Not only that, Governor Ren Zhenhe also led other provincial leaders to the scene of the accident and personally directed the scene. From the above arrangement, it shows that the Gansu Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to this accident.
There were 172 athletes participating in this competition, but 2 1 person died in this competition, and the mortality rate reached 12%, which was enough to break the Guinness Book of Sports Records. 2 1 a young and lively life passed away like this, and people can't help asking, was this accident caused by man-made reasons or natural disasters?
In my opinion, although the weather is the direct cause of the death of athletes, the unprofessional organizer and carelessness in work are the important reasons for this accident.
Before the competition, the Meteorological Observatory had given an early warning of the weather during the competition. In this competition, 265,438+0 athletes were killed because of extreme weather. According to the news report afterwards, before the competition, the local meteorological station had made a forecast on the weather on the day of the competition, suggesting that extreme weather might strike, but unfortunately, the weather forecast did not get the attention of the organizers of the competition.
The management and coordination of the organizers of the contest are in name only. The marathons we often see are usually held in cities, but this marathon is different from ordinary marathons. The length of this marathon is 100 km. The venue of the marathon is far from the bustling area of the city, and the track far away is on the barren hills. In addition, the city of this competition is located in Baiyin City, Gansu Province, with a relatively high altitude. Athletes are at high altitude during the competition, which is also a great test for athletes.
Why is the organizer's management not in place?
1, marathons are generally far away, which tests the physical strength and endurance of athletes. In such a long-distance race, athletes' physical consumption will be very large, so they need to replenish their bodies in time to provide energy for athletes. Unfortunately, due to the negligence of the organizers or other reasons, there are very few supply points along the way.
The athletes in this competition spend most of their time on the road at high altitude. Long time at high altitude will cause altitude sickness and hypoxia. The main symptoms of altitude sickness are headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, palpitation and shortness of breath. If not treated in time, people will fall into a coma and may be life-threatening.
It is estimated that most athletes didn't expect the competition to be held on the plateau. It should be that they didn't respond well in advance, and the organizers obviously didn't inform this situation in advance, which caused the athletes to be unable to cope in the competition.
3. However, it can't be said that the management of the competition organization is not in place. It is understood that at the beginning of the competition, the organizer arranged to give each athlete a towel, but most athletes were at a loss when they received the towel. They don't know what towels are for at all, which also adds trouble to their competition and makes many towels discarded by athletes.
The organizers of the competition have no emergency plan for emergencies. For such a large-scale sports event, and in a complex competition environment, organizers should fully consider all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur in the competition and corresponding countermeasures before the competition. However, judging from the process and results of this game, it is obvious that the organizers did not take these into account, and these are the root causes of this tragedy.
This competition has caused great casualties, and it has also caused a relatively unfavorable social impact on Gansu Baiyin. Extreme weather is only a natural phenomenon, and we can't change it for human beings, but if we can fully understand various factors before the competition and do our work more carefully in the competition, this man-made accident can be completely avoided.
The lesson of this accident is very painful, and it can also be used for reference by the organizers of other events, but the cost of such lessons is really too high. At present, the aftermath is being handled in an orderly manner, and I hope that the deceased will rest in peace!
