奧運首個馬拉松冠軍斯皮里東魯易斯

1873年1月12日生于希臘的斯皮里東-魯易斯在24歲的時候，成為了1896年第一屆現代奧運會的真正的英雄人物。當時雅典只有13萬5千人，而觀看這次馬拉松賽竟達10萬人之多，真可說是“萬人空巷”。當身著淺藍背心的希臘人斯皮里東·魯易斯第一個沖入運動場時，全場雀躍，歡聲雷動。

Born on 12 January 1873 in Maroussi near Athens, Spyridon Louis, a 24-year-old Greek shepherd, became the real hero of the 1896 Games.

On 10 April 1896, Louis, wearing shoes that had been donated by his fellow villagers, set off from Marathon with sixteen other runners. He took the lead four kilometres from the Panathenaic Stadium and, to the great joy of the 100,000 spectators in and around the stadium, won the race by more than seven minutes. Forty years later, Louis recalled the moments after his victory: "That hour was something unimaginable and it still appears to me in my memory like a dream…. Twigs and flowers were raining down on me. Everybody was calling out my name and throwing their hats in the air…."
