On April 14, 2024, the Beijing Half Marathon was held as scheduled, and runners from all walks of life gathered together to compete for the championship glory.
When China's He Jie won the crown with a time of 1:03:44, the astonishing result was overshadowed by an embarrassing "escort" incident.
This netizen mentioned He Jie's athlete characteristics, and they believe that He Jie has the characteristics that an excellent athlete should have, especially the kind of bloodiness that does not admit defeat.
A netizen commented: "He Jie is indeed an amazing athlete, his perseverance and determination are admirable.
In this impetuous society, it is rare to be able to keep training and constantly improve your ability. ”
These words were recognized and praised by other netizens, and everyone affirmed He Jie's perseverance and determination. Other netizens talked about their impressions of He Jie's training plan.
They believe that Ho Jie is the most proactive of all athletes in developing training plans and is able to stick to high-volume training.
A netizen said: "He Jie is a self-disciplined person, he knows what he wants, and then he will work hard to fight for it."
His training plan is well thought out, and his ability to execute it consistently is admirable. ”
Other netizens also expressed their appreciation for He Jie's training attitude and perseverance, believing that this is the key to his success.
He Jie threw himself into the race, and his goal was to win the half marathon.
He felt the rubbing of the soles of his feet against the ground, and the soreness in his muscles was no longer a problem, because he knew he had to give it his all.
At the critical moment of his sprint, three black athletes suddenly appeared next to him.
THE THREE BLACK ATHLETES, ONE FROM KENYA, ONE FROM ETHIOPIA, AND A STRANGE-SOUNDING NAME, WILLY MNANGAT.
They kept a certain distance along the way, as if waiting for something. He Jie wondered a little in his heart, could it be that these foreign athletes are also pursuing the same goal?
Just when He Jie was confused, they began to walk side by side with him. Not only did they not surpass He Jie, but they have always maintained the same speed as him.
What surprised He Jie even more was that these black athletes began to show him the way and give way.
He Jie's mood became a little conflicted. On the one hand, he is grateful for the help of these athletes, because their guidance has made him less confused and tired;
On the other hand, he felt that it was not a fair game. After all, this is an individual event, and everyone should rely on their own strength to fight, rather than relying on the help of others.
He began to try to speed up, trying to shake off the black athletes who were running with him. No matter how hard he tries, these athletes always seem to be able to keep up with him.
He felt like he was in a strange predicament, he didn't know what the real purpose of these athletes was, and he didn't know why they were doing it.
Towards the end of the race, He Jie finally crossed the finish line and became the champion. His mood was not as happy as usual, but rather heavy.
He knew that his victory was not entirely achieved by his own efforts, but by the "help" of these black athletes.
For this game, He Jie always has an indescribable feeling in his heart. He is grateful for the help of these athletes, but at the same time questions the fairness of the competition.
He felt that he had not won completely on his own, which made him feel a little lost and unwilling.
The incident has sparked heated discussions among netizens, who have expressed their views and opinions on social media.
Some people feel that the behavior of the three black athletes is simply "escorting" the champion to He Jie, and bluntly say that such a competition lacks fair competition, which makes people feel dissatisfied.
A netizen joked: "Did these three black big brothers join the volunteer team by mistake?
The remark sparked a chorus of laughter, but also reflected a concern for the fairness of the game. Other netizens expressed dissatisfaction with the commentator's attitude.
They believe that the commentators used neutral words to describe the embarrassing scene when commentating the game, trying to justify the actions of the black athletes, but failed to get the approval of netizens.
A netizen commented: "This commentator is too good at rounding the field, using words like 'tacit understanding' and 'mutual promotion' to cover up the actual situation, but he is unwilling to admit that there is a problem in the game." ”
His comments were liked and supported by other netizens, who agreed that the commentator should be honest about the problem and not try to cover it up.
There are also some who disagree with these criticisms. They believe that the three black athletes may simply be out of a friendly and teamwork mentality, hoping to finish the race together.
One netizen said: "Maybe these three black athletes just want to finish the competition with He Jie, encourage each other and help each other, which should be part of the sportsmanship." ”
The remark sparked some discussion, with some arguing that sportsmanship should indeed be a reflection of teamwork and helping each other, but that the principle of fair play should still be maintained in the game.
This is not the first scandal in the Beijing Half Marathon.
Last year, there were frequent incidents of similar unprofessional behavior, such as the guide car blocking the Chinese competitors and the lack of food/health supplies, all of which seriously undermined the fairness and professionalism of the competition, which is embarrassing.
This practice of "escorting and giving way" is a blasphemy against the spirit of sportsmanship, which has triggered a deep reflection and questioning of sports competition ethics and professional ethics.
In the face of this incident, it is not only necessary for the organizers to seriously reflect on their own management level and improve the professionalism and fairness of the competition, but also for the contestants to reflect on their professional ethics.
How He Jie and other contestants should deal with this kind of improper behavior is an issue worthy of in-depth consideration and discussion.
Sports competition is not only a competition, but also a test of personality and morality, and only by respecting the spirit of sportsmanship can we truly win respect and glory.
This incident warns that there are still moral and professional ethics problems in the sports arena, which need to be seriously reflected on and resolved by relevant parties.
Only in this way can we ensure the healthy development of sports and truly carry forward the spirit of sports.
