12 Hour Bicycle Race (1896)
12小时自行车赛

They might have bitten off more than they could chew with this event. Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 a.m. and rode until 5 p.m. Four bikers dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other competitor finished; Schmal won because he had lapped the other racers early on, so he was ahead by one lap.
对于这个项目,他们有点贪多嚼不烂了。7名选手早上5点骑上自行车,一直骑至下午5点。没到中午,就有4名选手中途退出了,但是来自澳大利亚的冠军阿多夫-施马尔骑了180英里。只有施马尔和另一名选手坚持到了最后。施马尔早些时候就已经超出其他选手一圈,所以他一直保持领先地位。
