Chinese skipper Xu Jingkun makes historic debut in Vendee Globe
As the first-ever Chinese skipper to compete in the Vendee Globe, Xu Jingkun set off from the port of Les Sables-d'Olonne on Sunday in the 10th edition of the legendary solo, non-stop, around-the-world yacht race.
"I feel great right now - excited, a little nervous, but mostly thrilled. After all these years, this dream is finally in front of me, and I can't wait to start," Xu, 35, shared in an interview with Xinhua ahead of his adventure.
