(Part Four)
30 kilometers, Li Lei had punched in with a time of 1 hour 25 minutes and 48 seconds, pulling the gap between him and the second echelon to 2 minutes?!!
This gap was not just ordinary!
Moreover, Li Lei's result of passing the 30-kilometer checkpoint was better than Eruchok's: The world record of 2 hours 01 minutes 09 seconds was faster by more than a minute!
At this moment, he was only 12 kilometers away from the finish line.
With Li Lei's current results, it was entirely possible for him to break the world record.
Li Lei had been in the lead since the beginning of the Dubai Marathon.
It was extremely boring!
There was no anxious confrontation, no chasing.
There was only Li Lei's personal show!
One person led the entire field!
He was about two minutes ahead of the second-tier team. The gap was not just big.
When they were about to hit the 35km clock, Adora, who won the Berlin Marathon last year, began to speed up.
The original famous general of Konia, Kaylo, had already fallen behind!
Li Lei was still two minutes ahead of the second team.
Adora tried his best to catch up, but he could not catch up at all.
Even so, his time of 1 hour, 42 minutes and 07 seconds was a new record.
As for Li Lei?
He had only participated in two marathons.
His debut performance in the Xiahu International Marathon had set a new personal best in the Guangzhou International Marathon.
Now that he was punching in at the 35th kilometer, he had refreshed his personal record.
And it was heading towards the world record!
40 kilometers, Li Lei was ahead by 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Adora, who was in second place, took 1 hour, 57 minutes and 16 seconds.
He tried his best to catch up, but he did not close the gap between him and Li Lei.
The gap between them had widened!
At this time, they were only two kilometers away from the finish line.
There was basically no suspense in the results of the competition.
The winner of the Dubai Marathon was definitely an athlete from the Sichuan and Sichuan teams of the Great Xia. Li Lei!
More importantly, he might break the record set by Eruchok in the Berlin Marathon last year: A world record of 2 hours 01 minutes 09 seconds!
"40 kilometers! We can see that Li Lei's lead is very obvious!”
"Adora from the second group has been left behind by Li Lei by two to three hundred meters. It's basically impossible for him to catch up to Li Lei and compete with him for the championship!”
" More importantly, Li Lei's 40km time is even faster than the world record of 40km…"
"Before participating in the Dubai Marathon, Li Lei posted on his social media platform: He was going to participate in the Dubai Marathon and try to break the world record…He was serious!”
"According to some information I got from the inside…I don't know if it's true or not…Anyway, it's news from the Sichuan team. They said that after the Guangzhou International Marathon, Li Lei had a training session with the Sichuan team.”
"Really?"
"The Sichuan team said it, but I can't guarantee it's true…But we also saw that Coach Liu Guorong of the Sichuan track and field team and Director Jiang of the Sichuan General Administration went to the competition site.”
Within the Great Xia Kingdom.
After purchasing the live broadcast rights to the Dubai Marathon, it was no longer just a graphic report.
There was even a commentator and host.
The commentator was a famous track and field athlete who had some connections.
He knew that Li Lei had broken the world record during his training in the Sichuan team.
Anyway, he couldn't guarantee that it was true.
However, looking at Li Lei's current results... The head coach and the deputy director had gone to the scene. There was a high chance that Li Lei had really broken the world record during his training in China.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a high-profile announcement to break the world record when he set off for Dubai.
"It's time to cross the lane!"
"No way…Contestant Li Lei actually raised his hand to look at his watch?!”
"How many times has he looked at his watch in the game? In my impression, the camera has been shown several times!”
"Alright…let's see the final result of our contestant Li Lei-2 hours 00 minutes 41 seconds!”
"A new world record has been set!”
"Li Lei broke last year's Eruchok marathon in Berlin: A world record of 2 hours 01 minutes 09 seconds!”
"The new world record belongs to Li Lei and Great Xia!”
"No one has ever thought that in the field of marathon running, a Chinese, Asian, and a Great Xia person…could break the world record!”
" We congratulate Li Lei!"
"Every time he takes part in a competition, he can break his personal best. Now, he has even broken the world record!”
"A championship prize of 200,000 USD and a world record prize of 1 million USD, Li Lei deserves it!”
“……”
In the end, Li Lei was the first to reach the finish line in 2 hours, 00 minutes and 41 seconds, successfully breaking the world record.
Sofia's Adola won the second place with a time of 2 hours, 3 minutes and 34 minutes.
The third contestant was also from Serbia: Maura.
When Li Lei crossed the lane, the head coach of Sichuan Team, Liu Guorong, Director Jiang, and assistant Zhang Li all jumped up!
If it wasn't for the fact that the track was blocked and they couldn't rush in, they would have already rushed in to celebrate with Li Lei!
This was a world record!
Not only Coach Liu and Director Jiang…Zhang Li felt happy for them.
As the organizer of the competition, Dubai was also very happy and excited.
A 200,000 USD prize and a 1 million USD world record prize didn't matter to the rich man in Dubai.
What was the purpose of setting up such a high bonus every year?
Wasn't it to attract strong athletes to participate in the competition?
Wasn't it all for the sake of setting a world record in the Dubai marathon?
After so many years, the first world record was finally set in the Dubai Marathon.
Moreover, this world record was created by an Asian athlete from Great Xia!
This was even rarer!
The organizers gave Li Lei an award on the spot!
The medal and prize money were distributed together!
Of course…he couldn't just give him cash, but a check!
Before the match, no one expected that someone would be able to break the world record.
The organizers did not prepare an enlarged check for the one million yuan prize.
The little prince had come personally as a guest and fired his gun to start the match…all for Li Lei.
And now, Li Lei had obtained first place?
He even broke the world record?
He was more and more convinced that Li Lei had real kung fu.
Otherwise, how could an Asian have such good results?
He could even break the world record?
The little prince decided to personally present the award to the contestants.
He presented Li Lei with a medal and an enlarged $200,000 bonus check.
He even wrote a cash check for one million dollars to Li Lei on the spot.
" Congratulations, you're very powerful!"
The little prince presented the award to Li Lei, who was draped in the national flag, and even said a few words.
It was in English.
'Congratulations' and 'very impressive' were two simple sentences, but Li Lei, who was a bad student, still understood them.
"Thank you!" he said in English.”
"After the competition, I will visit you…I wonder if you have time?”
When the little prince said this, Li Lei said,"？？？
He didn't understand at all!
In response, the little prince only smiled.
He learned from the lifeguard, the two inspectors, and the staff of the exclusive hotel: Li Lei didn't know English.
Later, he would arrange for someone to contact Li Lei's assistant.
During the live broadcast and the media's filming, the one million dollar check in Li Lei's hand was too small to be seen clearly.
However, there was an introduction.
Everyone knows that this is a cash check for one million dollars. It's a world record prize!
Li Lei participated in the Dubai Marathon and received 1.2 million dollars in prize money!
How could he not be envious?
No, it should be a prize of 1.3 million dollars!
The International Association of Athletics Federation would also award 100,000 dollars to the athlete who broke the world record.
They had to wait for the results of the drug test to confirm that the results of breaking the world record were true and valid. Then, they would be issued together with the world record certificate!
