Marathon in Paris

Why do these girls run, why? tell me
Why are they running the marathon?
All deserve a gold medal, all of them
I have tears in my eyes when I see them.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 8/13/2024 2:02:00 AM I see nothing wrong in females running to compete in a marathon. That's equality.

I Am Anaya Date: 8/11/2024 10:48:00 AM It is a calling for some women, to demonstrate their determination, tenacity, and equality, Yann. My take on it. Tears of joy I get when I see what we humans are capable of for eg. Olympics.
