Ma Rui, competing at home for the first time as an adidas-signed athlete, ran 1:02:49 to take third overall and first among domestic runners, improving his PB by 2 seconds and qualifying as an international-class athlete — a clear statement of ability. Sang Jidongzhi, in his first race after leaving the national system, claimed the domestic men's runner-up spot. Men's third-place Tang Haoran also set a personal best; as the National Games 10,000m champion, his road-running performance is equally eye-catching. Xu Shuangshuang, the four-time Shanghai Half Marathon champion, showed dominant form at her Shanghai home race, clocking 1:09:34 for a PB and breaking the 70-minute barrier. 22-year-old Ningxia youngster Yang Yiting celebrated her birthday with her second half marathon and finished second among domestic women. From last year’s Xiamen Huan Dong time of 1:13:15 to this year’s Shanghai Half Marathon she improved her PB by more than three minutes — very promising. After the Tokyo Marathon, Li Zhixuan still finished third among domestic women — true to form, her condition remains steady. Li Jian and Wu Xiangdong ran together on the course, finishing 15th and 19th among men respectively. Congratulations to Tiedan on his PB.
