On November 19, the first Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao East Asia Half Marathon Championship was held in the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Section. The event attracted invited runners from 8 countries and elite runners from 7 East Asian countries and regions. Chinese athlete Xie Dongsheng won the men's championship with outstanding results, and his performance was eye-catching.
When Xie Dongsheng crossed the finish line, there was a scene of concern at the scene: some on-site personnel removed the banner from the finish line. The move raised doubts about discrimination. However, the results showed that China's Xie Dongsheng was in first place, followed by Japan's Yosho Hayashida in second and South Korea in third.
It is worth mentioning that this year's Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Half Marathon Challenge Group not only has outstanding runners from all over the world, but also movie star Chow Yun-fat participates. In response, the organizing committee said that they issued a statement to explain the reason for putting away the banner.
The statement said that during the game, some players Zhang Yunteng were found by the referee for violations and given a warning. Before the finish line, the referee dealt with Zhang Yunteng to maintain the fairness of the race. Therefore, when Zhang Yunteng crossed the finish line, the on-site personnel removed the banner. This is a normal tournament process designed to ensure that all participants can compete fairly.
Is this a normal statement? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is clearly discrimination! Who is the organizer? It is rumored on the Internet that it is Zhimei Sports, but Zhimei Sports has issued a statement that it is not the organizer!
Recently, some self-media have spread rumors about our company and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Marathon, and our company declares as follows:
Our company did not participate in this event. In response to our company's malicious attacks, rumors and rumors, our company has completed the collection of evidence materials and will submit it to the court for prosecution.
It is reported that the organizer of this marathon is a company in Hong Kong, not Zhimei Sports!
The incident sparked widespread concern and controversy, with many people believing it to be disrespectful and discriminatory against Chinese players.
In response to the incident, the tournament organizers have issued a statement saying that it was a mistake and apologized to Xie Dongsheng and the Chinese participants. They stressed their support for the principles of fairness, justice and respect and pledged to strengthen training and management of similar situations.
This incident is yet another reminder of the importance of respecting athletes and participants from different countries. In the competition, it should be ensured that every player is treated fairly and with respect. The organizers of the event need to strengthen the training of relevant staff to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents and ensure the fairness and authenticity of the competition.
