The origin of marathon
Marathon is a long-distance race, the distance is 42. 195 km (some say it is 42. 193 km, but all races use 42. 195 km). The origin of this competition starts from a struggle in September, 490 BC 12. The struggle took place between the Persians and the Athenians at the seaside of the marathon not far from Athens, and the Athenians finally won.
In order to let the people in his hometown know the good news of victory as soon as possible, Commander Mi Leide sent a soldier named Fidi Pitts back to tell the news. Freddie Pitts is a famous "Scud". He kept running in order to let the people in his hometown know the good news earlier. When he ran to Athens, he was out of breath and excitedly shouted "Athens, cheer up, we won" and fell to the ground and died.
In order to commemorate this event, in the first modern Olympic Games held in 1896, a marathon was set up with a distance of 42. 193 km. This is the name of marathon in sports.
