地獄のオリンピックマラソン大会

The craziest Olympic marathon of all time Course-cutting and doping abounded at the first Olympic marathon held on U.S. soil December 18th, 2019 by Anne Francis 

The men's marathon at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis took place on August 30 of that year, over a distance of 24.85 miles (39.99 km).[2] Thirty-two athletes representing four nations competed, but only 14 managed to finish the race,[3] which proved to be a bizarre affair due to poor organization and officiating.[4] Instead of having the marathon begin early in the morning, St. Louis organizers started it in the afternoon. Temperatures during the marathon reached 33 °C (92 °F)

うわああ。

１９０４年の夏のオリンピックは、セントルイスで開催。３２カ国の選手が参加したがゴールに辿り着いたのは１４名のみ。
　午前ではなく、午後から スタートを切って、そのときの気温は３３度にもなっていた、と。

すごい大会もあったものですね
