Liang Jing, the top domestic cross-country runner, was killed in the Gansu cross-country race. Why are the victims almost all experts?

The victims who died this time were basically all masters for the following two reasons:

First, marathon masters pursue lightweighting, so they usually do not bring warm clothing such as jackets. The weather is fine. Unfortunately, I didn’t win the bet this time.

Second, the masters advance further, are higher, are colder, are more difficult to evacuate, and are more difficult to be searched and rescued. Very few people wear jackets during super long-distance cross-country running. Basically, they are shorts, short sleeves, and a small bag. However, one of the mandatory equipment for the event must be a thermal blanket. It's a very thin aluminum foil blanket. This time, the extreme weather was so bad that everything was blown away.
