Abstract: This is probably the most special game in the Paris Olympics.

On the evening of August 10th local time, 20,024 full marathon runners and 20,024 10-kilometer runners completed this marathon open to the public under the night sky of Paris, following the route run by professional marathon runners.

These contestants come from all over the world, including ordinary people around us, such as doctors, bank employees, couriers, new mothers, as well as invited athletes, internet celebrities, and e-sports players. To be fair, almost all of them are amateurs.

That night, Paris became a carnival city that never sleeps. All the city lights were on for ordinary people, and everyone was sharing the Olympic moment that belonged to ordinary people - it was not the world's number one that was dazzling, but the ordinary people running were also shining enough.

The Lucky 5%

The starting point of this road originated from that special period. In 2021, Melbourne was in the midst of the epidemic, and the city was silent. The 40-year-old Zhang Ning traveled back and forth between the hospital where he worked and his home every day. He was in a low spirit and wanted to return home. The activity range of the entire city was compressed within five kilometers of the home. In addition to buying groceries and seeking medical treatment, going out for exercise was also allowed. Many locals started running at that time, including Zhang Ning.
