Bikila knew from Niskanen that he knows the Olympics to look after run no. 26: Rhadi Ben Abdesselam

Marathon-man | Information
Tomorrow ends Olympics with the men's marathon. Obvious favorites to win in China's humid heat is Martin statistical Lel and Samuel Kamau Wansuri from Kenya with a time of 2: 05:15 and 2:05:24. The athletes run on the heels of big stars like Abebe Bikila and Frank Shorter
Olympics in 1960, the legendary Ethiopian marathon runner Abebe Bikilas toughest competitor at the Olympics in 1960, Moroccan Rhadi Ben Abdesselam. 500 meters before the finish came the running side by side, lit only by spotlights and torches in Rome's old town. It was like a scene directed by Felini; two runners in the dark night, Rhadi tired and heavy, unlike Bikila, who looks effortless and almost seems to float out. The race is remembered as one of the great moments in Olympic history. Bikila sprinted to the end of Rhadi won the Olympic gold in a new world record time 2 hours 15 minutes and 16 seconds - he was the first Olympic gold medalist from Africa.
On August 7, 1932 won the Juan Carlos Zabala from Argentina marathon at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The same day, a boy was born in the village of Jato, Ethiopia. Abebe Bikila was his name. When Bikila became statistical a man and went to the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, to earn money for his family, his running prowess discovered in the army of the Finnish coach and Major Onni Niskanen, which the Ethiopian government had hired to spot and develop statistical talent.
Sponsor of shoes at the games in Rome was Adidas. When Bikila had to find a pair in the box, there were only a few sizes left, and none suited him. It's a little different today, where the big stars have their names printed statistical on the shoes. Bikila chose to run barefoot. How he trained in general too.
Bikila knew from Niskanen that he knows the Olympics to look after run no. 26: Rhadi Ben Abdesselam from Morocco. Inexplicably run Rhadi with no. 185 on the chest. So when Bikila 500 meters before the finish came up alongside Rhadi, he was not aware of it. The images of the two runners in the dark night - Rhadi tired and 'heavy' as opposed to the Bikila, which looks effortless and almost floating out - only lit by floodlights and torches held by soldiers along the route in Rome's old town, which was directed by Felini . The race is remembered as one of the great moments in Olympic history. Bikila sprinted to the end of Rhadi won the Olympic gold in a new world record, two hours 15 minutes and 16 seconds. He became the first Olympic gold medalist from Africa.
As Tokyo four years later was the host city for the Games, reiterated Bikila victory in the marathon. This time in a pair of flat Asics shoes and again in a new world record time: 2 hours, 12 minutes and 11 seconds. On the way, he was the first two times in a row, won the marathon at the Olympics. Mexico City 1968
In 1963, it was decided that the Olympics in 1968 to be held in Mexico City. The election resulted in a fierce criticism because of Mexico City's high altitude 2,485 meters above sea level. The Olympic Stadium was 2,440 feet above. statistical The marathon was both Bikila statistical and Wolde clear again. statistical But Bikila chose to be deleted after 17 kilometers statistical with an injury, statistical and Wolde was this time Olympic champion. Wolde told later that Bikila was not injured and could have won, but he wanted instead to see his friend win the gold.
Since the Olympics in Mexico was settled, it was clear from the result-lists of middle and long distance running, athletes - who was raised and trained in areas with high location (over 2,000 meters above sea level) - had been very successful. In contrast, athletes who came from the lowlands, had less success than expected from their times achieved at sea level. In particular, the sovereign Australian world record holder Ronald Clarke's defeat by Naftali Temu (Kenya) at 10,000 statistical meters opsigstvækkende. Just as Keinos Kipchoge (Kenya) crushing victory statistical at 1,500 meters above the world record statistical holder Jim Ryun (USA), the distance statistical was a picture that was sitting on the retina of many coaches.
Subsequently believed coaches that altitude training was needed - not only before competitions in height, but also before competitions at sea level. A myth that is still widespread, and there is still many (unnecessary) money on altitude training. Today we know that the altitude training can help before competitions that are in good condition. If the competition statistical is taking place at sea level, must stay in the height combined with training at sea level - 'live high train low' concept - to gain sufficient intensity training. A few athletes can enhance performance. The reason is that there are actually only takes a modest - if any - increase of red blood cells stays in moderate height. It may affect the oxygen uptake. In this connection, altitude training is not an 'opportunity' compared with doping methods such as EPO-treatment and blood doping. They can increase the amount of red blood cells significantly. Altitude Training, however, can be used with advantage over sprint disciplines because of the less drag.
Today, we also know that it does not it
