IAAF - The third leg of the 2005 IAAF Race Walking Challenge in the city of Cixi, China, lived up to the expectations of quality fields. This time, however, it was not a Chinese walker finishing first, but the 2004 Olympic bronze medallist Nathan Deakes (AUS). Deakes crushed his four-year-old Oceanian record of 1:18:14 setting a whole new standard with his winning mark of 1:17:34.
Deakes' time is also a world leading time in 2005 surpassing Vladimir Parvatkinís (RUS) 1:18:06 which he walked in Sochi in March.
