On November 18, 2018, the Shanghai International Marathon started. According to the latest regulations for this year’s launch, a ranking award for Chinese runners will be set up. The domestic champion will receive a bonus of 45,000 yuan. The competition was extremely fierce, without He Yinli participating, the real duel was between Li Zhixuan and Zheng Zhiling. As the defending champion, Zheng Zhiling will win the three consecutive championships or be surpassed by Li Zhixuan will be the biggest attraction. In the end, Li Zhixuan from Inner Mongolia crossed the finish line with a personal best time of 2 hours, 30 minutes and 20 seconds, and won the domestic women's championship, setting a new record for the domestic women's competition in Shangma, and also tied the national best result of the season (tied with Li Dan) .
Interestingly, during the marathon, Li Zhixuan blew up the male runners who accompanied her. The accompanying runner was a doctor. After crossing the finish line, he sat down for a long time and his eyes were black. But the good news is that even though he was blown up, he was also PB.
With excellent results and stable performance, Li Zhixuan has become one of the best female marathon runners in China. Li Zhixuan's goal is to break 2 hours and 30 minutes. Li Zhixuan, who has both hard work and talent, is fully capable of breaking 2 hours and 30 minutes, but her goal is far more than that. Twelve years ago, the Chinese women's marathon once broke through the 2 hour and 20 minute mark and won a place in the world's first echelon. However, in recent years, the results have declined significantly, and the Chinese women's marathon has also lagged behind Bahrain and Japan. It is believed that Li Zhixuan will be the leader of the Chinese marathon in the future, and also the "star of hope" who is most likely to challenge African runners.
Li Zhixuan said that Kipchoge is the runner she admires the most. Li Zhixuan said: "My wish is to be like Kipchoge one day and become a marathon runner that people will always remember."
