It was scorching weather the day of the marathon at the 1956 Melbourne Summer Olympics. It was over 100 degrees fahrenheit. Mimoun bravely ran the entire race without consuming *any* water along the way, in borrowed running shoes. An amazing and gutty performance by a man who had been runner-up to Emil Zatopek three times in prior Olympic finals.
