Recently, Mr. Cao, a Chinese running enthusiast, took his 9-year-old son to challenge the Zhengkai Marathon held in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, and he completed the entire marathon. After that, Mr. Cao was reported by netizens for breaking the rules after an investigation by the marathon organizing committee, it was confirmed that he broke the relevant rules and was banned for two years.
According to the mainland media “Upstream News”, Mr. Cao is a sports media personality The father and son are famous for running in Pingdingshan where they live On March 31, he gave had his son sign up for the Zhengkai Marathon, Tao’s parent-child fun race, but he ended up running the entire marathon. It took his son more than five hours to complete the race, but he “fell” due to an uneven distribution of physical strength.
Mr. Cao revealed that his starting point was just to bring his son to experience the feeling of the marathon because his small children could not register for the marathon, he signed up for the parent-child route. But when they arrived at the starting point, they found that the place was full of official half-marathon and full-marathon runners. The father and son were stuck in the crowd and could not return to the starting point of the parent-child fun run, so they started right with the crowd of participants.
Mr. Cao said that they didn’t expect to finish the race at the beginning, and they didn’t expect to be ranked halfway, his son felt that he “I can still run”, so I gave had my son challenge the whole distance.
Mr. Cao said that his son ran 3 kilometers a day for three years from the age of 6 to 9, and his physical strength was very good. At the beginning of the race, I could still take care of my son, but after 30 kilometers, I was “gone” first. Instead, my son ran further and further away, and finally reached he crossed the finish line 30 minutes earlier than him. Thanks to the volunteers who helped guide him, and then he quickly brought his son back.
Regarding the two-year penalty, Mr. Cao admitted that he was willing to accept it. But he also suggested: “On such a wide road, high-level athletes have finished running. We don’t want rankings or medals. Can we run it? After all, young people can to take part in rock climbing, skiingโโโโโโโโโโand other sports as long as there is a guardian with them.”
The marathon event organization told the media: “According to the rules of the Chinese Athletics Association, minors are not allowed to participate in the marathon. 16 years old to participate in the half marathon and 10 kilometers.”
Sports medicine expert Lin Sheng also said that older children are not suitable to run a marathon because the marathon is an extreme sport that requires high cardiopulmonary function and requires long-term exercise before participating. Young people’s bodies are still developing, and running a marathon puts too much stress on their bodies, which can cause a number of developmental problems.
Regarding Mr. Cao’s inability to cross his 9-year-old son, Lin Sheng analyzed that it could be related to the minor’s lack of inhibitory function. Adults have obvious discomfort reactions after physical fatigue, but feedback from young people is relatively slow, which also leads to a situation where children do not know that they are tired when running
However, Lin Sheng emphasized that โnot knowing being tired does not mean that the body is not tired. โTherefore, he strongly does not recommend that small children run the marathon. If you really like running, you can run a few kilometers of healthy running. Wait until your body is more or less mature at the age of 16 to 18, and then gradually engage in long distance running.
