Biography
editZhiqiang was born in the Cangqian district of Yuhang, part of the Hangzhou city in the Zhejiang province of China.[1]
At the 2016 Asian Junior Athletics Championships, Feng earned his first international medal by placing 2nd in the 400 m hurdles.[3]
The following year, Feng won his first senior national title at the 2017 National Games. He was noted for being just a teenager despite beating multiple senior athletes.[4][5]
In 2018, Feng was selected to represent China at the 2018 Asian Games in the 400 m hurdles, but he was the only athlete not to start the competition.[6] In 2019, Feng was finally able to start the race at the Asian Athletics Championships, in both the 400 m hurdles where he was the fastest athlete to not qualify for the final, and in the mixed 4 × 400 m relay where his team finished 5th.[2] At the 2019 IAAF World Relays, Feng competed in the mixed 4 × 400 m again, this time with a different team including Wu Yuang as the anchor. China finished 4th in the B final, and 8th overall.[2]
At the 2020 Chinese Athletics Championships, Feng backed up his 2017 National Games win with his first Chinese Athletics Championships victory, finishing 1st in the 400 m hurdles.[7]
