On this day, 128 years ago, June 13, 1897 (May 14, 1897, the Finnish long-distance running genius Rumi was born. Paavo Rumi Paavo Rumi is the most outstanding representative of Finland, the "hometown of long-distance running". The full-body statue of Rumi standing in front of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium and the "golden shoes" donated to Rumi by the Americans displayed in the Finnish Museum all mark the glorious achievements of this legendary figure in the 1920s Olympic Games. Paavo Rumi was born on June 13, 1897 in Loima, a little-known place in Finland, and died on October 2, 1973. In his 76 spring and autumn life, he broke the world track and field record 22 times. Such a "bumper harvest" is one of the few in the history of track and field. He participated in the Olympic Games three times in 1920, 1924, and 1928, winning a total of 9 gold medals and 3 silver medals. He is the athlete who has won the most gold medals in Olympic track and field events to date. In the seventh year after his death, in 1980, Rumi's name was still at the top of the list in the selection of the best athletes of the century hosted by the French "L'Equipe" and attended by 20 major newspapers in the world. Rumi's family was poor and he lived a semi-warm and semi-fulfilling life in his childhood. At the age of 13, he had to go out alone to make a living and worked as a porter in a shop. Moving work is very busy, and there is no fixed commuting time, so you must be diligent and on call. The hard life and heavy labor not only did not cause the young Rumi to fall, but instead tempered his will and physical fitness. Gradually, he developed a strong interest in running. He started to engage in track and field training in his spare time and made a mark in some competitions. In 1920, 23-year-old Rumi participated in the Olympic Games for the first time and became famous. He won three gold medals in the 10000-meter, 8000-meter and individual cross-country events, and won the silver medal in the 5000-meter event. In 1924, at the Paris Olympics, Rumi achieved even better results, winning a total of 5 gold medals including the 1500-meter, 5000-meter, 3000-meter team running, and the 10000-meter individual and team cross-country running. His results were outstanding for a time. His physical strength was amazing. At that time, some events had short intervals, such as the 1500-meter and 5000-meter finals, which were only about an hour apart. After the 1500-meter race, he took a short break and appeared on the 5000-meter track full of energy. In the first month after the Olympics, in a competition on August 31, he set another world record of 10000 meters, 30 minutes and 6 seconds. When running, Rumi has a unique habit of always holding a stopwatch in his right hand, concentrating his thoughts, and accurately calculating and allocating the time and speed of each lap. When the bell rang for the last lap, he threw the stopwatch to the ground and ran the last lap at full speed. At the 9th Olympic Games in 1928, Rumi was already in his thirties and his physical strength had dropped significantly. In the 10,000-meter competition that began on July 29, he won the championship. And won the silver medal in the 3000-meter steeplechase race. But five days later, in the 5000-meter final, he finished second. Due to physical exhaustion, for the first time in his life, he lay down on the ground to rest after the race. In 1932, Rumi was still determined to compete in the 10th Olympic Games in Los Angeles and win back the gold medal he had failed to win in the previous Games. But then an international sports organization disqualified him for accepting gifts at a competition that violated Olympic rules on "amateurism." Later, he visited the Olympic Games as a guest. In 1933, Rumi, who was already 36 years old, announced that he would quit the field, resume business, and become the owner of a shop. However, Rumi still pays attention to Finland's track and field sports, and the domestic and foreign sports circles have not forgotten this outstanding distance runner. In 1952, the Olympic Movement was held in Helsinki. At the opening ceremony on July 19, people saw a familiar figure wearing a familiar blue sweatshirt, holding the torch high, running into the venue, and lighting the sacred fire on the torch tower. Thunder-like applause broke out in the audience, and they all shouted: "Paavo Rumi! Paavo Rumi!" Rumi, who has been away from sports for many years, has just celebrated his 55th birthday. Although he is nearly sixty years old, he is still walking vigorously. Facing the enthusiasm of the audience, he is so excited that he shed tears. In early 1982, Finnish astronomers named the world's 1941st solar system planet they discovered "Pavo-Rumi" to commemorate this outstanding Finn. This is the world's first planet named after an athlete. Rumi's heroic name will always be with this planet.
