Severe weather kills at least 21 cross country runners in China.
"At least 21 people have died as extreme weather struck a cross-country mountain race in north-western China.
On Saturday high winds and freezing rain hit participants in the 100km (60-mile) race in the Yellow River Stone Forest, a tourist site in Gansu province, state-run media reported.
The race was halted when some of the 172 runners went missing, Xinhua news agency said.
The bodies were found by search-and-rescue teams on Sunday."
