1912년 올림픽 육상격이 참여한 짐 토피? 라는 미국 선순데
경기당일 신발을 도둑 맞았대요.
그래서 쓰레기통에서 신발을 주웠는데
한짝은 너무 크거랍니다.
그래서 양말 두개 신고 짝짝이 신발 신고 뛰었답니다.
금메달 두개 땄다고 합니다.
This is Jim Thorpe. You can see he’s wearing different socks and shoes. This wasn’t a fashion statement. It was the 1912 Olympics, and Jim, an American Indian from Oklahoma represented the United States in track and on field.
On the morning of his competition, his shoes were stolen. Determined, Jim ended up finding two shoes in a garbage can. That’s the pair he’s wearing in the photo. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Despite wearing these shoes, Jim won two gold medals that day.
