Freestyle football
花式足球是街头文化的代表之一。它有自己的舞台、自己的比赛和自己的文化，是一种脚上的艺术！
Many people are standing around a man. He is performing a football dance. He uses his legs, feet and head to control (控制) the ball and keep it moving. When a person comes forward, the performer acts like he’s going to pass the ball. But then he sends the ball between his legs.
The performer is French freestyle football star Arnaud?“Séan”?Garnier. Like other freestyle football stars, Garnier once dreamed of becoming a professional (职业的) football player. But he hurt himself practicing, so his dream couldn’t come true. However, in 2006, Garnier found his new interest. He combined (结合) football skills with dancing moves. Two years later he won the?2008 Red Bull Street?Style World Finals. It was the first competition on freestyle football.
Garnier is one of the famous freestyle football stars. John Farnworth is another one. He can dribble a ball (运球) with his feet for a long time. He once dribbled a ball (in the air) through a marathon in?London.
So, how do these stars get their skills? The key is practice, practice and more practice. For example, Farnworth carries a ball with him everywhere and practices it thousands of times.

现代雅典马拉松是为了纪念公元490年一位名叫费迪皮迪兹的士兵从希
腊马拉松镇的战场带着希腊人击败了波斯人的消息一直跑到了雅典。传说费迪皮迪兹说完“胜利”两个字之后倒地而亡，从此为马拉松戏剧性的结尾开创了先例。

现代的奥运会于1896在希腊举行开幕时，从马拉松桥到雅典奥林匹克体育馆的24.85英里的赛跑，又使费迪皮迪兹的传说得以复活。传统上，奥林匹克比赛中最后一项是马拉松，而它对于1896年4月10日第一次举行马拉松比赛的希腊人尤为重要。希腊人主持的是第一届奥林匹克运动会，而且希腊人还必须获得1块奖牌，才有最后一次为国家贏得荣誉的机会。25名跑赛者聚集在马拉松桥上。发令员咕哝了几句话后就鸣枪示意比赛开始。在按原样新建的雅典体育馆的终点线等待的人群兴高采烈，简直无法用语言形容。一位邮政工人斯比里东路易斯比其他选手提前整整七分钟到达终点。他用了2小时58分50秒跑完了?40公里的距离(平均每英里用了7分11秒)。当全部比赛结束时，共有9名选手跑完了全程，其中8名是希腊人。主办国欣喜若狂，由此马拉松比赛诞生了。

在1896年雅典奥林匹克比赛上，由于波士顿田径协会是运动会的赞助者，美国成为参赛的9个国家之一。中距离跑选手阿瑟布莱克是进入首次马拉松比赛唯一的美国人。北美第一次马拉松比赛的计划是在返回美国的船上开始酝酿的。第一届波士顿田径协会马拉松赛于1897年4月19日举行。选择这个日期是为了纪念1775年保罗瑞威尔骑马报信的著名举动。

在1908年伦敦奥运会上，马拉松距离被改为26英里，从温莎城堡到白城体育场，延长了385码的距离，以使得比赛的终点处于英国王室包厢的前面。赛程增加了英里，也是马拉松赛场上呼喊“上帝保佑我们的女王”这一传统的起源。在经过了16年异常激烈的争论之后，1924年巴黎奥运会上正式把26.2英里的距离
定为马拉松的比赛距离。
