I think, at this stage of China's hosting level, if the temperature is unpredictable, then all the things, the organizers of the pot is not big, the safety accident, is some small chance of time at the same time resulting in a tragedy.
First of all, the temperature, these aspects of my cross-country race work experience is not colorful, and at the same time do not have the expertise of the climate level, so it is seldom evaluated. My point is that if these temperatures were predictable, then the organizers do have a responsibility to raise safety awareness and even stop the race,
On the other hand, it can only be described as a natural disaster. Below, a few words about the multiple contingencies that I feel led to the tragedy, and here, the vast majority of my grasp of the race comes from the WeChat article that fell in the southern region.
1. temperature. This one doesn't need much elaboration.
2. How the elite runners race. Although cross-country is a competitive sport, elite runners do their best to get excellent results is not wrong, but this is indeed the objectivity of the key cause of the tragedy. One of the reasons that the runners who died in this race were essentially top runners is that a large number of such runners chose to push on rather than abandon the race when they encountered a situation that could have led to hypothermia.
Based on what I've heard, this type of approach, which looks like a fight for your life, is not unique to the elite runners in this race, it's just the way it's always been designed. I also participated in the first cross-country race in 2014, I have witnessed to see an expert woman amateur group runners (marathon 300- level), because in the new road traveling too fast fell hurt, and then because the mountain can not be rescued, only their own cover the hip a little bit of downward withdrawal. Since then, my heart's point of view is that
High-quality runners are likely to be stronger than the average runners in terms of energy and method, but they still have a chance of injury, just for the sake of better reward money, must let go of the fight, so From then on, I also in the cross-country race in the downhill are used in the most traditional slow and laborious method, just to figure out a security. For the average runner, participation in these races is just an adjustment to daily life, but for elite runners, a race is likely to be a month's worth of earnings, and the reward money is a must.
Two elite runners were most concerned about their deaths in the race, one was Liang Jing, China's top cross-country runner, and the other was Huang Guanjun, the Paralympics champion. Liang Jing has been famous, there are some sponsorship contracts, economic development should be okay, especially Huang Guanjun, according to reports seen at this stage,
Attributed to the new star just out of the ordinary, for their kind of players, the reward money is crucial, so it is not easy to casually give up the race, and in this tragedy, until they realized that they can not persevere, it is very likely that it has been too late.
I'm not questioning everything about the elite's approach to the game, everyone's playing the game to them is the work, for all of us, the leading cadres say there is a new project is not very good to do, but you don't finish it also not to send this month's paychecks, we have to think hard to find a way to carry out. Therefore , only to say that this type of method objectively leads to tragedy.
3. runway. In fact, I said that the organizers of the pot is not very critical here, according to the runners "fell into the southern region" of the narrative, the race track has long been sufficiently simple, one hundred kilometers of lift only three thousand meters, not to mention in the national cross-country races to fight lift today, that is, put into the cross-country I ran five or six years ago, this lift is only a medium level 50km race lift. At the same time, the tougher stages were allocated to the first half of the race, with the cp2-cp3 section of 9km elevated by 100m,
so it's fair to say that the other stages are likely to be easier. And for runners, the same a difficult road, put in front and behind, experience is completely different, in front, is likely to rely on the more abundant energy, top of a force on the past, and if put in the end,
it may be "to the death" of the storage. The more well-known have legend story Guangzhou Zhongshan University hundred 90km after the lost slope, rumor has it that every year the race organizer Yu Lei, is going to be through the road runners close enough to ask for a good family.
The organizers counted on goodwill, but bad is bad, the more difficult road to catch up with the worst temperatures, the runners left and right, rescue can not keep up, the tragedy is so happened. Can not say that the lack of supplementation in this section how how, I have participated in the Laohai in terms of the largest CP point Laotian, when the trophies are only pure water, this pure water, or by human resources, a bucket and a bucket on the body to go, very valuable. I was about in that stage is still considered in the upper middle of the examination results,
Water has long been remaining very little, may be slower players are likely to even water will not drink. Therefore Platinum this stage, only punch card check-in point without replenishment, is also able to understand, not to mention that according to all normal, this point of the contestant's energy are more abundant. Back a thousand steps, even if there is loot at that point, the only thing that will be prioritized to be shipped up may be pure water, and for other items such as chocolate and red bean sugar water, it is unlikely that they will be given at a point where the logistics cost is so high.
4. Weaponry. After the game analysis, a lot of people say that the elite player's weaponry is basically a halter top small short pants, is the pot of mandatory weaponry. Here according to the situation I saw, this kind of weaponry, for the top players, basically is the norm, for the check, in fact, the top players, the should have are there, just all the items are the pursuit of the perfect rate and the perfect lightweight, in this kind of temperature, it is only a tragedy.
I have seen some of the top weapons and equipment, all to lightweight as the first priority, all the pursuit of perfect rate. Top runners, it is likely that the water bag more than a mouthful of water will be too much, and the relative sex ratio, when I first ran cross-country, I hate like primary and secondary school to participate in the celebration, the bag is stuffed with a variety of snacks, in order to be prepared. Here, there is still no right and wrong, stipulating that the organizers of the strict management of weaponry in the current stage of the natural environment is also difficult to land type, only to say that into the tragedy led to another key element of it.
The extremes of temperature, in the more difficult road attracted the light and the most reluctant to abandon everyone, is about my own point of view very simple summary. What I'd like to say later is to say otherwise.
Why do you think the organizer pot is not big, earlier already said some, here to talk about some, first of all, can be seen from the WeChat public number, platinum cross-country race, called a more perfect operation of the race, the first few user evaluation is also able to, and the organizer, but also as far as possible to raise the threshold, 20h closed store of one hundred kilometers, that is, lift even lower, but also cross-country, the vast majority of the ticket! The majority of the players are simply afraid to apply for the examination. In other words, the organizers of the qualification has long been as far as possible to consider the lack of experience,
Overall strength is not enough runners, if it is not this kind of polarized situation, firmly believe that this has many years of experience in the work of the operators can adapt to get, but the creation of the people in, the situation is too rare, to see some of the runners compared to the Japan, Hong Kong, China, some of the well-known races,
Perhaps such a situation in the more perfect geographical area of the cross country, the situation in the cross-country races is not as good as it should be.
The situation in the cross-country race is more perfect in the region will get stronger solution, but for the current stage of cross-country race booming China, this organizer, perhaps not counted as particularly outstanding, but I personally feel that, if not for this tragedy, this race is sure to be called up to standard.
Finally, I'd like to say that I haven't run cross-country for a long time, how long? I've only run the rainy Beijing tnf50 in 14 years and the first Laohai hundred in 16 years, 2 races, my shoes are very general "big city cross-country shoes" (that is, the ground is not very good anti-skid cross-country shoes), hiking poles and LED headlamps are all borrowed. The first thing I did was to buy a set of weapons and equipment that were not bad,
They are still sold second-hand (and never finished) at 99% off the price. There are many reasons not to run cross-country, the most important is naturally dish, most people should be recognized cross-country to be more difficult than the marathon, at least I think for me to ensure that the cross-country finish, I feel more comfortable today, the amount of exercise is still not enough. In addition, the cost is also a key element, long-term participation in cross-country races, time, economic development costs are far more than the marathon.
Marathon races are mostly located in big cities with favorable geographic locations, while cross-country races are often held in remote tourist attractions, which necessitates higher transportation costs, and cross-country races are generally held across the day, so going to a non-workplace race must occupy the time on Friday, which is too unfriendly to both time and money for a low-to-middle-income, shiftless person like me. The trail must have a lot of weapons and equipment, and each is worth a lot of money, while the marathon,
My current level can be taken with a full set of weapons and equipment of two or three hundred. In addition to time, cross-country moving is 20 + hours of fighting time is not my very favorite, back to look at the marathon, at this stage I ran the coolest -20, the hottest 35 degrees of the marathon, traditionally, just as long as it is all normal road running race, I have the ability to work in the 430 within the time I experience or more comfortable, cross-country races! It is indeed, too, long.
Finally, I would like to say a long time ago, I said the insight: I political consciousness to resist the kind of "I did not how to prepare in advance to complete the XX marathon or XX cross-country" point of view (for example, this: the first time to participate in the marathon race must pay attention to what?) I'm not sure if it's a good idea to challenge your own luck with your life and get lucky and finish the race, but it's not a good idea to show off, and it's a good idea to scam a lot of newbies on the sidelines who are trying to do the same thing with their adventures.
Whether it is a marathon race, or cross-country, all difficult coefficient of skiing, easy to say, the world's first person to run a marathon race, after running, hanging. Of course, the tragedy of the race has little to do with that, and is more akin to the proverbial "drowning the one who knows how to swim, and beating the one who talks back".
The General Administration of Quality Supervision reported work, all sectors of the race are terminated, basically outside the people look good, running circle a little bit of life and death shouting a sweeping, I think that if the back will be all normal relaxation, that carry out remediation or good it,
Marathon actually okay, but cross-country races, determined to have to improve the standard of operation, the previous overall level is low, only in the platinum, but also in the "stability test", the "stability test". The overall standard is low, just in the platinum, catching up with the extremity of the "stability test", then the back must indeed be based on the top-down changes to improve the ability to solve the work of the very serious situation.
May the tragedy not recur.
