Do the right thing, and any timing is a good time.
Faith is to take the first step when you can't see the entire staircase!
For a long time, China's competitive sports have been "yin sheng yang decline". This is especially true for the middle and long distance running project, chinese women's middle and long-distance runners Wang Junxia, Xing Huina, Qu Yunxia, Liu Dong, Bai Xue, Zhou Chunxiu and others have won the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup championships for the Chinese team many times.
The Chinese men's long-distance running record in the international arena has been unsatisfactory, not to mention the Olympic Games, world championships, World Cup and other world venues, even the Asian Games, Chinese men's middle-distance runners only have two championship experiences, which also dates back to the 1982 New Delhi Games and the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games.

When you're at a low, all effort is upwards
On March 24, The Tibetan famous Dobje, who created the best result of the Chinese men's marathon in nearly 12 years at the Xuzhou Marathon, won the "double crown" of the men's 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters of the National Athletics Grand Prix (Huangshi Station in Hubei Province), thus achieving the "triple crown" of the new season.
2019 Beijing Half Marathon
At the Sihong International Marathon on March 31, Liu Hongliang, a famous athlete from Inner Mongolia who created the best result of the Chinese men's half marathon in nearly eight years, won the championship at the Beijing Half Marathon.
Veteran Dong Guojian once again performed the spirit of never giving up in the Wuhan Marathon with an amazing performance of 2 hours, 12 minutes and 34 seconds!
Although the performance of Chinese manhood is far from the return of the real king, it at least brings us a long-lost touch and strength, which is enough to win applause and respect!

Fate favors the brave, and it must be cool to insist
2 hours 10 minutes and 31 seconds! On March 24, the Chinese men's marathon ushered in a long-lost "breakthrough". Dobje, a 25-year-old Tibetan boy, became the first male middle-distance runner in China to win a seat at the Tokyo Olympics, and deservedly won the "first brother" of the Chinese men's marathon.
Dobje was born in 1994 in rural Lhasa, Tibet, to parents who grew barley and raised yaks for a living. In 2009, Dobje began to contact the professional training of middle and long-distance running. In 2014, Dobje won his first national title.
In September 2017, Dobje defeated big brother Dong Guojian to win the men's 10,000 meters of the Tianjin National Games with a time of 28 minutes 26.86 seconds, which was also the first gold medal in athletics at the National Games in The history of Tibet.
In August 2018, Dobje won the bronze medal in the men's marathon at the Jakarta Asian Games, the first Asian Games medal for a Chinese male marathoner.
Dobje, athletically gifted, belongs to the rare genius level athletes, coupled with training hard work, tenacious competition style, is currently one of the few Chinese male marathon runners who have the hope of impacting the international competition rankings.
As the current leader of China's men's marathon, Dobje is valuable in that he is not tempted by the current hot marathon market, and his heart is very determined, aiming to pursue the goals of higher stages such as the Olympic Games and the World Championships.
In November 2018, Dobje traveled to Ethiopia to train with a number of famous Ethiopian players, including the three sisters of di baba. After more than three months of fully enclosed training, Dobje has shown such amazing hard strength at the beginning of the new season.

According to industry sources, at this Asian Championship, Dobje's goal is to hit the "28 points" mark.
Choose what you like, love what you choose, and one day you'll be proud of yourself! Come on, Dobje!

If you can't change the reality, then strengthen yourself
Liu Hongliang, 22 years old this year, can be said to be "teenager famous". In 2014, 17-year-old Liu Hongliang began to participate in the national competition, and since then, he has been out of control, winning the men's 5000 meters and 10000 meters championships in the national youth championships, the men's 3000 meters championship in the Asian Youth Championships, breaking the national youth record of the men's 3000 meters (8 minutes 09.58 seconds), and the men's 5000 meters and 10000 meters championships in the National Athletics Grand Prix.
2017 Jinan National Athletics Championships men's 5000 meters
In the 2017 men's 5,000m final of the National Athletics Championships, Liu Hongliang defeated the famous Dobje with a strong sprint to win the gold-laden national championship for the second time.
2018 National Athletics Grand Prix (Fuling Station) Men's 5000 meters
In 2018, in the men's 5,000m final of the National Athletics Grand Prix, Liu Hongliang once again used his speed to win the championship against the winning favorite Dobje.

However, just as Liu Hongliang ushered in his golden sports career. In the autumn of 2018, Liu Hongliang and his brother Li Chunhui suddenly received a notice from the Inner Mongolia Sports Bureau to let the two of them go to the sports team to choose a new coach for training, otherwise they would face the consequences of withdrawing from the system.
In the end, Liu Hongliang and Li Chunhui did not hesitate to choose to continue to train with Coach Yin Changxi.
In the development of Competitive Sports in China, there are countless athletes like Liu Hongliang who have sacrificed themselves to the "struggle of various factions" within the system, and if this is the helplessness of athletes, it is better to say that it is the sadness of Chinese competitive sports!
Withdrawing from the system means that Liu Hongliang will not be able to continue to participate in the national competitions in the system, and can only be forced to give up his main events of 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters and begin to seek a breakthrough in the marathon events that he is not good at.
The winter of 2018 was the most bitter winter training for Liu Hongliang. At the beginning of the 2019 season, Liu Hongliang refreshed his full horse (2 hours, 15 minutes and 23 seconds) PB and half horse (64 minutes and 10 seconds) PB in the Wuxi Marathon and Sihong Marathon.
For Liu Hongliang, a former middle-distance runner in the Chinese national team, although you have lost the opportunity to play for the country again, you are born different and are destined not to drown in the crowd. Come on, Liu Hongliang!

Knowing that he is no longer young, he still chooses to stick to it
2 hours 12 minutes and 34 seconds! In just 21 days, 32-year-old veteran Dong Guojian ran into 2 hours and 13 minutes for the second time (the standard of international athletes), once again interpreting the marathon spirit of never giving up.
32 years old, in the field of Chinese competitive sports, belongs to the age of "eclipse". However, veteran Dong Guojian ran the second and third best marathon results in his personal sports career, and achieved the honor of "Golden Slam" of the National Games, the National Athletics Championships, the National Athletics Championships, and the National Athletics Grand Prix in 2017.
Back in 2009, a decade ago, 22-year-old Dong Guojian won the third place in the men's group with a time of 62 minutes and 51 seconds at the Yangzhou International Half Marathon, setting a national record for the men's half marathon and becoming the only athlete in China to run the "63 points" mark in a half marathon.
That year, Dong Guojian also ran 8 minutes 06 seconds 29 (PB) in the 3000 meters in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, 13 minutes 43 seconds 47 (PB) in the 5000 meters in Jinan, Shandong Province, and 28 minutes 17 seconds 60 (PB) in the 10,000 meters, reaching the peak of his sports career.
Contemporaries Ren Longyun, Han Gang, Zheng Kai, Sun Wenyong, Lin Xiangqian and other competitors have been retired for many years. Zheng Kai has trained Luo Yuxi, Qi Zhenfei and many other active Chinese national team players.
Now, exactly ten years later, the 32-year-old Dong Guojian's level of competition still represents the highest level of Chinese marathons, and it is rare to be able to maintain such a long "high-level" sports career in China.
Knowing that I am no longer young, I still choose to stick to it! If you hope that everything can become more beautiful, only love can overcome any setbacks! Come on, Dong Guojian!
Spring is a season for fresh start. In the days of struggle, no one can never repel a resolute and resolute hope! Running is hard, but please believe in the beauty of the future!
