Marathon 2007, Xiamen 2007-04-02 22:00

This was the first time I've seen the Marathon Competition in person. We got up so early in the morning and rushed to the seaside to wait it starting. With a gun sound at 8, all athletes dashed out of the scratch line and gathered many groups soon. We were waiting in the Baicheng Station in which it has nearly-11-kilometres apart from Huizhan centre where the competition started with. In 40mins, we saw the first group were running over while hearing of the REC-helicopter coming from far beyond. There were two-or-three Chinese athletes dispersedly in a bond of black men who might be from Kenya or whatever I guess. Then we tried our best to scream out to them until they spurred on by us and gradually disappeared in our eyeshot, 'Rejoice! Rejoice!' I shouted again and again. Finally, our Chinese heroes, Li Zhuhong and Zhu Xiaolin, both beat fellows from Kenya to capture two gold medals at this match. We are proud of them!!!!!!!
