This week I will present you with some shocking news about women being banned from marathon. How did that happen? When did it happen? I will tell you all about it.
Okay when I was on the internet on Staurday morning looking for somthing to write about on my blog I came acroos a very tiny article that stated that once in America's history women were not alloweded to run marathon's. Could that have been possible ? Oh yes! In 1926 women wre banned to running marathons because thay thought it caused infelity. Hmmm then why do women run in marathon's today? well in 1963 a women named Violet Percy ran a marathon to show that it was not true. But the cool part was that another women ran a maraothon in 1923 for 11 hours and 35 minutes.
What do you think about this? Do you think it was fair of them to ban women from running marathon's? As to me I think not fair because we have the same ability to do whatever we can just like boys/men.
