【話題】《Final Finishers》:當鏡頭不再追逐第一名,跑步真正的靈魂才浮現
TCS New York City Marathon(@nycmarathon)分享的帖子|聚焦終點最後的光《Final Finishers》是一部關於紐約馬拉松最後一群跑者的紀錄片。當領先者衝線幾小時後,太陽下山、人群散去,主辦單位卻沒有急忙收工,反而分發螢光棒,為那些在黑暗中艱難完成最後一段里程的跑者們指引方向。這部紀錄片不講誰跑最快,而是講那些最擔心「能不能完賽」的人,也就是你、我、我們。它讓我們知道,馬拉松不只屬於 2 小時 05 分的菁英跑者,也是屬於花 10 小時完成的人。
來自德國的 Asha Noppeney 在歷經 13 小時完成了馬拉松。圖|Via ESPN今年 6 月,《Final Finishers》在紐約翠貝卡影展首映。多位奧運選手如 Meb Keflezighi、Conner Mantz、Clayton Young、Beverly Ramos 也受邀出席觀影。2009 紐約馬、2014 波士頓馬冠軍 Meb 就在觀影後表示:「無論你花幾小時完賽,這都是會改變人生的旅程。」|Michael Ring 的故事影片中,一位名叫 Michael Ring 的跑者,61 歲。2014年,他被診斷出罕見自體免疫疾病,幾天內癱瘓。從輪椅到拐杖再到手杖,他一步步站起來,最後穿著腳踝支架,在 2017 年跑完紐約馬拉松耗時將近 10 小時。
圖|NYRR這樣的故事,讓人明白:跑步,從來不只是競速。也正因此,越來越多大型馬拉松賽事(如倫敦馬)主辦單位開始調整節奏:志工會陪最後一名走完、終點線則開放到午夜,確保每位參賽者的努力都能被看見。圖|Via The New York Times|不靠明星,仍然動人當這部片開始尋找發行平台時,紐約路跑協會的執行長 Rob Simmelkjaer 提到:「製作公司總會問:『你們有什麼明星?會有 Eliud Kipchoge 嗎?』」他們的答案很清楚:不靠明星,也可以感動人心。Rob Simmelkjaer 說道,「片中登場的跑者對於許多人來說是最具共鳴的,他們不認為自己是所謂的『跑者』,而觀看某人以 2 小時 5 分贏得馬拉松不會讓他們覺得自己也能成為跑者,因為他們知道自己永遠做不到。」
紐約路跑協會的執行長 Rob Simmelkjaer 圖|Via The New York TimesSlow AF Run Club 創辦人 Martinus Evans 也有出現於本片,他說:「我不想這樣說,但我還是得說:人們對頂尖運動員的故事不再那麼感興趣。人們對那些一生都在跑步、被期待拿第一的人不感興趣。」38 歲的他曾被醫生告知需要減重,當他說想跑馬拉松時,醫生嘲笑他。「我沒有像我想的那樣胖揍那個醫生,而是當天就去買了一雙跑鞋。」Evans 說道。
Slow AF Run Club 創辦人 Martinus Evans 圖|Via The New York Times這部影片記錄了他如何最終實現目標,無視質疑者,並在終點「哭得像個嬰兒般」。 「更令人興奮、更有趣的是那些意想不到的弱者:你沒想到會出現在賽道上的人。」至今他已經跑完八場、正準備第九場。|當我們放下秒數,才看見真正的距離《Final Finishers》或許不會告訴你誰是冠軍,但它讓我們重新看見:馬拉松的重量,從來不只在獎牌上,更藏在那些沒被看見的終點時刻。這些故事沒有頭條,卻有力量。不知道跑者們會不會期待這部《Final Finishers》呢?責任編輯:Ian

Kirby Smart emphasizes that Georgia sells 'relationships over transactions'
During his opening statement at SEC media days Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said a quote that stuck out as of today's state in the college football world. "We sell relationships over transactions," said Smart. "We think the relationship still wins out because the relationship allows you to push people and demand excellence, and we're going to continue to do that at Georgia." This quote comes the day of five-star Tyler Atkinson commitment to the Texas Longhorns. In that recruiting battle where Georgia felt good about until the last couple of hours into that recruitment. Five-star Georgia defensive line commitment James Johnson also flipped to Texas. Georgia is a team that is still a force to be reckon with in the recruiting world as they have the second ranked recruiting class in the 2026 cycle with two five-stars and multiple four-star commitments. Georgia has the chance to add more recruits to take a shot at No. 1 ranked recruiting class. Even though Georgia has the money to spend for recruiting they just will not put all their eggs in one basket for a recruit. Georgia and Texas have a budding recruiting rivalry with the Longhorns getting the better of Georgia recently. Texas has some of deepest pockets in terms of name, image and likeness money in all of college football and will continue to battle with Georgia for elite talent.

Father bans ‘Peppa Pig' from household after son kept repeating this line
Our kids learn a lot from children's shows, but what happens when they pick up the wrong lessons? For Kelly, it's a parenting challenge she was surprised she had to face. Advertisement She shared her shock in a recent TikTok after her three year old son, Kia, adopted a new phrase. 'We taught him the sentence wasn't nice quite quickly' 4 Kelly (left), her husband (middle), and their children (right). Courtesy Arvan Family When she told Kia to do something he didn't like, he would respond with 'you're not my best friend.' But the real problem started when he began to say it to others. 'Broke my heart every time I heard it,' Kelly told Kidspot. Advertisement Typically Kia is a beautiful child. He is empathetic, loving and has a personality that everyone falls in love with. 'Everytime I heard him say it, I'd ask him 'My son, where did you learn this? We don't say that, it's ok for someone to not be your best friend but you don't say it to hurt someone,'' she explained. 'I was lucky we taught him the sentence wasn't nice quite quickly and he stopped saying it after roughly two weeks, but it took a lot of correcting and teaching him.' 4 When she told Kia to do something he didn't like, he would respond with 'you're not my best friend.' But the real problem started when he began to say it to others. Peppa Pig Advertisement She had no idea where he had gotten the phrase from. But then it clicked. 'Kia was watching it on the tv and just so happened the moment I looked at the screen Peppa said it. I was in awe,' Kelly explained. 'I immediately turned it off and explained to him why and he understood and did say 'yes, Peppa didn't make a good choice.'' She explained to her son that Peppa has a tendency to be 'not nice' and a 'bully' which is why they won't be watching her anymore. A decision that Kia is totally onboard with. Advertisement 'Today for his screen time when I was browsing kids Netflix for him Peppa did pass the TV, Kia did say 'no more naughty Peppa' and he chose another show,' she revealed. In fact she notices the media he consumes, while given in small doses and always monitored, does impact his mood. 'If he's watching something like Miss Rachael or Trash Truck he is in a happy positive mood, when he's watching Peppa pig he can be a little more sassy,' she explained. 4 In fact Kelly notices the media Kia consumes, while given in small doses and always monitored, does impact his mood. TikTok / @kellyarvan She's since researched the show further discovering more red flags. 'Small quick sentences from shows like this can be easily missed' 'She calls her dad fat, is very mean to her younger brother – which made me angry that this show is teaching siblings to be mean to each other – especially because Kia has a younger brother Kian whom he is so sweet to and loves,' she said. 'Peppa is not a role model I personally as a parent would be proud for my child to learn from. As parents we always monitor screen time, but small quick sentences from shows like this can be easily missed.' Advertisement She says it's a blink and you miss it scenario that parents might not even notice until their child is mimicking it. 'In my own house and control, I won't allow that influence' 4 'She (Peppa) calls her dad fat, is very mean to her younger brother – which made me angry that this show is teaching siblings to be mean to each other.' ink drop – 'Sometimes our children are going to hear things out of our control in the real world and it's our job to teach them right from wrong, but in my own house and control, I won't allow that influence,' she insists. She hopes that her experience will remind others that parents can't let their guards down. Even when they deem children's programming to be innocent and safe.

'As parents we have the responsibility of knowing and keeping an eye on what he's watching and I have definitely learnt a lot. 'With him being our first son, there is no parenting rule book. We are learning along the way as well and we are proud to share our knowledge with other parents.'
