Tarek Mubark of Bahrain defended his title in the men's 3,000m steeplechase. The winner of the event in the 2006 Doha Asian Games, established an early lead to clock eight minutes and 33.58 seconds in a rainy night.
"The rain was not a problem," said he. "I'm happy to defend my title and now I have no regrets here."
"My aim is to be an Olympic champion, and I have thought about it for over five years," he added.
Lin Xiangqian of China fought back from behind to take the silver in 8:34.13. Abubaker Ali Kamal of Qatar, bronze medallist of 800m and 1,500m at last Asian championships, finished third in 8:34.73.
Liu Xiang of China competes during the final of men's 110m hurdles at the 18th Asian Athletics Championships in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province, Nov. 12, 2009. Liu won the gold with 13.50 seconds
In men's long jump, athletes from Saudi Arabia have been crowned at five straight Asian championships since 2000, but this time the domination was broken down by China's Li Jinzhe. Li, 20, posted a mark of 8.16m, making him unbeatable in the final. The pre-event favorite Hussain Taher A Al Saba of Saudi Arabia recorded a below-par 7.96m, far from personal and seasonal best of 8.35m.
Al Saba grabbed the silver and China's Yu Zhenwei was third.
"I perform normally today," said 30-year-old Al Saba. "I would probably clinch the gold medal if I'm going to participate in next year's Asian Games."
