Sprinter Xie Zhenye says his historic 200m victory in London is a dream come true - and he's targeting more glory at the upcoming world championships and the Tokyo Olympics.
On Sunday, the 25-year-old from Shaoxing in Zhejiang province became the first Asia-born athlete to break the 20-second barrier in the 200 by clocking 19.88 seconds to beat Britain's Miguel Francis (19.97) on the London stop of the IAAF Diamond League.
