On November 18, 2018, the Shanghai International Marathon kicked off. According to the latest regulations for this year’s marathon, a special ranking award for Chinese runners will be awarded. The domestic champion will receive a bonus of 45,000 yuan. The competition is extremely fierce. Without He Yinli participating, the real showdown is between Li Zhixuan and Zheng Zhiling. As the defending champion, Zheng Zhiling will win three consecutive championships or be surpassed by Li Zhixuan. In the end, Inner Mongolia athlete Li Zhixuan crossed the finish line with a personal best time of 2 hours, 30 minutes and 20 seconds, winning the domestic women's championship, setting a new record for domestic women's races, and also equaling the best result in the country this season (tied with Li Dan).
Interestingly, during the marathon, Li Zhixuan beat the male runner accompanying her. This runner was a doctor. After crossing the finish line at the end, he fell down for a long time and his eyes turned black. But the good news is that although he was beaten, he still finished PB.
With her excellent results and stable performance, Li Zhixuan has become one of the best female marathon runners in China. Li Zhixuan's goal is to break 2 hours and 30 minutes. With both hard work and talent, Li Zhixuan is fully capable of breaking 2 hours and 30 minutes, but her goal is far more than that. Twelve years ago, the Chinese women’s marathon once broke through the 2 hours and 20 minutes mark, competing for a place in the world’s first echelon. However, the results have declined significantly in recent years, and the Chinese women's marathon also lags behind Bahrain and Japan. I believe that Li Zhixuan will be the future leader of China's marathon and the most promising "star of hope" to challenge African athletes.
Li Zhixuan said that the runner she admires the most is Kipchoge. Li Zhixuan said: "My wish is that one day I can be like Kipchoge and become a marathon runner that people will remember forever."
Li Zhixuan, look up to this girl who loves running, come on!
