First skyscraper race held in China

Hundreds of runners in China sprinted their way up 82 floors and more than 2000 stairs as the country's first ever "vertical run" was held in a Beijing skyscraper yesterday.
Thomas Dold of Germany emerged on top of the 330 metre tall China World Trade Center Tower 3, Beijing's tallest building, just 10 minutes and 22 seconds.
Around 600 runners took part in the competition, part of an international skyscraper racing circuit which held races at some of the world's tallest buildings.
