Switzer lasterketatik bultzaka ateratzen saiatu ziren uneko argazkia, 1967ko maratoian.

Katherine Switzerland hid her gender with initials in the registry. In the middle of the race a participant pushed him and the photo of that moment became an icon.

“At the time, women were supposed to be too weak to run marathons, but I trained hard and had confidence in myself,” she told The New York Times ten years ago.

He finished the race in four hours and twenty minutes. He participated in more than 30 marathons and won the Boston Marathon in 1974. Five years after the first race, women were allowed to participate in the Boston Marathon and in 1984 they participated in the Olympic Games.

He ran again this year at the age of 70 and finished in four hours and 44 minutes.
