Aisikaier Wubulikaisimu of China races on the 300-meter-high steel wire during the "Running Wireman" competition in Wulong county, Chongqing, 30 March 2016.....Swiss man Freddy Nock, 51, won a competition of walking on steel wires above a giant sinkhole in southwest China's Chongqing municipality on Wednesday (30 March 2016). Freddy finished the 100-meter walk within 42.04 seconds on the 300-meter-high steel wire in the challenge "Running Wireman" above the world natural heritage site in Wulong county of Chongqing. The other two competitors were Aisikaier Wubulikaisimu from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Maurizio Zavatta from Italy. When the challenge was held in the morning, it started to drizzle, which made the steel wire slippery. (KEYSTONE/CHINAIMAGES/Li hua)
