The marathon has re-emerged, and foreign runners are "suspected of assisting" Chinese runners to win the championship
Recently, the domestic marathon venue has once again become the focus of public opinion. In the high-profile 2024 Beijing Half Marathon, a seemingly ordinary race has hidden waves. Chinese star He Jie won the championship with an outstanding performance, however, the story behind it has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions.
In the race, three foreign competitors, Robert Keter and WILLY MNANGAT of Kenya and DEJENE HAILU BIKILA of Ethiopia, tied for second place with a time of just one second behind champion He Jie. However, their performance in the game was a big surprise. According to the audience and netizens, these three players did not seem to go all out in the game, but played more of a "companion" role, as if they were "assisting" He Jie to win the championship.
This unusual phenomenon quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some have questioned that this practice of "escort yielding" is completely contrary to the spirit of sportsmanship and considers it a blasphemy of the marathon. Some people joked that the acting skills of these three foreign contestants were too clumsy, and they should directly carry a sedan chair to send He Jie to the line, which would be more enjoyable.
At the same time, it also reminds people of the frequent scandals in domestic marathons in recent years. From the guide car blocking the runners' path, to the lack of supplies, to various unprofessional behaviors, these incidents have exposed the loopholes and deficiencies in the organization and management of domestic marathons.
With regard to this incident, we cannot help but ask: Is this a loss of sportsmanship or a failure in the management of events? On the road of pursuing achievements and honors, have we forgotten the original intention and essence of sports? Sports should be a fair competition and a stage for the players to write brilliant stories with sweat and hard work. However, when achievements and honors become the only pursuit, when interests and temptations erode the purity of sports, can we still maintain that love and respect for sports?
We hope that the organizers and relevant departments can find out the truth as soon as possible and give the public a reasonable explanation. At the same time, we also call on all competitors to uphold sportsmanship and professional ethics, and prove themselves with strength and results, rather than relying on this controversial way to win the championship. Because, the real champions should be those who stand out in a fair competition with their own hard work and talent.
In addition, we should also recognize that sports competition is not only a competition, but also a spiritual and moral contest. On the field, we must not only pursue achievements and honors, but also respect the efforts and dedication of every player, and respect the fairness and justice of the competition. Only in this way can we truly experience the joy and passion that sports bring and make sports an indispensable part of our lives.
At the same time, we should also note that this incident has also sounded the alarm bell for us. As spectators and fans, we should not only pay attention to the achievements and honors of the players, but also pay attention to their character and behavior. We should look at the game with a rational and objective attitude, not blindly pursue and worship, and should not spread unverified information and rumors.
For the organizers and event organizers, they should learn from this incident, strengthen the management and organization of the event, and improve the fairness and impartiality of the competition. They should strengthen the training and education of athletes, improve their professionalism and moral level, and let them understand the true meaning and significance of sports competitions. At the same time, they should also strengthen the guidance and education of the audience, so that they can look at the game with a correct attitude and support their favorite players in a rational way.
In conclusion, this incident reminds us once again that both players and spectators should always maintain awe and respect for sportsmanship. We should look at the game with a fair, just and open attitude, and support our favorite players in a rational and objective way. Only in this way can we work together to create a better and purer sports environment, where everyone can play their best in the competition and achieve their dreams and goals.
In the future, we look forward to seeing more players prove their worth with strength and talent, and write their own brilliance with sweat and hard work. We also look forward to seeing more viewers look at the game with a rational and objective attitude, and support their favorite players in the right way. At the same time, we also hope that the organizers and event organizers can strengthen the management and organization, improve the level and quality of the competition, and bring us more exciting and fair sports feasts.
Let us work together to protect the purity and dignity of sport, make it an indispensable part of our lives, and bring endless joy and strength to our spirits and bodies.
