There have been many cases of athletes dying in running and off-road races, but there are often only rumors, without official information from the organizing committee.
Regarding the case of a female athlete who died at the VnExpress Marathon Hue, the Organizing Committee has announced. For running races, when there are deaths, we should not hide them but provide clear information, with analysis from experts and medical experts.
Public information is necessary and beneficial for participants, to limit deaths from running in marathons and trails held regularly in localities across the country.
Organizing marathons is good, enhancing the spirit of love for sports in the community, while stimulating tourism in localities. Participating in sports competitions is also very good, to exercise and have a healthy lifestyle. However, playing sports must be safe, jogging to stay healthy, to push back the disease, not to get injured, broken leg or even "run to death".
Therefore, when there are cases of athletes dying, the organizing committee needs to issue warning and guidance information so that participants in running races are informed, avoiding the risk of injury and stroke leading to death.
A "cas" of being hospitalized or dying on the track will have a cause, due to a history of cardiovascular disease, speed competition, not exercising enough accumulatedly, drinking alcohol the night before, staying up all night or many other causes.
When the information is made public ( nay, it can be unnamed), with analysis by medical experts, running experts, it will be useful lessons for athletes participating in grassroots running races.
Don't be afraid of affecting the brand of the marathon organizer but hide information, just be public and transparent, to improve the quality and safety of running races.
Playing smart sports, achieving efficiency and having fun is the goal.
