The name comes from a small village in Greece, where a famous battle happened in 490 B.C. When the Greeks won, a soldier ran over 40 kilometres from Marathon to Athens to tell people the good news. When the modern Olympic Games were held in 1896, the organizers knew the story. The marathon has been a race since then. (责任编辑：admin) |
