In the long history of the World Track and Field Championships, the United States team was the absolute overlord. Previously, it won a total of 170 golds, 117 silvers and 94 bronzes, and the German team ranked second to win 62 golds, 61 silvers and 66 bronzes. Since the 21st century, with their respective advantages in sprinting and medium and long-distance running , Jamaica and Kenya have threatened the dominance of the United States in several World Championships, but the latter has better overall strength.
Chinese track and field team also has its own traditional advantage events, ranking at the forefront in women's race walking, women's throwing and other events. Since the 2007 World Championships, gold medals have been recorded in each World Championships. Since the 2011 World Championships, each World Championships has won at least 6 medals, gradually occupying a place in the fiercely competitive World Championships stage.
3 years ago at the Doha World Championships, the Chinese team won 3 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze, ranking fourth in the medal list, with 3 gold medals second only to the 1993 World Championships, and 9 medals tied the record of the 2015 World Championships, which was a great harvest. When moving to the Eugene World Championships, the Chinese team won 2 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronzes. Although the number of medals has decreased, the distribution of good results has become more comprehensive.
In the 2019 World Championships, all 9 medals of the Chinese team came from women's race walks and women's throwing events. Among them, women's race walks won 2 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze, and women's shot put, javelin, strand won 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze, and 1 bronze, respectively. Three years later, Eugene's medals came from women's discus, men's long jump, women's shot put, women's race walk, men's triple jump and other events.
The Chinese team sent a total of 53 athletes to the Eugene World Championships to participate in the competition for 23 events, of which 10 events had a total of 13 people breaking into the top eight.

surprise
women's discus Feng Bin won gold, men's long jump Wang Jianan's first championship
women's discus is a traditional advantage event of the Chinese track and field team. Since Min Chunfeng won the bronze medal at the 1993 World Championships, Chinese athletes have always been a frequent visitor to the World Championships finals, with 16 people winning the top eight in the World Championships. In the 2011 Daegu World Championships, famous player Li Yanfeng won the first World Championships gold medal for the Chinese women's discus.
After famous players such as Li Yanfeng faded out of the professional arena, the update of Chinese women's discus was very successful. Su Xinyue , Chen Yang , Feng Bin and other newcomers stood up. Since the 2015 World Championships, Chinese women's discus players have never missed the World Championships finals. Although they failed to stand on the podium again, they are always chasing the footsteps of their predecessors.
until the Eugene World Championships, Feng Bin, who participated alone, brought surprises. In the women's discus final on July 21, Feng Bin made a big hit with 69 meters in his first shot, and eventually beat , Perkovic and Alman, two Olympic champions, to win the championship. At the age of 28, she won the second gold medal in the history of the Chinese women's discus in the World Championships.
The breakthrough in the men's long jump are even more shocking.In the final on July 17, Wang Jianan jumped out of 8.36 meters in the last jump, winning the championship with Olympic champion Tentor Glou. Not only did he win the first gold medal for the Chinese track and field team in the Eugene World Championships, but he also became the first men's field championship in the history of Chinese track and field.
Before this, the best result of the Chinese men's long jump World Championships was the bronze medal, which was set by Wang Jianan in 2015. Now he has successfully set a record he has maintained. In addition, after Liu Xiang, Wang Hao, and Chen Ding, won the championship in , Liu Xiang, and Chen Ding, , Wang Jianan also became the fourth men's World Championships in Chinese track and field history, helping China's men's field competition and men's long jump to achieve historic breakthroughs.

2019 Doha World Championships, the Chinese women's race walk showed strong dominance, Liu Hong, Jieyang Shijie, Yang Liujing won the top three women's 20 kilometers race walk , Liang Rui and Li Maocuo won the gold and silver medals of women's 50 kilometers race walk respectively. Compared with three years ago, the performance of Chinese women's race in Eugene was relatively dull, but considering the influence of many factors, this year's results have become very difficult.
Women's 20-kilometer race walk event, the Chinese team sent a lineup of new and old, with two Olympic champions, Liu Hong and Jie Yang Shijie, as well as Ma Zhenxia, and Wu Quanming, , participated in the competition. Jie Yang Shijie won a precious bronze medal, and Liu Hong won fifth place. Since 2009, Chinese athletes have been on the podium of the event for seven consecutive World Championships, and the number of medals has increased to 15, continuing to rank first among all participating teams.
Women's 35-kilometer race walk is a new event in the Eugene World Championships. When Liang Rui, the last women's 50-kilometer race walk champion, did not participate in the competition, Sister Cheyang Shi shouldered heavy responsibilities and had two events, and finally won another bronze medal for the Chinese team. Although there are regrets, it points out the direction for Chinese women's race to move forward in the Paris Olympic cycle.
As the new Olympic champion, this year is Gong Lijiao's eighth time to compete in the World Championships. In addition to winning the sixth place in the 2007 World Championships, Gong Lijiao has never fallen out of the top three since he won the bronze medal for the first time in 2009. He also won two consecutive World Championships in 2017 and 2019. He won a total of 2 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronzes in the previous seven World Championships.
Judging from the performance of this World Championships, Gong Lijiao's final results of 20.39 meters are already outstanding enough, higher than his personal final results of the past seven World Championships. Unfortunately, American player Chase Eli is at the peak of his career, and this year he has made new personal best results. Gong Lijiao eventually lost to his opponent. Even so, 33-year-old Gong Lijiao still gained a lot. She won the seventh World Championship medal in her eighth World Championship journey in her personal career.
