Wang Zheng bagged a bronze with 74.76 meters in women's hammer throw, the first medal for the Chinese team in Doha as American DeAnna Price threw 77.54m to take the title.
"Today I just wanted to perform well, I did not expect to win a medal. I guess my shape must be good because I hit the net three times!" said Wang, silver medalist at London world championships two years ago.
Tajay Gayle created history by taking Jamaica's first men's long jump gold medal at the world championships as he stunned the field to win in 8.69m, improving his personal best by 37 centimeters. The 23-year-old already had a show of form in his first attempt of 8.46, a result which was enough to secure his victory.
Olympic champion Jeff Henderson of the United States bagged a silver in 8.39 and Cuba's Juan Miguel Echevarria was third in 8.34.
"I just focus on one thing. I did not let anything to disturb or distract me," Gayle said.
