China will send a team of 89 athletes to compete in all the 42 events at the Asian Championships with the expectation of winning 10 to 12 gold medals.
Apart from Gong, female javelin thrower Lyu is the other world top ranked athlete in the squad. And the 29-year-old world silver medalist has been enjoying a fly start in the current season as she just improved her own Asian record to 67.72m last week.
The squad also includes long jumper Huang Changzhou who won a bronze medal at the 2016 World Indoor Championships as well as men's 100m Asian record holder Su Bingtian, who will only participate in the 4x100m relay event in Doha this time.
