The medals for the marathon race were given out in the closing ceremony. It’s an ode to ancient Greek history that marathon is one of the last contests in Olympics.
In 490 BC, after a Persian army was defeated by Athenians on the plains of Marathon, the legend grew that a foot courier ran all the way to Athens to convey the great news of victory. And myth has it that he fell down dead after declaring , ‘Rejoice! We conquer!’. The legend of the runner who died to bring the good news took hold and out of that emerged the modern marathon.
For the first time in history, a men’s and women’s victory ceremony happens together at a Summer Olympic Games.
The medallists of the marathon are presented with their medals! Congratulations to all!
