Another Chinese, Shu Yan, was second in 11.76 and Ayumi Suzuki of Japan
clocked 11.95 for third.
"There were no heats, just the final so that may have affected my time, and
I've just been in the National Games so that may have affected my performance,"
said Qin.
Meanwhile world champion Liu Xia jerked a Games-record 133kg on her way to
gold in the women's 63kg, and Lu Changliang and Jiang Hairong won the men's 77kg
and 85kg respectively as China remained unbeaten in the weightlifting.
In the pool, 13-year-old Jiang Lishuang, who stands just 1.48m (four foot 11)
tall, won the women's 10m platform diving and Xu Hao and Chen Jiaming took the
men's 3m synchronised springboard.
Olympic champions Guo Jingjing and Li Ting encountered little difficulty in
the 3m springboard, finishing more than 50 points clear of nearest rivals Misako
Yamashita and Ryoko Nishii of Japan.
"This was a pretty good performance and I'm satisfied. Tomorrow I go back to
Beijing," said the glamorous Guo, who has been hounded by the media here.
China, who have won all but one diving event, also triumphed in both the
men's and women's individual all-round gymnastics through Feng Jing and Zhang
Nan.
South Korea's Yang Tae-young, robbed of the gold medal at the last Olympics
by a judging error, came third to add to his Athens bronze.
