[First of all, it should be stated that this book is not a sports competition novel, it involves sports events, but only the needs of the storyline.] 】

In the golden autumn of October, the north wind blew down many yellow leaves, and the mist that had been entrenched in the capital for many days also made the cold wind blow scattered and disappeared overnight. As soon as dawn broke, the warm sun rose from the east, sending warmth to everyone who was running around for a living in the red dust.

Since five or six o'clock in the morning, people have been walking or taking various means of transportation to the Imperial Capital Square, as the largest city square in the country and even the world, it has always been one of the first places for the empire and the imperial capital to hold important activities.

At more than seven o'clock, thousands of people have gathered in the Imperial Capital Square, where there are many people, shoulder to shoulder, dozens of large helium balloons floating in the air, streamers hanging from the balloons, and there are blessings sent by many well-known enterprises.

On the road on the east side of the Imperial Capital Plaza, there is a big red arch with a line of words on it - 20XX Imperial Capital International Marathon.

Under the red arch, it was even more crowded, people were next to each other, people were crowded, it was difficult to wrestle here, and the people around him would squeeze him, so that he could not fall to the ground smoothly.

Because of the generous prize money, the Imperial Capital Marathon has attracted the love of people who like marathons all over the world since the first edition, and soon became a large-scale event with great influence in the world, attracting thousands of people from all over the world to participate every year.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Imperial Capital Marathon, and in order to celebrate this event, the Organizing Committee of the Imperial Capital Marathon and the sponsors have agreed to significantly increase this year's championship prize money and record-breaking prize money.

The winner of the full marathon will receive $50,000 and the marathon world record will be worth $100,000. In addition, the organizing committee also has a special reward for Chinese runners, and the first Chinese runner to reach the finish line will receive a special prize of 10,000 US dollars.

Over the years, whether it is the Imperial Capital Marathon or the marathons held in other cities, the top three runners who monopolize it are basically black, and more specifically, they are basically runners from Ethiopia or Kenya.

As a frequent visitor to various international marathon events, this year's Imperial Capital Marathon, which has extraordinarily generous prizes, will naturally not lack the figure of these dark-skinned marathon runners, under the red arch, almost all of them standing in the first row are black.

People familiar with the marathon pointed to them, excitedly shouting their names and recounting their past achievements.

In the procession of thirty or forty thousand people, there was an inconspicuous young face, his face was still childish, his hair was short, he was dressed in white shorts and shorts, and a yellow number plate hung on the front and back of his chest.

Qin Zhengyang almost stood at the back of the team, and unlike the elated players around him, there was a faint melancholy between his eyebrows, and there was a flash of sadness in his eyes from time to time.

At half past seven, the ceremony of this marathon officially began, first by the main person in charge of the relevant departments of the imperial city, the representative of the sponsor and the person in charge of the organizing committee after a few simple words, there was a special person to fire the starting gun.

With the crisp sound of gunfire, the green smoke rising from the clouds, and under the red arch, several black players who were already ready to attack had rushed out, and for a while, as if the floodgates were being opened, tens of thousands of people rushed to pass from under the red arches in turn. The audience watching from the outside of the Iron Horse cheered and cheered.

Qin Zhengyang followed the crowd and followed the team out of the red arch, he looked at the newly bought cheap electronic watch on his wrist specially used for timekeeping, and recalled the record of the Imperial Capital International Marathon announced by the marathon organizing committee - two hours, seven minutes and sixteen seconds, which was set by a famous black runner from Ethiopia a few years ago.

Qin Zhengyang estimated and slowly quickened the pace under his feet. His frequency is not very fast, and his pace does not seem to be very large, but every minute and every second passes, many long-distance runners who participate in marathons are left behind him.

More than half of the runners who participate in the Beijing Marathon every year are not professional runners, they are all long-distance runners, and they spend money to participate not to compete for prize money, but purely out of hobby, adhering to the spirit of participation. The organizing committee also knew that it was impossible for them to achieve good results, so they were arranged in the back when each event was held.

There are old and young among them, but it is extremely rare to be as young as Qin Zhengyang. Some of these long-distance runners are more kind-tempered, and seeing that Qin Zhengyang is constantly surpassing them, he kindly reminded Qin Zhengyang to do what he can, don't be impatient, otherwise, he may not even be able to complete the half marathon.

Whenever this happens, Qin Zhengyang would nod his head to show his gratitude, but the pace under his feet did not mean to slow down in the slightest.

The TV announcers and the staff of the organizing committee were now focused on the black players who were the most promising to win the championship, and no one noticed that behind them, an inconspicuous young man was steadily chasing after them.

Half an hour after the gun was fired, Qin Zhengyang was already in the middle of the entire team, and after another ten minutes, he had already rushed into the team of the top 1,000 players.

can run to the top 1,000 positions, even if he is not a professional runner, he is also a well-known person in the marathon circle, Qin Zhengyang suddenly rushed in, and immediately caused a small commotion. However, a short-lived person like him is not uncommon in the annual marathon, and he still hasn't been able to attract too many people's attention.

Qin Zhengyang was still breathing steadily at this time, he didn't even have a little sweat on his body, his stride was relaxed and steady, and he still maintained a rhythm of more than a few people every minute. He was deliberately controlling his speed, he was aiming for the prize money of the competition, but it was not to make too much of a show, if it wasn't for something at home, he wouldn't want to show his head in such a public appearance. Doing his own thing silently is his original intention.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Zhengyang had already completed half of the more than forty-two kilometers of race, he looked at his watch, the time had only passed a little more than an hour, if he wanted to win the crown according to the rhythm of his running just now, it would still be a bit of a problem, let alone break the record. He took a deep breath and increased the pace slightly faster, and his acceleration immediately caught the attention of some professionals.

Outside the guardrail formed by iron horses, many viewers began to point at him, and some reporters pointed their cameras at him for the first time.

The marathon was broadcast live to the world by Imperial Television, for which Imperial Television arranged a number of cameras on the spot, each camera has a lens, and the signal is transmitted to the studio of Imperial Television through the guò broadcast vehicle. Of course, the final decision on the final picture presented in the eyes of the audience is still in the hands of the director and the host of the studio.

Whether a news report can catch the audience's attention, the most important thing is whether there is enough explosive point, the news of the previous marathon competition is on who can win the championship, and the champion is also exchanged between black runners in turn, in addition, there is really no special news point to dig up, but this time, Qin Zhengyang, a young enough face, seems to be a black fish, to everyone's expectations, he plunged into this circle that has been ancient for many years.

The host, like the cameraman at the competition site, keenly captured this, and the host immediately asked the director to switch the camera to Qin Zhengyang without hesitation.

In the studio hall, in addition to the host, there are two invited guests, one is Jiang Yong, the director of the imperial capital track and field team, and the other is Yan Jieping, an athlete of the now retired former national track and field team.

After Qin Zhengyang's image appeared on the broadcast screen, the host Gong Jingming pointed at Qin Zhengyang excitedly and said: "Audience friends, an hour has passed since the gun was fired, and the leading runners in the event have finished or are about to finish the half marathon, according to the rough statistics of our on-site reporters, the top ten players are basically black runners, and more than half of the top 100 runners are black or white runners, We rarely see the faces of the yellow race, especially our countrymen. But now I'm going to introduce you to one, and that's him. ”

When Gong Jingming spoke, the two guests also noticed Qin Zhengyang on the TV screen, both of them were professionals, and they may have been a little incomprehensible at first, but soon, they both widened their eyes and looked at Qin Zhengyang with a relaxed pace with some disbelief.

"Two teachers, what do you think of this player?" Gong Jingming asked.

Yan Jieping shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, I can't understand it." ”

"Can't read? How can you not understand it? Gong Jingming asked puzzled.

Yan Jieping said: "I am also a professional, in addition, because of my personal reasons, I am also very concerned about the relevant situation at home and abroad, throughout the past marathons, when the marathon runners run the half marathon, they are actually very tired, and the physical consumption is very great." By this time, it was already perseverance and endurance that came into play. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the appearance, first of all, I breathe heavily, sweat all over, and my body will also be in a state of exhaustion, but you look at this player, the breathing is very even, the rise and fall of the chest cavity is very small, and there is almost no sweat on the body, that is, there is a slight forehead, which is too abnormal. ”
