EUGENE, United States -- Chinese women throwers showed their prowess at the World Athletics Championships as Feng Bin beat her much more accomplished opponents to grab the discus throw title here on Wednesday.

The final witnessed Feng, 28, burst onto the scene. Feng, whose previous best result was fifth place at 2019 Doha worlds, locked the victory with 69.12 meters in her first attempt as three of her six valid throws bettered or was close to her personal best of 66.00m.

Two-time Olympic champion Sandra Perkovic of Croatia had to settle for the silver in 68.45m while reigning Olympic champion Valarie Allman of the United States, the only female discus thrower beating 70m mark this season, bagged a bronze in 68.30m.
