year in Paris there she is going from Lane six and yang gets away very quick indeed she's already up on the outside of leel H of South Africa who's just missed out on so many occasions she was fifth last year in Paris and yang fenfen is roaring around the outside she has a lifetime best of 10.36 Georgie Hermitage of Great Britain holds that world and Championship record that she set back in London of the Championships in 2017 is that going to be in danger from Yang fenfen she's just tightening up a little bit as she comes around that final B with around 150 M left to go she's got some distance out in front at the moment she's around 15 M out in front leel hows there struggling further back as SLA the neutral par Olympic athlete who's coming around down the outside there so it is a long distance he's tightening up slightly the lactic acid the burn is getting and this is of course the coordination impairment category as well so they can tighten up somewhat towards the end the second least of those coordination impairment categories doesn't get that world or Championship record but she does take a gold medal to add to her par Olympic goal that she won back in Tokyo 2020 Yang fenfen wins the goal here in Kobe in 2024 10248 is the official time given she won't mind too much about that she'll just be happy that she's picked up a gold medal for China China's second of the day after also picking up the goal in the men's long jump t11 final as well through cheni Chang so they finished top of the medal table for the last four World par Athletics Championships they're there or thereabouts already after day one as well so Yang picks up the victory adds to that par Olympic title 10248 season bests for second and third and vanur the youngster from Belgium with a lifetime best for her so Brazil after day one lay lead thanks largely to yelton Jax and his world record in the men's 5,000 m t 11 two for China who always up there towards the top r t as always picked up a gold medal for Tunisia to leave them on one gold one silver and one bronze heading all the way down the table we have only had 13 gold medals given out on day one will have the same when it comes to day two that of course nine days here at these World par Athletics Championships in Kobe 2024 the United States will certainly look to lift themselves up the table they have won bronze so far in these championships and they'll look to really rock it somewhat further ahead as we head into day two see you there [Music]
