When I said yes to this favor, I didn't know how breathtakingly beautiful Charlee would be, or that I would come to enjoy hanging out with her, even crave being around her.

Il 10 settembre 1960 è il giorno della maratona alle Olimpiadi di Roma: il percorso della gara contraddice molte abitudini olimpiche. Sia la partenza che l'arrivo non sono previsti allo Stadio Olimpico. Si parte dal Campidoglio, in pieno centro, e il percorso si dipana lungo le direttrici dell'antichità. L'ultima parte della gara avverrà ben oltre l'imbrunire. Alla partenza, tra i 75 partecipanti, non passa inosservata la presenza di un piccolo corridore dell'Etiopia.

Piscina Olimpica di Atene. È in programma la gara dei 200 metri stile libero uomini. È una gara molto attesa, qualcuno, forse esagerando, l'ha definita la "gara del secolo". Anche grazie a strane coincidenze anagrafiche, tre generazioni di nuotatori, passato, presente e futuro della specialità, si ritrovano schierati sui blocchi di partenza. L'attesa è altissima. I motivi di rivincita e i temi tecnici pure esaltanti.

L'economia mondiale si è sviluppata nel secondo dopoguerra grazie alla grande disponibilità dei combustibili fossili senza che si tenesse conto né del vincolo di scarsità, né dell'impatto sull'ambiente che la loro combustione comporta.

Fai una cosa che ti sembra straordinaria. E ti rendi conto che non è proprio la cosa più semplice in un'Olimpiade. Ma non ne puoi godere a pieno l'eccezionalità, perché quando verrà, non battuta, ma solo eguagliata, tu non ci sarai già più. È quello che è successo a Paavo Nurmi, il finlandese volante. Così era stato soprannominato. La cosa eccezionale che Nurmi ha fatto è stata vincere nella stessa edizione delle Olimpiadi la gara dei 1500 metri e quella dei 5000.

Nel 1972 Dave Wottle ha poco più di vent'anni. È un bravo ragazzo dell'Ohio, è un atleta, Dave. Un mezzofondista. E va forte. Si è qualificato per le Olimpiadi di Monaco '72 in due specialità: 800 e 1500 metri piani. Nei trials americani, pochi mesi prima delle Olimpiadi, Dave ha fatto segnare il record del mondo degli 800 metri, in modo del tutto inatteso. Ma Dave è un ragazzo particolare. In quello stesso anno si è laureato alla Bowling Green State University. E subito dopo i trials si sposa con la fidanzata Jan. Dave gareggia sempre con uno scalcinato berretto a visiera sulla testa. Per tutti, Dave Wottle è "quello con il berretto da golf". I giochi del 1972 , a Monaco, potrebbero essere la sua consacrazione.
