Marathon fun facts from the early Olympics.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Brazil's Lima was suddenly pushed by unknown people while leading and lost his gold medal. In fact, in the earliest Olympic Games, there were some strange things to happen in every marathon.
At the first Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, the host Greek team Spyridon Luis was the first to rush into the stadium, and the audience was thunderous, and the Greek Crown Prince Konstangu couldn't help but accompany Luis to the finish line, and King George I also stepped down from the viewing platform to greet the champion. People threw Lewis up and down, and even shouted, "Give him a minister."
However, Lewis still returned to his hometown, became a postman, and lived a poor life with his wife and children.
At the second Olympic Games in Paris in 1900, the marathon took place in a lap around the city of Paris. Of the 19 competitors in the competition, only the French player knows the streets of Paris inside and out of the corners. In the end, the Frenchman Tyato won the championship.
The foreign competitors took a lot of detours, and the 19-year-old Swedish Fast, who could have achieved a better result, was pointed out the wrong way by a police officer and ended up in third place. Afterwards, the policeman committed suicide with such guilt that he committed suicide.
At the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, American marathon runner Fred Lawne hitchhiked part of the race and was the first to reach the finish line, and his daughter Alice Roosevelt presented him with a gold medal and a kiss. However, his deception was soon exposed. Another American player, Thomas Hicks, eventually won the championship.
However, Hicks also cheated because he swallowed schning, raw egg whites and brandy during the game to maintain his strength, which was doping at the time.
At the 1908 London Olympics, the Italian Pietri was the first to enter the stadium, but he was so tired that he almost collapsed, fell down the track five times, and ran in the wrong direction. In the end, it was ** who carried him across the finish line. Because he relied on external help, he was finally disqualified from the competition.

Young friends are too new to Ali and may only have one memory, that is, he shivered and lit the torch of the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, it was the elderly Ali, the seriously ill Ali. Don't forget, today is from yesterday. In a sense, yesterday was more difficult and glorious.
Ali's fame and glory came in the sixties and seventies of the 20th century. Someone once commented: "Ali was one of the most famous people on the planet in the 20th century!"
Comparing the planets and universes, we can see the great impact of it. For the greatest boxers on our planet, there are four numbers – "3", "56", "29000", "2 billion" that speak best. "3" means that Ali won the world heavyweight boxing championship three times in the year.
56", which means that in his 18-year career, Ali has only played 61 of the biggest matches at the world level, and the number of wins is 56. "29000" means that Ali has been in professional boxing for nearly 20 years, and he has received 10,000 heavy blows to the head! With such a heavy blow, ordinary people will be killed with one punch, which is why Ali is stiff and trembling all over his body today.
Finally, "2 billion" means that in a match in October 1980, Ali vs. Holmes, the world's TV audience was 2 billion, and the impact was so great that it shocked the world!
