On July 7, a message detonated the running circle - the top four results of the 2020 Nanjing Marathon were cancelled! Subsequently, the reporter logged on to the official website of the IAAF, and by checking the final results of the 2020 Nanjing Marathon (the World Athletics Federation Silver Label Event), it was found that Peng Jianhua, Yang Shaohui, Dobje and Chen Tianyu's results in the 2020 Nanjing Marathon were all dq (the results were cancelled), and the first was Tibet's Solang Cairen, whose result was 2:12:13, and according to the previously announced results in China, Solang Cairen was only fifth.
Why are grades cancelled? To this end, the Yangtze Evening News/ Purple Cow News reporter interviewed a senior coach of the Jiangsu Athletics Team, who regrettably told reporters: It is all the disaster caused by the "segmented rabbit".
"Segmented rabbit" helped, and South Malaysia ran a good result
The 2020 Nanjing Marathon was the only marathon championship in the country last year and the Tokyo Olympics Marathon, attracting a large number of elite runners, including 12 members of the Chinese national marathon team. In the end, the results of the Chinese runners of the 2020 Nanjing Marathon made the running circle a bit, Peng Jianhua, Yang Shaohui, Dobjie and Chen Tianyu all ran into 2:10:00, and Peng Jianhua and Yang Shaohui ran into 2:09:00.
Why was such a good result cancelled by the IAAF? A senior track and field coach told reporters that it was all caused by the "segmented rabbit". "Although the IAAF has not explained the matter, I think it should be the reason."
"Last year's South Malaysia competition used 'segmented rabbits', that is, several rabbits took turns to play, which was not allowed by the IAAF." The veteran coach told reporters that such a lead violates the IAAF road running rules, which clearly states that "the pacemakers arranged by the race organizers are real contenders." They must start the race with all the athletes, must be recorded in the entry list, timed like other international elite athletes, and if they finish the competition, they must be officially ranked. ”
Generally speaking, the rabbits of elite runners need to use what kind of pace to lead, before the race will communicate with the athletes, in the game, the rabbit plays a leading role, breaking the wind, stabilizing the pace. Marathon rabbits set off with the athletes, and after reaching a certain specified distance (about 30 kilometers), they can withdraw from the track - complete the task. If the status is good, you can continue to run. That's why we see some rabbits win the championship.
"There are 3 leading rabbits in South Malaysia, all from the Yunnan team, and they are rotating leaders, and the last rabbit actually leads from 32 kilometers." It is precisely because of this that the four people who have been in the first group will be cancelled. Senior coach said.
Kipchoge also used "segmented rabbit" when breaking 2
The senior coach introduced to reporters that Kipchoge also used a "segmented rabbit" when he completed the 2-break plan in Vienna, Austria in 2019. "Kipchoge used a record 41 rabbits at that time, including the American long-distance running star Cherimo, ethiopian emerging Barga, the European half-horse record holder Vandez, the United States 1500m Olympic champion Centrovitz, japan's 10,000-meter star Murayama Hongtai and other well-known athletes, they took turns to lead and break the wind for Kipchoge, so the results of that race were not recognized by the World Athletics Federation, and it was more an attempt by human beings to challenge their own limits."
"From another point of view, the use of 'segmented rabbits' also reflects the helplessness of the lack of good rabbits in China." The senior coach said that the essence of not having a high-level rabbit is that there is no group of high-level marathon runners in the country.
"In order to help the top domestic athletes to create the best possible results, we can only let the second-rate runners run a short distance, so as to bring the speed up, and the second-rate runners cannot run 30 kilometers at this high speed, and they will inevitably face a drop after running more than ten kilometers, then they can only use wheel wars, and the way of 'segmented rabbits' continues to lead the excellent runners."
Fortunately, Peng Jianhua, Yang Shaohui, Dong Guojian and Su Guoxiong still reached the Olympic standard by relying on the results of other events, and the cancellation of the results of the Nanjing Marathon did not affect their trip to Tokyo to represent China in the Tokyo Olympic Games.
