Taiwan's top hurdler Zhang Bo-ya (張博雅) secured gold in the women’s 60-meter hurdles at the 2026 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in Tianjin, seting a new national record of 8.12 seconds.
The 22-year-old star broke her own national record twice in a single day.
After an initial record-breaking run in the heats, Zhang surged past her Japanese competitors in the final to take Taiwan’s first gold of the meet.
Her victory capped off a successful weekend for the national team, which earned one gold and three silver medals.
Notable performances included Chen Wen-pu (陳玟溥), who smashed a 38-year-old national record in the men’s 60-meter sprint, alongside silvers from long jumper Lin Yu-tang [林昱堂] and sprinter Liao Yan-jun (廖晏均).
Coach Wang Kuo-hui (王國慧) said the result confirms Zhang’s peak condition as she prepares for the upcoming outdoor season and Asian Games qualifiers.
