No one remembers the name of the winner, but everyone remembers that one runner that finished no matter what.

Joan Benoit, the winner, has been celebrated ever since. She won the US Olympic Marathon trial just 17 days after arthroscopic knee surgery, which Runners World Magazine has listed as the greatest individual woman’s Marathon performance in history. Grete Waitz finished second. She won the New York Marathon nine times, the World Cross Country Championship 5 times, and the Marathon in the inaugural World Athletics Championship in 1983. She is often credited as the single biggest reason the Marathon was added for women to the Olympic program. Both are legends in the running community and have been inspirations to women and girls world wide. Rosa Mota came in third, becoming the first woman from that country to win an Olympic medal. She went on to win the Marathon in 1988, becoming the first woman, at at the time only the second person, to win a gold medal for that country.

I was at this game!! I was an 11 year old boy when my father took me. We sat close to the front row. When this lady came in and everyone could see her struggling, it was unbelievable what happened next. Everyone, without speaking a word, stood up in unison and cheered this lady to inconceivably will herself all the way to the finish line. She dug deeper than anyone I have ever seen. I have never witnessed anything like this in sports or other venues in life. Spectators from all over the world cheering an individual regardless of the country for whom she ran. It has impacted me to this day. She is my hero. She is up there with the Tank Man and Rosa Parks.

So often it isn't just the medallists who inspire us. This reminds me of another Olympic marathon runner from Tanzania, John Stephen Akhari. It was Mexico 1968 and the last day of the Olympics. Due to the high elevation of Mexico city, a climate Mr Akhari had never trained in, he had terrible cramping and had fallen, sustaining injuries to his leg and head. This didn't stop him though. He had his injuries wrapped and he continued the race. He was the last runner to enter the stadium. It was dark and many spectators were heading home. Word got out about this lone runner and people stayed to cheer him on as he came into the stadium. For years after the clip of his lone struggle in the dark was used as an example in sports montages. The pain, courage and determination etched on his face. I hadn't thought of this in a long time but this clip brought back the memory.

How much water though, people have died from too much water during marathons, something about it causing ion imbalances/deficiency.
@CharmsDad
@CharmsDad 5 лет назад
Thapelo Mokoto That’s what known as water intoxication or hyperhydration. It is extremely rare in distance athletes. When it dies occur it is usually associated with ultra marathons (50 to 100 mile events). It typically happens when athletes drop to a walk but continue to drink large amounts of water. Athletes who are still performing at or near their competition level will lose water through sweat faster than they can absorb it. As I stated, it is extremely rare, and it does require a very specific and very uncommon set of circumstances. The real danger is dehydration, which is FAR more common and can quickly lead to heat stroke and death. (Runners World has run several articles on this subject over the years.)

There's a lady from Africa who became an elite competitor in the triathlon, she's one of the best in the world. She also can't compete in international, sanctioned events because her natural testosterone levels are too high. No she's not trans, some women just have higher testosterone levels and she can't compete unless she takes drugs or has an operation to lower them.

I don't usually...but I cried at this..it was with respect for her willpower and perseverance...It reminded me of the multiple times I engaged in different sports and finished them to the end, not always as a winner, but with the true spirit and sportsmanship...it reminded me of my 75 yr old dad who marched down 7 km at Rajpath for days for Republic Day as part of the ex-servicemen troop in biting cold with pride even though he had a biting shoe and high fever...it reminded me of the never-die spirit of those who served their loved ones without being recognised...and many more

I'll give you my take on why it is inspiring. Running/finishing a marathon is both a physical and mental challenge. When the physical part becomes really hard, the mental part has to kick in. This video shows the power of the human spirit, something I really appreciate. In my one attempt, I had to walk the last 6 miles in pain, but my spirit pushed me. Another time I witnessed a gentleman with cerebral palsy complete a 5k (3.1 miles) one painful step at a time. What does this matter, you may ask? Well, when a person has to fight cancer, their spirit has to be strong. When a person has to deal with the death of their spouse, their spirit has to be strong. Every time we humans get to witness the power of the spirit, it should be inspiring to us.

NO, it isn't. It was disgusting to watch as officials should have intervened rather than let her risk her life like this. She was out of her mind with heat stroke and not even thinking clearly. The woman also finished near the bottom, there was nothing inspiring here, just a near death tragedy.

Please like this comment so people can understand why the commentator emphasizes "hot" temperatures that don't appear to be hot. At sea level with 90+% humidity, the ideal air temperature would be no more than 48° Fahrenheit (8°C) for a long distance race. This is why 67° Fahrenheit (19°C) is considered hot. It's NOT hot for normal room temperature; however, it's hot for distance running in general. The longer the run, the lower that temperature should be to allow your body to give off more heat and cool down. When you're running a long distance race, if your body can't cool itself properly because the weather is hot, your body naturally slows itself down to produce less heat. If you can't sweat out the excess heat because you didn't drink enough water in advance/during the race to produce perspiration, then you're at risk of heat stroke. Combine that information with a Swiss Olympic marathon runner on a hot day in LA and that's why this is incredible. She's perspiring and persevering.

meanwhile in Tokyo 2020, athletes are running marathons and the 50k racewalk with +30° and +70% humidity.... never heard anywhere that 19° is considered hot for running long distance, and humidity is another factor in the equation that should be considered. 25° is hot; at 20° you're probably not gonna break a world record but it's ok for racing. Dehydration is bad at whatever temperature, you can cool down with ice like the athletes at Tokyo did, but no ice is gonna rebalance your electrolytes. Stay hydrated, always.

This is personally inspiring. I don’t run, but I’m 39 and definitely in a metaphorical final lap. And I’m seeing all the positive and negative comments-and discerning all the kind and hateful people behind those words-and both sides, for different reasons, remind me to finish.

I admit! I read many comments under the videos, and saw I was far far away to b the only 1 impressed, crying, respecting so much this great effort. R.e.s.p.e.c.t. Madam! A true Hollywood movie!
