▍原文
A delivery worker from China has been chosen to compete in the Paris 2024 Mass Participation Marathon, the first ever event for amateur athletes at the Olympics.
Luan Yushuai gained enough critical sport credits required and was selected via a lucky draw.
As well as running fast to meet work deadlines, he trains in his spare time by covering 400km every month. "Delivering goods and running are two indispensable things in my life," he said.
