Reigning national champion Liu Xiaosheng matched up the pro-tournament expectation in Wuhan on Tuesday, claiming the men's 400 meters triumph breezily at the 6th Chinese City Games.
The 19-year-old, who won the Chinese athletics national championships last August on 46.41, touched the finishing line with around three meters ahead of the closest trailers and clocked46.59 seconds for the title.
Chen Mingyu of Zhanjiang, who participated in last August's World University Games but failed to make the final in Bangkok, settled for the silver medal after timing 47.80s, outrunning Shanghai Pudong's Guo Jian narrowly with a 0.06s edge.
Promising star Hu Chengjiang, who's training alongside with China's leading men's 100m sprinter Yang Yaozu under Shanghai's famous coach Liu Xia, finished fifth with a time of 47.99s behind Zhanjiang's Cui Haojing with 47.93s.
