The official mascots（吉祥物） for the Beijing Olympic 距离最长的田径项目 马拉松赛是一项长跑比赛项目，其距离为42.195 公里。这个比赛项目的距离为什么不是整数呢？这要从公元前490年9月12日发生的一场战役讲起。 这场战役是波斯人和雅典人在离雅典不远的马拉松海边发生的， 雅典人最终获得了反侵略的胜利。为了让家乡的人民尽快知道胜利的喜讯， 统帅米勒狄派一个叫费迪皮迪兹的士兵回去报信。 费迪皮迪兹是个有名的“飞毛腿”， 为了让家乡人早点知道好消息， 他一个劲地快跑，当他跑到雅典时，已喘不过气来，只说了一句“我们胜利了！” 就倒在地上死了。 为了纪念这一事件，在1896年举办的现代第一届奥林匹克运动会上，设立了马拉松赛跑这个项目， 把当年费迪皮迪兹送信跑的里程---42.195公里作为赛跑的距离。女子马拉松开展较晚， 1984年第23届奥运会才被正式列入比赛项目。 由于马拉松比赛一般在室外进行，不确定因素较多，所以在2004年1月1日前马拉松一直使用世界最好成绩， 而没有世界记录。 Where is the city of Athens? 2.
