those Kenyans weren't even out of breath, was just a walk in the park for them.
Sports are like politics it happens all the time 😅
Right😂
U so right
nah
@@EzGrimzzngayon
The three African runners were escorting the Chinese runner for 13 miles. Well done.
See Chinese Secret Police.....Jing yi Wei.......OR NOT See them; if U get my Drift!
Where's the amazing camera man running beside them?
Well done? For what???? For being manipulated??? What does COMPETITION mean???
😅😅
bodyguards
Winner looks exhausted. The 3 others look like they were out jogging.
It was practice for them🤣
If you look into more details it was revealed that the Chinese runner He Jie had a 2h6min set time marathon on March 24, 2024.
This video marathon was on April 14, 2024. His time of recovery was extremely low.
The 3 Kenyans runners did not run a marathon 2 weeks ago. Be fair guys.
The truth remains that they were paid , so the Chinese boy can win 😅
He gave me money, so he is my friend 😅
He Jie: Let me win I give you money, ok 😉
Kenyas: Let us see money first, where is it?
He Jie: 💰 See real money, ok, take care everything you need
Kenyans: 👌🏿👌🏿
He Jie: 👍 Ok let go! Champion! 💪🏆
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Kenyans are no Duterte who famously said that if you have no money then you are not my friend.😅
no, the sponsor gave them money. sham on the sponsor.
😂😂😂😂😂
I want to be his friend too 😂😂
That Chinese guy was making it soo difficult for those Kenyans to lose 😂😂😂
It was the Kenyan athletes who made the mistake, and the one you blame is China?
😂😂😂😂
🤣
@@araara4746 Shut up. 😂
@@VIVIHESS
Are you anti-free speech?
I personally would feel embarrassed winning like that
Yeah I agree.
Not red China.
That’s how I felt. But Chinese see things from a different light.
Nezi west parrots are jealous 🤣🤣🤣
No one beats the Kenyans... it was a gesture to let their fellow runner win in his home Countryside
Don't call it Olympics 😅
If african win they get detained , chinese win , african get ktv girl 😂😂😂
@@girlsposecomeya2649 preety much true
Nah they probably got paid by the CCP or organizers.
@@girlsposecomeya2649 probably money
Kenyan here, please let us pay our chinese debts in peace please, we do not wish to anger our overlords.
Haha lol
Exactly. Lord Winnie the Pooh isn't happy.
CIA
You're a colonial settler, not Indigenous Kenyan. We want our land and reparations.
😂😂😂
That's what you call "friendly competition"
😅😅
That's what you call "money talks".
It is a mockery of sports. Isn't it obvious that the three Kenyans kept waving him to move forward of them. Obviously they were bad actors.
Paid (bad) actors.
They’re exposing the fact that they’re not allowed to win bozo! If he didn’t make those gestures, people here would be arguing that the Chinese dude won fair and square. But their behavior and gestures is how you know it’s one of the matches where they’re threatened just when the match starts not to defeat their Chinese opponents. It happens in their boxing a lot too! These people come for balanced game and just at the last minute before the game start, they’ll be told that they’re not allowed to be victorious over the Chinese opponent at the end. Happened to a friend of mine. He had no idea they would do that till the last minute.
Maybe they also not happy to lose in this manner, thus purposely showing the obvious for everyone to see.
@roywhitaker007 Calling him bozo is way out of line, calm down buddy.
@@roywhitaker007 Charles Bennett vs ZhenHong Lu
Well, almost anyone can be your best friends for the right price....
😂😂😂 true dat!
We accept chinese yuan better than our currency..just deposit to my account and next year i let you win again and again..let have a party after you win my chinese friend runner
Kenyans: Struggling to stay behind He Jie.
He Jie (In R Kelly voice): Y'all are killing me man! I'm fighting for my life!
It’s very funny because Mnangat (the Kenyan runner) insisted that he was a pacer instead of a competitor, but he hasn’t been able to prove so 🤣
That is the point, if they can't prove he is a pacer than there is corruption going on.
@@sola4393since when did u see different nations wearing same kit wen running only pacers do it...again our pacers run full marathon what is a quarter marathon 😂
It wasn’t a bribe ,it was a gift.
correct my sir.
😂😂😂
😂 dictatorship f#@$&d your mind
@@er.analysisfacts2998 are you swearing me?
@@er.analysisfacts2998that Kenyan runner say dude
Its so stupidly obvious its hilarious😅
I would be embarrassed if a "friend" allowed me to win.
I let my friend beat me at FIFA sometimes 😂😂
He saved his friend from the work camps, great guy
🤣 indeed a kind human being.
💀💀💀
And his organs 😅
Mr He pent out of breath, while the African runners patted him on the back , totally carefree, speaks volume
The guy in the video is discussing if they're pacers, but pacers are usually not better than the actual practicing sportsmen
😅😅😅😂😂
The Kenyans were obviously paid to let him win
if they were, they would act it out, and nobody knows it. It is seem that they don't get pay and don't care the world to see it, they want his chinese friends to win it.
shame on you. not everything is about money. kenyans have more dignity than you. it was an act of respect and gratitude. your statement says a lot about your character
@@doccan3848 Isn't it more disrespectful to let someone win which will probably continue to overshadow the results. Everyone now thinks the guy that won was not deserving of it.
@doccan3848 when you said "not everything" that means there are "most" or "some"
@@doccan3848 Letting an athlete with an inferior ability win in a supposedly fair, high level professional sports is not a dignified act. It only diminishes professionalism. It seems like the bribe money is bigger than the winning prize.
what a TRUE friendship.
😂😂😂
the last time Philippines was called "Friend" of China is now stabbing us in the back and illegal and thieving our territories in WPS.
Green paper friendship 😂❤
the chinese guy looked gassed out after the race while those kenyan guys were like it was just a troll in the park...genetic differences i must say.
just like Usain Bolt turning his head left/right and smiling at the opponents but not letting them pass him.
That is what I've notice also, those three guys can easily out run him but they kept at a distance, if they can't prove they are the pacers than this game is more likely rigged.
Unrestricted warfare
@PajeetStreetShitterswithout cheating a day is wasted for china🇨🇳
stroll* 😅
The pure souls of Kenyans, they didn't even realize what they did was too obvious.
He said he let him win.
Even as a Chinese person it looks Shady. Might as well carried him on their shoulders 😂
what d ya mean it looks shady, its shady! xD
@@kookie175 what if the Africans had too much fried chicken and they couldn't run after. Can't say it's 100 percent shady
They probably would have carried him if they had been paid a bit more. And He Jie would have gotten a better time too! LOL.
Social credit deducted.
And in Paris the Kenyans will be gold, silver and bronze while He will come in 70th place.
Aren't they worried they might be banned from other events? Maybe it was worth it...? It was so obvious they weren't even trying.
Yes they were! They were trying hard.....to lose!
They are known to rig games or cheat on their behalf.
Don't be surprised. It was the part of debt payment. 😂😂😂😂
We all know Kenyans are the fastest people 🇰🇪♥️
east africans and west africans are the fastest people not just kenyans
@HindusRapeBengalLizards You do understand there is a difference between swimming and running no?
@HindusRapeBengalLizardsI don't see 🇨🇳bat eaters in football or basketball or rugby either
Let the Chinese runner win the olymic gold in marathon over the KENYANs..money is better than gold medal..China promise to write off all your nation debt for an olympic chinese gold
And easy to enslave
making your country proud
Country ❌
Money ✅
Hahahaha, a panda has beaten the cheetahs!!! Fixed game
🤣🤣🤣
Every single win from any game by China will be questioned if it is legit or not.
So embarrassing.
shut up , you troll.
I mean it's obvious and clearly stated americant
Just an FYI - Pandas r not from China. Pandas r originally from the low lands of Tibet. As of right now I can def confirm that Winnie the Poo is from the Tianaman square region.
they don't have the word SHAME in their vocabulary 😂😂..
Says the ones who commit war crimes, hate crimes and slavery
Everyone has a price, it's a matter of HOW MUCH? 😂😂😂
Indeed
Well in USA they let a man who think he is a woman to compete in womens swimming and broke the womens record and became a champion!
@@joshi6898
And they dare to say that other people don't have shame??? 😂😂
Shame on them!!
Corruption is the answer
More like political, geopolitical.
their friend is called money
😂😂😂
If this was really about paying off debts for the Africans then its a massive insult to the actual Chinese runners such as Su bingtian who actually works hard to be great runners.
Su Bingtian has Genuine Natural Talent!....But; So What?!.............. So; does Alex Hua Tian (Equestrian Show-Jumper!);
He was Disqualified because His Horse Ate Contaminated Hay! A Substance Called: Regumate, was found in His 13 Year Old Horses System....
And that was that!
There R a lot of:- "Funny going on-s in Sport!" It is Naive to believe that anyone And/Or Everyone Plays by an even Playing Field these days!
Remember:- Lance Armstrong?!😜
It's not. Stop
You and jokes were never meant to meet 😢
@@garychin5321 balco scandal?
Easy with the reporting. Don’t want to lose social credits over this.
I'm informed that He Jie is a star runner in China. Beijing needed to convey the image of strong China, fake or not.
in USA they have a fake woman, he is a man who think he's a woman competes in women's swimming broke the women's record and became a champion! no one can beat that! LOL
On behalf of my Kenyan brothers, that was a training session for us...we were not official competitors. We do that soemtimes, you know, enter sports for fun and just test ourswlves for fun 😂😂😂
Im Chinese and yeah the Kenyans clearly let him win
A lasting friendship between people of different backround, endured despite the odds. Very touching… and hilarious. Netflix should make a comedy film about this.😂
This is China, where the most important thing is the face value, national pride, bla bla bla
Nezi west parrots
When your father own the Olympic game.
Why is China so insecure about everything 😂
Wheres the insecurity
@@gmanlee575too insecure to organize a fair race on Chinese soil. Why invite elite Kenyan runners if they hold back to let a Chinese runner win? It's not a real race, it's a charity race for the Chinese moral
Is there betting involved in these races? SUE the 3 -k- -runner for manipulating the outcome.
@@gmanlee575since ancient times!
@@gmanlee575You know exactly what he’s talking about. Stop playing dumb.
Welcome to China 🇨🇳
‘...because he is my friend’... Yes...for the right price! xD
So looks like china purchases METALS during every tournament
Please Forgive them, they should be punished and not banned..
in china everything is fake 😂
kenyans need acting class
It was very obvious they weren’t trying to beat him.

😂😂😂😂
Why don't he let his friends in Kenya win? What kind of friendship is that with a Chinese so far away from Kenya? I think he needs to be investigating and penalized , to discouraged that thing.
This is a bad day for this sport
Africans being colonized by another major power again 😂
This will help us Africans to repay the loan we borrowed from China😂😂
as if those Chinese will actually pay them,
China promised funds for Belt and Road in Philippines, but they only give less than 10% of actual funds.
and now they are stealing our resources or fishing grounds, and illegally occupying our seas in WPS.
Chinese have no Shame.
same friend who wouldn't even shake his hand afterwards 😂
They all should be banned from running any event! Cheating is cheating!
The guy who was let to win, is sponsored by the company who organized the event.
How much did those kenyans receive as a bribe to let him finish first
This will age well in sports history. And china history
It's not like they were trying to hide it. If a runner doesn't want to win, that's his prerogative.
Friend with benefit...
Benefit of owning you lot of money 😂
LOL, CHECK THOSE 3 KENYAN RUNNERS BANK ACCOUNT
they bought bitcoin
I wish I have true friends like these 3 guys. Instead I have a friend who is self centred, treating me like a walking Google. Another who eye my late parents house for his financial gain. I am relieved they are out of my way.
Friend as in “friend with benefit”, financially.
Shame on you China 🇨🇳
China threatened Kenyan to let a Chinese runner win race.
Otherwise, Kenya's 🇰🇪 BRI project won't be completed.

: i am going to win this race because all fast runner my friends
0:58. Kenyan runner extends arm and says "This way please".😂
Why make it so obvious? There are smarter ways to cheat. I guess they didn't have enough time for rehearsals

As a Kenyan it was funny to see how hard they were trying to lose the race the guy holding out the hand like hold your engines hoooold....🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃
When China says we gonna loan you money for those bridges and buildings, you gotta say no!
No, Africa has benefitted from it for the most part. Most countries do NOT regret the trade. That is propaganda. There might be 10,000 projects globally, the media highlights 2 or 3 that failed and then say people have regret. That is dumb. I can say that Nigeria for example does not regret its trade with China, debt notwithstanding. We would do it again!
I live in China. Everything is miserable here, but no one dares to complain.
Seriously if there is next life, I wish to be born in any other country, except China.
if it was that bad, just leave. no1 is forcing u to stay behind.
Why doesn’t anyone complain?
@@jaycc3365U just can’t. It’s not only because of CCP, it’s about the ignorance of this society. People here regards Xi as an emperor like ancient time, and if you complain about this, those people would be scared and （most likely) report u to CCP. I am totally disappointed about here and I have decided to emigrate to another country.

We know how you feel. You live in a country where any criticism of the government will get you locked up. Look after yourself.
Your MOM’s a pacer!

a person who gives you money is a friend.
Just paid off 3 airports and a couple highways in their country let them work
Seriously, that's how Chinese 🇨🇳 BRI projects can do to you!
Another example, China stopped working on 6 BRI project to wait for the 🇵🇭 Philippine government to make a concession on islands in the West Philippines Sea.
it's a debt trap

one of china's golden proverbs " IF U CAN CHEAT THEN CHEAT "
It almost looked like he didn't want to pass them, until they almost slowed down over obviously.
The Kenyan runners are getting sleepy, but they have to let the chinese guy win.
The Kenyans are practically walking so this guy can win.
Another term for match fixing..Should be banned
Well...be fair ! They didn't pick him up and carry him across the line.
Kenyan Just teach the World that How China is just winning by chance not by Strength
does the sunglasses rly help the runner😮
yes. you get wind in your eyes.
@@GorgieClarissa why did the other 3 guys not have any then?
Personal preference imo
@@lyhthegreatCouldn’t afford them growing up so they just got used to it

2. Its sweat may drop into its eyes (not all happen like this but everyone aren't created same)
I even want that kind of friendship 😂. My friend will not give paper so that I can be topper 😂
Gentlemen's agreement😂😂
Why are we overthinking this... it's clear that the Kenyans wanted China to win. Effectively saying a win for China today is a win for us tomorrow . This is a global message to all those more able countries that we are all in a race and yes there are those with the talent to win things like this marathon but today we are pushing you forward in this race as we hope you will help push our country forward because we need that victory more than the victory at this marathon....If the countries of world missed that message then shame on us.
Disgraceful! They should be banned.
These four athletes should be fined and BAN
Was thinking about it and… that just doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world ?!
Tencent gave them a free Gacha roll for letting his friend win
3 Kenyan runner not even complain. If it happened west, they will say it was sporting spirit or give respect to home runner. Unfortunately it happened in china. 😂

China or a Chinese company paid off the Kenyans to let He him win, but they forgot to tell the Kenyans to take some acting lesson's.
guys, dont worry, his is just an exhibition race
how does Beijing reack to this bizarre competition
A hollow victory. A "friend" would of kept their month shut and not tell the world they let him win.
