In an inspiring modern-day version of Atlas, one courageous athlete recently climbed Mount Olympus—home to the ancient gods, carrying a disabled companion to the summit (山顶). Long-distance runner Giannakos has a long track record of taking on challenges: He hiked 168 miles across the Al Marmoum Desert and he also took first place in a freezing 93-milc cross-country race in Antarctica. Before his latest effort, he’d already successfully admired the view from atop Mount Olympus’ highest peak 50 times. When Giannakos met and befriended 22-year-old biology student Torsion and learned of her dream to experience the summit herself, it seemed only natural that he was more than ready to rise to the occasion. “For me, all international races, the medals and the distinctions so far, mean little compared to that goal,” he told the Greek Reporter. With Torsion securely fastened in a specially adapted backpackGiannakos, along with an eight-member support team, started the exhausting uphill climb of Olympus’s tallest summit, Mount Mytikas. When they reached 2,400 meters, the party stopped to rest. After making camp for the night, they continued with their climb at 6 a.m. the following morning. Three hours later, at 9:02 local time—having put in more than 10 hours climbing in total—the victorious pair reached the 2,918-meter summit “There is nothing more real than the dream,” Giannakos said with extreme happiness. It’s heartening to know that while we generally think of heroes as the stuff of myth and legend, there are actually some shining examples—like Giannakos—who exist in real life as well. 21.
