00:00Currently, the Paris Olympic Games are in full swing.
00:03All the national team players have been training hard in their national teams for many years
00:08to become the best of the best,
00:11and fight for personal and national glory.
00:14But have you ever thought that one day,
00:16these seemingly unreachable Olympic players
00:19will be your colleagues at the table next to you,
00:21who seem to be ordinary?
00:25There is an ordinary white-collar worker in China named Xu Yiming.
00:29He works as a client manager at a bank.
00:32Recently, he asked for a leave from his manager.
00:34He filled in the reason for his leave,
00:36saying that he wanted to go to Paris to participate in the Olympic Games.
00:39I believe that for many friends who have worked as a manager,
00:42there are thousands of reasons for employees to ask for leave.
00:45No matter how absurd it is, it's not surprising.
00:47So the manager thought that he must be joking.
00:51In order to ask for leave, he made up a reason,
00:53saying that this manager just wanted to go to Paris to play.
00:57As a result, he actually got the qualification to participate in the Olympic Games.
01:01It was a shock to this manager,
01:04so he immediately signed a leave application.
01:06Hearing this, everyone should be very confused.
01:09What about the Olympic Games?
01:11The Olympic Games, an indicator event for athletes,
01:14is it really possible for ordinary people like us
01:17to sign up and participate?
01:21It turned out that the Paris Olympic Games this year
01:23is to allow a wide range of people to get in close contact with the Olympic Games.
01:27In particular, a project called the public marathon was opened.
01:31In other words, whether you are a professional athlete or not,
01:34as long as you are qualified, you can participate.
01:37This new project attracted more than 800,000 people from all over the world to sign up.
01:42In the end, 40,000 people were qualified for the competition.
01:45This bank manager is one of them.
01:48But among these 40,000 people,
01:49it is not easy for you to be qualified.
01:53This bank manager said that he was originally an amateur marathon enthusiast.
01:57But in order to get the qualification,
01:59he insisted on running in the morning and night every day
02:02from three years ago.
02:05As long as he feels lazy today,
02:08he will run more tomorrow.
02:09Therefore, he accumulated 100,000 points in two years,
02:13which is equivalent to running a total of 5,000 kilometers.
02:16Finally, on this New Year's Eve,
02:18he received an official email from the Paris Olympic Committee
02:20and successfully obtained his qualification.
02:23Let me report to you that this bank manager
02:25will take part in the competition on August 10th
02:28to challenge the 42 kilometers of the marathon.
02:31And his goal is to finish the race in 3 hours and 30 minutes.
02:36And emphasize that this is not just his personal challenge,
02:40but also a chance to prove that ordinary people
02:42can also achieve the opportunity to participate in the Olympic dream.
