Second, suggestions
A marathon waiting list is possible. In some marathons, the organizer may provide a waiting list so that other contestants can fill these positions because the contestants give up, get injured or fail to qualify for the lottery. The order of waiting is usually determined according to the order of drawing lots or the time of predicting names.
In some cases, the waiting list may be decided before or on the day of the game. If the number of alternate players is called before the start of the game, they will be informed and allowed to participate in the game. If there are seats available on the day of the competition, the organizer may announce the waiting list on the track or after the competition and notify the selected players.
However, the specific policies and implementation methods of the waiting list may vary from competition to competition. Participants are advised to consult the competition rules or contact the competition organizer for more information about the shortlist.

No matter what kind of sports, if you want to be an excellent player, the most important thing is to have the endurance to bear all kinds of mental and physical pains and the ability to control yourself, and often show fresh enthusiasm for the game and keep working hard for your ultimate goal.
