We thought of saying goodbye to the marathon season in 2020 in many ways, but we didn’t expect that we would finally say goodbye to this special year with the unprecedented “sudden cancellation” of Xiamen marathon

.

The domestic marathon is like a domino

.

With the fall of Xiamen marathon, the first domino, the future of the marathon has become uncertain

.

Recently, the competition and Sports Department of the General Administration of sports issued the “notice on further adjusting the work plan of national competitive sports single event and professional competition

.

The notice clearly pointed out: “the work plan requires scientific assessment and strict control on the necessity, urgency and safety of the semi-finals, giving priority to the resumption of national championships, Championships and professional competitions of Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games and Shaanxi 2021 National Games, and suspending the semi-finals of other competitions; marathon and other events will not be reviewed temporarily It’s a member intensive event

.

The programme of work is valid until 31 March 2021

.

” After the announcement, the words “no review of Marathon and other personnel intensive events” basically mean that the marathon this spring will leave us again

.

March is the highlight of the domestic marathon, heavy horse, Xima, Yangzhou half horse and other events are popular events

.

However, according to the principle of “not to be held unless it is necessary” in the notice, even Xiamen horse, which is on the verge of success, can not escape the fate of a sudden meltdown

.

Therefore, it is very difficult for heavy horse, Xima and Yangzhou semi horse to become absolutely necessary competitions before April

.

Of course, there is more than one marathon that has been suspended

.

Last year, all six grand slams announced that they would postpone the second half of 2021

.

Some of them are to avoid the possibility of holding the Tokyo Olympic Games in the summer, while some are completely due to the uncontrollable epidemic situation in the mainland

.

Naturally, in the first half of the year, they did not want to hold any more games

.

However, judging from the results, the six grand slams are quite prescient

.

After the notice is issued, it is certain that the marathon that has not completed the approval will not be able to run, but what will happen to the marathon that has completed the approval or even started to enter the competition process? For example, the Zhengkai marathon, which has been postponed for one year, is the largest all marathon event in Henan Province

.

The Organizing Committee announced in December last year that after the race was restarted on March 28, 2021, the 2021 Zhengkai marathon also entered the registration process

.

Yesterday was the day when the winning list was announced

.

At present, this brake also makes Zheng Kai’s marathon as scheduled draw a big question mark

.

In addition, the Taizhou marathon in Jiangsu Province is also in the process of registration

.

We have just landed on the official website of the event

.

At present, the registration channel can still complete the registration

.

The Yongchuan marathon, which is under the jurisdiction of Chongqing, has opened the registration channel under pressure

.

The competition was scheduled for March 13, with a total of 5000 entries (including full marathon, half marathon and mini marathon)

.

The event will be held as a half horse race in the sixth Chongqing games, and only for Chongqing registered residence and permanent Chongqing runners who are more than half a year

.

In the current storm, the operation of Yongchuan banma is a bit confusing

.

As we all know, holding a marathon involves all kinds of resources, among which the guidance of policy direction is undoubtedly decisive

.

Whether a race is stopped or not is also beyond the control of a few people or units

.

For the domestic Marathon Organizing Committee, it must be the one who bears great pressure

.

In the current environment, how to control the risk of postponement or even cancellation due to emergencies may become a new topic for the industry in the future

.

The last hope of marathon in this spring may be Xuzhou marathon

.

Although the notice clearly pointed out that “marathon and other personnel intensive events will not be reviewed temporarily”

.

However, “giving priority to the restoration of the National Championships set up by the Tokyo Olympic Games” has given Xu Ma a chance of life

.

Xu Ma, originally scheduled to be held on March 21, has a very important mission, that is, as an Olympic trial, to decide the list of Chinese marathon runners who will finally attend the Tokyo Olympic Games

.

Therefore, as an Olympic related event, there is still room for discussion

.

If the competition is as usual, it is likely to be the only marathon this spring

.

However, even if Xu Ma can be held as scheduled, it will be very difficult for the public athletes to have the opportunity to participate

.

The competition rate will refer to last year’s Tokyo Marathon and London Marathon, and only retain the qualification of elite athletes, so as to ensure that the athletes who impact the Olympic Games can play well

.

Moreover, at the end of September last year, Doron had a similar form of competition

.

After the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation in China last year, the second round of cross-country race is earlier than the marathon

.

The cross-country race, which is located in a remote place, with a small number of participants, a long race schedule and not easy for crowds to gather, has become a new choice for many runners

.

So, is cross-country running within the scope of this suspension? At present, the 2021 Spartan warriors competition has been registered on January 9, and the first competition in Shenzhen will be held from March 27 to 28

.

In addition, the 2021 Gaoligong super trail race, which is scheduled to be held from March 25 to 28, has already started the registration channel

.

Compared with the marathon, cross-country running is in an embarrassing situation whether it can run or not

.

Cross country runners are more complicated and cumbersome than marathons in terms of race preparation, and the current notice undoubtedly puts them in a dilemma

.

The runners may have a heavy heart now, but I believe the Japanese government should have a heavier heart

.

The Tokyo Olympic Games, which is prepared by the whole nation, has been postponed for one year, but whether it can be successfully held in 2021 is still unknown

.

The epidemic situation in Tokyo has been increasing recently

.

Japanese Prime Minister Kan Yiwei has recently declared a state of emergency in Tokyo and its surrounding areas

.

However, there is only half a year left before the Olympic Games scheduled for July 23

.

It is obvious that the officials of the International Olympic Committee are not fully sure that the Tokyo Olympic Games, which has been postponed for one year, can be held as scheduled

.

The pictures come from the Internet

.

On the other hand, every day the Tokyo Olympic Games are postponed, the real money of the Japanese government is flowing out

.

Before the competition started, the Tokyo Olympics had become the most expensive one in history

.

So far, the Japanese government has lost at least 25 billion US dollars

.

No wonder 63% of the people agree to postpone or cancel the Tokyo Olympic Games again

.

In a word, the Tokyo Olympic Games did not advance smoothly as expected, and the constant rumors also made the Tokyo Olympic Games volatile

.

If the Olympic Games are not guaranteed, it will be a great test for those domestic athletes who are determined to attack the Olympic Games

.

If you can’t catch up with this competition in your limited career, the preparation will have influence and adjustment

.

After all, the next Olympic cycle is too long, and even the whole career will be greatly changed

.

In the final analysis, the havoc of covid-19 is the real culprit that led to the suspension of global events, and the universal immunization system in Europe is not very feasible

.

The only turning point we can expect is the vaccine against this virus

.

Although researchers around the world are busy experimenting and many countries have begun to arrange vaccination for key personnel, it is still some time before large-scale popularization

.

The picture is from the Internet

.

According to the current research progress, Japan expects to complete the evaluation and data monitoring of the first batch of vaccines at least in May

.

This time point is also relatively close to the inflection point of the global epidemic predicted by Dr

.

Zhang Wenhong

.

Dr

.

Zhang Wenhong previously believed that after the first batch of vaccination, the world will usher in the turning point of the epidemic in June and July.
