Why is only the marathon award ceremony held at the closing ceremony?

I guess it's a new tradition. This was another innovation for the Olympic Games in Athens. In the eyes of the Greeks, the birthplace of the marathon, the marathon is one of the "souls" of the Olympic Games, and the award of awards to the marathon runners at the closing ceremony is a symbol of the Olympic homecoming.

The Olympics always save the marathon for the last day, and the winners of the marathon must be awarded at a grand closing ceremony. The reason why there is so much respect for the sport is because it is a symbol of the Olympic Games.

It was the legend of the marathon that initially inspired and laid the foundation of the Olympic faith and forged her soul. There are various sports World Cups and championships in the world every year, why do people have the Olympics? It is because she expresses an ideal through sports, a spiritual quest that transcends economic, political and geographical concepts.

The marathon teaches people that for a true Olympic champion, the most important thing is not to win a gold medal, but to develop a personality as heavy and bright as gold. Loyalty, mutual assistance, fraternity, unity, perseverance, with incredible character and strength, overcoming unimaginable difficulties and obstacles on the road to success.

Towards the end of the Olympic Games, everyone is still gathered under the banner of the five rings, indicating that the true Olympic spirit is being passed on in everyone's hands!

To addend: The bronze medalist was Ethiopian athlete Tsegaye. Kebed. Waldo Law;

The silver medalist was Moroccan athlete Jawad. Gharib;

The gold medal winner was Kenyan athlete Samuel. Camau.

Blacks are too good at running

Because the marathon spirit is the best embodiment of the Olympic spirit.

Because this project is the most tiring.

Generally, there is a set time, normal half marathon (is a medal for running within 3 hours, full course (is a medal for running within 6 hours.)

On April 22, 2007, Chinese marathon star Zhou Chunxiu won the famous London Marathon with a time of 2 hours, 20 minutes and 38 seconds, becoming the first Chinese runner to win the championship.

It was the 27-year-old's first marathon run outside of Asia. Ethiopia's former 10,000m world champion Wami arrived 1 minute and 7 seconds after Zhou Chunxiu.

The marathon is a very popular long-distance running event in the world, with a distance of 26 miles and 385 yards, which is converted into kilometers (also said to be kilometers). There are three types of marathons: full marathon, half marathon and quarter marathon. The full marathon is the most popular, and the general reference to the marathon refers to the full marathon.

Because the Olympic spirit is the ancient Shina when he successfully defended the territory, a soldier ran back to Athens from a place called Marathon to report the news.

When he arrived.

When victory is declared, he is exhausted.

This symbolizes the later Olympic spirit.

Later in his honor.

The men's marathon medal ceremony for each Olympic Games takes place at the closing ceremony.
