China's Xie Zhenye breaks Asian men's 200m record in London, Xie Wenjun wins 110m hurdles title

His teammate Xie Wenjun won the 110m hurdles by getting the nod in a photo finish over Wilhem Belocian of France. Both were credited with 13.28 seconds, with the Chinese 0.005 faster. Olympic champion Omar McLeod of the United States finished third in 13.32.

Xie Wenjun said after the race, "I'm always excited to perform in London. But I'm not too satisfied with my time of 13.28. This was down to my start not being to the standard I'm used to, although I did manage to catch them up after a few hurdles which is pleasing."

Jamaica's two-time Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce underlined her status as the world's fastest female sprinter with 100m victory.
