Since this year, foreign marathons have basically returned to normal. Judging from the list of world track and field sign events, most events are held as usual, and no one is included in the plan except for domestic events.
After the Spring Festival, there was a wave of events in China, including elite platinum Xiama . The competent department immediately came forward and based on all considerations, the competition was completely suspended. Not only did the competitions in April disappear, but no one dared to start the subsequent events.
plus the domestic epidemic situation, it can basically be said that this was explained in the first half of this year.
In the first two years, domestic horses could not be handled, and foreign horses could not be handled either. Everyone feels at ease. We have settled the gap between the epidemic in China and handled a lot. The epidemic situation abroad is so messy that it cannot be handled. We feel so happy. At present, the situation has come back and can be done abroad. Seeing runners around the world running on the track, we can only be envious for the time being.
core lies in the different concepts of epidemic prevention and control in China and abroad.
Like the Boston Horse, a Grand Slam that had just been held, I saw a Chinese runner's track record after the race, and mentioned that he received the new crown test sample submitted before the race after the race - positive! It seems that he himself doesn't take it seriously at all, and the Americans don't take it seriously.
2018 Poma champion and Japanese Kawauchi Yuki also reported positive news after the game.
In mid-April, during a running event of about 3,000 people in Hsinchu County, Taiwan Province, participants were diagnosed with new crown . Although they participated in 5K and wore masks throughout the process, for safety reasons, the health department conducted nucleic acid screening for all participants.
We all know that domestic marathons cannot bear this situation.
If this happens in China,
Many runners talk about it is that there has never been a positive case in marathons or running activities before. Based on this, they also believe that it is safe to hold marathons and running activities.
Judging from the current domestic epidemic prevention and control situation, due to the virus mutation, many areas are facing the greatest pressure since the outbreak. Often, a positive case makes a city's epidemic prevention instantly nervous.
In other words, if a case is positive, if it is not handled properly, the cost is very serious. In order to dynamically clear zero and submit intervention, all members will have nucleic acids, and there will be multiple rounds. This cost won't be a small number. In the context of
, marathons can only stand aside.
From past events, marathons are considered safe; from the perspective of the organizer, what I am afraid of is in case. No problem, everyone is fine. Once there is a problem, many people will be held accountable.
This has nothing to do with the organizer's support for the marathon and his responsibility. You can't let others risk being removed from their official hats, and support you in a marathon.
Judging from the start of some marathons abroad, it is no different from before the epidemic. The audience next to the track did not even wear masks. Domestic epidemic prevention and control have its own characteristics. The first half of this year passed quickly. Let’s take a look at the epidemic and changes in epidemic prevention and control first, and whether there is an environment for hosting competitions.
Because no one can guarantee that a large marathon is absolutely safe, once a domestic event finds a positive case, the range and number of people in nucleic acid testing for may be unprecedented. No one dared to take such a "responsibility", which led to the marathon being shut down and waiting for the opportunity.
can only wait for opportunities indefinitely
How long has it been since you ran the race? There are many runners who have never participated in the competition since the epidemic came. My last horse was a year ago.
Well, it was Xiama on April 10 last year. Last April was the last active period of the marathon so far, and some competitions seized this window period, although the weather was a little hot.
After that, I also ran the Ezhou Station of the Yangtze River Superma in early May, which was a half-marathon; in mid-May I experienced Danxia 100 Off-Road 30K. A week later, the tragedy of 522 came and everything stopped.
It will be a year soon. The marathon ecology is continuing to deteriorate. The epidemic is the root cause. Some of the impacts derived from it have caused the marathon to be tried and done during this period to become nothing.
Sadly, everyone still had hope before, for example, if the competition could not be held at the end of last year, then wait for the Winter Olympics to end. At present, the competition cannot be handled. As for when it can be handled, I am afraid no one is sure. From the perspective of the overall environment, it will be the end of the year.
It is gratifying that foreign marathons are gradually becoming normalized and are a reference and exemplary role for domestic events. Of course, this requires a process. I believe that over time, the understanding of the virus and the measures for epidemic prevention and control will change.
This stage can be regarded as "darkness before dawn". The silence of the marathon frustrated runners, but it is also an inevitable result under the epidemic. After all, our lives will move towards normalization step by step, and the marathon is waiting for this opportunity.
marathon will inevitably return, and now we cannot clearly know when it will be. I've been waiting for so long, so I'll be a little more patient. I just look forward to having another horse running before the end of the year.
