The weather in Gansu on the 23rd.

The significance of marathon is to encourage more people to run.

What happened on May 22nd, 20021year, the Yellow River Shilin scenic spot100km cross-country race in Jingtai County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, China suffered from extreme weather. At present, it has been found that 16 people were killed and 5 people lost contact, and they are still in intense search and rescue. During the day's race, at around noon 1, at the high altitude stage of cross-country race from 20km to 3 1km, there were some disastrous weather such as hail, freezing rain and strong wind, which directly affected these contestants.

Due to the sudden appearance of extreme weather, many players are unprepared. 100 km cross-country race is from 20 km to 3 1 km, and the terrain is complex, so it is difficult for athletes to save themselves. After receiving this emergency report, the local authorities immediately launched an emergency plan, set up a special rescue team, and started the rescue at the first time. At 3: 00 on 23rd, 15 1 participants evacuated safely. Among them, five minor injuries have been taken to hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, 16 people died and 5 people have not been found.

Holding a marathon can let more people take part in the marathon, that is, long-distance running. In many marathons, as long as the runners can reach the finish line, they will get certain rewards, so that more people can participate in the marathon, and some races will be divided into the second place, which makes many marathoners want to compete for the championship.

Holding a marathon can also encourage more people to run. I didn't know about the marathon before. Later, the organizer held a marathon in our city, and I also participated. It is said that as long as you can run to the finish line, you can get gifts. But for me, I feel the feeling of marathon, which can promote people's health.

Marathon makes people pay more attention to sports. If there were not so many marathons, people might have no idea about marathoners. However, with more and more marathons, people know that marathoners are very powerful, which improves the status of athletes and makes people pay more attention to sports.
