In fact, Chinese people used to pay little attention to this event.

Although it is quite famous, Chinese people used to feel that this competition has nothing to do with their own money. The viewing and popularity of marathons were not high, and Chinese athletes have never won a name on this field. What do you think you care about it?

But this time it was different. Qiao Zhiguo was born and attracted countless Chinese people. Qiao Zhiguo has gained a reputation in China during this period. Coupled with the value of this game, Chinese people are looking forward to it, hoping that Qiao Zhiguo can win glory for the country, and patriotism has always been popular in China.

"Teacher Qiao, these are some of the contestants I have collected."

In the hotel, Liang Chao turned on his computer.

The computer is full of the contestants’ information collected by Liang Chao. This London Marathon can be described in four words: the Battle of the Gods.

"Invincible Myth" Kijog, "Half Horse Legend" Mosie Jere, "Ethiopian Risen" Mio Resenson...

They are all legendary figures, and their results are very good. The Olympic champion, World Championship champion, world record holder, platinum event record holder, etc. are also better than the other.

After reading the information, Qiao Zhiguo couldn't help but sigh that all black contestants have different nationalities, but their skin colors are the same.

The top marathon arena has become a performance venue for black athletes. This is also the reason why marathons and even long-distance running competitions are becoming less and less popular.

What else can I watch? There is nothing to watch. Why are black athletes winning? Look at the awards for the Olympics and marathons, and put them directly at the closing ceremony.

There are not many people following. In China, when it comes to basketball, football, table tennis, swimming, and diving, everyone can tell the names or stories of the champion athletes.

But when it comes to marathons, ask yourself, how many people know who the marathon champion is?

In recent years, the mid- and long-distance running events on track and field have been basically performed by black athletes. There are no surprises, no surprises, and no miracles.

In addition, the competition is boring and lacks viewing. In China, except for some long-distance running enthusiasts, almost few people will watch long-distance running competitions, even for events like the World Championships and the Olympics.

"Okay, let's rest. Hurry up and overturn the jet lag."

Qiao Zhiguo smiled and said, "When you come to London, you must reverse the jet lag so that you can maintain your best condition."

As for the competition, although there were many experts, Qiao Zhiguo didn't care at all. At this moment, he was thinking about how to make the competition more exciting.

The more dramatic the competition is, the better it is.

Shortly after Qiao Zhiguo arrived at the hotel, a CCTV photography team also settled in the hotel.

"Legendary", an exclusive interview program from CCTV One.

In terms of ratings, the ratings of this program are not very high. But this program is a program that countless celebrity artists want to participate in.

This show is high-quality, and it is difficult for ordinary entertainment stars to participate. This show only conducts exclusive interviews with legendary figures, such as political stars, business oligarchs, world champions, etc.

It is difficult for ordinary celebrities to participate. For example, if you are a director, you may not be qualified to be the best director in Cannes.

Simply put, this show doesn’t care much about the entertainment industry. In their eyes, the entertainment industry is too low.

This time the photography team came here to shoot the subject matter. As for whether it can be used in the end, it depends on Qiao Zhiguo's achievements.

If Qiao Zhiguo meets the standards, the subject matter can be used. If the grades are not good, these materials will be temporarily sealed.

The next morning, after Qiao Zhiguo got up, the camera crew of "Legendary" began to follow.

Under the camera, Qiao Zhiguo naturally couldn't be like he was in Tokyo. The competition would be in two days, so I would like to talk about it after the competition was over.

The London Marathon was founded in 1981 and is different from the other five platinum events. This event is a charity event, and two-thirds of runners get quotas through charitable donations.

In the latest updated marathon influence ranking, the London Marathon won the first place again.

For marathon athletes, the championship content of this competition is higher than that of the World Championships and Olympics.

It is precisely because of this that there are many experts here. Domestic media dare not praise Qiao Zhiguo too much. After all, there are too many surprises in marathons, and Qiao Zhiguo is too old.

Although East Malaysia has good results, everyone is not optimistic about Qiao Zhiguo winning the championship. Unless those top black players have accidents.

In particular, the undefeated myth Kijog, who was praised by the IAAF as the greatest long-distance runner, has won the London Marathon three times. In a marathon not long ago, he even ran a time of two hours, one minute and thirty-seven seconds.

Compared with Keechoge's best score, Qiao Zhiguo's score is more than three points lower. This time span is too many different rankings in the marathon.

In terms of historical achievements, Qiao Zhiguo has no advantages. In terms of competition experience, Qiao Zhiguo has no advantages. Not to mention age, an old Chinese man who is about to be 61 years old is compared with a group of young and strong black players. In the eyes of many people, his spirit is commendable.

Qiao Zhiguo, who came to London, was very low-key. Except for going out to watch the track once, he basically stayed at the room and the gym at the other time.

In fact, Qiao Zhiguo doesn't want to do this, but CCTV's team follows him and he has to pretend to behave.

But this is also good. The camera records Qiao Zhiguo's daily life. Go to bed early and get up early. In addition to running and fitness, Qiao Zhiguo also has a lot of things to do every day.

Playing games, writing planning, practicing piano, playing guitar, and even drawing comics. This versatility makes everyone on the CCTV team admire it.

On April 23rd, on this day, marathon enthusiasts around the world focused on London.

In China, many people watched the live broadcast of marathons for the first time. CCTV Sports has also launched a special live program, and the focus is naturally on Qiao Zhiguo.

China is seven hours faster than the UK, and the live broadcast starts at 1:00 pm Chinese time.

In London, early in the morning, the whole city became lively, and both sides of the track were filled with marathon enthusiasts.

The weather today is not good. Although it is not windy or rainy, it is particularly hot today.

Qiao Zhiguo still wore zg's clothing. However, the style was different from the Tokyo Marathon. This time, Chen Qian's design was integrated into Chinese style and looked more beautiful and fashionable.
