Li Ling of China scaled 4.54 meters in the women's pole vault, surpassing the previous meet record of 4.53m set by compatriot Gao Shuying in the 2005 edition in Incheon, South Korea.
Ren Mingqian made it a 1-2 for China in the event by grabbing the silver medal with a throw of 4.40m, while Thailand's Sukanya Chomchuednee took the bronze with 4.15m.
China's woman javelin thrower Li Lingwei won gold with a new meet record of 60.65 meters, erasing the previous mark of 58.35m by Buoban Phamang of Thailand in 2007.
