Dong Bin became only the third athlete from China to win a gold medal in the history of the World Indoor Athletics Championships here Saturday after claiming victory in the triple jump.
The 27-year-old from Changsha led the competition from start to finish, taking gold with a best leap of 17.33m at the Oregon Convention Center.
Germany’s Max Hess took silver with 17.14 while Frenchman Benjamin Compaore won bronze.
Only two other Chinese athletes – sprint hurdler Liu Xiang in 2008 and shot putter Sui Xinmei in 1991 have won gold at the world indoors before.
