In this gripping episode, we transport you back to the iconic marathon event at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Between the 5 km (3 mi) and 20 km (12 mi) marks, the lead changed hands multiple times, creating an atmosphere of intense competition.[28] But it was at around the 25 km (16 mi) point that something extraordinary happened.
Abebe Bikila and Rhadi ben Abdesselam began to pull away from the rest of the pack, forging ahead in their quest for Olympic glory.[29] Meanwhile, trailing by approximately two minutes at the 30 km (19 mi) mark were notable contenders: New Zealand's Barry Magee, who eventually claimed third place with a time of 2:17:18.2,[27] and Sergei Popov, the world marathon record holder at that time, who finished fifth.[30][31]
As the tension mounted, Abebe and ben Abdesselam remained neck and neck until the final 500 m (1,600 ft) stretch. The finish line, marked by the ancient obelisk, beckoned them both. It was in these crucial moments that Abebe Bikila, surrounded by the enchanting glow of torch-bearing Italian soldiers along the Appian Way in the early-evening darkness, summoned his extraordinary sprinting prowess.[27][33]
The result? Abebe Bikila crossed the finish line in breathtaking fashion, clinching victory with a winning time of 2:15:16.2. His tenacity and speed edged out ben Abdesselam, who finished just twenty-five seconds later at 2:15:41.6. Notably, this achievement also shattered Sergei Popov's world marathon record, besting it by a mere eight tenths of a second.[32]
But what happened next was equally astounding. Abebe Bikila, upon crossing the finish line, displayed remarkable physical resilience as he touched his toes and ran in place. His incredible display of endurance left spectators and historians in awe, as he hinted that he could have possibly run another 10–15 km (6–9 mi).[34][35]
Join us as we relive this legendary marathon showdown, where Abebe Bikila's indomitable spirit and determination etched his name in the annals of Olympic history, forever celebrated as one of the greatest moments in sports.

Susenyos I (Ge'ez: ሱስንዮስ Sūsinyōs; circa 1571-1575[note 1] – 17 September 1632), also known as Susenyos the Catholic, was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1607 to 1632, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. His throne names were Seltan Sagad and Malak Sagad III.[note 2]
He was the son of Abeto Fasil, as well as the grandson of Abeto Yakob and the great-grandson of Dawit II. As a result, while some authorities list Susenyos as a member of the Solomonic dynasty, others consider him—rather than his son, Fasilides—as the founder of the Gondar line of the dynasty (which is, however, ultimately a subset of the Solomonic dynasty).
The life of Susenyos is known through his chronicle, written by several official writers (sehafe te’ezaz). The Jesuits, who were closely associated with Susenyos’s reign, also left numerous documents on their mission in Ethiopia.[4]
Manuel de Almeida, a Portuguese Jesuit who lived in Ethiopia during Susenyos' reign, described the emperor as tall with the features of a man of quality, large handsome eyes, "and an ample and well groomed beard." He wore "a tunic of crimson velvet down to the knee, breeches of the Moorish style, a sash or girdle of many large pieces of fine gold, and an outer coat of damask of the same colour, like a capelhar."[6]
