PHIDIPPIDIES AND MARATHON
In the modern Olympic Games the longest running race is called the Marathon. It gets its name from a town in Greece called Marathon which is 26 miles from Athens, the capital city of Greece. This is the story of why the Marathon race is included in the Olympic Games.
Script
Once there was an ancient Greek soldier called Phidippides. He ran so fast that he was often sent on long journeys with important messages. One day the leaders of Athens realized that their city was going to be attacked. They sent their army to the small town of Marathon, where they fought their enemies. It was a very long and hard battle, but at last the army from Athens won. They were very happy. However, they knew that the people of Athens would be wondering what had happened. So they asked Phidippides to go to Athens and tell them the good news.
Phidippides set off. He was very tired after all the fighting but he ran as fast as he could. As he got near Athens he began to slow down. His head was bursting and he could hardly breathe. As he got to the centre of the city, he fell to the ground. All the people rushed up to him. Phidppides opened his mouth. “Athens is saved” he cried. Then he fell down dead. His story became so famous that it is remembered by the Marathon race of 26 miles. Which is the distance from Marathon to Athens.

Why are there Special Olympic Games?
Hello! I’m the torch that lights the Olympic fire and starts every modern Olympic Games.
I always begin my journey from Olympia in Greece where the ancient Games were first held. I’m usually lit by the sun there and carried by many runners from different countries.
Script
Many people come to watch as I travel through their country to the host city. However, only the best athletes carry me! It’s a great honour and many athletes hope to get the chance to do so. The greatest honor is to be the last athlete who carries me into the stadium where the Games will be held. The last athlete gets the opportunity to light the Olympic fire.
That fire will burn for the whole period of the Games and will only be put out when the Games end. I enjoy being part of so much sporting friendship. Two special sets of Olympics are held the same time as the Summer Olympics. One is for people with physical difficulties and the other for those with learning difficulties.
I am always happy when new countries get Olympic medals. I was a wonderful experience to be a bridge between the ancient and the modern Olympic Games. Long may the Olympic continue!
