Did African Runners Let Chinese Opponent Win the Beijing Marathon? see video and decide.

April 18, 2024 by AFRIPOL Leave a Comment

Chinese sports officials “are investigating a half-marathon in Beijing after videos online have led to overwhelming speculation that three African runners appeared to slow down in order to allow China’s top long-distance runner, He Jie, to finish ahead of them.  He, who won the Asian Games men’s marathon last year and holds the Chinese national record in the event after finishing the Wuxi Marathon with a time of 2 hours, 6 minutes and 47 seconds, came in first place at the Mengniu Beijing Half Marathon on Sunday.”
