A young man died after competing in the Standard Chartered(StanChart) half-marathon in Singapore on Sunday morning.
According to a statement from the StanChart marathon organising committee, the Chinese runner, whom they declined to identify, was 21 years old, and had collapsed after finishing the 21km race at the Padang at about 8:30am.
He was attended to immediately and sent to Singapore General Hospital (SGH), where he died an hour after he collapsed.
The runner’s family has since been notified of his death, and theorganising committee will be assisting the police in their investigation.
“The Organising Committee extends its sincere condolences to the family of the deceased,” said the statement. -

Why are banks so obsessed with marathons and sports events? Why aren't they more interested to come together to organise mega-clubbing parties of the scale like ZoukOut more often throughout the year instead?

One moment you are alive, next moment you are dead.
How to know when you are going to die?
-
Nobody understands your own health status except yourself. Enjoy the sport but take care of your health first.

On a positive note, he tried and exceeded his limits.
More reason to stay home than participate in these marathons which is becoming like a fad to showoff than genuinely test themselves for my peers.
-
only 21.
sigh...
RIP.

banks are known and symbolises institutional honesty, bureaucracy and highly obssessed with going and achieving the extra mileage...
Zoukout is considered down class to bankers....but chatting about wines, golf, books, and world affairs are more like it for them....aiyo....say until i oso wanna puke...
bankers are cultured to preserve a cold and austere face when it comes to money..

时辰到。。。。
-
risk assessment and death declaration form to sign before participation....
-
marathons are no joke....i ran one many years ago, 21km non-stop in 2 hours and my lungs were in pain for one week.
-
well, Marathon comes from the Battle of Marathon where the messenger Pheidippidis was told to tell Athens that they have won the battle... the messenger ran all the way from Marathon to Athens without stopping, burst into the assembly of leaders, proclaimed "we won!" and promptly dropped dead...
-
so moral of the story is....people die from too much running. It would interesting to do some stats on that worldwide.
-
marathons are still an international and popular sports with many enthusiasts...not to say even triathlon...for well trained sports professionals, these are attainable....
but for working professionals, esp. highly stress jobs, they can do much shorter runs and with medical advice perhaps...
-
in whatever case, a declaration form is needed...

I mean, banks can organize similar events of the scale like ZoukOut, throughout the year, like say FuckOut in Mar, SuckOut in Jun, and CockOut in Sep etc. So far oni Citibank is the oni bank associated with Zouk n ZoukOut.
