and Feng Bin are both carrying China's hopes for medals in track and field at the Paris Olympic Games. Leading off the charge was women's discus thrower Feng Bin, who maintained her elite status in the event by winning back-to-back medals, first a bronze in the opening leg in Xiamen on April 20, followed by a silver in Suzhou on Saturday, to stay in the medal contention for Paris 2024 at the start of the Olympic season. "I think it means a lot for me to pull off results like this early in the season," said Feng, who won China's first discus world championship gold medal in 11 years at the 2022 edition by landing a personal best distance of 69.12 meters in Eugene, Oregon. Gong's younger teammate Song Jiayuan, who claimed her career first medal on the Diamond League circuit in Suzhou on Saturday, hails the home test against Gong and international heavyweights, such as two-time world champion Chase Jackson of the US and Canada's world indoor champion Sarah Mitton, as a great learning curve. My execution was good and the intensity was there," said Wang, who won China's first world championships gold medal in any horizontal jumping event by leaping over 8.36 meters in Eugene two years ago.
