"We are excited to see more-balanced progress achieved by China at the World Championships, showcased by podium finishes in all four disciplines of walking, running and jumping as well as throwing, for the first time in the history of Chinese athletics," Du Zhaocai, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) council member and vice-chairman of the Chinese Athletics Association, made the comments at a news conference on Sunday.
國際田聯理事、中國田徑協會副主席杜兆才在30日召開的新聞發布會上表示：“中國田徑在本次世錦賽上整體取得了一定的進步，在走跑跳投上都取得獎牌，這種表現在中國田徑史上是第一次。”

China's solid improvement in athletics also attracted the attention of Sebastian Coe, the new president of the IAAF. "It's very obvious that China will play a huge part in the development of our sport going forward. They were very keen to establish some expertise in many other disciplines in track and field. The relay silver is pretty indicative of the progress that Chinese athletes have made," the Briton said on Sunday.
