　　The river surface is wider, so the distance for the athletes to swim is relatively longer. It is also a big challenge to participate in this competition under such plateau conditions. Unlike the past, the river surface was relatively narrow and the rush distance was relatively short. This year the river surface is wider, and it is also difficult, so this is a highlight of our competition.
