Chinese athletes exceeding expectations at Worlds

While Jamaican Usain Bolt stunned the world with his sensational 100m run at the Berlin World Championships, Chinese athletes have also surprised with a good start to the competition.

After race walker Wang Hao claimed a silver in the men's 20km on the opening day, his female's counterpart, Liu Hong, added a bronze on Sunday in her 20km walk and women's shot putter Gong Lijiao also finished third with a personal best of 19.89m.

The three medals mark China's best start since they first took part in the event in 1983.
