A mountain marathon in Gansu suffered from extreme weather. What is the significance of the marathon?
The meaning of marathon is to encourage more people to run. What happened
On May 22nd, 221, I met with extreme weather during the 1-kilometer cross-country marathon in the Yellow River Shilin Scenic Area, Jingtai County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, China. At present, 16 people have been found dead and 5 people have lost contact. They are still in intense search and rescue. During the day's competition, at about 1 noon, at the high altitude stage of the 2 km to 31 km 1 km cross-country race, there were some disastrous weather such as hail, freezing rain and strong wind, which directly affected these contestants. Due to the sudden appearance of extreme weather, many players were unprepared.
the terrain in the 2-31 km altitude stage of the p>1 km cross-country race is complex, so it is difficult for the athletes to save themselves. After receiving this emergency report, the local authorities immediately launched an emergency plan and set up a special rescue team to rescue at the first time. At 3 o'clock on the 23rd, 151 participants were evacuated safely. Among them, five minor injuries have been taken to hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, 16 people were killed and 5 people have not been found. Holding a marathon can make more people take part in the marathon.
Marathon refers to a long-distance race. In the process of holding many marathons, as long as runners can reach the finish line, they will get certain rewards, so that more people can participate in marathons, and some races will be divided into champions and runners-up, which makes many marathoners want to compete for the championship. Holding a marathon can also encourage more people to run
I didn't know about marathons before. Later, the organizer held a marathon in our city, and I also participated. It is said that as long as you can run to the finish line, you can get gifts. But for me, I feel the feeling of marathon, which can promote people's health. Marathon makes people pay more attention to sports
If there were not so many marathon competitions, people might have no idea about marathon athletes, but with more and more marathon competitions, people know that marathon athletes are very powerful, which improves their status and makes people pay more attention to sports.
