A cold snap hits the peoplelifeIt has caused a lot of inconvenience. And last weekend'sHangzhou MarathonUnfortunately, I also encountered this cold snap. Due to the cold weather, the organizers of the competition took care of the participants' bodiesHealth, delaying the start of the race by an hour, from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Nonetheless, the maximum temperature at that time was only -1, thisFeel the temperatureIt is extremely uncomfortable for the contestants. For the average runner, it is enough to wear extra clothing to keep warm. But for professional players who aim for prize money, they must not wear too much so as not to affect their performance. They may only wear sleeve guards or a slim oneQuick-drying clothesSuch an outfit can still feel cold in cold weather. In order to maintain physical fitness, their bodies have to expend more energy to maintain their body temperature, just as we find that the batteries of watches and phones drain faster in cold outdoor environments.
This timeHangzhou MarathonThe ownership of the championship is also eye-catching. Typically, domesticMarathonThe competition is basically dominated by black players, and they are known for their excellenceRunningTalent and training level often make it easy to win the men's and women's championships. However, this timeHangzhou MarathonBut it completely subverts this norm, men and women all the wayMarathonwithHalf marathonAll the championships were won by Chinese players. Men's full courseMarathonWang Hongwei won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 15 minutes and 3 seconds, while the runner-up Li Guoxiong was only 4 seconds slower, and the third place was a black runner. And menHalf marathonThe top three are also Chinese players. In the women's full courseMarathonXia Yuyu won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 30 minutes and 44 seconds, a full 1 minute faster than the black runner in second place. WomenHalf marathonThe top three places were also taken by Chinese players. In this match, the black players were completely wiped out, which not only showed that the weather in Hangzhou was too cold that day, but also implied that the black players were relatively resistant to heat, but relatively weak to the cold environment. China, of courseMarathonThe improvement of the level is also an important factor, such as Yang Shaohui recently breaking the domestic record again in Japan.
*OverHangzhou MarathonEveryone who livestreamed the live broadcast will find that there are not many people wearing short sleeves among the live contestants, and everyone is fully prepared to withstand the cold. Actually, winterRunningThe danger is relatively high, especially when moving directly from a relatively warm indoor environment to the outside, and the huge temperature difference will bring a great load to the body. Therefore, inRunningPrepare well for a warm-up and gradually improveRunningrhythm to prevent damage to the body. In addition, due to a lot of deep breathing, the body will inhale a lot of cold air, and it will be uncomfortable to be exposed to cold for a long time, so we should always take care to protect ourselves.
In the cold winter, Hangzhou heldMarathonThe competition was undoubtedly a serious challenge. Due to the invasion of cold air, the temperature of the day dropped to below zero at one point, which brought great discomfort to the contestants. However, despite the frustration and cold, the Chinese players persevered and achieved impressive results.
This timeMarathonIn the competition, the black players suffered the dilemma of total annihilation. Normally, black players are inMarathonVirtually invincible in the races, they have become a source of rally power in many races with their excellent physical fitness and excellent stamina. However, this timeHangzhou MarathonBut it broke the mold. The cold weather made it difficult for the black players, who were more vulnerable to physical resistance and cold tolerance than the Chinese players. As a result, they had a big challenge in the game, which eventually led to a total annihilation.
This result also sparked thinking among the organizers and professional coaches of the tournament. What exactly caused the loss of the black players?On the one hand, the climate of the Nordic continent is relatively cold, and black athletes have relatively few opportunities to train and adapt in such an environment. On the other hand, China's climate and natural environment are more diverse than those of East African countriesRunningIt is relatively easier for the players to adapt to various conditions. Moreover, in recent years, ChinaMarathonWith the rapid development of domestic players, the strength of domestic players has gradually become stronger, and through more professional training and scientific management, they can still maintain excellent form in such a difficult environment, which has caused a lot of pressure on black players.
However, while the defeat of the black players has given people a certain shock, we can't dismiss them completely. Black players are inMarathonThey still maintain a relative advantage on the field, and their excellent technique and super endurance are still unmatched. This timeHangzhou MarathonJust a special case doesn't completely change the presence of black playersMarathonDominance in the game.
