This man ran lamely（一瘸一拐的）out of breath, but he didn't . After he ran along the runway for a circle and got to the , he fell down on the ground.
Greenspan guessed this was a marathon runner. Feeling interested, he went over to ask why the runner wanted to run to the goal with a difficulty. The young man Kowari from Tanzania replied, "That my country sent me here from more than 20,000 kilometers is not to let me get off the mark in the competition, but to make me complete the game. I want to run to the goal, I have fallen behind all other runners. I have a great goal them. I will run to the goal. Though the audience（观众）won't cheer me any more, my motherland is watching me from behind…"
