The Women's Marathon. What could you learn from watching this event?
Preparation to run a marathon.
Grit. Did you see the final sprint between Hassan 🇱🇺 and Assefa🇪🇹?
Siffan Hassan was a beast in the Olympics! Gold in the marathon. Bronze in both the 5,000m and 10,000m. A true track athlete.
Perseverance. Many individuals quit without a plan. So, you never get the urge to see what perseverance is like when watch part of a marathon? You only need to observe a few minutes and, "Phew!"
A few minutes. That's all. If you can't watch a marathon for a few minutes and work with the urge to move or to do something out of your ordinary, then maybe you're watching it incorrectly. The Women's Marathon was my last Olympic sport of the Paris Games to fulfill watching every sport. Not every event in every sport but...every sport.
I love watching these games and have loved it since Seoul 1988. But, the enthusiasm kicked in the most in Barcelona 1992. However, Paris 2024, with its ease of access via PeacockTV, made these games watchable at its highest level.
Hopefully, everyone knows about most or all of the sports included in the O-Games. Please know about smaller market sports such as, Team Handball, Fencing, Badminton, and more. Broaden your scope instead of watching the same sports over and over and over...and over again.
Five Rings,
