Taking time to keep lit is probably what slowed him down.

A Chinese marathon runner who chain-smoked his entire way through a 26.2 miles race… achieving a competitive time.

I love this. Sounds like they have a few Karens over there, too.

I had a guy in the army who would light up on morning runs.

For a fifty-two year old 3:33 is a good time, smoking or not.

Had a buddy in TBS… He said many of the Marine Corps instructors would light up after the morning run. Hell, I had a ciggie or two after the MCM. Why not - you’ve earned it!

He need’s to start his own brand of cigarettes, “Uncle Chen’s”. Maybe he already does. And use the meme of a man running a marathon with a cigarette between his lips.

Machismo in China is pretty damn bizarre, and what makes it even more bizarre is women participate.
Probably the worst is this contest they have to see who can eat the most disgusting things like animal testicles, eating baby mice live. Then you got the animal torture which I won’t go into, but it’s the stuff of nightmares.
Back in the 1980s I worked for a fish market on Long Island NY, and my boss use to give me a bag of fish heads and fish guts and he would say give it to the chefs of these Asian restuarants.
I thought they were using them in recipes until one day I had to enter through the back door of one place and the workers who all looked Chinese were sitting on the steps eating that stuff raw, fish heads, fish organs, RAW!!! BLAAAH! They were using it for lunch! BLAAAH!

Nothing like the products of incomplete combustion to keep those airways clear.

The decision was based on a violation of Article 2.12 in the Xiamen Marathon rules and regulations, they said, which states: 'Uncivilized behaviour from runners such as open defecation, smoking, or trampling on flower beds or green spaces that affect the race and the safety of other runners will result in disqualification.'Smoking is “uncivilized behavior”?
Parenthetically, anyone who doesn’t collapse while smoking and running deserves Olympic Gold.
And for the record, I’d gladly take this guy in as an Automatic Citizen if China takes Paul Ryan.
