Unexpected results also came in women's pole vault final, where China's Li Caixia took an unexpected win while the bronze medalist at 2005 Asian championships, Malaysia's Roslinda Samsu, flopped on a surprise.

Li, 22, chose the opening height of 3.80m and then cleared the following three heights on her first attempt. But She failed on the height of 4.45m, so the 4.30m finally turned out to be her winning jump.

"I am not quite satisfied with today's performance as I failed in challenging the height of 4.45m," said Li.

Samsu crossed an opening height of 3.60m on her second attempt but failed to overtake the next height of 3.80m, a far cry from her personal best of 4.40m and seasonal best 4.35m, and ranked only fifth in the final.

China's Wu Sha placed second with 4.15m and South Korea's Choi Yun-Hee the third with 4.00m.

The women's javelin final should have put on a very close tussle among the leading three athletes in Asia, China's Liu Chunhua, Li Lingwei and Japan's Yuki Ebihara, but Ebihara, bronze medalist at the 2006 Doha Asian Games, ranked only fourth in the final, as she posted a below-par mark of 47.03m, more than 13 meters shorter than her personal and season best of 60.84m.

The gold medallist Liu Xiang (C) of China, his compatriot, the silver medallist Shi Dongpeng (L) and the bronze medallist Park Tae-Kyong of South Korea pose together during the awarding ceremony 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
