The 26-year-old clocked a stunning 22.69 seconds at the Morodok Tecno National Stadium to retain the gold she won at last year's Hanoi Games, and shatter the Games record of 23.01sec set by the Philippines' Kristina Knott in 2019.

It also broke her own national record of 22.89sec set last month in Brisbane, and finishing nearly one second ahead of silver medallist Thi Nhi Yen Tran of Vietnam (23.54sec). Malaysia's Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli came in third in 23.60sec.

This winning time is Asian Games level. Better than the previous Asian Games gold winning time in 2018 of 22.96 (Edidiong Odiong, Bahrain).

Asian Games record was 22.48 (Damayanthi Dharsha, Sri Lanka) back in 1998 while Asian record is 22.01 (Li Xuemei, China) back in 1997. Since then, women's 200m did not improve in Asia.
