The last place in Baotou Marathon was laughed at and dismissed？ Netizens are angry： Where is the spirit of humanity？

　　In a marathon, there are elite runners who rush ahead to compete for medals, and naturally there are junior runners who work hard to finish the race.

　　At the Baotou Marathon held recently, a runner became the focus of discussion — — Volunteers took turns to "dissuade" the runner who finished last, and even filmed Tik Tok "mocking", which caused controversy.

　　The reason given by the volunteers is that the last contestant can’t finish the race, which leads to the delay in unblocking the road. However, some people object: as long as the closing time is not exceeded, the contestants have the right to continue the competition.

　　Indeed, with the rapid development of domestic marathon events, both organizers and volunteers need more contracts and humanistic spirit.

　　Volunteers took turns to "dissuade" the runner who finished last, and even filmed Tik Tok "mocking", which caused controversy. Screen shot

　　"Persuade" the last runner provoked doubts.

　　On the morning of August 18th, 2019, the first international marathon in Baotou started with a shot. According to statistics, a total of 15,000 people signed up for this competition.

　　However, after the game, compared with the ownership of the champion, it was the last contestant who caused more discussion on the Internet.

　　After the race, a medical volunteer posted a video on Tik Tok about the last runner on the track filmed in a bus. The caption of the video is: "The last runner in the first marathon in Baotou will insist on walking back, and the people in the city are waiting for him to unblock the road."

　　In the message of the video, the author said that 10 persuaders advised the last player to get on the bus. "I was so sleepy that I woke up and he was still walking."

　　According to netizens, in the end, the contestant failed to finish the race and chose to quit, but the "ridicule" attitude shown in this video was fermented on the Internet, and the video author subsequently deleted the video.

　　The author of the video himself said in his message that it was not the closing time at that time, so he could not force the players to end the game and could only "persuade them to retreat".

　　This detail has led to criticism from netizens. Some people say that the practice of volunteers lacks respect for the rules, and there is no reason to stop the players from competing before the closing time.

　　Others ridicule,"The last one got on the bus, and the second one should get on the bus? Should I get on the bus from the bottom? Drive the shelter car faster, and the 30 thousand from the bottom will get on the bus."

　　Runners call for respect for the spirit of contract

　　Regarding the controversy of Baotou Marathon, an industry insider told The Paper that it was a separate act of the volunteers, not an "order" from the organizing committee.

　　As for what happened, the event party has not given an official statement so far. The Paper contacted Inner Mongolia Kunbao Sports Club Co., Ltd., the operator of this event, but the other party did not respond to this.

　　Among runners, some people think that the impact of road unblocking will have an impact on urban traffic, but the attitude of more people is that both competitors, contestants and volunteers should have enough contractual spirit:

　　The closing time set by the competition is the "stage" for the contestants. Participants were collectively "dismissed" by the staff without violating the rules, which was unreasonable in terms of emotion and reason, and also reflected the lack of training for the competition staff to some extent.

　　Another runner also told the The Paper reporter that,"When the competition rules were announced, it was written when it was closed. Athletes also had a contract to participate in the competition. If they exceeded the time, they must withdraw from the competition. But if you can persist within the specified time, you can run as long as the doctor doesn’t say you can’t run. "

　　In addition, according to the reporter from The Paper, in some running events, special prizes will be awarded to the last runner to recognize the persistence of the runners.

　　Persistence is also the spirit of running.

　　In fact, there was a similar controversy at the London Marathon held at the end of April this year — — When the slow runners were still playing, the race staff began to remove the track facilities, spray water and clean them, and some even taunted those slow runners.

　　This situation has aroused public anger. The final result was that the organizing committee of London Marathon conducted an investigation and finally admitted the existence of this phenomenon. In addition to apologizing and stating that it would be rectified, 678 runners who finished the race seven hours later were given through places for the 2020 event.

　　Indeed, for the extreme sport of marathon, passing the finish line is already the ideal goal of many people. The reason why people have a good impression on marathon is also due to the persistence spirit contained in this sport.

　　In many running events at home and abroad, there will also be some "care" for the contestants who lack personal ability or are really in poor condition that day — — If the competitor can’t finish the race within the closing time, although there is no official score, he can still get the medal after passing the finish line.

　　On the premise of meeting the competition rules and safety, cheering for those moments of persistent struggle is also the charm of running. (The Paper reporter Pu Yulei)
