Chinese gymnasts secured the women's team title Wednesday at the ongoing 14th Asian Games, which is scheduled from Sept. 29 to oct. 14, while DPRK finished second.

The Chinese team accumulated 147.75 scores, well ahead of DPRK's 138.825 and Japan's 137.825.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea contested in the first group at 3:00.

Last Asiad Bronze winner Kazakhstan was edged to the sixth place, while host South Korea came fourth.

The team, composed by Chen Miaojie, Huang Jing, Kang Xin, Liu Wei, Sun Xiaojiao and Zhang Nan, collected the highest accumulation on their strong apparatuse beam.

Kang Xin, all-around champion of China's Ninth National Games, recorded a day high of 9.65 on the apparatus despite an unstable landing.

Zhang Nan got 9.625 on the beam, while Sun Xiaojiao, who grabbed a bronze in the World Gymnastics Championships last year in Ghent, recorded 9.575 points on her specialty beam.
