Chinese marathon runner (1987–2021) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huang Guanjun (Chinese: 黄关军; pinyin: Huáng Guānjūn; 1987 – 22 May 2021) was a Chinese marathon runner; he died in the Gansu ultramarathon disaster.
Huang was the champion in the men's hearing-impaired marathon at China's 2019 National Paralympic Games.[1][2][3][4] He died on 22 May 2021, at the age of 34, when high winds and freezing rain struck a long-distance race in Baiyin, Gansu, China. Twenty other runners died in the tragedy.[5]
He had impaired hearing after an "injection error" when he was one year old, and also could not speak.[6][7] Having difficulty finding employment, he had, according to his friends, "joined races over the years in the hopes of winning some prize money".[1]
