World Athletics Championships: China's Feng Bin stuns women's discus for gold

Feng won off of her 69.12-metres opener, a personal best and her strongest performance of the season by a wide margin, as Croatia's Sandra Perkovic secured the silver in a 68.45-metres second attempt. With the home crowd urging her on, Allman rocketed the discus across the field on her third throw and she jumped with excitement but it was marked far short of Feng's effort, and she fumbled her final try for 51.41.

Reigning champion Yaime Perez of Cuba could not find her power, finishing seventh with a best throw of 63.07.
