HANGZHOU, China (AP): Despite suffering heartbreaks in many top sports such as football, hockey, badminton, basketball and even table tennis, China continued their dominance including many minor sports and continued their domineering ways at the top of the medal table count.

On Friday, Chinese swimmer Wu Shutong took Asian Games gold Friday in the 10-kilometre race, finishing seconds ahead of her competition from Japan in the more-than two-hour race, which she swam just days after her 18th birthday.
