National youth athletics championships: Wrapped up

In the final day of the competition, Lu Shangbin from Jiangsu completed a 100m (10.62s, on day 1)/200m (20.99, +0.6m/s) double win. Last month, Lu won the men's 200m in the National Grand Prix final with a pb of 20.74s when competiting with the seniors. On the youth level, he is apparently invincible beating the closest opponent by almost 0.7s. Teng Haining who set the domestic lead in men's 800m in the heat won the final in 1:50.12 without any resistance. Later, he won 1500m in group 1 in 3:54.80 but was exceeded by the group 2 winner, Jiang Jianxiao from Gansu province by 0.36s. On the women's side, Lu Yumei from Jiangsu won 200m in 24.31s. Notable results came from women's javelin when He Daixian from Hunan and Jin Pingping from Tianjin finished top 2 with a pair of tight throws of 50.75m and 50.20m, respectively.
