Beijing Race Under Scrutiny As Video Suggests Runners Helped Chinese Winner: Organizers are investigating the results of the Beijing Half Marathon ...
nytimes.com/2024/04/16/sports/beijing-half-marathon-controversy-he-jie.html
Quick Glance: Investigation Launched After Beijing Half Marathon Finish
- Following the finish of the Beijing Half Marathon, the results are now under scrutiny due to the peculiar behavior displayed by three runners from Kenya and Ethiopia.
- A Chinese runner overtook the others, as seen in a recorded livestream of the Beijing Half Marathon. The remaining three runners - Willy Mnangat and Robert Keter from Kenya, and Dejene Hailu from Ethiopia - followed closely behind, with He claiming the first place.
- The organizers of the half-marathon are currently examining the results after a video of the finish circulated online, prompting many to question the intention of the three African runners to slow down.
- The winner secured the first place with a time of 1 hour 3 minutes 44 seconds. Mnangat, Keter, and Hailu shared the second place, one second later.

Quick Glance: China Cancels He Jie's Win in Half Marathon After Investigation
- The winner of the half marathon in Beijing, He Jie, along with Ethiopians Dejene Hailu Bikila and Kenyans Robert Keter and Willy Mnangat had their results canceled after an investigation. The three African runners slowed down in the last 2 kilometers to allow the Chinese athlete to win. All trophies, medals, and bonuses will be withdrawn, and the athletes will be reported to the Chinese Athletics Association.
- The race organizer, Zhongao Lupao Beijing Sports Management company, will also be disqualified from hosting the Beijing half marathon due to the lack of relevant pacer information. Xiamen Xtep Investment, a partner of Zhongao Lupao, apologized for the oversight. He was sponsored by Xtep and accepted the punishment decision. The four runners had run together but the Africans slowed down, drawing widespread skepticism.
- Long-distance running races in China have faced issues with cheating and poor organization. In a 2018 half marathon in Shenzhen, 258 participants were caught cheating by taking shortcuts or using fake bibs. The incident in Beijing sparked controversy and raised concerns about the integrity of competitions in the country.
- The prevalence of cheating in long-distance races highlights the need for better oversight and enforcement to maintain the fairness and credibility of sporting events. The disqualification of the winners and the race organizer sends a strong message about the consequences of unethical behavior in competitive sports.
