China see big hopes in the young speed skating team after they clinched four out of eight golds on offer in the Winter Asiad short track competitions, said head coach Li Yan on Wednesday at the 6th Asian Winter Games.

"I am happy with the overall results, but more importantly, we have a young team, a team full of hope," said Li, who coached American Apolo Anton Ohno to the 500m title in last year's Turin Olympic Games.

Turin Olympic champion Wang Meng, 21, and her teammates Fu Tianyu, 28 and Zhu Mile, 22, made a clean sweep in the women's 500m.

Hu Ze, 23, was the surprise winner in the men's 500m and the 21-year-old Sui Baoku upset Olympic champion Ahn Hyun Soo to win 1,500m.
