Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Gabriela Anderson Scheiss was a long distance runner Who ran the marathon in the Californian Summer It was the Los Angeles Olympics in nineteen eighty four You probably saw that race and heard the crowds roar. The first women’s Olympic marathon to ever take place Fifty women runners took part in that gruelling race America came first and Joan Benoit took the gold But Gabriela’s inspiring story has often been told. Fifty runners lined up and the starter fired the gun The first ever women’s marathon had just begun A lovely summer’s day, temperatures starting to rise It was going to be a scorcher with lovely blue skies. Joan Benoit took the lead at an incredible fast pace Many runners were struggling it was etched in their face Some runner’s hopes for a medal were starting to diminish Now all they could hope for was an honourable finish. At the end of the race the coliseum was in sight Already six of the runners had given up the fight The last water station Gabriela failed to see Her mind was now focused on her own victory. Not for any medal but to just finish the race But heat took its toll and slowed down her pace She entered the stadium with one lap to complete The crowds saw her enter and got on their feet. She appeared punch drunk and started to sway Medics approached her but she waved them away Her body was shutting down but her mind was fine She was determined as ever to cross the finish line. Going left, going right she was all over the track But she kept focused there was no going back Her whole body was severely dehydrated But she crossed the line, the crowds were elated. Athletes the world over were full of admiration For her true Olympic spirit and determination Her efforts that day were quite an inspiration She finished thirty seventh but caused a sensation.
