World's top-shipping humanoid maker; not the race winner but central to the broader story

Twelve months ago, a humanoid robot finished Beijing's E-Town half-marathon in 2 hours and 40 minutes. It was the only competitor of twenty that didn't overheat, fall over, or need repairs. On April 20, 2026, a different robot completed the same 21.1-kilometer course in 50 minutes and 26 seconds — faster than any human has ever run the distance.
