In the last 100 meters of this year's Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon Men’s Marathon, the 26-year-old Huang Qile used his 1,500-meter middle distance speed to overtake Cheng Wuya, who was ahead of more than 40 kilometers. He won the championship at the beginning of his life. This is the first time in his life. Stand on the Standard Chartered Marathon podium.
He said that he would dedicate the championship to her in the sky.
There are no overseas runners participating, and all awards in this year's Zama competition are for local runners.
Men's All-Malaysian champions have become the possessions of Wei Geng, Yin Zhuoxi, Huang Qile, and Hong Kong-based Japanese runner Cheng Wuya.
This is the beginning of Huang Qile's life. He has always been a middle- and long-distance runner between 1,500 and 5,000 meters.

42.195 kilometers is a long road he has never experienced before, and Huang Qile has always been in the leading group.
As the event entered Central, he and Shirobuya gradually left their opponents and fought alone to win the championship.
However, after crossing the Longhe Road Tunnel, Cheng Wuya exerted force when he went uphill and threw Huang Qile away. The outcome seemed to be decided.
Unexpectedly, the good show is behind.
Cheng Wuya entered the Causeway Bay and tried all his strength to bring it back to the end.
Huang Qile reappeared in front of the camera at this time, sprinting hard.
Cheng Wuya thought that the champion was in sight, but from the running posture, she was already weak.
In the last 100 meters, Huang Qile brought a wonderful scene-he strode vigorously, and after a few steps, he passed Cheng Wuya, and finally crossed the line in 2 hours, 31 minutes and 10 seconds, and beat Cheng Wuya in 4 seconds. champion.

This journey took only a few seconds, but many pictures appeared in my mind.
"Looking back on the bitterness of the past, the previous hardship is more difficult than the last one!" Those hardships were injured for two years and could not compete in the last session because of a knee injury. It is also the Hong Kong people's indifference to middle distance running; it is also a mother-in-law. Yesterday, I had a funeral, and for the first time in my life experienced the pain of life and death.
"My father-in-law had already left before I was born. My mother-in-law had a funeral yesterday. It was the first time in my life that I experienced life and death. My mother-in-law has never seen me run, but she loves me very much. She will support everything I do. I think, this champion will not Will it be a gift for her?"
Huang Qile and Cheng Wuya fought for the whole process.

Huang Qile used to participate in the Jamma, regardless of 10 kilometers or half marathon, never stood on the podium.
Today’s battle was his first time to run a whole marathon, and it was also the first time he won an award in Zama.
Speaking of the most critical moment, he said that people are exhausted and stalled, but they use what they do best: "The end really depends on will. I told myself that the first time I ran a full horse, it was a PB anyway. I was really tired and stalled, but I used it back to the middle and long distance to practice, withstands the lactic acid, and kept pushing myself, so it broke out at the last minute."

To Hong Kong people, the "medium and long distance" may be unfamiliar. The 1,500 meters and 5,000 meters are probably just races that are not as eye-catching as the 100-meter flycatcher in the track and field and are not as popular as a marathon in road races.
Huang Qile went from the 400m and 800m in middle school to a junior college to become a 5000m and 10km runner. Later, due to injuries, he changed to 1500m as his short-term main event.
No matter which project he is, he is not an eye-catching runner; this time he prepared for the marathon, he originally studied technique and tactics by himself.
Fortunately, Wei Geng, who won the third place today, trained with him and shared his "horse racing" knowledge and experience, and he was able to run well in the end.
He was grateful for the runners to fight side by side, so that he had the opportunity to think further, as far as the Olympic stage: "The whole horse is my ideal. I want to fight for the Olympics. Maybe this goal is too ambitious, but after several years, I finally stepped out. The first step. I think that if I don’t jump out of the comfort zone now, I will only be able to speak words in the Olympics. I must gradually plan how to get closer to the Asian level. When I ran, I was thinking about it. How far is the level of Asia?" Huang Qile said, I believe that the 2024 Paris Olympics is not yet time, but they must be deployed gradually, looking forward to the Olympics in the future.
Huang Qile was a swimmer when he was a child, and enrolled in Tiyi Middle School based on his swimming performance.

In recent years, new faces have emerged in the long-distance running world in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong record holder Huang Yinjun went north to train, and Zhou Han Nie went to Oxford, England. In addition to Wei Geng and Yin Zhuoxi, the 26-year-old Huang Qile is added to this year's slag horse.
Maybe we haven’t gotten to know him yet. Even Wei Geng spoke for Huang Qile, "The middle and long distances are low and the resources are few. I hope everyone will pay more attention to new faces." But Huang Qile never lost his love of running. , "As long as you like running, you will want to run longer and longer, the distance you run is short, and the scenery you can enjoy is too few."
People and things at the moment are not necessarily beautiful all the time, but as long as you persist, it will eventually be a landscape called "worth".
