I didn’t run this year, but I noticed that Marathon did not rank the results of Marathon/Half Marathon Run 1-3 runners.

As the saying goes, “Without comparison, there is no harm to progress.” In addition, the author recently met two young people studying Data Science in college. I can take this opportunity to teach them (actually this is just an excuse to use cheap labor). Therefore, this year I repeated the old tricks of 2016, 2017, and 2018 and created the 2024 bad horse performance chart.

Looking at the picture, what can you see?

1. First of all, as we all know, female sub330 is easier than male sub3, but how much easier is it actually?

Answer: According to the figure above, the female sub330 series has a 9.3% success rate, and the male sub3 series has a 4.8% success rate; that is to say, the success rate of women’s ten thousand gold is twice as high/easier than that of men.

2. Answer the question everyone wants to know/gossip about – How many brothers and sisters are there in the ‘Challenge Group’, whose chip time is worth a million dollars, but how many seconds are behind their gun time?

The answer is:
男:6個 (and their unlucky bib numbers are 4514*, 4454, 2142, 4804, 7257, 8083) *The worst
Female: 2 (3067, 6031)

3. How many people are qualified for “Ten Thousand Gold” (male sub3, female sub330), but cannot get “Ten Thousand Gold” because they are not in the challenge group?

The answer is:

Male: 27 (25 Run 1; 2 Run 2)
Female: 14 (12 Run 1; 2 Run 2)

4. Is there anyone 2:59:59 so sub3?

Answer: Yes

postscript

All the way through organizing data + writing articles, I felt that being a reporter requires limited time and space, to understand + organize things, and then write them back in simple words -> Let everyone understand that it is really not an easy job.Please donate money to support Hong Kong journalists.

This time I will also make the file for making the scum horse picture public, so that people who are interested can make the 2025 scum horse picture in the future.

Technical Note

    • When making charts, I use the fairer chip-time instead of gun-time as the runner time.

When you write articles, you will know how difficult and great it is to be a reporter. Please support Hong Kong journalists with monthly tuition fees.
