At　the　check－in　channel，　candidates　verified　their　identities　by　facing　a　facial　recognition　terminal．　With　a　simple　“beep，”　the　system　completed　verification　within　just　two　to　three　seconds．　On　the　long－distance　running　field，　the　once－busy　scene　of　manual　flag－waving　and　stopwatch　timing　has　been　replaced　by　high－definition　cameras　and　sensor　equipment　installed　along　the　track．　As　the　electronic　starting　signal　sounded，　the　AI　system，　like　an　eagle　eye，　automatically　locked　onto　each　candidate’s　starting　moment　and　precisely　recorded　every　frame　as　they　crossed　the　finish　line．

“Right　after　finishing　the　run，　I　looked　up　and　saw　my　score　appear　on　the　big　screen—it　made　me　feel　much　more　at　ease，”　said　a　male　student　who　had　just　completed　the　1，000－meter　test．　“With　this　kind　of　exam，　students　are　convinced，　and　parents　feel　reassured，”　several　accompanying　teachers　remarked　at　the　test　site．
