NEW DELHI, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang secured China's sole gold medal at the BWF World Championships with a men's doubles title here on Sunday.

Liang and Wang overcame Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik 21-17, 21-16 in the tournament's concluding match. The triumph added a major title to their growing resume and spared China from enduring a winless tournament.

Even so, the late success could not offset China's earlier results in the final session, where the team collected silver medals in both mixed doubles and women's doubles.

In the mixed doubles final, France's Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue outlasted top-seeded Chinese pair Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping 22-20, 19-21, 21-15 to capture their country's first-ever gold in the event.

France doubled its tally shortly after when Alex Lanier demolished Japan's Kodai Naraoka 21-11, 21-11 in a lopsided men's singles final, giving the European nation an unprecedented double on badminton's biggest stage.

Also on Sunday, South Korea emerged alongside France as one of the two major winners of finals day, completing a clean sweep of the women's competitions.

Baek Ha-na and Lee So-hee defeated China's defending champions Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning 21-15, 21-15 in the women's doubles final, before world No. 1 singles player An Se-young sealed her second world championship crown with a 21-17, 21-14 victory over Japan's Akane Yamaguchi.
