JAKARTA, Aug. 24 -- China continued their irrepressible march towards final medal table glory by winning 11 more golds, including three from swimming and two from gymnastics, at the 2018 Asian Games on Friday.
With a slice advantage of 0.04 seconds, China won the men's 4x100m medley relay, the last final of the six-day swimming competition in Jakarta, to tie arch-rival Japan 19-19 on the gold medal tally of the swimming competitions.
Singapore won the other two golds, while South Korea pocketed another one from the 41-gold bonanza in the pool.
The Chinese quartet, composed of three-time Asian backstroke champion Xu Jiayu, and teammates Yan Zibei, Li Zhuhao and Yu Hexin, beat pre-Games favorites Japan to take the relay title in a Games record of 3 minutes and 29.99 seconds.
Earlier, triple Olympic champion Sun Yang continued to dominate the mid-long distance freesytles as he claimed the men's 1,500m in 14:58.53.
"It's not easy for me to win the event for three consecutive Asian Games. I was rusty and exhausted after 4x100m freestyle relay. I even thought of quitting the event, but eventually I did my best as I could," said Sun in tears.
Sun swept all the gold medals from 200m, 400m, 800m and 1,500m freestyles and collected a pair of silvers from the freestyle relays in Jakarta.
The 16-year-old Wang Jianjiahe of China added the 400m freestyle title to her golden collection of 800m and 1,500m free as well as the 4x200m free relay, by storming home with a Games record of 4:03.18.
