At the Beijing Half Marathon last weekend, as the first brother of the domestic marathon and the domestic marathon record holder, He Jie's championship was not a martial victory, because under the eyes of Kuikui, three foreign athletes once slowed down to run with him, so the gold content of He Jie's half marathon is too low. Since the event was broadcast live across the country, after the end of the game, it quickly began to ferment, and Jia Oringa's qualification was canceled at the last moment before the game, more people felt that this championship was more like a sponsor tailor-made by He Jie in order to promote the brand. In fact, the most controversial point is the true identity of these three black athletes.
If the three of them were guest players in the event, then the matter would definitely be an ironclad violation, but the sponsor has always claimed that they are pacemakers, but judging from the bib number, they are actually more like guest players, because the bib number of the pacemaker will be clearly marked with the word Pacer. So the organizers decided to launch an investigation to give the public the truth, after all, such a thing still hurts everyone's enthusiasm for running a marathon. Finally, on the afternoon of April 19, the Beijing Half Marathon Organizing Committee's investigation results were released, and finally they decided to cancel the results of He Jie and the three foreign runners, confiscate the bonuses, trophies and medals, and the process of the incident was also made public.
When such a thing happens, the sponsor Xtep actually bears the main responsibility, because Xtep recommended 28 domestic and foreign athletes as invited players to the organizer Zhongao Road Running Company, including He Jie and these foreign athletes, but Xtep did not mark these athletes, so the Zhongao Company did not report to the organizing committee, so there was a name on the number bib of these people instead of the word Pacer, and at a distance of 2 kilometers from the finish line, these blacks took the initiative to slow down, and finally He Jie was killed"Escort" is the champion, and the course of the incident is very clear, but for He Jie, it is too embarrassing.
Because of Xtep's own mistakes, He Jie was deeply involved in controversy, and we believe that He Jie has always treated these people as pacemakers, and now that something like this has happened, it is also reminding us that these sponsors must be rigorous in doing things, after all, nothing is too small. Jia Orirenjia was not mentioned in the whole survey, but I think Jia Orirenga should be the most aggrieved, they have already arrived in Beijing but cannot participate because of sponsors, in fact, this has become the consensus of many domestic competitions, which will also mislead many people, that is, a certain brand is very good, and in the end it is driven by interests, I hope this will not affect He Jie's preparation for the Olympic Games.
