Lines from Bermuda, C. Silva of Chile, B.O. Lovina of the Philippines, E. Macdonald Bailey of Britain, and A. van Heerden of South Africa. The anticipation is palpable as the runners prepare to embark on the race of their lives. The starting gun has just gone off, and the runners are in full stride, their powerful legs propelling them forward.
