NANJING, East China, Oct. 22 (Xinhuanet) -- Olympic champion Xing Huina claimed her second gold medal at the 10th National Games after winning the women's 5,000m final here on Saturday.

    The 21-year-old girl from Shandong province clocked a winning time in 15 minutes 20.03 seconds, nearly one minute shy of the world record of 14:24.48 set by Turkey's 23-year-old Elvan Abeylegesse last year in Bergen.

    Liaoning's Zhu Xiaolin, 21, was beaten to the second place in 15:22.35, while Xi Qiuhong of Beijing was third in 15:25.36.

    Xing, the women's 10,000m gold medalist in Athens Olympics last year, clinched her first gold here in the 10,000m race on Monday.

    Chen Xiaofang, representing the Chinese Army, jumped to lead from the start in Saturday's race but Bao Guiying of Gansu overtook as the front-runner with five laps to go.

    Xing did not break away from the main draw until the last lap, and touched the finish line far ahead of second-placed Zhu. Enditem
