Huang leaps to victory with season-best mark
World Indoor Championships medalist Huang Changzhou recorded a season-best leap of 8.03 meters to win an online men’s long jump competition staged by the Chinese national team on Saturday.
The competition included three events — men’s and women’s long jump and women’s triple jump. With athletes competing from their local training bases, the action was live-streamed online.
The 25-year-old Huang from Sichuan province, who won bronze at the 2016 World Indoor Championships, jumped 8.03m in the fourth round to seize victory.
Asian Games runner-up Zhang Yaoguang from Liaoning province was second (8.01m), with Zhuang Jingqiang third (7.89m).
