Chapter 108 Breaking the World Record
  Returning to the Burj Al Arab Hotel in the evening, Jiang Sheng resisted the urge to go to the Persian Gulf to practice "Swimming" and just boxed and stood in the room.

At 4:30 in the morning the next day, Jiang Sheng and Jiang Yuanzhou took a hotel car to the competition site in downtown Dubai.

The scene was crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of people.

It is the coldest time of the day in Dubai. It is only 14 degrees in the morning, and many people are wearing thermal blankets with their hands outstretched.

Jiang Sheng saw many familiar faces in the crowd, all of whom he had met at the China Overseas International Marathon last time. For example, the yellow-skinned Jia Renjia, Yang Shaohui, and Li Bo were all here, and the others were Philemon from Kenya. ·Kiptu, Alphonse Felix of Tanzania and Ethiopian players.

These black people basically all look the same, and ordinary people may not be able to recognize them. And I don’t know what’s going on here in Dubai. The city center is pitch black, and there are no square lights or searchlights.

It was really outrageous to just rely on some camera fill lights to illuminate the scene, making it look spooky.

Fortunately, his eyesight is good enough.

Jiang Sheng had previously praised Dubai's arrogance, but after a little in-depth understanding, he found that the infrastructure in many places is really not at the same level as the first-tier cities in China.

The surface of the donkey dung egg is shiny, and all the money is spent on the knife handle.

However, this is also in line with the personality of a big dog owner in the Middle East.

six o'clock.

After everyone took their places, there was no starting gun. The host in the loudspeaker in front, an official from Dubai, shouted the start through the loudspeaker, and then the crowd started running forward in the dark.

Jiang Sheng ran slowly forward behind the first echelon of Kenyan runners.

He was not in a hurry, and it would not be too late to wait until halfway through the journey before exerting his strength.

Anyway, the $50 must be his, and no one can take it away.

Both sides of the road were filled with cheering, shouting and cheering crowds. In addition to typical Middle Eastern faces, there were also many East Asian faces, many of whom spoke Chinese, but compared to Zhonghai, they were much sparser.

Especially after leaving the city center and running along the riverside avenue toward Palm Island in the southwest.

The sky gradually gets brighter, and the scenery of Dubai comes into view.

Jiang Sheng was running and admiring the scenery along the way. At this moment, there was a young Asian man in his twenties on the side of the road. He waved to him and shouted in broken Chinese: "Come on Jiang Sheng..."

Then the young man ran as fast as he could and handed the bag in his hand to him, "Here!"

Jiang Sheng originally smiled back at the other party, but when he saw the energy gel that the other party took out, his face suddenly darkened. His intuition told him that there was something wrong with this energy gel.

He calmly ran over and took the energy gel, but he didn't eat it. Instead, he looked at the live broadcast truck in front of him and put the energy gel in his pocket.

The live broadcast vehicle not only recorded his every move, but also recorded the appearance of the young man who just handed him the energy gel.

After the game is over, he will ask for the energy gel to be tested as soon as possible. If there is no problem, it is best. If there is a problem, then this guy will definitely not be able to escape.

He knew very well that his appearance had blocked many people's financial opportunities, so there must be many people who wanted to kill him.

So he has to be more cautious.

Along the way, he discovered at least four or five more suspicious people.

They handed him water, food, and energy gel. He didn't take the water or food. He only took the two tubes of energy gel and put them in his pocket.

He just wanted to know, who wanted to plot against him?

Time passed by minute by minute.

An hour and a half later, I had already run 27.5 kilometers, and the remaining distance was less than 14 kilometers.

Jiang Sheng had been hanging behind the Kenyan players in a leisurely manner, but now he finally started to exert his strength.

He continued to accelerate, quickly overtaking the group of black runners who had been running in front of him.

The three favorites for the championship this time are the 2023 Dubai International Marathon champion, Jitumu from Kenya, the runner-up in Masaila, China, Philemon Kiptu, also from Kenya, and Alphonse Kiptu from Tanzania. Felix was left behind by Jiang Sen one by one.

On the first day, the seven or eight black players in the echelon were all stunned after seeing Jiang Sheng's amazing explosive power.

The only talent they have left as Africans is sports. They didn't expect that even their strongest abilities would be crushed by Asians.

Especially the ease displayed by Jiang Sheng made them feel a sense of despair.

And this sense of despair has been brought to Asian players before.

Unexpectedly, they now tasted this feeling in person, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Philemon Kiptu, who was narrowly defeated by Jiang Shengzhi for the second time, couldn't calm down, even his breathing began to be disordered, and then he actually fell out of the first echelon.

But no one cared about him at this time.

Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Sheng, who was far ahead.

5 kilometers.

4 kilometers.

3 kilometers.

……

当姜胜冲破终点线的时候，时间停留在了1小时59分59秒上面。    姜胜不仅仅打破了2019年迪拜马拉松比赛中，由埃塞俄比亚选手创造的2小时03分34秒的记录，同时也打破了2022年柏林马拉松比赛中，由肯尼亚长跑名将基普乔格创造的小时1分9秒的世界纪录。

Witnessing the birth of the world record, and being an Asian, made countless Asian staff at the scene excited and cheering.

People are like this. As small as a village or as large as a continent, they can resonate with and be proud of each other.

If extraterrestrials are discovered in the future, they might feel proud that they are also Earthlings.

"It's amazing!"

"You're the best."

"Can I take a photo with you..."

The staff here in Dubai were the same as those at Zhonghai, and they were all chattering around.

The news that the player broke the world record quickly spread throughout Dubai, including the princes and chiefs, and the ambassador from China also received the news.

There were also two reporters from Huaguo Sports Network at the scene. Seeing that Jiang Sheng actually won the championship, the two reporters were very surprised. Then they both rushed over excitedly and wanted to interview Jiang Sheng.

As a result, they couldn't squeeze in because they responded too late.

Outside the fence, Lei Qingfu, Wu Yi, and Feng Zixin were all calling and shouting desperately.

"Jiang Sheng——Well done!"

"Jiang Sheng————Awesome!"

Although they knew that Jiang Sheng had just won the championship in the China Overseas International Marathon and was certainly capable, they still subconsciously believed that it was almost impossible for Jiang Sheng to win the championship.

The talent of Africans in long-distance running has been ingrained in their hearts. They have already won the championship from those African athletes once, and there is no chance of a second time!
  But the truth is that outrageous.

Just when they were mentally prepared that Jiang Sheng would not get a good ranking, Jiang Sheng actually won the championship directly and broke the world record. It was really amazing.

They immediately spread the news back to China, posted it on friends and classmates, and called familiar friends.

China is 4 hours ahead of Dubai, and it is already 12 noon. It is lunch time, and many people happen to be scrolling through their mobile phones.

"Who is Jiang Sheng? I don't have any impression... Oh oh oh, I think about it. Last year, someone said that he was working in China Overseas Shipping Co., Ltd. Why did he go to Dubai to participate in some kind of marathon?"

"Are you mistaken? This is Jiang Sheng? Who are you lying to? He's not a person at all, okay?"

"Hahahaha... Jiang Sheng is the same age as me. He ran a marathon and won the championship? Let alone the championship, he now has the ability to run a full marathon. I, Chen Haibin, chopped off the chicken neck on the spot."

"Hey Leizi, you guys, stop talking about Jiang Sheng. Just say you are traveling in Dubai."

"Hahaha, I saw your post on Moments yesterday. You actually went to the Burj Al Arab Hotel for a big meal and stayed in a luxurious suite. I'm so envious."

The group of classmates at Suzhou University, which had been silent for many days, suddenly became lively.

But everyone's topic of conversation was not about Jiang Sheng at all, and they couldn't even remember who Jiang Sheng was.

Moreover, marathon is originally a sport for a small number of people, and there is very little attention paid to marathon in China.

Jiang Sheng's college classmates didn't care, but some people did.

In the domestic track and field circle, especially the national track and field team and the China Overseas Track and Field Center, hundreds of pairs of eyes are watching the live video.

When they saw Jiang Sheng crossing the finish line first and breaking the world record, the video studios in Kyoto and Zhonghai suddenly cheered.

"Ah...win!"

"so amazing."

"Damn it, I actually ran into 2 hours, once again breaking the human limit."

"This is definitely a milestone record in track and field!"

"..."

Standing behind the crowd, Wei Hua, deputy director of the Track and Field Management Center of the State Sports General Administration, applauded gently.

Jiang Sheng's physical fitness really broke his understanding of human limits. He can run a marathon in less than 2 hours and a 8-meter dash in more than seconds. He is simply inhuman.

And he heard that Jiang Sheng's strength was also terrifying, and it was incredible that he could participate in the weightlifting trials.

Yu Zhiyong, deputy director of the China Overseas Track and Field Center, immediately called director Tang Jianchao to announce the good news.

"Xiao Jiang is really amazing!"

Tang Jianchao was filled with emotion.

"I heard people say that he knows Qigong. I thought it was nonsense at first, but now it seems that it may be true!"

Yu Zhiyong instinctively rejected this "qigong theory" in his heart. He always believed that Jiang Sheng was just gifted.

But then again, how can anyone be mediocre until the age of 39, and then suddenly become extremely talented?
  Even if you suddenly become enlightened, your IQ will skyrocket. What the hell is your physical fitness?

Tang Jianchao muttered a few words to himself, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately said: "I think our care for Xiao Jiang is not enough. You should hold a meeting to study it now, and assign a private team to Xiao Jiang as soon as possible to take charge of him. Food, clothing, housing and transportation!”
