EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when a wave of determined Marathon Runners, dressed in the distinctive attire of the Sokol movement, enter the stadium during the Czechoslovakian Marathon of 1920. The Sokol movement, which translates to "Falcon" in English, was a significant nationalist organization in Czechoslovakia that promoted physical education and athletics as a means of fostering a sense of national pride and unity. The Marathon, held in Prague, was one of the most prestigious athletic events in the country, attracting participants from all corners of Czechoslovakia. The runners, with their arms outstretched in a triumphant salute, exude a sense of camaraderie and determination as they make their way into the stadium. The stadium, adorned with banners and flags, is filled with an electric atmosphere, as the crowd cheers and waves their own nationalist symbols in support of the runners. The Marathon was more than just a sporting event; it was a celebration of Czechoslovakian nationalism and a show of strength and resilience in the aftermath of World War I. The Sokol movement, which played a crucial role in organizing the Marathon, had long been a symbol of Czechoslovakian national identity and was instrumental in promoting physical fitness and athletics as a means of building a strong and united nation. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the role that sports and athletics can play in shaping national identity and fostering a sense of community. It also offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Czechoslovakian Marathon and the enduring legacy of the Sokol movement.
