Apparently the other runners let the dude win in his home country. Which one was it, Sherbros? Bribery or threats of violence?

Looks pretty sus to me. Those dudes were definitely holding back.

 

[Natural Order]

Just a literal microcosm for the fraudulence of China in general.


Fitting, really.

The Chinese was completely gassed and the Ethiopians and Kenyans looked like they finished a light workout. Draw your own conclusions.

Looks like the influx of Chines attention and corporations into Africa is playing out splendidly.

China going to China. I don’t think anyone is fooled.

I'm sure the 3 tied for second place made a nice chunk of change for "losing".

They probably didn't get shit. They were probably offered a deal by the politicians back in Africa, lose or die.

I'm leaning bribery - I think that will be confirmed if those athletes bother returning to China knowing they're not allowed to win.

I wonder who's the better cheater, China or Russia

They probably received 4 bags of rice and a goat each

Who cares, marathons are gay as fuck.

Imagine training to run away.

China... Not even close

 

[NoSmilez]

just look up the story. The black dudes were hired as pacemakers. They weren’t there to compete. They were hired to help the Chinese guy break his record. Pretty much the Chinese guy underperformed and couldn’t break his personal record.

That might be the case but there is nothing to suggest that in the article above.

If I missed something feel free to point it out.

Beijing half marathon: Organisers investigating controversial finish

Organisers of the Beijing half marathon will investigate allegations that three African athletes deliberately allowed China's star runner He Jie to win Sunday's race.

From what I gathered. This event is a sponsored by sports clothing company. Pretty much this race was for the Chinese dude to break some Chinese record and he couldn't do it.


Here is the definition of a pacemaker for Marathon. Apparently it is widely used.

- Those chinese raws. Maybe they did sell the good ones to another contry!

I hope the big one in South America!
