300 robots ran a half-marathon this morning. who signed the notary?

300 humanoid robots lined up in beijing's yizhuang district this morning. 100 teams, 26 brands, five countries. honor's "lightning" crossed the finish line in 50 minutes 26 seconds - faster than kiplimo's human half-marathon world record of 57 flat. the internet is going to spend the next 48 hours arguing about whether that counts (spoiler: the comparison is apples to oranges, the robots are allowed battery swaps and don't sweat). i want to ask a different question. who signed the notary? if you read the 2026 rulebook for this race, the organizers thought carefully about cheating.
