The Marathon Runner’s Dream马拉松

Dorando Petri’s feats have contributed to making sport a modern epic with winners and losers, drama and small and large heroes. His legendary story is adventurous, having kept his ideals like a true sportsman. Born in a poor family in Carpi, Dorando Pietri has always loved running. His dream comes true when he is selected for the marathon at the Olympic Games in London, the 24th of July 1908. Whereas one by one the other athletes collapse, Dorando instead moves along in the race. A little less than a kilometre from the finish line he is alone in the lead. Exhausted by the race he is in a state of confusion and takes the wrong direction!
