GUANGZHOU - The 15th National Games awarded 29 gold medals Wednesday. Chen Yujie, 16, added a 200m title to her Monday's women's 100m victory, while local favorite Liu Jingyang claimed the women's 100m hurdles crown.

Athletics remained the day's most prolific competition, producing nine gold medals, including the highly anticipated women's 100m hurdles, where Liu won in 12.81 seconds, followed by Wu Yanni with her season-best 12.85, while 2022 Asian Games champion Lin Yuwei took bronze.

"Winning feels exciting and unbelievable," said Liu, who set a personal best. "My goal before the race was just to reach the podium, but I didn't expect to take the gold. Winning in my hometown is just incredible."

Just a day after having won the women's 100m, Chen, returned to the track to claim the 200m title in 23.02 seconds, edging out Hubei's Zhu Junying and Cai Yanting of Jiangsu.
