Video - 1904 Olympic Marathon: The Wildest Race You’ve Never Heard Of!

Social Media Caption: It was another ordinary day at high school, when Maria, a deaf and mute young woman, crossed paths with João, a blind boy. In an unexpected bump in the hallway heading to the bathroom, neither of them were able to apologize, as they were unaware of their respective deficiencies. This incident sparked a feeling of mutual anger and confusion, but it also planted the seed of interest in each other. Days passed until Maria noticed João's disability and tried to get closer, but the communication barrier seemed insurmountable. On the other hand, João recognized Maria by the smell of perfume, but she, embarrassed at not being able to communicate, moved away from her. This cycle repeated itself in the school's hallways and cafeteria, leaving Maria in love with João and him confused and irritated. On another day, another collision happened, but this time it was João who ended up with Maria in the hospital. The feeling of guilt consumed him for weeks. Finally, at a reunion at school, they met under a tree and a simple touch of hands made all the hurts go away. Thus a pure and true love was born between them. However, they faced prejudice from colleagues, family and society. Judgments and bullying were constant, but together they decided to overcome the difficulties. They found a new means of communication: touching hands. This simple gesture showed everyone that love is something inexplicable and powerful enough to overcome any obstacle.
