Competing before an energised home crowd at Taipei Stadium, the 23-year- old from Chinese Taipei threw 91.36m in the final round to break the previous Asian record of 89.15m set by Zhao Qinggang（趙慶剛） of China at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon. In a competition of remarkable quality, Cheng defeated Germany's Andreas Hofmann who reached 91.07m with the competition's final dramatic effort. “Before the competition, I was discussing it with Coach Anders [Borgstrom] and saying I wanted to get past 90 metres and to become Asia’s first to do it," Cheng said. "I wanted to be a javelin legend and to leave an incredible score on home soil." With their performances, Cheng and Hoffman rose to positions 12 and 14 respectively on the all-time performer list and became the 17th and 18th members of the event's still exclusive 90-metre club. https://www.iaaf.org/records/toplists/throws/javelin-throw/outdoor/men/senior Cheng, who entered the competition with an 86.92m lifetime best set last April, took the early lead with an opening round effort of 83.91m. But Hofmann, who opened with an 83.00m throw, took full command in round three when he reached 85.59m, improving in every subsequent round. He threw 85.97m in the fourth, and a near-PB 88.33m in the fifth. Meanwhile, Cheng improved marginally in the fourth round with an 84.37m effort before fouling on his fifth throw. His winning 91.36m blast followed. --
