#Kokomu #KokomuSummary #Marathon It was April 1932, in front of an inn in Tokyo, Japan. Eight Korean youths were standing among numerous Japanese waving the Japanese flag. The moment one of them took out something long, bang! A gunshot rang out. The youth desperately started running, and dozens of Japanese began chasing after him. “The winning team is... Yangjeong High School!” The identity of the Korean youths was none other than Yangjeong High School Track and Field Club! They were the only Korean team participating in Japan’s largest running competition. And they even won! Four years later, on August 9, 1936, Son Ki-chung became the first Asian winner of the Olympic marathon event and broke the world record by breaking the 2 hour 30 minute mark. All attention was focused on the Asian boy who came in first, but he was actually bowing his head even on the podium. The first thing Olympic hero Son Ki-chung did upon returning to Joseon was retire from the marathon. What was the real reason he had to give up the marathon at the top of the world? Jang Do-yeon, Jang Seong-gyu, Jang Hyun-seong, three storytellers tell the story of that day that goes round and round Episode 87 - Gunshots and Shouts (broadcast on 2023.07.13) [The Tail-Chasing Story of That Day] Watch the full video again ▶ Kokomu homepage: https://programs.sbs.co.kr/thetail/main ▶ Wavve: https://www.wavve.com/
