As the first time Chinese people have participated in the Redbull X-Alps competition, thousands of Chinese people are constantly monitoring the situation of the Song competition. Watching this competition in China is difficult because of network issues, but people are thinking of various ways to get the latest news.
Song landed around 15:30 on Day 3. He was being chased by Ondrej Prochazka (CZE), who then overtook Song one hour later. Shegtao said: “We were very sad because he had landed in a bad place. It would be difficult to launch again.” The team were trying to plan what they could do next, but it didn’t look hopeful.
Song and the team were so certain they would be eliminated that there were plans to join a BBQ. Then a phone call gave them hope.
“We got a call that it was still possible to avoid elimination as team CZE hadn’t pulled a Night Pass. We calculated that we could still do it.” She said: “There was still a lot of uncertainty, but there was hope. We didn’t want to leave with regrets, so we tried.”
When the team started, they had to make up 35km to catch Ondrej. A route was planned that took Song along the valleys to avoid climbing, then he started pounding out the kilometres. The team resupplied him frequently with food, drink, socks, and recharged his equipment. “He just kept going!” said Shengtao.
Song found it difficult in the beginning – with all that distance stretching out in front of you into the night, it must have been daunting. The team kept him in good spirits and the kilometers kept falling.
Many Chinese supporters expressed their gratitude for Song’s bravery because he worked too hard
