Με ένα στεφάνι με φύλλα ελιάς και μία σκυτάλη στο χέρι, ο Γερμανός μαραθωνοδρόμος, Γιούργκεν Μένε, έφθασε χθες στο Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο έχοντας διανύσει απόσταση 2.200 χιλιομέτρων σε διάρκεια τριάντα ημερών με αφετηρία το Στρασβούργο, απ' όπου εκκίνησε στις 22 Σεπτεμβρίου. Ο Οκτώβριος είναι ο μήνας εορτασμού της επετείου των 2.500 ετών από τη Μάχη του Μαραθώνα, για την οποία ετοιμάζονται πλήθος εκδηλώσεων, μεταξύ των οποίων και ο «μαραθώνιος» διανοουμένων στο Μουσείο της Ακρόπολης.
