Japan's Yuki Nakamura won the 10,000-meters to give Japan its only track and field gold as China continued its domination at the East Asian Games on Tuesday.
Japan's Yuki Nakamura wins the men's 10,000 meters in 31 minutes, 59.69 seconds
at the East Asian Games in Macau.
Nakamura beat South Korean Lee Du Haeng by the narrowest of margins in a race that only three runners competed in but Japan have a meager return of just three gold medals after four days of the nine-day games, two of them coming in a non-Olympic event.
"All I knew was that I had to get the gold," said Nakamura, whose win in a time of 31 minutes, 59.69 seconds was followed by another gold medal for Japan in the women's soft tennis event.
