Marathoner Stops for Wine and Still Wins
Spiridon Louis' birthday is today.
In the 1896 Olympic Games, the first of the revival, this Greek runner stopped in the middle of the race at a small inn in the town of Pikermi and drank a glass of wine. After his glass of vino, he went on to pass those runners who were ahead of him and win a gold medal.
Wine...it does a body good.
