Pan Shancu has easily won the unofficial gold medal, saying he jogged 66km in a loop at home in six hours, 41 minutes. “I felt a little dizzy at first, but you get used to it after you circle many times,” Pan said from Hangzhou, near Shanghai. They have been ordered by education authorities not to simply lounge about playing computer games and fiddling with their phones. Like hundreds of millions of others, his movements have been severely restricted by the Chinese authorities in an attempt to stop the deadly virus spreading. To make up for the lack of exercise, he twice runs up and down the emergency stairwell of his 17-floor apartment tower three times a day.
