Champ Liu leads China bandwagon to two more golds

GUANGZHOU - Weightlifting legend Liu Chunhong led China to double gold on the fifth day of Asian Games action on Wednesday, taking the host nation's gold medal haul to seven from a possible 10.

Reigning double Olympic champion Liu and compatriot Lu Yong, also a gold medalist at the 2008 Beijing Games, won the women's -69kg and men's -85kg classes at the Dongguan Gymnasium.

The packed venue was treated to high drama by Lu but a no-nonsense display by Liu, who soon scuppered talk that she was gunning for her own world record by playing well within her limits for a second Asiad gold.
