As an Asian, Wang Ye shattered people's perceptions of sports.
That being said.
Wang Ye currently only competes domestically, and the level of these events isn't very high.
To many skeptical foreigners, Wang Ye's records and performances in Chinese events aren't very credible. Even now, there are many debates about Wang Ye on foreign websites.
Especially among the fans of Kipchoge, this group is the most skeptical of Wang Ye. Even that genius black athlete couldn't break the two-hour barrier, and yet Wang Ye, as an Asian, so easily moved the world record forward by twenty minutes—is that reasonable?
Therefore, Wang Ye going to Chicago to participate in an international marathon is very necessary. Not only to bring glory to the country but also to prove to the entire world that his record is genuine.
Events with lesser prestige like the Lanzhou Marathon and Shenzhen Marathon can be slandered with accusations of cheating.
