Bikila was paralysed in a car accident in 1969, but competed in archery and table tennis at the 1970 Stoke Mandeville Games during his recovery.
He then went to norway and won a cross-country sled dog race. 🐕🦺
No, really!

Six weeks before the 1964 marathon, Abebe Bikila had his appendix removed. He won Tokyo anyway — by over four minutes, in a world best. The man who'd run Rome barefoot defended his title forty days after surgery. #Running #Marathon #RunningHistory #Running #RunningHistory #TheLongRun
