In the last day's competition of the 10th World Climbing Championship, celebrated in Xining, northwest China's Qinghai province, Chinese athlete Zhong Qixin had harvested another gold medal in Sunday's men 15 meters speed climbing.
In quarter final, the Russian athlete Evgeny Vaytsekhovsky climbed to the top of the artificial wall by 6.84 seconds, which broke the world record of 15 meters speed climbing held by Zhong Qixin, the gold medal winner of the previously men's 10 meters speed climbing.
Unfortunately, the genius Evgeny, world ranking No.1 in speed climbing category, made a mistake in the semi-final and fell down from the half of the route. But Zhong Qixin, the fastest Chinese climber, shortened the world record to 6.56 seconds.
The silver medal was taken by Russian Sergey Adbrakhmanov, 7.48 seconds. The other Chinese athlete Zhang Ning took the third place with a result of 7.52 seconds.
