The marathon was NOT an event of the ancient Olympic games. The marathon is a modern event that was first introduced in the Modern Olympic Games of 1896 in Athens, a race from Marathon northeast of Athens to the Olympic Stadium, a distance of 40 kilometers.

The race commemorates the run of Pheidippides, an ancient "day-runner" who carried the news of the Persian landing at Marathon of 490 B.C. to Sparta (a distance of 149 miles) in order to enlist help for the battle. According to the fifth century B.C.ancient Greek historian Herodotus, Pheidippides delivered the news to the Spartans the next day.

The distance of the modern marathon was standardized as 26 miles 385 yards or 42.195 km. in 1908 when the Olympic Games were held in London. The distance was the exact measurement between Windsor Castle, the start of the race, and the finish line inside White City Stadium.

sports meeting last month we had a sports meeting. though the weather wasn't very fine that day, the students were all very excited and the whole school was alive. this time, i was even more excited. because i went in for the sports meeting and my item was high jump. i didn't want to get any place, i only wanted to enjoy the game because i knew i wasn't good at sports. when i got to the field with my friend. i was both excited and nervous. when i saw the first height, my heart could hardly heat. how high it was！ it was higher than our desks. i couldn't believe my eyes. this was too high for me to jump over. i wasn't nervous at that timewhile i was a bit afraid. but i had gone there, i must have a try. not long after, the game began. the first person was great. he jumped over easily. i was too surprised to say a word. the second was good, too. the third nearly jumped over, but he wasn't bad… it was my turn. i had a deep breath and then ran towards. in front of the pole, i began to jump. oh, no！ my right foot hit the pole. “i failed.” i thought. and then, another unlucky thing happened. i didn't stand firm and i tumbled. i hurt my back badly. at that moment i felt my back was broken. it was too painful. it seemed that the people around field all didn't know that, they only laughed at my foolish posture. after a very short rest, i stood up. i push my pain back and then went out of the field with my red face. my friend hurried to come to me. he asked me if this was terrible. i was too pained with my back to answer his questions. i only shook my head. i was sad. not only i had hurt my back but also i couldn't go on in the game. i had to see the others jump and wish them to get a good place. though i didn't have the whole game. i was still very happy. because a lot of my classmates tried their best in the game and they got a lot of good places. they were all best in my eyes. i was thankful to them for doing their best for our class.
