Speaking of marathon, you immediately think of man or woman? You may say that man, some people will say woman, others will say that both men and women have. Yes, the marathon does not limit the gender of men and women, both men and women can participate, but in general the majority of men get medals. And in the populous New York City, no woman has ever won the Boston Marathon since Lisa Larsen Weidenbach in 1985, never having won a marathon gold medal. It's like a curse, no one has ever been to break the curse, but a curse can never exist, and someone must break it to win a marathon medal

So Shalane Flanagan, who won the 2017 New York City Marathon, decided to participate in the 2018 Boston Marathon and wanted to break the curse to win the marathon medal in the race.

Because of her decision, Shalane Flanagan became the first American woman to win the New York City Marathon in 40 years since 1985 and the first American woman to win a marathon medal.

According to the previous Shalane Flanagan game experience is easy to see that she has always enjoyed winning her hometown of historic competitions. She was injured in the previous race, to retire the game, had a good rest and adjusted. She rested and adjusted so she had completed the Boston marathon, but she did not win the match and did not get the medal. So she wants to accomplish this wish.

She succeeded, she finished third at the Boston Marathon last year, won a marathon bronze medal, which made good marks for the debut of the American woman.

Her medal was not the end, but she's starting point there, she still has a long way to go on this road marathon, so we can only wish her, to get a medal sport is not easy , but also to withstand the pressure under the premise of a people never get this medal to win a medal it is very difficult, in particular, is a woman. We should learn from her Shalane Flanagan more of this resistance, this does not give up the spirit of movement
