JAKARTA, Aug. 24 -- China won two more gymnastics golds at the Asian Games here on Friday to top the medal tally with an impressive 18 medals.
Previously, China won six gold medals from men's and women's team and all-around events, as well as rings and uneven bars finals. In total, the Chinese gymnasts brought home eight gold, five silver and five bronze medals.
On Friday, Zou Jingyuan and Xiao Ruoteng wrapped up the gold and silver medals for China from the parallel bars final. Japanese Kenta Chiba took the bronze.
China's Chen Yile showed no signs of wear and tear after winning two golds in the team and all-around events to claim her third gold medal from the beam final with 14.600 points. Her teammate Zhang Jin won the bronze with 13.325 points.
The 16-year-old Chen, who finished fifth on the floor exercise later in the day, showed determination to polish her skills for new high.
"I'm quite aware that vault and floor exercise can always weigh me down. That's exactly what I will work for with extra efforts in the future," said Chen, shyly.
Kim Su Jong from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) won the beam silver with 13.400 points, but she came back strongly to end the country's gold drought at this Asian Games in floor exercise.
It is a memorable day for host Indonesia as its history of gymnastics has been rewritten twice in a day.
First came Agus Adi Prayoko, 29, who made history in the men's vault by winning the bronze medal in the deafening cheers of home fans. It is the first-ever gymnastics medal for Indonesia at the Asian Games.
