"My performance was not very good but I am satisfied with the silver, my form was not steady after the indoor world championships and I still can't adjust my new shoes, I hope I can restore my form gradually," Zhang said.

The 2016 World Indoor Championship winner Dong Bin also gave China silver as the two-time Asian Indoor Athletics Championships gold medalist jumped 17.07 meters in the men's triple jump, just a slim 0.16 meters behind Christian Taylor of the United States, who claimed gold.
