In this fast-changing sports arena, a Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Marathon, which was originally expected to be high, turned into an unexpected farce. Let's travel back in time to this high-profile sporting event.
Once upon a time, the picturesque Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was bathed in the rising sunshine and is expected to become a new chapter in the history of the marathon. But just as we were looking forward to the event, the sports scene was changing and the marathon controversy was flooding. Do you still remember the scene where the work car blocked the Chinese athletes and volunteers from holding the national flag to interfere with the race? It was a wave again and again in the marathon field, which is still fresh in people's impressions.
However, in this Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Marathon, although there were no volunteers to create chaos again during the race, an incredible scene was staged. At the moment when Xie Dongsheng, the champion of the half marathon, rushed to the line, the two volunteers unceremoniously swept the line belt away, and when Xie Dongsheng completed the line, he opened the line again, allowing the Japanese runner behind him to cross the finish line smoothly. This scene makes people wonder: Couldn't the champion cross the line to the fullest, and was the crossing line specially prepared for Japanese players? This video instantly caused an uproar on the Internet, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.
However, the suspense of this farce does not end at this moment. The Hong Kong Athletics Association of China immediately came forward to respond to Xie Dongsheng's folded crossing belt. The association said that the staff mistakenly put away the crossing belt because they were going to welcome the Ugandan athlete, the champion of the women's category, before the championship crossed the line. In the second preparation, several athletes ran back to the finish line at the same time, resulting in the Japanese crossing the line five seconds before the women's half marathon championship. For Xie Dongsheng, the men's half-marathon champion who lost the line, the organizer's "compensation" is only an apology.
This explanation made netizens question more. At the beginning of the report, it was said that it was wrong to put away the string band, does this mean that the line tie was originally prepared for Xie Dongsheng? However, it later said that the string was for the Ugandan athlete, the champion of the women's group, which was confusing. For a while, netizens asked one after another: Is Xie Dongsheng not worthy of the line-crossing belt? Is it true that only Ugandan players can enjoy the right to cross the line? This question may become a mystery that will never be solved.
This marathon farce is not only staggering, but also triggers deep thinking about the entire marathon field. Sports are not only the glory on the field, but also the silent dedication of the coaches and volunteers behind them. As we immerse ourselves in the battle between winners and losers, should we pay more attention to the people who contribute to the tournament? For women's football, more respect and care should be given, and isn't their dedication worthy of our attention?
This marathon farce may be just a small episode, but the problems behind it are worth pondering. Sports is an art, the crystallization of passion and sweat. But only by operating with heart can we present wonderful performances to the audience. While we love sports, let us pay more attention to those who pay silently for the cause of sports, because it is with them that we have wonderful moments that we appreciate.
