Chinese ultra-trail runner Zhao Jiaju has won the 330-kilometer category of Italy's Tor des Géants, becoming the first Chinese and Asian runner to claim the overall title since the event began. Crossing the finish line in Courmayeur in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, Zhao completed the race in 65 hours, 55 minutes and 22 seconds, beating the previous course record by 13 minutes. Tor des Géants is regarded as one of the world's toughest ultra-trail racers. Zhao's aggressive approach, where he ran for 35 hours and 42 minutes before stopping at his first checkpoint and sleeping for only around 20 minutes, ultimately did the trick.#china #delivery #deliverydriver 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.goo
