China bagged two gold medals out of four on offer in taekwondo on the sixth competition day of the Chengdu Universiade on Thursday.

Zhou Zeqi defeated Mervenur Erdem of Turkey to win the women's 73kg gold, while Meng Mingkuan won the men's 87kg title after defeating Arian Salimi of Iran in the final.

"The match was a little passive, my opponent's strength was powerful, and I won with my skills," Meng said after the final.

The other two taekwondo golds on Day 6 went to Nahid Kiyanichandeh of Iran in the women's 53kg title and Turkey's Hakan Recber in the men's 63kg.

The men's and women's taekwondo team golds will be up for grabs in Friday's action.
