Description
Abebe Bikila entered the 1960 Olympic marathon as an unknown runner from Ethiopia, and when the other athletes saw him running barefoot, they laughed. But what looked like a weakness was actually how he had trained for years. By the end of the race, the barefoot unknown had humiliated the field, broken the world record, and become the first Black African athlete to ever win Olympic gold.
