National champion Zhang Shufeng took the gold of men's high jump but failed to reach his goal of 2.30 meters at the 10th Chinese national Games on Wednesday.

The 20-year-old Zhang from Heilongjiang is a promising high jumper in China as he pocketed the gold at this year's National Championships and grabbed a bronze for China at the 2005 Asian Championships.

Although the young athlete only managed to get across a height of 2.24 meters on Wednesday as he came to Nanjing targeting the height of 2.30 meters, the result is enough for him to claimed thevictory.

The second placer Liang Tong's result was 0.03 meter behind Zhang. The 27-year-old Liang from Beijing was the bronze medallist at the last edition of the National Games.

Huang Haiqiang brought Zhejiang a bronze by 2.18 meters.
