Xi'an, September 22 (Hao Lingyu) -- At the men's 10,000-meter final of the National Games on the evening of the 21st, the last National Games champion Dobje and the yunnan veteran Dong Guojian of the three-game Olympic Games staged a peak duel. In the end, Dobje won the championship in 28 minutes 35 seconds 24 seconds. Short-jumper Xie Wenjun ran 13.58 seconds in the men's 110m hurdles to finish first among all the runners and advance to the final.

At the beginning of the men's 10,000-meter competition, the players of Tibet and Yunnan began to gradually distance themselves from the large troops. The players of the two teams continue to change their formations and advance forward, constantly improving the overall pace. Both Dobje and Dong Guojian followed the advance in the large force.

The race went to 6,000 meters, and after several speed-ups, only Dobje and Dong Guojian were left in the first group. After that, Dong Guojian tried to accelerate when leading, but did not shake off Dobje. The summit showdown also brought the atmosphere of the arena to a climax, and the audience began a relay of people under the leadership of the host, cheering for the two runners on the track with a burst of cheers.

By the last three laps, Dobje led the way with a key acceleration counter-overtaking, and gradually expanded the distance with Dong Guojian, and finally crossed the finish line first with a time of 28 minutes 35.24 seconds to complete the championship defense. After the game, Dobje said that he was also very excited to win the championship again, and he also played at his due level in the game. Silver medalist Dong Guojian said that his recovery after participating in the Olympic Games was not as expected, and there was still a gap in his recovery ability compared with young athletes.

In the men's 110m hurdles preliminary round of the National Games, Xie Wenjun appeared in the third group. Although his starting reaction time was slightly slower, he still managed to advance to the first place in the group without suspense. After the game, Xie Wenjun said that there was still a little problem with the back course, but the overall situation was not bad. When it comes to injuries, Xie Wenjun admits that foot injuries will still have an impact on his own performance.

If Xie Wenjun can overcome the impact of injury and illness to win the championship this time, he will equal the record of his brother Liu Xiang's three consecutive championships at the National Games.

The men's 110m final will take place on 22 September. (End)
