Introduction:7Month29–31,EZON brand founder Chen Zuyuan participatedinthe “Yes Sports Club”Beijing to Zhangjiakou Chongli “Chase Your Dreams Together – City-to-City Relay Run” event,to support the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
On July 31, when International Olympic Committee President Bach announced on stage that Beijing had won the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, my yes runningteam and I had just completed our Beijing-Zhangjiakou city-to-city relay run to support the Olympic bid.
Perhaps it was a coincidence — EZON was founded in 2008, the very year Beijing first hosted the Olympics. It seems that from that year on, Chinese people began to pay more and more attention to sports and to the importance of physical activity in life. The year 2008 was not only a watershed moment for the rise of the Chinese sporting spirit, but also the starting line of EZON’s long journey in developing smart sports watches.
Therefore, this event to cheer for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou city-to-city relay run is of extraordinary significance to EZON. As the founder of EZON and a participant in this event, I have even deeper feelings — many reflections, and also great joy.
This was an event that allowed close contact with celebrities. It was truly exciting to run alongside former badminton world champion Ye Zhaoying, famous singers Sha Baoliang and Sun Nan, Chinese figure skating champion Zhang Dan, and CCTV host Zhang Bin, all for the sake of cheering for China. I ran with particular dedication, and even felt the course was too short and not satisfying enough.
The organizers planned for participants to complete the 5-kilometer run within 40 minutes. The route was inside the 6th ring road for the first half and outside for the second half. The first 3 kilometers were at a faster pace of around 6 minutes per kilometer. In addition to the hot weather, we also faced challenges such as complex nighttime road conditions. The difficulty level of completing it successfully was quite high. But every runner in the YES running team was highly enthusiastic. With each baton pass, they showed their strong support for and longing to host the Winter Olympics. I was deeply moved by the atmosphere and filled with energy.
I wore two watches in total — one was the G3, developed by EZON specifically for trail running.As a powerful assistant in this event, the new EZON smart running watch G3 wholeheartedly helped all runners complete their routes. This smart sports watch, which can operate without a phone and is designed for extreme sports, provides runners with comprehensive services including personal health status, time and date, heart rate pairing, heart rate alerts, altitude, and more. From the track maps provided by the EZON smart running watch, every runner’s distance, total time, pace, energy consumption, and average cadence are clear at a glance.The other was a new, unreleased product. Some people on Weibo noticed I was wearing two watches in photos and eagerly asked if it was our new model. I was deeply touched — every move EZON makes is closely followed and continuously monitored. That’s the pride of a brand!
The reason I wore the new model was, first, to personally experience the product, and second, to express through myself EZON’s innate understanding of smart technology. With the rational wisdom of engineers, the ultimate thinking of designers, and the passionate emotion of athletes, we continuously explore the perfect integration of smart technology and sports and achieve self-transcendence.
I think I’ve done it ! I’m thrilled ! I’m proud of my team for developing these products, which I see as absolutely perfect, with this kind of spirit. I’m also proud to be able to stand here wearing these products and convey their spirit to those who love sports. And I’m incredibly honored to have contributed to cheering for China’s Olympic bid.
I received the baton from Chinese figure skating champion Zhang Dan, becoming the sixth relay runner, and continued to chase the dream. Then I passed the running baton to CCTV sports channel host Zhang Bin, fulfilling the mission of the runners and collectively passing on the collaborative spirit of Chinese sports. After running the 5 kilometers, I didn’t feel tired at all. The heart rate monitoring by the G3 kept my heart rate within the set range. I even felt like I could run another 10 kilometers. During the final leg of the relay, I accompanied Sha Baoliang for the last 100-meter sprint. When we crossed the finish line, I was truly excited. It was a meaningful and joyful thing, and EZON was right there participating, supporting the Olympic bid.
Although it has been two days since the successful Olympic bid, my heart is still incredibly excited to this day. Participating in this event made me deeply realize that every step is both a beginning and an end. For China, from bidding to hosting, every step is a mark in history; for EZON, from participation to completion, every step is the growth of the brand; and for me personally, every step I ran to support the Olympic bid was filled with the satisfaction of self-improvement, and within that satisfaction was the joy of teamwork. This is the spirit that sports bring to a nation, and it is also the boundless opportunities that a strong nation brings to those who love sports. EZON should be just like this. Since the creation of EZON, all products have been developed around how to better serve sports, hoping to bring sports enthusiasts more powerful and distinctive smart sports watches and intelligent sports management solutions. I can proudly say that EZON has achieved this — of course, there is still room for improvement, and we can do even better in the future. Bidding for the Olympics is about seizing an opportunity; winning the bid is just the start; hosting it successfully is the complete showcase of one’s strength. EZON is the same — developing the smart sports watch market is about seizing an opportunity. Winning recognition from users and delivering a perfect user experience is the end of one run for EZON, and even more so, the start of the next run !
Let’s all keep going ! EZON, go for it ! China, go for it ! Let’s look forward to and meet again at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
