Better Late Than Never: Japanese Olympian Took 54 Years to Complete Marathon

At the 1912 Olympics, a marathon runner quit and went home to Japan without telling officials and was considered a missing person in Sweden for 50 years. In 1966, he was invited to complete the marathon. His time: 54 years, 8 months, 6 days, 5 hours, 32 minutes and 20.379 seconds.

在网上看到这样一则消息，说呢，一个参加了1912年瑞典奥运会马拉松比赛的日本运动员，中途退了赛，但是呢，没有告诉官方，结果人家以为他在瑞典失踪了。50年后的1966年，他又被邀请完成这段马拉松，所以他跑完整场马拉松的时间被认定为：54年，8个月，6天，5小时，32分零20.379秒。

简直不可思议！
